On land expropriated from San Miguel Mission, at the site of an adobe frequented by Frank and Jesse James, the first saloon in San Luis Obispo County opened here on December 5, 1853. In its heyday, the Elkhorn Saloon often earned over $1000 a day serving 10¢ drinks to the insatiable soldiers of Camp Roberts. It was later celebrated for 150 years of continuous patronage by friars, liars, drinkers and thinkers.
