10 Haunted Bars Where You Can Sip Your Spirits Among Spirits

"Nevada’s Pioneer Saloon doesn’t just look like an old-timey saloon, it really began as one.  The historic landmark of Pioneer Saloon in dusty Goodsprings, Nevada may as well be the template for every Western bar ever depicted. Built by businessman George Fayle in 1913, the bar and its attendant general store quickly became the centerpiece of town, drawing locals and celebrities alike and is now the oldest working saloon in Nevada. Legendary actor Clark Gable once spent three days in the saloon waiting for word on the fate of his wife Carole Lombard, after a disastrous plane accident. Lombard tragically died in the crash and some say her spirit occasionally appears at the saloon, looking to console her grieving husband. There’s plenty of memorabilia to see including some original newspaper clippings, bullet holes, and the unique stamped tin exterior walls of the saloon, manufactured by Sears & Roebuck." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Wow this little watering hole has the charm of the old west mixed with history and modern drinking culture. Purported to be the oldest continuously operating bar in these United States. Its menu is varied and tasty and its service is fine plus there’s a huge outdoor dining and dancing deck The added outdoor space for games such as corn hole made the visit more enjoyable, we had fun playing. The plastic corn hole boards added extra challenge because the bean bags would bounce off the board.

The place is cool. The hostess was not friendly... One of the waitress was in a hurry and would not let me by and I ran into a cabinet as to not run into her and caught my pants on a handle and ripped an 8" hole in them. The food was not good and extremely over priced. Breakfast platter, grilled cheese, biscuits & gravy w/2 eggs, and 4 drinks $70 before tip. The waitress we had was very nice. It was advertised as the place to stop to learn about the area....not so much...

This is a saloon as expected. We stopped in and sat at the bar. I had a beer and the deviled eggs. The eggs were good. For my taste I would have liked more creamy texture. The bar service was good. My friend had the biscuits and gravy. They were so good she wanted to come back the next morning. So we did. I got the biscuits and gravy. They were great!! I hope these will still be on the menu next time we come to Vegas.

The Pioneer Saloon is a place that we always try to bring our Jeep friends from out of town to and all of them end up loving it as much as my wife and I do. I mean, it's just a half hour south of Vegas and yet, it feels like it's a century or more away. Always a good time here and great food and all kinds of great history. Love the fact that it still has a bullet hole in the wall where someone was killed! On the weekends, there's even live music in the evening and in the warmer months, great outdoor seating. The last time we were here, my wife got the Ghost Burger and it was outstanding. Me, I got the Ruben Burger and I would definitely recommend it as well.

Fun place to stop in the middle of nowhere for a beer and a burger. Actually it is easy to get to from I-15. The burgers we had were tasty enough but the buns kind of disintegrate as you eat. Lots of interesting history and they have live music on occasion. They are adding a huge outdoor deck on the east side of the place.

Been here several times and each time has been a great experience. Our first time was during a storm and the kitchen was closed, but the wait staff still went above and beyond to make us the best food they can (I saw a whole lettuce being carried to the kitchen before my salad came out). The RENEGADE burger is a must try! The different meats blend perfectly together in every huge bite.

Haven't been in a while. A few changes since I was there last. (What happened to all the whiskey barrels?) Very popular place. Prepare for a wait. We were told there would be an hour wait for 2 people. It was less than an hour wait. We sat outside (it was a little on the chilly side and heat lamps could have been turned up a few more notches) The band was fun. The food was decent and the service was good for as busy as it was.

