An oasis for those that are hungry, thirsty and in need of a room or fuel, this old time western saloon and grill has it all. Built in 1857, Middlegate is a former Overland Stage stop on the fabled Pony Express route through the Nevada desert. Situated on "Nevada Highway 50, the loneliest highway in America" with no other service for at least fifty miles. They are famous for their hamburgers and Saturday night prime rib, they draw huge crowds from local ranchers, miners, truckers and travelers. They also host crazy events like the Biker BBQ in winter and the Dildo Races in the summer. It is always an enjoyable stop for us returning from California just to see the relics and enjoy a cold one.

Pretty nice Jederick. I've travelled Hwy 50 a couple of times. Missed the dildo races. And if you've had bad luck at all the Nevada gambling places you can stock up on dollar bills if you are really stealthy.

I imaged more than one drink has been pilfered off that ceiling, Chief...if they caught you, you'd be back cleaning latrines!!

Great visual tour, Jederick! That place is 100% rustic charm. It doesn't look like a great place to dine but looks can be very deceiving.

It is one of those "who woulda thought" gin joints that has managed to stick it out in the lonesome western hills of Nevada!!

Very interesting - nice to see places I'll never be able to visit in person especially such unusual ones. Really good photos. Thanks Mate.
