In 1965 owner and Henderson City Councilman Giles "Bud" Franklin's vision came to life with the opening of the Gold Mine Tavern. The bar served as one of downtown Henderson's long standing favorite hangouts with a reputation for affordable drinks and friendly service. Franklin, remained a fixture at the bar until he sold it in 1977. Following Franklin's departure as owner, the bar underwent several identity changes, with it primarily catering to those in the biker community.
As the years went by the Gold Mine Tavern's became an endearing icon of downtown Henderson one of the long standing staples of the bar is its original 80-foot long wooden bar. In 2006 current owner Tim Haughinberry purchased the Gold Mine Tavern with the vision of bringing a bit of the Fremont Street approachability and live music and event driven performances to Water Street. In recent years Haughinberry, completed several renovations to the Gold Mine Tavern including expanding the patio area and modernizing the interior spaces with a warm red and black color palette. The results of Haughinberry's rebranding efforts combined with the added programming of live local music performances and themed events have resulted in success, with the Gold Mine Tavern now appealing to a more diverse array of clientele including 20-30-year-olds in addition to the biker community and baby boomers.
