Food scene
The longest continually-running bar in the U.S. (stayed open during prohibition), the Shooting Star Saloon is a must-visit. They serve cold beer and delicious picnic-style burgers. The jukebox only plays old country songs and the bar only takes cash (but there is an ATM). Check out this article about it: https://vinepair.com/articles/oldest-saloon-photos-america/
