Before there was a hotel, there was a bar. In 1852, thousands of thirsty prospectors filled their glasses at the original Golden Gate Saloon. Our favorite watering hole has always been tenacious and inventive: after Grass Valley was destroyed by a fire in 1855, the original owners quickly adapted and sold whiskey and beer to loyal customers from a tent among the rubble the next day.
