"Run by the ex-New Yorkers Linda Krantz and Robyn Celia, Pappy & Harriet's is a must stop for musicians like Lucinda Williams, PJ Harvey and Leon Russell. Sunday afternoons are when the local desert rock bands come out, among them Gram Rabbit, Angel Thrift and Queens of the Stone Age. On a recent Thursday afternoon, Jessica Von Rabbit, the lead singer of Gram Rabbit, was drinking a mug of beer at the end of a long wooden bar, outfitted in a fur-lined coat and big red sunglasses.
In any other small desert town her midday vampy-rock star appearance might have caused hostile stares. But in Joshua Tree, she was just another local."
~Julia Chaplin, NY Times
Stroll around historic Pioneertown, enjoy BBQ under the stars & groove to a live band at this historic wild west watering hole in the mountains - there's usually no cover, and you might hear anything from bluegrass to country to rockabilly to indie rock, and everything in between.
Pioneertown was built in 1946 as a movie set for western movies, including the movies of Gene Autry, The Cisco Kid, with Duncan Renaldo, Annie Oakley with Gail Davis, Judge Roy Bean with Edgar Buchanan, Range Rider with Jock O. Mahoney, and Buffalo Bill Jr. with Dick Jones. The movie set was to provide a place for the actors to live, and have their homes used as part of a movie set. Some of the original investors in the town were Roy Rogers, who also built the Pioneer Bowl, Sons of the Pioneers, which the town was named after, Dick Curtis who was a professional villian in old movies, Bud Abbott, Russell Hayden, who played Lucky on the Hoppalong Cassidy series, Louella Parsons the Hollywood gossip columnist and Philip N. Krasne: The Man Who Saved Pioneertown.
