A man is carrying a barrel of liquor into the Malamute Saloon. A sign indicates it is the first to open in 18 years (due to Prohibition, which ended in 1933). The building is a replica in plaster of the log cabin Malamute Saloon near Fairbanks, Alaska, made famous in a poem by Robert W. Service. The address in the photo is 1916-1918 of an unknown street. A sign above the door indicates real food, good drinks and entertainment is available, plus tables for ladies. The saloon is open from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. and has no cover charge.