Total nostalgia here! Good people abound. I had fries and a Greek salad. Drank cider and an Irish coffee and met the locals. If you are staying in the hot springs make the time to eat and hangout here. It's worth the experience and you are supporting a family business that cares about its patrons.

l can be somewhat nerdy, and I really do enjoy places like this. Time capsules of an era gone by. I have been to many of "the oldest" restaurants, cafes, or pubs in a city, country and even the world. At times it has been been the history and location first, then the food comes second. Opened in 1913, Pioneer Saloon is the oldest bar in southern Nevada, and is not far from the edges of Henderson. It is also a Nevada Historical Landmark with much of its interior being original; including the rustic wall and ceiling stamped tin from the old Sears and Roebuck, and the beautiful cherry wood bar that was sent from Maine. Along the walls of the Pioneer Saloon are interesting marks of its long past. There are three bullet holes from a card game gone wrong in 1915, which are located by the side door. As well as a Carole Lombard and Clark Gable Memorial Wall, which pays tribute to one of Hollywood's legends who was killed in a pane crash not to far from Good Springs in 1942. Pioneer Saloon was the headquarters for the recovery search and where Clark Gabel, who was her husband at the time, drove to after hearing the news. Now for the food- the food at Pioneer Saloon is road food but with a twist here and there. There is barbecue on the menu, bar food, burgers and sandwiches. There are also Saint Louis, MO food items that we appreciated since we lived in Missouri for ten years. We ordered the STL pizza with provel cheese and the Gooey Butter Cake, which was invented in Saint Louis, if you did not know that! Of the two, I recommend the Gooey Butter Cake, as it definitely had a homemade taste. We enjoyed it so much, we ordered one more to go. I also enjoyed my burger because it was something different, the High blue cactus burger! I have never eaten cactus before, I do not think, and never on a burger with blue cheese cream. The cactus did not have a huge flavor to it, and was more texture than taste. It was similar to a firmer squash or like a large bell pepper in texture, not taste. I liked it! Pioneer Saloon is certainly a place with history and a lot of character, plus good road food burgers.

The ambiance is pretty cool. The service was fine, too. The cup of soda was filled to the brim with ice. I realized I should have ordered without ice, since I think the cup contained about 2 ounces of soda. The blueberry pancakes looked great, and my friend really enjoyed them. I got the pizza. It was not great, but it wasn't bad. It was just like a cheap store-bought pizza. I would go back, but I'd order the pancakes or something else. I'd also order a soda without ice :)

On our way back from Vegas, I wanted to take the 5 mile detour and check this place out. It's a small town that was developed due to mining. And the saloon was started in 1913. Walking in its dark wood, which lends to darker lighting. They cook outside. It's warmed really well by a wood stove. There are still bullet holes from the Wild West times. Servers are friendly. We shared the poltergeist burger. It was good and definitely spicy. Not sure if I'll take the detour again to come here.

After learning that they serviced Saint Louis staples, provel, fitzs, and gooey butter cake, we had to try. Gooey butter cake was great, fitzs always good, but the cheese they advertised as "provel" was 100% mozzarella. Would I go back, yes, but definitely not for the non-provel pizza.

This is seriously one of the coolest spots just outside of the Vegas area! Been here like 100 plus years! It's so cool here! Bar,live bands and some pretty righteous Barbecue! This is a popular spot with motorcycle clubs and off roaders as well as tourists and locals who know! In Good Springs everyday is a great day! The staff is quirky,colorful and great fun! The bands are really good! The merch shop has all your souvenirs and the food is Amazing!

Ambiance: if you like old Western movies and are a fan of Clark Gable, then ambiance would probably be 5/5 for you. They had a lot of interesting things inside, like ancient cash registers and interesting, framed photos on the wall. Food: I'll preface this by saying we went as a large group as part of a corporate off-road driving event, so maybe our experience with the food would be different if we sat there and ordered fresh made food... but talking to others in our group, including the hosts of the event, the food was a 1/5. Actually, the brisket was OK , so I could give the brisket & bbq sauce a higher rating... but the other food... I don't like writing bad reviews for small, privately owned businesses, but damn. They served us cold hard chicken drumsticks that looked like they were flame grilled a few days before we got there. One of the guys that works for the company that hosted the event told me they had cold, hard chicken the day before we got there, and he was extremely disappointed. Sure enough, the same cold hard chicken showed up on the day we were there (maybe leftovers from the previous day?). It was really, really bad. It was like roadkill or something that they picked up off the side of the freeway. The potato salad was pretty good. They had pieces of bread that I thought were going to be like buttery Texas toast, but they were just pieces of cold, hard bread that we're probably toasted and then refrigerated or something. Pretty bad. The drinks were all served in pitchers... watered down Diet Pepsi it seemed like more water than Pepsi. If you ever drive out to this area, definitely stop by Pioneer saloon to grab a beer or take some pictures. But don't expect good food. That chicken was gross enough to make the heartiest meat lover go vegan.

