“ Exceptional, professional service, and I was directed there by a local who saw me in front of the "General Store" and walked over, asked if she could help me with anything. I'm very impressed with the friendliness of the Randsburg people, and had a wonderful conversation with an elderly gentleman who was in his 80's and lived there his entire life. I'm looking forward to returning soon. ”
“ You're are amazing! We've been there on our way to Death Valley, we stop just for a coffee and we found kindness and atmosphere thank you from Rome, Italy ”
“ What a treasure trove of memories this place is! We dropped into The Joint while visiting Randsburg on Mon Nov 28th ‘22. Born & raised in S Africa, we were fascinated by this historic mining town which was, along with nearby Johannesburg, named by S African miners who had traveled from SA to CA for the new gold rush in 1895. We met Neil, the owner, as he was cleaning up after a crazy busy Thanksgiving weekend which drew 10,000 people to the town (!), but he assured us that it’s normally way quieter than that. He was officially closed that day but opened for us and a couple of thirsty off-road heavy-duty bikers, and over the next 20 mins and a cold one, he gave us all a fantastic verbal history tour of Randsburg and his bar. The Joint was built in the early 1900’s and has been in his family since 1955, when his feisty Italian Grandmother ruled the roost with a sharp tongue and strict rules about foul language! As you can see from the pics, this place is filled with 80 years of fascinating historical photos and memorabilia that will transport you back to bygone mining years and the tons of stories created along the way. The Joint is THE place to visit, get a cold one, and hang out in Randsburg, CA. Highly recommended, cheers! ”
