Local patrons and tens of thousands of visitors annually recognize this spot as their favorite restaurant in town. With a history dating back to 1873, this landmark building has all the charm of a historic saloon including 4 magnificent back bars, beautiful original hardwood floors and atmosphere to beat the band! High ceilings in the main dining room and a long bar capture the feel of the old West while the cozy back-room bar seating area is, in fact, the original bootleg parlor speakeasy of the town.