Oldest saloon in the neighborhood or something. Lots of character and lots of movies filmed here. A lot of celebrities have walked through the doors. Can it really qualify as a hidden gem? Hmm. Food for thought. Discuss among yourselves. Band playing outside on a Thursday night, that was cool. Don't expect fancy waiters in tuxes, it ain't that type of place. The staff are down to earth friendly people. I ordered the Naked Legs (smoked chicken wings). They took forever, but to be honest between the music, the beer, and the people I didn't mind so much. Especially because they were worth the wait. Spicy, smoky, crispy... Awesome. Bama sauce was the perfect compliment. I had been driving all day, this was the perfect place to unwind.

Fun historical stop in the tiny town of Goodsprings, NV. They offer up burgers with fun names and toppings, bbq and pizza. We sat on the outside patio on a chilly winter afternoon, our dog was with us. They had heat lamps, with picnic benches and assisted tables. My neice and I shared a gouda burger and patty melt The burger was tasty with a yummy bacon jam. I thought it would have lettuce on it, that would have bulked it up a bit. A fun historical stop. My brother goes occasionally as he lives in the area. He says they have great bands on the weekends.

We stopped by here to eat after our ATV tour since it was recommended by our tour guide. It's such a unique place with so much history and its worth checking out. It's an establishment that has been around since the early 1900s and it's never closed down through wars, gold rush, pandemics. The bbq sandwich and the green beans were delicious. The cole slaw, however, needs to be revised. I didn't even find it edible. We will come back when we are in the area again.

This used to be a real fun place. Now they turned it into a restaurant where you can't mingle, you can't hang out at the bar, and if you want to see the band, well...too bad. You must stay where you're seated. The substandard food is served in a to go container and service is slow. There is one flushable toilet for women and portable outhouses on the side of building. Not sure how you screw up such an iconic place, but they sure did. No fun.

We arrived for lunch. The place was full due to a senior band playing. We had to go outside to dirty tables and no heat. When the service came We ordered some waters and hot chocolate because it is so cold out. While waiting for the drinks it started to snow. One of the waters came back in a dirty cup. My sandwich BLT was cold. Overall nice place to see outcome with low expectations

Pioneer Salon is located in Goodsprings, Nevada about a 30 minute drive from Las Vegas.  Goodsprings is a 100 year old mining "ghost" town that has a few structures and inhabitants. It's a nice place to visit for a feel of history.

Absolutely amazing place. It was a chilly, clear day when we visited, and the pot belly stove was keeping everyone so comfortable and warm. From the servers to the silent cowboy who tended the fire and kept the place neat and tidy, everyone was fantastic. Live music outside in the back made the atmosphere ideal. The cactus burger was so tasty. I loved it. Added bonus of a few horses out front to greet you!

One of the best Old Fashioned's we've ever had. It's made with the owner's Old Man Liver whiskey which is pretty good on its own too. It's kind of a drive from Las Vegas, but not too bad for a day trip. It was a pretty cool bar/restaurant with some decent food (we shared a BLT) and some good drinks. The bar was small and was already full before noon, so we couldn't just sit and have drinks. It has a lot of history and was totally worth the drive from Las Vegas, IMHO. Also, if you're traveling between CA and LV, then you should make the minor detour to check it out.

