The Joint

If you find yourself in this little ghost town known as Randsburg, my new place to escape and dwell in quiet town filled with stories, history and GHOST and The Joint. A bar within the small town which it's population is less than 80. More people live on my neighborhood  than what this quaint little town has.  Regardless, it's not hipster crap,people trying to out cool each other. It's just regular folk with some stories to tell.

The drinks are stiff - cheap - and you may get a stare or two from the regulars but they warm up to you. I love this town and it is worth the drive to check out. YES, there is lodging as well. You can rent homes or stay in a hotel here. My friends own a vacation home here which is the perfect artist retreat!

The Joint is open Thursday through Sunday and is usually host to a string of locals and tourists who are in town for the weekend to ride their ATVs and dirtbikes, or just traveling through on their way to Death Valley. We've run into people from all around the world here, as well as shared rounds with friends from town.

Their prices are fair and if you're a penny pincher, they have a happy hour from when they open to late afternoon. If you're from out of town and it's passed 8pm or 9pm, you might want to call ahead to make sure they're still open, because evening hours tend to fluctuate.

Been here twice so far, love to stop in here for a cold one after a day of riding dirtbikes...This is a pretty cool little bar ran by Bernadette, It was ran by Olga for many years, but she passed away recently, now Bernadette, her daughter runs it. Sometimes you are the only people in there, other times it can get pretty busy. Bernadette is very friendly, and happy to tell you the history of the bar, as well as the area.  No kitchen here, but you can order food at the general store down the street, walk back to the joint, and the people at the general store will bring it to you when it is ready...kinda cool since the food there is better than the food at the White House Saloon. I come out to the desert to ride a lot, and almost always make the 40 mile round trip to Randsburg and back, this is a place I will be frequenting more in the future.
