    Gilded Garter Saloon Central City Colorado Beer Stein Mug Bob Dylan Interest Vtg.
    Wow! Great mug! The Gilded Garter Saloon was an iconic bar in Central City Colorado for decades. It was notable for a very early folk performance from Bob Dylan. He was not well received. I think to this day he says it is the worst gig he ever played.  I am told this mug dates to that era.
    "Sophia St. John ran the Gilded Garter (now the closed Doc Holliday Casino), located in the Harris Block on Main Street in Central City, a former Gold Rush town established in 1859 in the mountains west of Denver. Built in 1890 by Ed Harris, the Harris Block building first contained a mortuary in 1891, and a second floor was added in 1897. The building later functioned as the Adler Hotel. After World War II, a board-and-batten false front was installed, and the Gilded Garter was born.
    Described by Dylan as a strip joint (Shelton), a description possibly influenced by the paintings of nude women on the walls, the Gilded Garter was actually a noisy tourist bar in a tourist town. Dylan performed between the “strip acts,” describing the situation thusly: “As the night got longer, the air got heavier, the audience got drunker and nastier and then I got sicker and finally I got fired.”  Dylan elaborated on his time in Central City while visiting the town during a concert stop in 1966: “When I first went up here, Central City seemed so far from anything I'd ever seen or done before, it was sort of magic for me.” Shelton and Dylan walked down the streets while Bob reminisced about his time there. “Oh, it only lasted a few weeks, but I suppose I'll never forget it,” Shelton quotes Dylan as saying. He continued, “They paid me very little, but they threw in sandwiches and drinks, and all the strippers I could watch. All the noisy drunks were thrown in free, too. The time has gone so fast. It almost seems like it happened to someone else.”"
