Description

While playing poker with my friends in Tacoma, Washington I had always fantasized about being wealthy enough to fly myself and my friends to Dodge City, Kansas to play poker together. Unfortunately I am not yet wealthy, but I was able to fulfill just a small part of my two-decade fantasy. I was able to play poker in Dodge City. I was able to do this thanks to Peppercorn’s Bar and Grill.

My wife and I had just eaten supper at Sarocha’s, on Wyatt Earp Blvd., and were feeling like a drink or two to end the day. We spotted Peppercorn’s between Sarocha’s and our flea-bitten motel, and were glad we stopped in. Our drinks were made well, our server was attentive and quick, despite how busy it was inside, and the food others were eating looked great.

Peppercorn’s decor is busy. There is a lot to look at. Most of it is alcohol and sports related, with a few unusual items. The one piece of decor that caught my attention was a sign for Kansas Hold ‘Em. The Kansas State Lottery has a game much like Keno, but in the style of Hold ‘Em poker, which runs continuously and can be played for multiple dollar amounts. I believe the minimum is a two-dollar bet, with the big payout being as much as $10,000. The game is addictive and is odds based.

Thanks to Peppercorn’s I was able to slightly indulge in a partial fantasy of playing poker in Dodge City, although it was with my wife and not my buddies back home. The alcohol drinks were tasty and left us with a slight warm feeling in our body and a nice way to end our short trip to Dodge City. If we had not just eaten we would have loved to order from the menu, as the food looked delicious.

Peppercorn’s is located at 1301 West Wyatt Earp Blvd. in Dodge City, Kansas. It is not far from the Boot Hill Museum and other attractions in the historic area. Whether it’s a tasty drink, food, poker, or just people watching after touring the local area, Peppercorn’s is sure to impress.
