Two different sets of alcohol-control laws are the reason for its existence.

Polk County, Arkansas, is "dry." (For our non-American friends, that means that
the sale of alcoholic beverages is entirely prohibited.)

Le Flore County, Oklahoma, now allows the sale and serving of beer, but it
formerly allowed sale only at licensed "package stores" and prohibited
on-premises consumption.

The State Line Tavern was formerly a licensed Oklahoma package store. Beer was
sold in the Oklahoma side, but it could not be consumed there. It had to be
taken by the purchaser into the Arkansas side of the building for drinking.
Now, it can be both sold and consumed in the Oklahoma side.
