And even more incredible is the bar at the top of the mountain run by a long hair (OR long haired OR long-hair OR long-haired?) wild-eyed (what does wild-eyed mean?)

Wild-eyed means that his eyes have a sort of staring or even perhaps slightly crazy appearance!

Ingenious - very clever, very inventive

Clearings - areas where the trees have been removed

Inebriation - a state of drunkenness (being drunk on alcohol)
