St Charles Saloon

The Best Restaurants and Bars Around Sonora, California | Eater SF

"A sign inside this rough and ready saloon built in 1856 in the historic town of Columbia reminds you to “beware of pickpockets and loose women” and an old Ben Franklin stove is the room’s primary source of heat. But the pizza and beer are why you’re here. On tap kombucha and cider hang out alongside Morgan Territory Brewing’s nitro Scotch ale and Stone Brewing’s Buenaveza Salt and Lime lager. Pizzas come in a range of sizes, from six- to 14-inch (gluten-free only in personal size). Horseradish cream enlivens the sausage and mushrooms on the Columbian and there’s a regular old margherita pizza, too. Take it outside to one of the picnic tables to watch the other tourists go by or to let the kids run around in the open space next door." - Christina Mueller
