LUCKY SPUR SALOON Kingston
Located some 36 minutes south of Austin, a large windmill marks the site of the Lucky Spur Saloon in Kingston. Get ready to be blown away by the view from the bar counter overlooking the spectacular Big Smoky Valley. The decor features dozens of antique spurs hanging from every windowsill and chandelier, and it’s easy to make conversation with the locals here. They’ll more than likely tell you everything you want to know about the area: nearby fishing and camping, the pictograph-adorned Toquima Cave, Austin turquoise shops, and local hot springs.
TRAVEL NEVADA PRO TIP
Oh, and although this goes without saying: always sip—and adventure—responsibly.
