If I lived near a real Saloon like that & it wasn't just a tourist trap, I would be a regular there all the time sitting at the bar just soaking up all that history!
Me too! I thought about that as I sat there sipping a brew and absorbing the atmosphere. I can't think of another place like that, and we had just come from Virginia City, my previous favorite.If I lived near a real Saloon like that & it wasn't just a tourist trap, I would be a regular there all the time sitting at the bar just soaking up all that history!
I saved your interior pics to enlarge & study. I read on their website that all the original gaslights have been converted to electric except for one which they light every New Years Day. I remember seeing a brand of gas lamps (Hitchcock?) that have a wind up clock spring with a butterfly key at the bottom. The spring turns a slow fan which helped with the draft for the flame & heat distribution. Thought I saw one of those lights in the pic.Me too!

It would be a vacation for me to fly in, get a room nearby & just spend 3-4 days sitting at the bar & talking with the proprietor. If I owned a place like that, once a month I would have a night where everyone had to dress the period to be admitted. New Years Eve would be fun!Yes, I had forgotten that. They have a brochure available for free there on the bar that gives all of those details. My wife read it out out loud while I listened. I'd love to be there on New Year's Eve, but given that I no longer have a 4x4, I know I never will be. That town, Genoa, has a direct pony express route to Hangtown (Placerville) through the mountains. It's amazing how connected all those towns were, back in the day. I was in Placerville a few weeks ago, not realizing they had a connection to Nevada.
Yes it would! If I were single, I'd join you there on NYE! But I wouldn't want to pay for 2 plane tix.It would be a vacation for me to fly in, get a room nearby & just spend 3-4 days sitting at the bar & talking with the proprietor.
