Prescott Guide invites you to experience The Palace on Whiskey Row in Prescott

Prescott Guide invites you to experience all Prescott has to offer as Everybody's Hometown.
Although Whiskey Row is historically famous for its many saloons, The Palace was much more than a fancy "watering hole".  Men came to the Palace to check for notices of work available; it served as an election headquarters for political races. Mineral claims were bought and sold over the bar. Prescott Guide invites you to experience the past and the present at The Palace on Whiskey Row in Prescott.

Past  

The Palace is the oldest frontier saloon in Arizona. It remains the most famous and historic restaurant and saloon in the state. In the late 1800s, Wyatt Earp, his brother Virgil Earp and Doc Holliday were regulars at the Palace. One night, Doc was on a winning streak on Whiskey Row (possibly at The Palace) where he won $10,000 playing poker. Eight months later he joined the Earps in Tombstone and participated in the well-known events that followed.

Because of the its rich, historical heritage, several films included the Palace in their on-location filming. These include “Billy Jack” in 1971 and “Junior Bonner” in 1972.


Present

The Palace hosts a Dinner Theater offering your choice of Bonner’s Prime Rib, Citrus Salmon or Chuckwagon Chicken. You can expect great shows, including tributes to Peter, Paul and Mary, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and Kenny Rogers.

Don’t miss ringing in the New Year with the annual Whiskey Row Boot Drop. A 6-foot illuminated boot is lowered from the Palace building’s flagpole at 10pm and midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Whether you live in beautiful Prescott or are simply visiting, Prescott Guide hopes you will take the time to visit The Palace on Whiskey Row and get a taste of the Old West. For more information please visit http://www.prescottguide.com.

For a long time, the ASHF did not have a permanent home and frequently moved around. But in 2005, it found a permanent home in Prescott.
