Bug Bar
Tonopah’s iconic Bug Bar sits high above the town’s main street, which is why its nickname is “The Bar on the Brink.” It was named after Jim Butler’s Humbug Mine, and the bar actually sits on the tailings of the mine. Have a nice, cold beer or delicious cocktail while you ruminate over how much ore you might be sitting on. In the summer, sit on the patio and “have a brew with a view,” as the bartender likes to say.

Diamond Inn Bar
Established in 1951, the Diamond Inn Bar offers shuffleboard, cards, a pool table, and bar dice for the perfect stop in remote northwestern Nevada. This is a picture-perfect bar scene, so expect a dollar-bill-covered ceiling, a satisfying lineup of bottled beers, and—of course—all kinds of tasty treats right off the grill.
Dirty Dick's Belmont Saloon
This watering hole is remote, and there’s no number to call to make sure they’re open (your best bet is Friday and Saturday during the summer). That said, this sequestered saloon’s setting in a living ghost town makes for an unforgettable experience. Order up a Picon Punch or their famous Bloody Mary, and if you’re lucky, you’ll enjoy your libation alongside live music or a shuffleboard tournament.

Eureka Owl Club
