Re: Salon or Saloon ?
It's Saloon. A salon is where you get your hair done.

Exactly, a lot more drinking goes on in there than perms and dye jobs.

Re: Salon or Saloon ?
I've been on a few boats around sunset where the whole damn boat is a saloon.

Re: Salon or Saloon ?

But a Saloon has swinging doors.
Actually, I just call it "downstairs."

Re: Salon or Saloon ?
Reminds me of when I e-mailed a list of things that would be needed to a mate who was looking to buy a first boat........
....I did a typo on the word Warps - for years afterwards he kept calling 'em "Wraps"  .
I suspect Salon and Saloon much the same.

Re: Salon or Saloon ?
In the Salon you are having Tea.
In the Saloon you are having a beer or two.

Re: Salon or Saloon ?
It's my understanding that it's spelled 'saloon' but pronounced 'salon'. Don't know why though.
