Our stone building in the heart of Old Town Dayton has a past that is typical of the Old West. Built in 1860 of stone and timber, it has housed a variety of businesses; a mercantile, several pubs (including the historic Old Corner Bar), restaurants, an ice cream parlor and an auto repair shop.
The Art Deco bar at Js' Bistro was purchased online in 2006. It was commissioned by Schiltz Brewing Co. just after the repeal of Prohibition and built by Brunswick Callan & Co. in 1933.
The bar was designed for 'Lucky Lady' Saloon in the Pulman District of Chicago, a working man's pub owned by Schiltz. It was built of solid Hounduran Mahogany.
The Art Deco bar was shipped from Chicago to Mound House, Nevada in 2006, where it was stored in sections for a year and integrated into the interior design of Js' Bistro during renovation of the building. It has been retrofitted with state of the art refrigeration, lighting and electric systems.
Js' opened December, 2006, proudly displaying it's history of beautiful craftsmanship and design.
