DURTY NELLY'S
Good drinks. Great people. A great time in Deadwood.
A BASEMENT BAR THAT DOESN'T BEHAVE
Some of Deadwood’s best stories aren’t found on Main Street. They’re found underneath it.
Located beneath Oyster Bay in the historic Fairmont building, Durty Nelly’s is a high-energy basement bar with three bars, karaoke every Thursday through Saturday, adult crane games and more than a century of colorful Deadwood history. Take the stage, grab a drink, order an A&B Pizza from upstairs or settle in and watch the party unfold. Durty Nelly’s is loud, lively and never quite predictable.

MORE THAN A BASEMENT BAR
Long before Durty Nelly’s became one of Deadwood’s liveliest late-night destinations, the basement of the Fairmont was home to a barbershop, massage parlor, Turkish bath and Prohibition-era speakeasy. Several pieces of that history can still be found inside the bar. The old cistern well that once supplied water to the Turkish bath remains near the Widow Maker, and the site of one of Deadwood’s earliest jail holding cells can still be seen near the front of the basement.
It’s an unusual combination of Deadwood history and present-day fun, but that’s exactly what makes Durty Nelly’s unlike anywhere else in town.
