I, along with two girlfriends, just spent this past weekend in Virginia City. And, thanks to "The Bucket", we had such a blast! They had live music on both Friday and Saturday night- the Road Daddy's were fantastic! The owners of the bar were so friendly and a lot of fun! They make THE BEST bloody mary's around! Also, on... more

Loved the Bucket of Blood Saloon! It was so cool to step back in time! Everyone, besides the visitors, was dressed like old cowboys! Spurs, guns, hats and chaps! This was the place to be - it was the busiest place in Virginia City! They had a band playing and everyone was dancing and drinking and laughing! Had a great... more

Tom, Carol and I happened to stumble into The Bucket of Blood Saloon one Saturday afternoon for just 1 beer. A few hours later and a few beers later we were walking out. What a blast. The Comstock Cowboy's were playing and everybody was dressed in period costumes. We couldn't stop talking about the place. This was our 3rd visit... more

I was there on July 4, 2006 to have a beer with a friend following Virginia City's Independence Day parade. Six beers later (each...ouch), we stumbled out into the Nevada (by the way, it's pronounced "Nevaaaada," not "Nevodda") sunshine laughing so hard we were crying. The place that day was full of men and women in period costume: sheriffs with... more

We spent a Sunday afternoon there in May '03 while the Comstock Cowboys were playing. The locals were dressed in 19th century cowboy attire and the music was the best. We listened to the band and drank all afternoon while enjoying the hospitality of the saloon owner. It was very unusual and exciting; you must visit this place. more
