Gathered around a small bar are ten men, holding glasses and mugs of beer. Most are also holding lit cigars. Holding a cigar, a single bartender is standing behind the bar. A cash register, with a sale of twenty five cents is on a counter behind the bar. A sign on the top of the cash register reads “Amount Purchased.” Several glass bottles are visible on either side of the cash register. Several signs, including ones for “Gold Star Pure Beer, Dubuque Star Brewing Co.” and “Banquet Bottle Beer, Dubuque Brewing & Malting Co.,” and a June 1912 calendar are visible above the rear counter. The head of a small buck is mounted above the signs; a rifle is attached to the wall close to the ceiling. A spittoon is visible on the stained wooden floor in front of the bar. The number “52” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “11” is written in the upper left corner.
