Synopsis
A look at how the American saloon has evolved, from the mining camps of the 19th century, to speakeasies of the Prohibition 1920s, to today's computerized bars. The program reveals what it took to create the elaborate carved bars, the purpose of the brass foot-rail, the impact of refrigerated railroad cars on the saloon's beer supply and the transformational power of a simple bottle cap.
