Two men with long white beards sit on the wooden bar in a saloon in Breckenridge, Colorado. One holds a cane and one holds a corncob pipe. The backbar pediment has carving and spindlework; bunting is tacked to the mirror border. A cash register and metal sculpture of a swordsman are on it, and flowered wallpaper is reflected in it. An electric lamp is mounted on the back bar, and other shaded, bare bulbs hang from the ceiling. To the right of the bar are an open cabinet with bottles and a sign reading: "cherry bounce" an open wire light switch, and a gilt framed painting. Fringed towels hang from the bar.
