The Salty Dog Saloon is one of Homer's most famous landmarks, and a great place to kill time! It was originally built as a cabin in 1897. Over the years it served many purposes. The building was used as  a post office, a railroad station, a grocery store and more. In 1957 it was officially opened as the Salty Dog Saloon. It was eventually moved to its location on the Homer Spit. This bar is famous for the thousands of dollar bills it has signed and tacked to the walls by its patrons.
