Rumor has it that this antique 12-foot Brunswick-Balke-Collender bar traveled around Cape Horn sometime between 1860 and the late 1880's in a sailing ship and was installed in downtown SLO's Cosmopolitan/St. James Hotel before Paul Merrick brought it to the Saloon in the late 1960s. While we may not be certain about the origin of this fine piece, we do know one thing—that it's not going anywhere! ⁠

From the Santa Margarita Historical Society archives: The Pozo Hotel (circa 1879) ⁠
⁠
"As a Butterfield Stage Mail stop on the way to the Central Valley, Pozo had many amenities, including two stores, this hotel, blacksmith shops, a school, a post office, and a saloon. The town of Pozo slowly shrank to what it is today: a few houses, the saloon, and a U.S. Forestry guard station."
