The cafe and bar were opened in April, 1948 by Jean and Gerald Carver on Nevada route 8-A which had just been competed between Round Mountain and US 50 to the north.

Today, thanks to the nearby Round Mountain Gold mine, it has become a small community with a motel, bars, service stations, a small shopping center, trailer parks, church and other services."
