What is a "saloon"?

A saloon is a historic-style drinking establishment, reminiscent of the Old West, known for its lively and social atmosphere. During the 19th century, saloons were gathering places for cowboys and miners, providing them with a space to socialize, gamble, and unwind after a hard day's work. These venues typically feature rustic or vintage décor with wooden furnishings, a long bar counter, and often swinging doors. Saloons serve a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, including beers, whiskeys, and cocktails, and may also offer simple food items such as sandwiches, burgers, and bar snacks. The vibe is usually casual and friendly, with people gathering to drink, socialize, and sometimes enjoy entertainment like live music or dancing.
