Short Branch Saloon

Bring cash they don't take cards.There have been more than a few movies filmed here.Friendly placeBout all that's left open out here now

Great spot in middle of desert. Little town of Crystal. 23,000 square feet indoor/ outdoor. Entertainment every full moon. Food is what Beertender Cathy wants u to eat and u will love it.

Definitely located in the middle of nowhere in the beautiful Nevada desert. Popped in yesterday after discovering that nearby Sugar's Shack went out of business. Sigh!! :-(((Looks like a fun place to hang out during cooler months, especially with the awesome outdoor seating area. Decent burger with no fries available. Friendly service provided by Kathy the owner. The beer selection wasn't for me, so I don't have much reason to come back again, unless of course, they decided to carry some Guinness or Blue Moon or I bring my own.

I've been out here several times. This is another one of those out of the way bars that I love so much. This one is really out of the way. Be sure to check out there facebook page https://www.facebook.com/misskathysshortbranch All the photos will give you an idea of what the place is like.Unfortunately this one is way out past Pahrump so it's so far out of the way from me that I rarely get a chance to visit it.I do recall they had some really cheap motel rooms. I stayed there one night myself. Don't expect a lot from them but it's better than driving back to town drunk.

Fun, friendly spot. Miss Kathy introduces all the customers to each other, $4 rum & cokes.

Apparently Miss Kathy (the proprietor) is known for her meatloaf. We arrived to find ourselves in the middle of a private birthday party complete with clowns. Instead of the meatloaf, Kathy offered offered us tri tip, super cheesy mashed potatoes and a roll for $6. That was a good deal! They have a standard selection of domestic beers for $3. Overall the staff was very friendly and I would say this is a good place to stop on your way to Pahrump or south Las Vegas.Side note: guess I entered in the address wrong, well there is no actuall address, it's just located at the end of Ranch Road in Crystal, not Pahrump as the listing displays...sorry.

Miss Kathy's Short Branch is a destination for bikers, explorers , car & bike enthusiasts or just the weary traveler in search of a cold drink and a smile. It's not on most maps, but when you find it, you'll long to go back. Daily specials, great food (no menu, but Kathy's always got something cookin). No TV ( with the exception of old dvds playing occasionally), and no wi-fi (still get good cell service with most carriers) Just a good ol' fashioned watering hole with Kathy's beautiful smile and always sure to make a new friend. AND the bloody mary's are delish!

Where the hell is Crystal, Nevada? Well, you take Hwy 95 north out of Las Vegas until you get to the 160 turnoff to Pahrump. At mile marker 7 you'll see the sign directing you to Crystal. Don't blink or you'll miss it. Why the hell would you want to go there? Because it's home to Miss Kathy's Short Branch Saloon, just about the friendliest, most laid-back little tavern you'd ever hope to find in the middle of nowhere. Miss Kathy runs the place and she is a true unabashed and uncensored hoot. Just sit back, relax and let her talk; her stories will keep you entertained for hours.The bar is full service, but the food menu is limited: hot dogs (big ones) and homemade meatloaf are the daily fare. Kathy's meatloaf is famous and served most any way you can think of. There's a menu on the wall that lists some options, but don't be afraid to order up your own combination. Kathy even offers an individual size meatloaf pizza that I especially like. Some weekends she puts out a small buffet of homemade BBQ, beans, potato salad, etc. if there's a special event going on. Reservations can be made for extra thick grill-'em-yourself steaks if you want to have a little private party of your own.The Short Branch is popular with the biker crowd and also the horsey set, with several planned events throughout the year. Live entertainment is often provided at these events. My wife and I have been going to the Short Branch for several years now and we've introduced a number of our local friends to Kathy's place, as well as most out-of-town visitors we get. None of them have been disappointed. The Short Branch is a great getaway from crowds in Las Vegas and we love to just hang out there and enjoy Miss Kathy and her meatloaf.

No longer open due to circumstances beyond the owners control. I really enjoyed my time there. Such a sad shame.

Good drinks, good food, great service. Food is whatever she's cooking that day, but it is made with love. Swing by
