Aunt Jen Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 What is your favorite saloon, real life or in the movies? You have the one in Deadwood, South Dakota "Calamity Jane" movie "Blazing Saddles" movie "The Paleface" movie.... Bask, because I'm not sure.
Michigan Slim Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 On the porch of the cabin. Fire goin. Deer eating corn 30 feet away. Strong mixed drink. Not much on real life saloons. Used to frequent a couple but coming home with glitter on me was not good.................

Aunt Jen Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Ha! Some real Connoisseurs here! Me, I have little experience. My fav, I think, so far, might be the one in "Blazing Saddles.". The one with Sheriff Bart and Madeline Kahn.... "...'Tex, Ma'am'? So tell me, 'Tex, Ma'am': Are you in the show?" "No!" "Then why don't you get your FEET off the stage!".
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I personally think the saloon in Unforgiven was left a little too messy. And, the saloon in Shane had too many kids in it.

Kid Rich Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Greasewood Flats north of Scottsdale in AZ. Been goin there since '85. kR
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 A second vote for High West in Park City, UT. My favorite watering hole is on my deck when the dogwoods are in bloom and friends are gathered.
DocWard Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Too much shootin' and fightin' going on in those movie saloons!
Sparky Nelson Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 The Irish Harp in NIagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario is a nice quiet place. During the tourist season there's a horse-drawn carriage that sets up across the street. I've offered to ride shotgun for them but they don't see the need.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Used to be a place called the Cactus Club in my home town. 3.2 beer only in Utah at the time... may still be. I haven't lived there in 50 years. Fairly quiet place, dark and friendly. Relaxing.

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 The bar in "Serenity" - the one in which River beats up Jayne.
Captain Clark Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 The Buckhorn in Pinos Altos NM. Straight out of the old west, been open since 1868, maybe off a year on the date. It is a trip back in time, plus some good eats now days!
Rancocas Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Gunsmoke - Miss Kitty's "Long Branch Saloon". Do you know what actor played the bartender and what other employment h was noted for?

Calamity Kris Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 When I lived in Houston, there was a restaurant/saloon named "Dirty's". Sawdust on the floors, picnic benches as tables, great ambiance. Wonderful food, massive proportions, great libations. Their claim to fame was the owner's helicopter that was parked next to the eatery. It was called the "Dirty Bird". Alas, it is no more.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Hi Jen, Mine is a local bar. It is in the National Hotel in Jackson, CA. It was rebuilt after a fire in 1862. The first time I went there, the bar was upstairs and the entire place was rather run down. The basement was full of smelly antique/junk stores. That was in the '70s. We bought one of our first antiques there. It is the lamp in the following photo. Now, the bar is in the basement. Everything has been remodeled and it is historically classy. For more information, look here. http://nationalhoteljackson.com/about/ I love going there because they always recognize me and know me as Allie Mo. Regards, Allie Mo

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The Gem. I'd sit in a dark corner and try to be very inconspicous though.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 No saloons in walking distance of here. That's my rule. Has to be within walking or crawling distance. So I live vicariously through westerns.
Crash Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 A little bar in Canadian Texas called The Stumblin Goat Saloon. Stopped in one day passing thru. Crash
Rusty Chains Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Yesterday's in Chattanooga, gone long ago. Use to go there with friends a lot, it could turn a bit wild on a Friday or Saturday. One of the guys I use to go with had a real knack for getting punched in the nose, he could be on the opposite side of the room from the fight and still get a bloody nose. Last I heard of him he had gotten a job working for the railroad.
