Discover more about Whiskey Row Alley

Whiskey Row Alley, nestled in the heart of Prescott, Arizona, is a captivating step back into the town's storied past. Emerging shortly after Prescott's founding in 1864, this area quickly became the hub of recreation, famously packed with saloons that catered to miners, cowboys, and other characters of the Old West. At one point, over 40 saloons stood side-by-side, offering whiskey, meals, poker games, and more.

Today, while the saloons remain a draw, Whiskey Row Alley also features art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. The alley preserves its historic charm with red brick buildings, wooden staircases, and wrought iron details. Visitors can still experience the atmosphere of the Old West while enjoying modern amenities. Highlights of Whiskey Row Alley include the Palace Restaurant and Saloon, Arizona's oldest saloon, which hosted famous figures like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Annual events, like the New Year's Eve Whiskey Row Boot Drop and the World's Oldest Rodeo, add to the area's appeal.
