Saloons, Bars & Pubs: The Golden Palace
“Yessir, we’ll take real good care of him. Damned fine looking horse. Reminds me of one I had as a lad back in Ohio. Name of Samson and I’ll tell you, he was fast and high spirited, yessir.
Oh, if you’re looking for a drink and a good time, you get on down to the Golden Palace. Finest place in town and no watered down liquor. Mr. Arlen only has the best shipped in. And speaking of best, his young ladies upstairs are as pretty as any you’ll ever see. Talented, too, if you get what I’m meaning.
Plenty of gambling, if you’ve a mind to. Me, I’ve never had much stomach for risking my hard earned dollars. Poker? Oh, you bet! Mr. Arlen runs a poker game every night, in his back room. $50.00 buy in, just to keep out the riffraff.
You’re lucky to be getting into town on a Tuesday. Come Friday, the miners and cowboys flood in here and things get pretty wild. Damned shame we don’t have a sheriff anymore.
A U.S. Marshall? Well, whatever you’re here for, mister, good luck going up against Mr. Arlen and his boys. Say, those are some strange looking bullets on your belt.
