Merced, CA 95340
Our neon sign has been designated a Historical Landmark. Almost seventy years later, it is still glowing nightly. Take a step back in time when you walk into our saloon style bar & old-timey cowboy-esque dining room, equipped with over two-hundred local dairymen brands all throughout the building. If you need something more private for a larger group or private party, we have two separate banquet rooms you can ask about booking. As a long standing local favorite since 1952, you will not regret stopping in to let us serve you.
