Bump!
What a great story.
Go Utah! Home of outlaws, polygamists, drunkards and one stupid senator.
This joint was where we could get all the beer we wanted during high school. My first high school girl friend lived 100 yards from this cool little bar. In this Ogden valley we have hunting, fishing, skiing, water skiing and all the rest. There was even a monastery in this quaint little Mormon town. My grandfather was born there in 1864.
There are good people in this country.
Looks like my kinda bar. “Five Wives Vodka” cracked me up.
This was a good story. I’m glad that this is an anonymous site so I can write that I gave the money from my “stimulus” check to the owner of my favorite small town bar and restaurant (that has been scraping by with takeout) and told him to divide it up among his whole staff equally and anonymously. They need it more than me.
Great story! I haven’t been out West in decades but if I do I’ll visit this place.
By the way, look at the last pic in the article, the blackboard at the end of the bar. Priceless!
bttt
That looks like a very cool place. If it opened in 1879, it has Husongs beat by a few years.
Been there several times. Great place.
That is a fantastic story. You should expand and publish it. Most Americans love the Old West. I do! I’d buy it.
