Jake's Saloon

Jake's Saloon looks great from the outside, and well, the clientele look even better. I saw the most beautiful man sitting on a bench in front of the place at around 6p.m., on Saturday, June 9th, 2012. An athletic surfer wearing board shorts and leather flip flops. There were also 3 amazing-looking red off road jeeps parked out front on the highway. I'd stopped my car for a cappuccino next door. (nice cup o' joe) It'd been a long road trip from L.A. on my way to a friend's Whitney Portal cabin.

Here's El Cazador with my 3rd annual review of Jake's Saloon.  Spent two evenings there drinking beers and playing table shuffle board.  Same mellow vibe as the last two years EXCEPT this year the town chain-smokers were present.  The place fills up with smoke all evening.  You smell like you walked through a forest fire the next morning.  Otherwise, same spirit and friendliness.

Awesome Bar in Lone Pine that was happenin' throughout the evening.  

I would love to give this place 5 stars, but their one fault is there is NO hard liquor.  I don't know if this is a town ordinance, or the bar itself, but, either way, you can only get beer and wine here.  But, aside from that, it is fantastic.  Beer was good, crowd was lively, music is playing but is not overbearing so you can still carry on a conversation with people.

The place has a shuffleboard table, two pool tables, ping pong, and a digital dart board.  Everyone was having fun.  The decor is great and divey with a western flair.

If you want a couple drinks and a fun time with your group while in Lone Pine, come here.
