New Owners Bring Odeon Saloon to Next Chapter

The historic Odeon Saloon has new owners and management dedicated to revitalizing the venue and preserving its history. Chris Pattison, along with his managers Jenn Bentley and Spencer Davidson, is excited to continue the legacy of the Odeon Saloon, located on Pike Street in downtown historic Dayton, NV. Permits for liquor and food have been submitted and are awaiting approval. Chris plans to reopen the kitchen to offer "basket" meals, along with Saturday and Sunday brunch. The number of pool tables will be reduced to two: one downstairs in the bar area and the other upstairs. Chris hopes to bring live events and historic talks to the building soon for the community to enjoy, along with occasional entertainment.

Plans are in place to add lawns to the side and back areas of the building, creating outdoor seating and encouraging visitors to enjoy games such as Jenga and cornhole. A gold panning station may be included soon, as Dayton is the site of Nevada's first gold discovery. They are collaborating with a local historian to ensure all upgrades and painting are done accurately. There are hopes of getting the elevator operational again to provide accessibility to the upstairs venue.

Community members are invited to share local history photos of family, events, structures, or anything that represents Dayton's history. A designated wall will showcase these photos; please keep them at 8x10 or smaller.

It may take some time to establish a smooth flow while implementing these changes and additions. Everyone looks forward to creating a fun, historic space for guests to enjoy with family and friends. In the meantime, the venue is available for private parties and events, with the kitchen and bar area available for use.
