Yucca Valley CA
Short and sweet, just like my favorite Yucca Valley spots.
The Red Dog Saloon (eat)
A visit to The Red Dog Saloon feels like stepping back in time when townsfolk gathered at the local saloon—sometimes even on horseback. You might still spot a rider stopping in for a drink and some top-notch Mexican fare—brisket tacos, queso, and margaritas. If you're lucky, a live band will be setting the mood. Before you go, grab a t-shirt—you'll want a keepsake from this unforgettable experience.
The Copper Room (eat)
Stepping into The Cooper Room feels like returning to your best friend's basement—paneled walls, orange couches, and great tunes setting the vibe. Life was easy then, and while it may not be now, a craft cocktail and delicious food at the bar will certainly help. Plus, with the restaurant sitting on a working runway, you might even catch a plane landing.
