ABOUT
More than a restaurant. More than a bar.
A Deadwood original where history, cocktails, and a few ghost stories all share the same walls.
The Fairmont Hotel
A Deadwood landmark since 1898.
Standing at 628 Main Street, the Fairmont Hotel has been part of downtown Deadwood's story for more than a century. Built in 1898 by Carr and Berry, owners of the nearby Lobby Saloon, the building rose from the ashes of an earlier structure destroyed by fire.
Originally known as the Mansion House, the Fairmont offered amenities that were considered luxurious for its time, including a Turkish bath, plunge bath, and barbershop located in the basement. Advertisements from the early 1900s promoted the hotel as one of the finest in the city, boasting modern rooms, bath facilities, and a bustling saloon. Like many buildings in Deadwood's colorful "Badlands" district, the Fairmont witnessed its share of larger-than-life stories. Police raids uncovered illegal gambling operations in the basement, and during Prohibition, local lore holds that the building operated as a speakeasy.
Ceramic jugs discovered buried beneath the basement floor are said to have been used to conceal alcohol, allowing patrons to enjoy a drink while avoiding unwanted attention from authorities.