After hearing about this iconic spot for many years we finally decided to take a drive to Goodsprings. The oldest bar in Southern Nevada, The Pioneer Saloon has been operating since 1913! This cool little saloon has a rich history, much of which you can find online or check out the framed articles covering the walls. Interestingly, the original 1860 potbelly stove is still heating this Saloon & the walls and ceiling are the original stamped tin from Sears & Roebuck Co. The Pioneer Saloon has been featured on the History Channel's -Ghost Adventures. Rich with 100+ year history, Its not surprising the many ghost stories/sightings that have been experienced here. I see why this is a bikers paradise. Long scenic rides with a friendly stop that includes Ice cold beer and good hog parkin'. The burger probably taste damn good after a long ride in laid back spot. The burgers are served with a bag of Vicki's chips in a to go box delivered to your table. I would definitely go back to have a Ice cold beer or specialty drink while trying some Pioneer BBQ. The atmosphere is great, full of friendly customers and a super friendly staff!

Having eaten at The Pioneer saloon MANY times over the years- we went recently to enjoy a 'World Famous' Ghost Burger. WOW! Severely disappointed! The meat patty wasn't 'World Famous'! The Ghost Sauce- wasn't'World Famous'! Not one strip of 'World Famous' jalapeño BACON! ( used to have 2) The 'World Famous' Ghost Burger Is garbage!

This is by far the best place to hang out on karaoke Friday!! Yes, there are other places in Vegas, but this is the best place to relax and let your hair down. It's a bit of a drive from Vegas, but is well worth it! Even coming here on every other Friday for three years and we love it! Nancy, Tyler, and Michelle are awesome, bartenders, and servers! Their burgers are amazing and so is the pizza! So, take a little trip out here and you'll never forget it!

Service was slow, ambience and music were great, but they gotta stop this whole nonsense of describing their hot dogs as "grilled to perfection". It literally came cold, undercooked, and had as much flavor as an old shoe.

A must visit when in Vegas! I tell everyone to come here. It's such a special place with a long history. Come in, read the info on the walls, sit at the table where a card game turned into a deadly gunfight and the light shines through the bullet holes that went through the victim then the wall. Touch the cigar burns on the bar where Clark Gable sat decades ago while waiting for news about his wife and actress Carole Lombard who died in a plane crash on a mountain just outside Las Vegas. The food is good, there's usually a band and it's definitely haunted! I wish the new owners would bring back the tacos and the crack chicken though. (With Franks hot sauce) Worth the drive! It's listed as one of the top bars to visit in the USA, and many films have been shot here. All are invited and you'll feel very welcomed.

Summary for the busy executive: Come for a drink and the atmosphere. Dine elsewhere, unless you desire mediocre food and excruciatingly, unacceptably slow service. Full review: The Pioneer Saloon is certainly a cool spot: a cowboy/biker bar in a hidden, quasi-ghost town that feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, despite the fact that you're just minutes away from the Las Vegas metro area. The interior is charming, with a long mahogany bar and a dining room with a shrine to Carole Lombard and Clark Gable. Next door, there's an old General Store, which is now really just a gift shop and which serves as the entrance for the restaurant. The two buildings are connected by a large deck and a fabulous patio. The back deck of the restaurant serves as a bandstand, and the whole outside area is boasts a lively party atmosphere. I was there on a Saturday, and the hostess got us onto the patio and seated at a table right in front of the bandstand quite quickly. I had my dog with me, and they were gracious about her joining us. The band was wonderful, and the guests were eating up the comfortable weather, dancing and drinking away the afternoon. We got off to a great start. Things declined rapidly once we were seated. It took the server about twenty minutes to come to our table. Since we had been there for a while, we were ready to order, and we placed a rather simple one: a 10-inch pizza and two soft drinks. Fifteen minutes later, our drinks came. Thirty-five minutes later... Nothing. Soon thereafter, the server returned, apologized for the wait, and asked if we needed anything; my companion asked for a refill on her soda, and I asked for a water. Twenty minutes later (seeing the theme here?), the server returned with a soda refill and another apology. No water. Fifteen minutes after that, we finally got the pizza. Never got the water. Did you do the math? I did: 10 minutes + 15 minutes + 35 minutes + 20 minutes + 15 minutes = 95 minutes. And what did we wait for? Not much is the answer. The pizza was pitiful, gas station fare: hard, saltine-like crust, jarred sauce, cheese that slid off the crust, and a handful of vegetables. Had it come out in fifteen minutes or a half hour, I wouldn't have complained. But a 95-minute wait for this food proves one thing: this management has no business running a restaurant. Time to downscale to a bar with some bags of pretzels, guys. Or else, hire a kitchen manager, and fast. After we ate our sad lunch in about fifteen minutes, I wasn't willing to wait for the server to come back to the table. So I went to the bar to pay. I bumped into her, and she produced a mobile pay station and got me out of there pretty immediately. She was apologetic for the wait time--but not quite apologetic enough. She lamely said that they get busy on Saturdays (not really an excuse; plan better) and took a full $25 for that bad 10-inch pizza, two sodas, and a forgotten glass of water. Certainly not worth the money, even had the service been acceptable. Will I be back? Possibly. I'd like to show people the little town of Good Spring and the lovely patio. I'll take them there on a lazy Saturday for a beer and a chat. But I'll order my drinks at the bar, and I'll never, ever wait for food here again. I suggest that you, dear reader, follow the same game plan.

