In its heyday, the Under-The-Hill historic district was a melting pot for criminals, so it should come as no surprise that the saloon’s past customers included prostitutes and thieves.

Throughout the years, the building has served many purposes. Before becoming a bar, it was used as a brothel, warehouse, and general store. Today, it’s a bar that’s popular among locals and tourists alike.
