As a resident of Northern Nevada, I would like to point out that a lot of old saloons are still in operation in Virginia City. Not to mention that gambling and brothels are not outlawed in Nevada, so we’ve got plenty of, for lack of a better term, “modern saloons” where you can gamble while you drink at the bar and then go to bed with a worker of the night afterwards.

I recognize one of the saloons featured. It's in Deadwood, S.D. We went there on our Honeymoon 46 yrs ago. Awesome place to visit. There is an entire block (or 2) set up exactly like the 1800's. Employees wore the clothes of that era. Dirt roads, horses, sassafrass...

Instead of spitoons some 1890's saloons had a brass or tin trough that ran the length of the bar and angled downhill. It served double duty as yes a spitoon but also as a urinal so serious drinkers could relieve their bladders without giving up a choice spot at the bar. The Log Cabin bar in Ashland Oregon had one that ran into Lithia Creek out back. those were the good old days. The last time I was there it had become a Frat boy hangout, a modern tragedy.

Saloons sometines had a 'flow through spitoon', a trough along the front of the bar with running water used for washing away spit and quite often for taking a leak. One of these still remaining is The Brick in Roslyn, Washington. If you were a fan of the sitcom Northern Exposure from the 1990's you've seen it before. It was used for some interior shots and for the opening credits where a stylized apostrophe s was added onto the outdoor mural reading 'Roslyn Tavern' to make it into 'Roslyn's Tavern'.

Looking at photos of old saloons convinced me that the biggest difference between reality and the Hollywood version of it is money. Saloons used to be cheap, crude places, with few exceptions. Hollywood saloons typically are filled with expensive glass and mirrors and art, stuff that was rarely seen in rough cattle towns. Hollywood saloons almost invariably include a pianist who performs Camptown Ladies or other classics flawlessly. There weren't a lot of professional musicians of any sort in old saloons.

I remember when I started drinking aged 17 back in 70's Liverpool, England a lot of bars had changed little from Edwardian times and were like wild west saloons, (especially Yates's Winelodges). Wooden panneling, bare wooden floors sometimes covered in sawdust. Tables and chairs in such poor condition that noone would dream of stealing them. Toilets sometimes unspeakably filthy and vandalized by drunks, (a smashed toilet seat was not uncommon). Mostly male clientele. Unaccompanied women invariably prostitutes. Wares of dubious origin were sold with impunity. Also more rowdy than bars are today: late at night things would get loud and lively, fruit machines chiming, juke boxes playing; lot's of men staggeringly drunk, and on an average night you could be almost guaranteed a bar fight. I look back with a mix of nostalgia and disgust.

It's been a little while since I've been to a bar. Depending on where you live here in Mexico there aren't any little neighborhood bars or cantinas like you might expect. You have to stock up at Costco or Walmart for a variety of libations. But good Mexican beer is for sale everywhere and it's cheap. The local Oxxo convenience store is Mexico's Circle K. They're everywhere just like Circle K. Decent selection of beer. It was better before Covid. I just drink at home with the neighbors or alone. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a little neighborhood bar here. But it's all good. Viva Mexico! 🇺🇸✌🇲🇽

The liquor of the Wild West era wasn’t really like the liquor of today. The liquor back then was quite different in strength, ingredients, and in chemical composition. Moreover, the drinks back then weren’t always as safe as you find nowadays. The hygiene standards back then were quite different than today, including in the production of food and drinks.

I have driven through Nevada twice going across country from Florida and Wyoming and back with a relative from Australia but unfortunately he did not have much time in America so we drove straight through only spending a half day once in Wyoming. So though it was a quick trip, I really liked what I seen in Nevada but I liked Missouri a lot more. About 15 years ago I stayed weeks in St. Charles Missouri and went around to local cities and towns so maybe that is why I liked it alot more but many areas in Nevada was very similar. I wished I could move to the country actually but I own so much in Florida that it would not be worth selling on with the way the economy is today as I would lose way to much money.

@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 keep the Florida land, always good to have! Very rich history, great for insurance if destroyed, and tax/asset protection is the best in the country, especially with a homestead clause, and Floridas is one of the first ranching states, biggest cattle ranch is in Florida, I believe, too, a lot of people think its Snake Ranch, which it aint. I love Nevada but this is not easy land to live in. Great place to visit, though. We have the most mountains in the continuous United States, so great for hiking, we are the most free state, considering you can smoke anywhere, the legal brothels, etc, so you can walk into a bar dual wielding pistols. Very tough people, I do love Wyoming, too, tho, spent quite a good amount of time there in youth, too. Though it was a rough one, I still had fun.

