35b "Whiskey" he cries, as he slams his fist down on the bar

So was life in this bar during its heyday during the 49er gold rush era. One can only imagine what life was like at this place after night fall as the gold miners would stroll into the bar with their daily gold dust and drink away their sorrows and dream of hitting it big & going home in style. And of course the bar ladies trying to get them to buy them a drink & perhaps a little extra on the side. This bar opens now for one day only every year during the Humbug Day celebration. Where you too can stroll up to the bar, slam your fist down on the table and say whiskey, and put it in a dirty glass! They were tough in those days.

 

So what will you have partner!
