Duarte's Tavern

In the 1890’s, Pescadero was known as a resort town with two hotels and two saloons. One hundred years later, one saloon still operated: Duarte’s Tavern, run by the third and fourth generation of the Duarte family. In the 1890’s, Frank Duarte brought a barrel of whiskey from Santa Cruz and set up the bar, where the price was ten cents for one whiskey and two bits for three. Business thrived until Prohibition. In 1934, Duarte’s reopened and expanded with the restaurant. Although the original building burned down in 1926, the bar was saved and is still in use today.
