An Invitation

Welcome to Lonely Street, a place where no one expects to be found. Along its path you will find low places, exclusive places, and a little farther out of the city, dead-end places. You’ve been to many of them already as a guest, a silent observer following a broken hero, a desperate chanteuse, a dirty, double-crossing partner, a crooked cop, an enemy with a grudge. This is Lonely Street and along its endless stretch are some of film noir’s most notorious and iconic pubs, clubs, and dives. Join me on the Lonely Street Bar Noir Pub Crawl.

DETOUR (1945)

This week the Lonely Street Bar Noir Pub Crawl visits the party spots of the 1945 film, Detour! A favorite of Noir Alley, Detour offers several stops between Reno and Los Angeles.





The night begins with a road trip outside of Reno. Why party in the biggest little city in the world when just down the road something special awaits your visit?

Hit the road with a pal!


Our first stop is the small but popular Nevada Diner. 


The Nevada Diner


Counter service only! A crack waitstaff is there to provide coffee, pie, and a little lesson on manners! 
Best coffee on the road!


Don't criticize a customer's taste in food or music!


It's somebody else's nickel, pal!


A cigarette machine for your convenience. 


Warning!

Ready for some fun? Head on back into Reno and hit the Break O' Dawn Club! 


Head back to Reno



Highly recommended as a fleabag joint, this hole-in-the-wall offers a full swing orchestra and a torch singer with a dream. 
The Break O' Dawn Band

Some day she'll be a star!

Perfect for an evening of dancing. 

Table service for sandwiches and cocktails. 

A BLT and Martini pairing

 Back on the road, it's time for a stop at another roadside diner before you drive all night in the rain with the top down as you head to L.A.

Keep the change

 Take in the many sites of a growing City of Angeles.

Photo ops

Plenty to see and do on this part of the. Lonely Street Bar Noir Pub Crawl. Until we hit the road again, be sure to settle your tab!

AND NOW THE STORY:

A gifted piano player fears he'll be blamed for two accidental deaths and hits the road. That's pretty much it. What follows is screenshots of cast and crew.
