Deadwood
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Deadwood, South Dakota
Deadwood's bar scene trades directly on its Wild West gold-rush history - Wild Bill Hickok was famously shot while playing poker in a Deadwood saloon in 1876, and the Old Style Saloon No. 10, still operating today and listed in BarFinder's 33 Deadwood venues, claims a direct line to that history. Legalized gambling since 1989 has kept the saloon culture alive alongside newer spots like Jacobs Brewhouse Restaurant and Belle Joli Winery Tasting Room. Few towns this size wear their saloon-town history as visibly as Deadwood.