We went for Mother's Day. The band was not bad, the service was fine but the food was awful! The potato skins were hard. One of our burgers came out without the patty and the other meals were just edible.. It was not like it was pre COVID. Will not go there for food again.

I don't know where to start...this is my most favorite dive bar in the entire world. The food and hand squeezed drinks are phenomenal with pricing to match. My son was blown away to meet Easy Pete from the Fallout video game. Everyone was very hospitable and friendly. The service was slow, there were over a hundred people there, so that was expected. Got to meet Old Man Liver, who is hilarious. A definite must if in this area on Nevada...

What a cool local historical site. The staff was very informative about the local history. The saloon is a local watering hole and offered a dining area with a full menu. There is a souvenir/gift shop located next door. The saloon also has live music.

We came here Christmas Eve of 2022 to celebrate my birthday. We found the bullet holes in the wall, left there because a man was shot for cheating at poker in the early 1900's. We found the cigar marks left in the bar by Clark Gable, we are told we went on a drinking binge and left cigar marks on the bar when he found out his wife actress Carole Lombard has died in a plane crash. We learned about a video game called Fallout: New Vegas using this bar as part of the game when it was created. Of course, being a small Nevada town the place is said to be haunted as well. We tried a Ghost Burger, Poltergeist Burger, an Old Man River Burger, and the Naked Hot Legs. Items we were told would be hot and spicy, just weren't what we were expecting. But that's okay, food was devoured anyway. Service was great. The atmosphere was fun. Going to the Pioneer Saloon is worth the effort !

Nice little haunted hang out. Quaint little menu. The server was happy to inform of different aspects of the menu. I'm a little disappointed about no pin since I collect pins from areas I visit but did get an asshole patch and smashed penny for my collection and for my husband's riding vest. I got the haunt dog with potato salad. The husband's baked beans were awesome. I recommend making a trip out and make your own decisions for this place for yourself

Ok, so I'm not from Las Vegas, but I loved Fallout New Vegas. I had no idea that Goodsprings and the Pioneer Saloon were real. They sure are. Wow, what a neat place to visit. The food was well better than either of us anticipated, and the drinks stood up as well. For a place featured both in Fallout and Zac Baggan's Ghost Adventures, it was so fun to see in real life. There are so few of these old time venues still open. I take no issue with them having "cash grab" merch, or living off their reputation. These people are just trying to make a living, and I was more than over the moon to get to experience a legitimate pioneer bar. To think of everything that has occurred within those four walls boggles the mind. Check out the Pioneer Saloon. So cool.

I love Pioneer for the live music and drinks but as far as service and food save yourself the money. As someone who frequents often...if I was a waitress out there I would be killing it...clearly the waitress doesn't want money or tips. We went to the bar 3 separate times to get drinks because the waitress was so slow with food. She could make so much more money if she would put in effort...food came out cold! Don't expect much of anything from the waitress...clearly she doesn't want to make money!

