In 1880, the Tribolet brothers and Bernhardt Wehrfritz opened the Golden Eagle Brewery. They offered a free lunch, German style, offering pigs feet and Limburger cheese, amoung other things. It was called the Fredricksburg Lager Beer Depot at one point. It burned in the 1882 fire. When Wehrfritz rebuilt, he expanded and opened the Crystal Palace Saloon. It was lavishly furnished and a gold fish pond and fountain in the center of the room. Marshal Virgil Earp and Dr. George Goodfellow had offices on the second floor. In 1914 when Arizona prohibition closed all the saloons the Crystal Palce became a theatre featuring movies and variety shows. After the prodibition it was reopened as the Crystal Palace Saloon and in the 1960's it was restored as it was in 1882. It remains the most popular saloon in Tombstone today and the only authentic one.
