The Silver Dollar Club, an iconic bar dating to the Prohibition era in one of Elko's oldest buildings, is closing after 86 years of stories and songs rooted in northeast Nevada's Wild West days.
Sam Horvitz, the club proprietor, told the Elko Daily Free Press he's closing Jan. 30.
The brick building was Elko's first bank, founded in 1880.
It became a "soft drink" parlor during the Prohibition era of the 1920s and opened as a bar when alcohol became legal again in 1933.
In recent years, it has staged music of all genres and "open mic" comedy nights.
