Virginia City is one of those places in Nevada that you have to see to believe. Walking down the town’s boardwalks, you’ll really feel as if you’ve been transported to the Wild West. Old timey saloons and quaint shops fill the main street. You could seriously spend days exploring all there is to see! However, a must-stop destination is this incredible steakhouse which happens to be located in an old cider factory. Not only is the food to die for but the atmosphere is unlike anywhere you’ve dined before. You’ll remember this dining experience for a long, long time. That’s for sure.
Back in the 19th century, Virginia City was a whole different world. Gunfights, mining accidents, and general rowdiness riddled these very streets which so many Nevadans visit every day. However, there are still plenty of places around town where you can still get a taste of the Wild West.
The Cider Factory is adequately named for the factory that could be found in this very building after it was constructed in 1863. Tucked away in Edith Palmer's Country Inn, this place would manufacture cider and vinegar for the Comstock back in the day.
Today, it is home to a lovely little restaurant and bar. It's considered a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of C Street. Unique eccentricities greet visitors right away, like a giant wall of wine bottles for example.
You'll feel as if you've been transported to a different century as soon as you sit down. Beautiful stone walls surround you in the main dining room which was actually the original cider factory. There's a lot of history in these walls. For example, the fireplace is composed of stones that were collected nearby in the Nevada hills.
The Cider Factory serves a variety of hearty American food with a little bit of Italian influence. Start off your night by indulging in whole cloves of roasted garlic smeared across slices of grilled baguette.
On the menu you'll find a delicious assortment of entrees ranging from pasta (Clams and linguine, shrimp scampi, etc.) to chicken (chicken marsala, chicken piccata, or chicken saltimbocca). However, the steak might be the most popular option and deservedly so. Is your mouth watering yet?
The Cider Factory offers something to guests that you don't get to see very often—delicious food served in a historic and beautiful atmosphere. The days of the Old West may be long gone but places like this one will keep them alive for the duration of your meal.
You'll find Cider Factory located at 420 B St, Virginia City, NV 89440.
Doesn’t this old steakhouse look amazing? There is certainly no shortage of unique places to eat in the Silver State. If you thought this place was one-of-a-kind, just wait until you see this steakhouse located in an old jailhouse!
