| On my November 2007 visit this place was looking more like the Last Chance Saloon. The signage has been removed as have most of the interior furnishings. There was no indication as to whether it is closing completely or is to be refurbished but if anyone finds out, please post an update. Millay - 21 Nov 2007 12:22 |
| Located in the Neonopolis area on Freemont St just at the end of the canopy, the Saloon has distinct eating and drinking areas and both seem popular. With a long curved frontage and outside seating it is ideal for people watching and there is plenty of opportunity on the vibrant Freemont St, especially in the evenings when the laser show is on. They have regular special offers and music at weekends. Allegedly this is one of Mayor Oscar Goodman's favourite bars. Service is friendly and efficient although watching an American barman trying to pour a Guinness is normally enough to make me want to cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of war. What is it about these guys, ask them for any ridiculously named cocktail, medium tending towards dry, on the rocks, over easy, lightly shaken with a double twist and backward pike, hold all the crap that usually goes on top, and they'll set to work with the type of flowing efficient artistry not seen since Torvill & Dean performed Bolero in the 1984 Olympics. But can they pour a Guinness? can they fairycakes!! That 'tick follows tock' advert should be compulsory viewing at every American Bar School. Anyway, off my soapbox, the food is fairly good, I can recommend the tuna melt and overall the Saloon is a good place to spend some time if you are looking for a friendly bar with a local feel in what is overtly a tourist area. Just don't ask for Guinness !! Millay - 7 Jun 2005 17:50 |
