The Bett's Gold Coin Sports Tavern sign originally advertised for the Gold Coin Club. This sign is from the 1950s or earlier. There was a smaller panel under the sign which read "Dining Room." The Gold Coin Club opened in the 1880s as the Gold Club Saloon. It closed in 1989. In 2011, the bar reopened as Bett's Gold Coin Sports Tavern. At that time, the sign was restored and adapted for the new business name. [map]
