Genoa Bar

The people that work there were happy and it seems to rub off on everyone in the bar. It's Dark and Smokey with various memorabilia on every wall, Patsy Cline playing on the Jukebox sets the mood. They have a fully stocked Bar, Pool Table, Video Poker, and Gambling machines; plus a wood burning stove, friendly bartender, and fun local patrons made for a perfect setting! A number of movies have been filmed here including "The Shootist" with John Wayne, "Charley Varrick" with Walter Mathau and Joe Don Baker, "Honky Tonk Man" with Clint Eastwood, "Misery" with James Cann, Kathy Bates, Rob Reiner and Richard Farnsworth, and most recently, (last summer) "Till the River Runs Dry" starring Ann-Margaret. There have been a lot of "high old times" within these walls over the years and that tradition continues to this day. When the weather is warm, impromptu "porch parties" happen and there can be dancing in the streets. On cold winter evenings when the snow is falling, nothing beats the wood stove and good friends for a couple of hours. I continue to be a "drinking establishment" notwithstanding the pool table and jukebox -I'm proud that our lady friends feel comfortable and safe here -I watch out for everyone in this little corner of history. I'm delighted that you stopped by to share your time with me!
