History tells us that we owe Mr Jack Daniels a credit for the Red Dog Saloon name. When he opened his first bar in Tennessee in1892 under this very title, he created a landmark moment in the hospitality industry.. . There are now, inevitably, several drinking establishments dotted across the world also called the “Red Dog Saloon”. Its name evokes imagery of a somewhat unrefined clientele drinking Jack Daniels without much of a care to the outside world.

The Red Dog Saloon in Pioneertown, California has everything we look for in a wild west bar: its long and basic interior serves as a dusty stage for characters out of the pages of a story book. What it lacks in sophistication, it more than makes up for in its final frontier desert vibe. The Red Dog is exactly what it says on the label.. . It’s a commitment of time to get to this joint, which is why most of the clientele commit a further allocation of time when they arrive. This is not a place for amateurs.
