"Located above the Deadwood Winery. This Shared "converted bank" building with food 🍺/🍷 downstairs. The downstairs separate bar area is a very nice spot to grab a drink while you wait till 5pm when the Elk's opens their doors. I was told that lodge #508 opened back in 1886 & Sol Star was the 1st ER of this lodge. Spacious and overlooking Main St. & Deadwood. Only open a few days per week, from 5pm till 10. I imbibed a few libations, had a chat with the members for about an hour at which point I went to meet my lady to to watch The Deadwood Live show that starts @6pm just outside on Main St."