My wedding reception at Pioneer Saloon was straight up outta a fantasy. I was BEYOND HAPPY w/ everything!!! From the communication w/ Stephanie leading up to the event (A+), to the day-of help from JACOB (total rockstar angel) - my expectations were seriously succeeded. This roadhouse gave us the 5-star venue treatment!! We had a lot of requests (we brought our own band + had more than few guests w/ special diets) and they were totally accommodating / made it happen. Thank you Stephanie for helping us put together our night (and our thoughts) - your communication put us at ease long before the event. And once again Jacob, you killed it!! I didn't end up at the bar myself (though I somehow had many drinks) but our guests had plenty of compliments for the bartenders too (thank you!). Oh man, Pioneer Saloon is gonna live in my heart forever.

Get ready for a journey back in time! We saddled up and visited Pioneer Saloon, where Clark Gable and Carol Lombard wrote their own western story. Yeehaw! Our taste buds danced to live country music, and our jaws dropped at the mouthwatering burgers. This place is like a time machine to the old wild west! But wait, there's more! Don't miss their memorabilia room (yep, it's a thing)! Immerse yourself in the legends of Clark and Carol. ‍ Friendly service is their secret sauce, so grab your cowboy hat and come on down. Your tastebuds will thank you!

Located off a dark desert highway. The 15 to be exact lurks a secret but not so secret old time Saloon. Look for the signs Pioneer Saloon while traveling to or from Las Vegas. Your going to exit when you see Terribles casino then head towards the Starbucks. Keep on going about 7 miles. You may not see any other life forms along the way but trust me, keep going. The old Saloon offers a dirt parking lot full of rumble. There are a couple of old run down buildings including a gift shop. To top it off its haunted. So they say. The bar is very lively. Walls are scattered with pictures of celebrities who've visited, movies that were shot and interesting articles. There are 2 sides. The bar side that usually has a live band. Then the dining area that is kid friendly. We ordered a couple of burgers presented in a box with a bag of chips. Food was good. Service was friendly. This is a place everyone should visit at least once.

Service from the waiter was excellent. Food is still decent. It can get extremely busy on the weekend especially when the weather is nice. I wish food wasn't in to go boxes, but it could just be when they are super busy? The BBQ brisket sandwich was really yummy with yummy beans and yummy coleslaw.

This place had the friendliest staff, intricate details and history to look at outside and inside the premise, and the most delicious burger. They offer dog food and our dogs got a chicken patty and a beef patty, and they enjoyed it. Will definitely come back again.

My 80 year old mom came to Vegas to visit me and I drug her from one end of the state to the other. And the highlight she proclaims??? The Pioneer Saloon. Maybe because she loves a good western and walking into this saloon is like walking back in time. There was a live band playing 90's country in the back courtyard where they grilled my heavenly ghost burger. Staff were friendly and shared info about the town, the bullet holes and let my mom touch the burn marks in the mahogany bar left by Clark Gable in the year she was born... It was everything you could ask for in a ghost town saloon.

This totally old time saloon. Has history like you wouldn't believe. Although taken over by new owners, and some of the classic burgers have been taken off the menu, it still comes in at a four-star for us. It is a family destination each year we are in Las Vegas. New owners, please bring back the pineapple burger. It was your star.

The burgers were top notch, so fresh and full of flavor. definitely my new favorite place to go on the way to Vegas! To add to one of the best burgers our server Phillip from Fort Worth was witty, personable and a top notch host with the most. Looking foward to stopping there again with some friends on our next adventure to Vegas.