One of the most important aspects of frontier life is rarely depicted in film for the obvious reason and that is the sheer boredom experienced 99.9% of the time. As life was pretty much 100% agrarian in some form or another, you worked your ass off from sun up to sun down, usually six or seven days of the week, ate dinner, then went to bed completely exhausted just to start over again the next morning. People who did not live in town visited on average of once a month for supplies and catch up on the goings on. You are much more likely to engage in violence in a modern saloon compared to a 19th century saloon especially as guns were typically outlawed within city limits of any town and carrying one meant a night in jail and very possibly a beat down before hand. IMO the best adaptation of true frontier life was the beginning 30 minutes of Unforgiven with Eastwood & Freeman toiling away on their respective shitty patches of dirt, life constantly a struggle. One can fully understand why people turned to crime as it at least was a welcome break for the non-stop boredom and monotony of frontier life, plus it paid considerably better.

In the early days of prohibition, you could drink in North Dakota, but purchase & sale were illegal. Montana was still alcohol friendly for several more years. In the border town of Mondak, one of the saloons actually straddled the state line. You could walk over to the bar on the MT side & purchase your drink, then you were able to walk back and take a seat at your table in ND where it was still legal to consume. 🍺

Some of the old pubs in Paisley/Glasgow scotland were like this, just mad house's but never a dull moment

There were some short stories written about Australian "saloons" with the most entertaining of these being the claim that the salvation army was bribed by one hotelier (saloon keeper) to come out front of his hotel, decry the evils of drink play music and other wise keep the patrons entertained. The story went that the drunk customers were very generous.

My boyhood neighbor in the early 1960's told me of his boyhood in Montana in the early 1900's. He started to talk of saloons in those days, open every day at all hours. One early Sunday morning found him delivering a bundle of newspapers to a Saloon, which he liked because he had to go inside and throw the papers up onto the bar. As he walked in his attention was drawn to a table of three cowboys playing cards. A voice was loud, one cowboy arose from the chair, shots rang out and all three were dead. The Marshall was called, and then the undertaker, the newspaper photographer came, the bodies of all three laid out on the wooden sidewalk as the photographer took photos. They had been playing cards and drinking all night, one had been shot above the table, two below the table. Of course in the excitement he had lost all sense of time and realized he was late for getting back to home to prepare for Church. Then his mother arrived, ascertained the display of the godless upon the wooden sidewalk and collected her son, directing him by a firm grip upon his ear, his satchel of newspapers thrown upon the ground. And so he said, that was how his career as a paperboy ended and his parents and he became Baptists.

"Go ahead throw a drink in to her." Ahhhh, not since Willie Shakespeare have I heard such eloquence!

Having my hometown mentioned multiple times in one video is pretty cool. Ft worth for life!

@weird history Love your channel very much! Thank you for that! What about gunfights? Were they really frequent and like, "Draw Partner" like in the movies and on a regular basis or is that just fist full of nonsense?

Read Dickens of the North West mounted police. It's the biography of one of Charles Dickens illegitimate sons who joined the newly formed North West mounted police in Canada. His aim was to write his exploits in a book and get rich. Sadly died before he could do that, but he tells of going to an American Western town saloon, meeting sitting bull, etc. It's a great read.

The pub I used to work in was built around 1890, and still has the original bar and many of the original fittings like stained glass and decorative lights, to this day it still has the feel of an old Saloon. Supposedly it even has several ghosts including that of the former lady of the night if you catch my meaning ;) Theres a brilliant photo of it you can Google from back in the day that looks straight out of a Western, even though it's in South Wales. Creigiau Hotel, now the Creigiau Inn. Pretty cool.

Love that name, The Boston Saloon in Virginia City Nevada. I actually remember hearing about it on the radio in my BMW Tesla Silverado.

I was waiting for a bus in Pendleton and got to talking with an old Cayuse gentleman. He talk about riding horses all the Blues. He said that he tried going to church, but the snobbery and drove him off, but he always felt welcome in a bar. I am not much of a drinker, but like going to bars. Especially ones with a smoking section. Smokers are friendlier than the morally superior.

Free peanuts kept them drinking, and the shells protected the floors too.

In every movie western that I can recall, saloon patrons always drank either whiskey by the shot or, more rarely, beer. I don't recall them ever drinking wine or mixed drinks.

Very informative and entertaining.
