I've been in a few establishments that offered shuttle service but nothing quite like that. Appears the donkey is having a drink as well.

That's what we call a short beer. I notice there are no spittoons? My wife has a collection of small Victorian ladies glass spittoons they would hold in their laps.

I'm enjoying this pic, Jake. I'll bet these doors are to the icebox. Before refrigeration most commercial iceboxes were made from Oak with tin liners. The most expensive models had thick glass windows in the doors so you could see what you were looking for before opening the doors & losing the cool air.

• The bars were often the first establishments to open up in the frontier boomtowns of the American West
• Their clientele would feature a mix of cowboys, miners, fur trappers and gun-toting gamblers
• 
• Two drinks of hard liquor could be bought for a quarter - but often cut with ammonia or even gunpowder
• The vice and violence of saloons became so notorious an 'Anti-Saloon League' was formed in 1893