Come for the HISTORY, and enjoy Tasty Sandwich! Who know's, you might even get your own Ghost Story! I saw this Saloon featured in Ghost Adventures. The saloon has been opened since 1913, and has a rich history that includes murders, and most famously was where Clark Gable waited 2 days for word of the Plane Crash, that took the life of his wife Carol Lombard in the Mountains nearby. There is a room dedicated to Clark Gable and Carol Lombard that includes a piece of the TWA plane that crashed! That is where me and my Lovely Lady were sitting alone, when we had something strange happen. We were both given a menu, and on the back was a history of the saloon. The back of her menu had a copy of a letter written by the Vegas coroner to the Family of a man that was killed in the bar. The back of my menu had a chronological history of the bar. So I read the back on my menu, and finished while she was still reading the back of hers. So according to her, and I think this is how I recall, I took a picture of the cover of my menu for the artwork, and knowing I was going to leave a Yelp review. She finished so we traded menus, so I could read the back of her menu and she could read mine. When I handed her my menu, the cover was gone. It was a blank page!! She asked me several times if I was playing a joke. I said I wasn't. She is 100 % convinced that I took the photo of the cover while she was still reading. I tend to agree, but can't remember for sure, but I am almost positive both our menus has a cover!! Now one of the menus was a black page cover! SPOOKY!!! The food was tasty. I ordered a ham and cheese on Texas toast and was happy. Service was very good! Thanks to our server Kristie! It's only about a 35 minutes drive South from Vegas, or a great place to stop at driving back to Los Angeles! Highly Recommend!!

The history of this place is super cool!! I've never been to this town in general and thought it was awesome. I definitely think it's worth it to go because it is very cool, however, if you're coming here for the food it is very mediocre. The burgers are not very good and they just give you a bag of chips. I still think that this place is very cool, despite the mediocre food. Worth the visit to check out the pioneer saloon and the ghost town.

I love this haunted spot. Best burgers you can get. The service is always amazing... the vibe and ambiance is so relaxing and down to earth. The history this place has is so interesting to me. Im glad this spot is still around! I come at least once a year and try to show as many people as i can.

The atmosphere was nice but the servers were extremely rude when they seated us and served us. They never checked on us the entire time we were there and we waited over an hour for our food and had to ask a different server to bring it out. We are so disappointed and love supporting our locals but we will not be back here unfortunately.

We been here before and decided to go listen to what band was playing today. They were called The Smashers who played great 70's, 80's rock and roll took me back when I was in high school and during lunch they would play over the loud speakers AC/DC etc,. Great ambiance with the ghost town theme and pictures in the dinning area with famous people who visited the saloon. Tyler was our waiter he did a great job getting our orders bringing our drinks and when my wife felt she was getting to hot (it was 113) in the shade we decided to go inside. Tyler attended my wife and was a great help (we thought she was coming down with heat stroke) but with his quick thinking and bringing her water she did great. Food is fantastic I had the poltergeist ghost burger, if you love heat like I do this burger was what the heat doctor ordered. Made with jalapenos, jalapeno bacon habanero on top of the bread and some ghost sauce over the patties. It was so good I wanted to order another one for the road. All of our foods were great we enjoyed them even my wife. Tyler thank you for your great customer service you out did yourself bud. Last time we were here we had a female waitress and she was excellent as well, we never had a problem and a another reason to keep coming back. I believe there's going to be some great music coming the next few weeks be sure to check these bands out.

I am from west TX, This place was an amazing place to eat, and has very much resemblance to the prospector saloon from Fallout: New Vegas. This saloon also has a very unique history itself. It was an amazing place to visit, with amazing service! Would definitely recommend visiting it!

New management has taken over and they are doing some good work with the place! It's still a work in progress for them but it's coming along. Although the food takes a while to come out, it's always good. While you wait, there usually is a band playing so you get some good entertainment while you wait. Not to mention their drinks are really good too!

Food is amazing! You wouldn't think so for somewhere almost in the middle of the nowhere but it's quaint and the people are actually friendly and lively.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GAS LIKE WE DID. After arriving on 8-27-2023 and waiting for about 15 minutes I went and got our menus. We sat there for about 30 more minutes while the so called waitress stood there talking to someone, then turned and walked away. It wasn't even busy and obviously she wasn't there to work. We planned this vacation day to hang out there, and ended up wasting time. I'M STILL PISSED OFF!!!!!!!
