The Palace Saloon

It's sordid history as a 19th century pioneer saloon, catering to the likes of Wyatt and Virgil Earp, and Doc Holiday and his girlfriend Big Nose Kate, speaks for itself as a point of interest. This saloon is considered the oldest saloon in Arizona, having operated since 1877 and, even though the building was destroyed in the 1900 Whiskey Row fire, it was rebuilt and reopened in 1901. It has continued operation ever since, maintaining its status as the state's oldest operating bar.

The food is delicious, the friendly staff dress in period clothing, and the whiskey/scotch/bourbon list would make even the hardest of old west gunslingers beg for their mamas.

While waiting for your dinner, grab your bourbon and take in the memorabilia that lines the walls, serving as a mini museum, if you weren't already busy looking at the leaded glass and the centerpiece of the saloon, the Brunswick bar, which was saved from destruction in the fire of 1900.

The 24-foot-long bar was built in New Jersey and freighted around the tip of South America to San Francisco, where it was transported by pack mule to Prescott, then the territorial capital of Arizona.
