Tasting history at The Gold Pan Saloon & Calamity Jane's Kitchen
"The Gold Pan Saloon and Calamity Jane's Kitchen are now owned by the same person, John. The two businesses now have a connecting door, so they can offer much more to their guests. They offer breakfast through dinner and those wanting a mimosa with their breakfast can get one. The building has so much history! The Gold Pan, I think, has a rugged, Wild West vibe with a full bar and all types of drinks you would like, and Calamity's has a type of Western, chic feel, with every type of caffeinated drink you would like. They have a great patio area and often do live music out their in the summer month. The owner and manger were very hospitable. I enjoyed a yummy club sandwich. Check out The Gold Pan Saloon Facebook for their upcoming events."
