One of the oldest restaurants in Idaho fittingly is located in one of
our state’s most historic small towns. The 1313 Club can be found in
downtown Wallace and it is a must for any Idahoan. This fantastic little
eatery is full of nostalgia and appreciation for the town’s very early
days as one of the most prominent silver mining communities in the
country. With excellent food and friendly service, this timeless
restaurant is one of the best spots to eat in this notable little town.
The historic town of Wallace is
often regarded as "The Silver Capital of the World" since it produced
over a billion dollars worth of silver during its heyday as a mining
town. It's obvious that this town is extremely proud of its roots since
most of the town looks exactly as it did during the early days.
Residing in the historic Heller
Building is The 1313 Club. The restaurant was first noted in the town
sometime during the early 1920's. Almost 100 years later, this place is
still alive and kickin'.
The interior has a unique vibe
to it. The walls are covered in bar memorabilia along with historic
photos of Wallace. It's an interesting mix of modern with history.
It's said that The 1313 Club got
its name for the fact that when it opened, there were already 12 bars
and 12 brothels in Wallace—making the restaurant "1313". However, nobody
is really sure if that is the real story.
After taking in the nostalgic
atmosphere, you'll realize that the food does not disappoint. This is
comfort food taken to a whole new level. The Braised Short Rib Poutine
with cheese curds and crispy fries looks absolutely heavenly!
You'll find lots of various
burgers and sandwiches on the menu, with heartier options like steaks
for dinner. The classic Reuben sandwich with house-made corned beef
brisket and sauerkraut is always a good choice.
The beer battered fish and chips
is also an excellent option. It's even made with a homemade batter
comprised of beer from Wallace Brewery!
If you're in the mood for something cozy and warm, try the famous Beef Stew. You will not be disappointed.
There's a reason this restaurant
has held up over the years. The food speaks for itself, but it's the
welcoming environment and the building's long history that has made this
an important part of the Wallace community.
You'll find The 1313 Club at 608 Bank St, Wallace, ID 83873.

This may come as a surprise, but there aren't too many mainstream songs out there written about our beautiful state. Apparently, everyone's exes live in Texas or something like that... Not that we mind! The fewer people who know about our slice of paradise, the better, right? Regardless, when a good song about Idaho comes on the radio or personal playlist, we can't help but wax a little nostalgic. Today, we've been able to dig up 15 tunes that capture the spirit of Idaho in their own unique way. Have a listen! 1. "Idaho" - Reckless Kelly (2013) "Because he's an Idaho cowboy/no Tennessee plow-boy / He's wild as the Rockies he rides." This popular alternative country group made every heart melt with this song. It sure does capture the spirit of the mountain-loving Idahoan, doesn't it? 2. "Idaho" - Feeder (2012) "I may find a better view, find a better... view / Idaho." Feeder is a British (Welsh) rock band that has bee...
Casa Loma (Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft) above sea level, 66 meters (217 ft) above Lake Ontario. Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies, and Casa Loma can be rented in the evenings after the museum closes to the public.
