It's the most well-known bar in Quincy, CA, which is in Plumas County. But it's not named for the county, it's named for the original owner, Plumas Stokes, who went by "Plumie" and his bar was referred to as Plumie's. As a long-time drunk (20yrs), I never spent much time there. I preferred drinking alone. But yeah, that is a great sign. The sky and other background was actually much better on the other side, but the sign's lights were broken on that side. I took a print of the photo to the bar owner and he told me they were going to fix the lights and re-paint the sign. I told him I thought the sign had a lot of character the way it was and suggested he just clean and then clear coat it to preserve the look. Even though he hasn't painted it, I don't think he put any serious consideration into my idea.I have no idea what a "Plumas" is but they have a great sign.
