  • Ernie D’s Bar
    If you want to get really authentic, take a drive down to Jean, head straight west to the hills and meander through Sandy Valley to Ernie D’s. As gritty and downhome as it gets, Ernie holds down the end of the bar while a real-life constable moonlights as bartender. If you are special, Ernie will offer a shot of his Johnny Walker Blue that he keeps hidden in his...
