During its early years, the Pozo Saloon was the primary watering hole for weary travelers making their way over Pozo Summit. Today it has taken its place among the best recognized concert venues on the Central Coast. From Willie Nelson to the Black Crowes, the Pozo Saloon has transformed itself from a dusty Civil War era saloon to a must-go-to concert destination.〔http://www.independent.com/artsandentertainment/2006/09/back_roads_hoedown.html〕〔(Welcome to the Pozo Saloon )〕 The ZIP Code is 93453.
