This is the greatest place to go if you want to have a relaxing time and feel welcome from everyone when you walk through the door. Â My sister lives in Roseville and every time I visit her we make it a point to head to the Tavern.
We met some very nice people from Mike the owner and his wife, to Buck, John, Eric,
Sandra and more. Â Thank you all for welcoming us into you little Family. Â Can't wait to come back!!

Ultimate dive of dives. Â We stopped outside to take a picture on our way back to Lake Minden campgrounds, and the owner and one of the customers opened the door yelling "come on in!" Â We could not refuse, and ended up staying for 2 drinks and lots of conversation.
Simple cinderblock building, one pool table, a few tables, maybe some area out back (we didnt' check). Very cold beer, but only bottles (no tap). Â Extremely basic liquor selection.
While there, we learned:
- the owner bought the bar 7 years ago, and his wife brings him dinner there every day
- Nicolaus used to be a major stop on the way down Hwy 90, but when the town flooded out in the 50's the Hwy was rebuilt several miles away, bypassing Nicolaus and bringing the local economy to a halt
- Nicolaus used to be a cow-milkin' town (by hand!)
- the owner and customers love guns & hunting
We'll definitely go back.
