Sagebrush Saloons

It only makes sense that Nevada’s oldest saloon is in its oldest town. You’ll find this beautiful brick structure nestled amid a grove of trees on Genoa’s historic main street. The building that houses the Genoa Bar was constructed in 1853 and has operated as a thirst parlor for more than a century and a half.

Once inside, grab a cold one and check out the wonderful and often whimsical artifacts covering the bar’s interior. Amid the risqué oil paintings, you’ll find colorful relics including an American flag from 1851, a wanted poster for Lincoln’s assassins, Willie Nelson’s hat, and Raquel Welch’s bra (ask around for that story). The grand jewel of the Genoa Bar and Saloon’s collection is the large diamond-dustcoated mirror that graces the back of the bar. Imported from Scotland in the late 1840s, this treasure is believed to be one of the last of its kind.
