1861 Saloon - Ranson

My husband and I stopped after leaving the casino. The music was so loud, we left after a beer.

Cody brings this place to life! Best bartender in town and the best margarita you could ever ask for. 10/10

Too bad there 's not a zero star. The bartenders allowed a regular customer to pull a knife (knowingly) on me. Then banned me and allowed them to keep drinking there. Definitely not a safe place to have a good time any more.

Popped in here on a whim on a Friday night after dinner. It's a hole in a wall joint right next to Hollywood Casino. We've seen it several times and there are always lots of cars parked out front. Since it's located in Jefferson County and there are slot machines inside, you have to be 21+ to enter and they allow smoking inside. They have corn hole boards setup inside, a pool table, and slot machines as well as a decent sized FULL bar. They serve food, although we didn't eat or look at the menu. They have a jukebox available to play. The bartenders were SUPER nice and very welcoming. The prices are GREAT especially on Fridays for ladies night. We had a great time chatting with the locals it's a laid back, no judgement zone, chill atmosphere. We would definitely go back!

Stopped while on vacation. Only 2 people there including bartender. They seemed to not want anyone else around. (Maybe because I wasn't from the area.
