Golden Nugget Tavern
Part of your setup at the "World Famous" Golden Nugget Tavern could include a shuffleboard game piece, or a billiards stick if you prefer. The Nugget, at 2617 N. First Ave., opened in 1965. Here's what the Star wrote about it in 2004: "There are many words of wisdom at the Golden Nugget Tavern. You just won't find many of them unless you go to the bathroom. The wall scrawls, like the patrons, are diverse. ... Like the random doctor's scale next to the jukebox, some (other features) are inexplicable."
