Okay, this place is not your young hipster, trendy wine bar...or martini bar. Â It is a funky and wonderful old bar with lots of locals and a genuine bartender who talks and has fun with his customers. Â An occasional dog wanders in with it's person. Â The crowd is loud and fun and friendly.
We watched two games simultaneously, the Lakers and the Giants on the TVs above the bar... much fun with everyone joining in.
The beers were fine.
There are two or three pool tables and a big old stove for winter nights. Â It's damned cool.
Hot Damn, I'm first to review this place. I can hardly believe it since the Old Western Saloon is just about the cutest little old fashioned bar in Point Reyes Station. Old timey and such, I loved it at first sight.
We planned out our day of Oysters and fun, seeing the beaches and eating out in fun quaint little places around Point Reyes on New Year's Day. I decided it was going to be the best day of the year and it WAS.
We were greeted by the nicest barkeeper. We ordered two draft beers, the Lagunitas IPA and the Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale. Refreshing. The Service was great and we talked about where we were from and how we found ourselves here.
I told them I saw it on yelp and she asked if I saw the pic of the horse coming out of the bar. I had not, there were no reviews either, so I looked it up and posted it for all of you to see. It's part of the charm you find at the Old Western and needs to be represented.
You should also know that the Old Western is not too country for Royalty either. Prince Charles and Camilla stopped in to possibly have a drink and take the photo opp.
The place is filled with charm and a fun little spot to stop off on your way to Oysters or Cowgirl Creamery. This town is just filled with goodies.
