    This is supposed to be on Whiskey Row, in Prescott, Arizona. No date. Something about it looks odd (besides the donkeys). :confused:

    Original elements from the bar's 1901 rebuild, including a metal ceiling, swinging saloon doors, and wooden doorways, have been preserved.

    :D

    I guess the oddest thing to me are the walls. They look more like a fence. Even the pictures are not hanging from the walls.

    Maybe it was a temporary location for the Palace Saloon. As the link says, the Palace burn down at least once.

    Mebbe this is in the Donkey's quarters and the men are the "guests"?

    And those frontier folk never lost their sense of humor either. While Prescott burned, the bar was still open, and the piano player played. The most requested tune that evening was, “There’ll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight"!

    The bar at the Palace Hotel in Calgary in 1903, with owner Carl Wieting behind the bar. The hotel was located at 104, 9th Avenue West.

    Note pictures hanging at a slant. I guess that's just the way it was done to get a better view.

    The detail in the furniture and bars etc from those day is stunning. Those people really knew how to create beautiful things.

    A trio of cowboys enjoy a drink while conversing with the barman at the Equity Bar in Old Tascosa, northern Texas, 1907. For years Tascosa was considered the cowboy capital of Texas. Its remote location, combined with a population hardened by years in the West, made its saloons perfect places for fugitives to escape to
