Liars' Bench
Placerville's bars are akin to the neighborhood watering holes in the Midwest: they open at 06:00, get an annual cleaning at Christmas and are great for people who want to soak up local color. The Liars' Bench has a classic old martini sign beckoning like a neon siren.

Hangman Tree
Placerville's bars are akin to the neighborhood watering holes in the Midwest: they open at 06:00, get an annual cleaning at Christmas and are great for people who want to soak up local color. Marked by vintage signs, the Hangman Tree is built over the stump of the eponymous tree, and the Liars' Bench.

Nevada Theater
This is one of California's first theaters (1865) and has welcomed the likes of Jack London and Mark Twain to its stage. Now it's used for productions of the very good and prolific Foothill Theater Company, as well as off-beat movie screenings.

Shanghai Bar
In Old Town, the Shanghai Bar has been in operation since 1912, right through the Depression and Prohibition. It's a worthy place that wears its past like a fine patina and there's much to ponder.

Iron Horse Lounge
The most elaborate of the traditional old taverns in the center; bottles glitter like gold on the backlit bar. The Sonora Days Inn bar is a local institution.
