2011-02-21T07:10:00.000-08:00

We're setting aside Saturday, March 12, 2011 for a fun winter ride. We have no idea what the weather will be so be prepared for anything.

For more information call Dawn at 775-487-2304.

WHERE DID THE SUMMER GO????

2010-10-25T07:33:00.000-07:00

The summer flew by, didn't it? We had a great "GET 'R DONE" poker run the first part of July and everyone had a great time. Chris Bramwell bought out his Trailside Kitchen and provided a wonderful meal for over 200 people. The Nye County Search & Rescue were there to help out, and as always, we had great help to get through the event.

Our "END OF SUMMER" poker run was a great success and we hope it will be even bigger and better next year. We were able to give just over $3,000.00 to the Tonopah Memorial Scholarship Fund. The raffle ticket sales were a big part of that. A big thanks to Bill Dowers and his family for all their help to make this one the success it was.

MANHATTAN BEATS BELMONT 33-20. Our 2nd annual baseball game played in Belmont this year. It doesn't get any more humorous than this. To start with, we couldn't have asked for better weather and we had no serious injuries this year. We must be getting better, or luck played a hand in things. Manhattan gets to keep the trophy bat with a winning score of 33 to 20. After the game we all gathered at the Belmont Inn for a BBQ and some horseshoes. Was a truly great day. Collected $97.00 on the toll road. That money was donated to the 4th of July Kids Events in Belmont for next summer. Thanks to all who played along with that.

JULY 31 CAMPING TRIP

2010-06-14T07:19:00.000-07:00

We're going camping!!! Weekend of July 31 we're going to camp out at Barley Creek and do some riding. It is a bring your own meat to bar-b-q and we'll be bringing everything to go with it. We are starting a list and have to cut it off at 30 people so call or email us if you want to join us. Should be tons of fun!! Nothing better than cooking out and then sitting around a big campfire. Cowboy TV, my favorite!

"READY FOR A CHALLENGE" ATV RIDE

2010-06-14T07:12:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at our "Ready for a challange" ride! Would have been nice if the weather was better. Just when we thought summer was here, it was quite cool and windy. That didn't stop our riders though! Then it was back to the Manhattan Bar for some chow and a little party. We had a birthday party going on for Jesse Romans, a Manhattan resident. So all in all it was quite a fun day. Sorry no pictures this trip.

SUMMER SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

2010-05-11T08:11:00.000-07:00

MEMORIAL WEEKEND, May 29 - May 31 SATURDAY May 29 will be the horseshoe tournament. These tournaments are always a lot of fun. SUNDAY kicks off with a parade that anyone is welcome to be in at 10:00 am. Immediately following the parade we will start our Memorial Weekend ATV poker run. $25.00 gets you a great ride and dinner to boot! After the ride we have a wonderful deep pit Bar-B-Q with beef and pork that will melt in your mouth. Come join us for all the activities.

SATURDAY JUNE 12- We have planned an "EXPERIENCED" RIDERS RIDE. We say "experienced"  because if you haven't done much riding some of this will be difficult for you and we don't want to take any chances on anyone having problems with the ride. There are deep ravines with some good sized rocks and some spots with a little side hill riding. It isn't super tough, but it isn't for the novice rider. Keep us posted for more details on this ride.

SATURDAY,   JULY 17 - GET'R DONE POKER RUN  10:00am This is the annual big poker run to benefit the Nye County Search & Rescue and the Boy Scouts. You all know this run and have been enjoying it for several years. The date has been moved up 2 weeks is all. There will be the usual great ride starting in Manhattan at our very own Manhattan Bar and will be going through Belmont. This is a not to be missed event and we hope to see as many turn out for it now that John & I have taken it over as there always was for Scott and Jennifer Rogers. They made it the "not to be missed" event that is has become. $25.00 gets you a great ride and lots of fun and dinner too.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND, September 4 - 6, - On SATURDAY, Manhattan Bar's own "END OF SUMMER" POKER RUN.  10:00am This is to benefit the TONOPAH MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND. This will be our 1st annual run and we are hoping to make it bigger and better than last year. This is also a great cause and we hope you will all come out to join us for this one. $25.00 gets you a great ride with a lot of good people and dinner after the ride. I'm sure there will be a few people throwing horseshoes too. I'm guessing there will be lots of music and dancing for those that are interested later in the evening.
We will ge raffling off 3 gift certificates. Tickets just $5.00 each.
1st    $500.00 gift certificate for Scheels
2nd: $250.00 gift certificate for Cabelas
3rd   $100.00 gift certificate for Scheels

