Rural Ripons Olde Towne Saloon & Steakhouse is on East Highway 120 four miles east of Manteca at North Murphy Road.
By Monica Cane 209 correspondent Way back when in the wild, wild west, bartenders would serve mugs of beer at room temperature or shots of whiskey and other strong drinks to cowboys, miners, trappers, lumberjacks and businessmen who made moseyed into their saloons. A good ole western saloon was the place where locals along with strangers just passing through town took a load off, had a drink and shared stories of adventure. The first saloon was established in Wyoming in 1822 and was quite popular for some time, but now 194 years later, traditional western saloons are somewhat a thing of the past, that is except for the Olde Towne Saloon and Steakhouse located in Ripon which has an atmosphere that manages to keep a bit of the Old West memory alive.
