St. Charles Place - Downieville (CA)

4 /5 Jennifer Hoglund: Stopped in at St. Charles Place for a couple drinks while we enjoyed the day exploring Downieville. The old building was very cool. Lots of vintage decor still around. The place was clean and the bartender was friendly and attentive. I believe there are some tables out back on a riverside patio, but I didnt make it out there.

3 /5 A Zeiger: Fun little country bar. We played pool most of the night but some guy tried to take the dont tread on me flag down and everyone got mad. We all thought it was awesome but you cant expect much from a town like this, definitely a blast from the past vibe. Cute buildings around, good back patio, and the beers on tap were a good selection. No food which was kind of a bummer since nowhere else in town seemed to be open. For sure a good people watching place.

5 /5 Ron Jordan: Its the only hot night spot in downieville. Cool bar in a building from the mid 1800s. Low prices and great atmosphere.

5 /5 matt morris: Small Town bar with great drink prices. Pool table and a decent amount of space.

4 /5 David Russell: Not a bad place for a mountain, gold mining town in California. They have a pretty good selection of different kinds of craft beers and the regulars for the lawn mower beer crowd. They dont serve food but then again they are way up in the Sierra mountains in California And there are a couple of places locally to buy food. Definitely worth the stay and the visit. Make sure to visit the local newspaper called the mountain messenger, owned and run by a guy named Don Russell. Hes a local bum that doesnt let truth get in the way of a good story but definitely worth introducing yourself to. He hangs out at the St Charles place on Thursday nights during happy hour. After running his paper route to deliver his newspapers he can be found drinking gin and tonic at the St Charles. Hes a great guy but hes a bum.