These are the scheduled events. We are also looking at an "organized" camping trip up Barley Creek some time in June. That is if we can get in there. We are planning a big Bar-B-Q and some ATV riding. We don't have all the details in order yet but keep us posted for updates. If we don't get some better weather we may have to move it to July.

We hope to see all of you for our super bowl party. We will once again have a great time. Food, drink, football boards, super bowl commercials. What more could you ask for.

ANNIVERSARY PARTY WITH PEAVINE PICKERS

2010-01-21T08:26:00.000-08:00

Can't believe it has already been a year since we had our grand opening. What a year it has been thanks to everyone that has supported us in all we've put on. It has been wonderful. A real big thank you to the wonderful Peavine Pickers. They were there for our grand opening and here for our anniversary party. They are a party themselves! Everyone had a real good time on Saturday the 17th. We had good food, as always, great music, and lots of dancing and singing along.

DON'T FORGET THE SUPER BOWL PARTY

2010-01-03T08:04:00.000-08:00

Super Bowl will be here before you know it. We'll be having a big potluck dinner. I sure hope Bruce Woods brings that hot rod chili again that he brought last year. That was great stuff!!!
We'll be posting boards for super bowl in $10.00, $5.00 and $1.00 squares. Get in before they are all taken up.

~WINTER ATV RIDE~

2010-01-03T08:01:00.000-08:00

Way too much fun!!! Don't know why we haven't done this sooner. What a beautiful day we had too. The weather was super. Everyone seemed to enjoy the warming stations with the hot fire and hot buttered rum. Then back to the Manhattan Bar for a steak dinner. Was just a great time.

We definitely have to do this again. What a way to start 2010.

NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY A GREAT ONE

2010-01-03T07:42:00.000-08:00

We had spaghetti with meat sauce, chukkar, turkey, deviled eggs, tortillini soup and breads for feasting. And then we had a PARTY!!! What a great one it was.We rang in the New Year with the ol' champange thing and then the partying continued. John & I used good sense and we went home at 2:30 or 3:00. Dawn was out of there at 4:00. I'm thinking good time! The proof is in the pictures........

IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL YEAR!!!!

2009-12-18T08:16:00.000-08:00

We must say the year has really sped by. Not sure where the time has gone. We started with a wonderful grand opening January 17, 2009 with the wonderful Peavine Pickers and it just seemed to be a whirlwind of activity since. We had 2 ATV rides in 2009 and both were a lot of fun! We had a great baseball game with Belmont and they now want revenge. We had horseshoe tournaments that were a blast. Our Halloween Party was fun and the costumes were great. For Thanksgiving we put on a great dinner and served about 20 people. What a nice Thanksgiving it was.
Now it is time for Santa so John and I went out to get a tree to put up in the bar. I wanted a good sized full tree. We didn't want to take up the dance floor area with a tree so the room with the pool table was the place. We had to put a tarp around it and tie it up and it took 4 guys to get it into the building.
What do you think? Good sized, full tree, huh?

Now we are about to start a new year. We will be ending 2009 with a New Year's Eve party with lots of food and beverage to ring out the old and bring in the new. Everyone is invited to help us celebrate the close of our 1st year in the bar and motel.
Saturday, January 2, 2010 will be the first winter ATV ride. Grab your heavy coat and ear muffs because we are going to have a "cool" ride indeed. There will be a couple warming stations (those snowmobile riders have nothing on us) where you can warm yourself at a fire and have hot buttered rum to help the warming process. After the ride we'll have a steak dinner and then, of course, we'll have a little party. There will be drawings for some cool atv stuff too. $10.00 gets you a place in the ride and dinner. We're asking that you call us to get on our list so we know how many to plan for. Check back in for more pictures of the actual road we'll be riding. See if you can recognize where we'll be riding.....
The Manhattan bowling leage is starting January 9, 2010. We are still looking for more people to participate. Other nights are also available if anyone is looking to have a league of their own. Just like the real bowling alleys.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

