Miners Lounge — Restaurant in Angels Camp

We enjoyed the Miners Lounge a year ago when in town and decided to go back last night. The location is ideal - right in old town you feel like you are stepping back in time. From the main street you go down some stairs into an underground lounge. Last year there was a line dancing class occurring in the banquet hall. Last night there was live music and the atmosphere was hopping. The furnishings of the lounge is nicely down, there is a fireplace and many televisions if you are interested in catching a game. Lately, I have been reminiscing about cocktails I enjoyed in the 80's and 90's. I asked the bartender if he knew what a B52 was - he did. I mentioned the alcohol was layered in a shot glass.

My wife and I have been coming to Angels Camp for over 40 years. In 1981 we came to town for a Kenny Rankin show at a bar called Raspberries. After the bar closed down we stopped looking for it and just figured it was turned into something else.
