Dayton TapHouse
The Dayton Taphouse is one of Nevada’s oldest saloons.
“We have a lot of history here. I’ll let you guys be the judge of who’s the oldest saloon. “A history that stretches back 150 years. “If you like to see ghosts, you can come here and maybe you’ll run into a little ghost,” said Chris Martinez.
Owner Chris Martinez purchased the taphouse 14 years ago. “When I met my friend Mark, who I got the place from, he had more vision and believed in me. He saw my fire in me and believed in me.”
He’s recently renovated the historic property. “It sparked my fire. Because I knew that I could do it. My dad raised me that you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it.”
During the process, a gentleman named Tom, the son of the original owner, told Martinez that parts of the movie Misfits was filmed here.
“...He goes, my mom calls me over and says, ’I want you to meet somebody.’ He was 16 years old when you could bar back at that age. You could. He says, ‘I was helping my mom, and she came over. ‘Hi, Ms. Marilyn Monroe right here. He shook Mr. Clark Gable’s hand. ‘Hi Mr. Clark Gable. Hi Mr. Montgomery Clift.’ And he says I went right back to work, not realizing who he had met.”
A section of the taphouse honors Marilyn Monroe. “We nicknamed that Marilyn Monroe because Marilyn Monroe loved hanging out in this bar. She enjoyed being here, she loved drinking the nights away with the lady that owned the place because they had a real bond.”
You might also remember the movie Honky Tonk Man with Clint and Kyle Eastwood. “The breakfast scene is here. And then you can see the whole bar. The hotel burned across the street, the Fox Hotel. He was arrested in front of there. The jailbreak is done in the parking lot and then he drives down Pike Street.”
Nowadays, the Dayton Taphouse is known for its homemade food. “Homemade Tri-tip. From my Santa Maria Tri-tip from my grandfather’s rub. We do homemade burgers and homemade pulled pork. All kinds of sandwiches and we are also adding pizzas. Kids pizzas, homemade pizzas here.”
Along with a taste of unique history. “Come back in history with us. That’s what we have. We have a lot of history here that you cannot find in a lot of places. We have it here for you.” The taphouse has been closed for the past few months for renovations and it is now open to the public, starting Friday April 5th. The taphouse is located on, 160 Main Street, Dayton Nevada 89403.