NEW WINTER HOURS

2009-11-06T07:38:00.000-08:00

We have decided to change our hours for the winter. With winter coming there aren't as many people out to stop in during the day like we have in the summer. With that in mind, our hours for the winter are:

Monday through Friday 2:00 pm till ?????
Saturday and Sunday 12:00 till ?????
If we have no customers, we'll close at 7:00 pm.

If you are wanting to come in prior to our opening, just call us at home and we'll probably open early for you. If you are planning to come out and are worried we'll be closed, call us before coming so we can stay open for you.

For those with motel reservations, call us to make arrangements for checking in or checking out.
Our home number is 775-487-2321.

Thanks

HALLOWEEN PARTY

2009-11-06T07:30:00.000-08:00

I'm a little late getting these pictures up but that's because we made a quick trip to Idaho to pick up our new Ranger. We go to Pocatello because you don't get treated better anywhere than at Butterfield Epxress. The new Ranger is wonderful!!!
Anyway, we had a great party for Halloween. Lots of good food, with Mexican as our theme for the occasion. Green Chili, enchiladas, dips, chips, Carne Asada. It was wonderful!!! Lots of good drink....... Dawn Bombs were flowing like crazy for some. For those that don't know, our very own Dawn, made up the "Dawn Bomb" and it is quite a popular drink around the Manhattan Bar. As always we had a great time with no problems.

Jeronimo & his Princess - Tony, not Willy......Sorry

Tell me Adam and Eve didn't look like this. Really, what a site they must have been.
The pirate, Catholic school girl and Eve. I'm thinking there could be trouble.
Dawn and Sandy were great!

Tom & Lesa as the Cleavors. If you knew them you would know that just isn't right!

MANHATTAN BEATS BELMONT

2009-10-17T09:00:00.000-07:00

Manhattan pulls off 20-17 win after a slow start by the Manhattan team. We had the most wonderful time playing this game!!! Everyone had a great time, players and spectators alike! We're still talking about how what a great day it was! We had a few injuries, some minor, one major but all did live through the experience. After the game we had chili & brats a few drinks and relived the game again. Who says we can't have fun in the rural areas.

We are already planning our next year's game. We should have even more people there to watch and laugh at us "old folks" playing games.

This is the Manhattan team. Aren't we a good looking bunch?

This is the Belmont team. Not nearly as cute as we are!

BELMONT VS MANHATTAN BASEBALL

2009-09-17T09:44:00.000-07:00

We have been challenged by Belmont to a baseball game Saturday Sept. 26, 2009 at 1:00 pm What great fun this will be for players and spectators alike!!! Players must be residents age 50 and older. (I'm thinking oxygen should be standing by just in case)
It is the day of our chili cook-off so after the game there will be chili to sample and we'll be grilling up something too.
After all this, you better stay for a night of dancing or maybe some bowling on the Wii, or both! It just doesn't get any better than this.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS BACK AT THE MANHATTAN BAR!!!

2009-09-17T09:36:00.000-07:00

Monday night football at the Manhattan Bar. No better way to spend the evening than with friends at the bar. We have football pools going each week. There is food provided, and it is always lots of fun! Keep us in mind for all your Monday Night Football!

What a great time!

2009-09-05T11:39:00.000-07:00

What a great time my husband and I had in Big Smoky Valley the weekend of August 28-30. We drove up for the Annual Smoky Valley Days celebration, and to attend the concert on Saturday night with Little Texas and Amy Scruggs.

The concert was awesome – but even better was when we returned to the Manhattan Bar and Motel to spend the night, we ran into Little Texas again, because they were also staying in the motel!

These guys were so nice and so much fun. We sat on the porch at the bar and shared drinks and stories before it was time for them to head to their rooms.

As always, everything at the bar was great and we had a weekend we will remember for many years to come.

I have included a few pictures from the concert and from the bar after the concert.
Thanks John and Mary!
