Bett's Gold Coin Sports Tavern

Step into California's Gold Rush Era by visiting Bett's Gold Coin Sports Tavern, a family friendly restaurant, located in Mariposa, California, outside of Yosemite National Park. John Charles Fremont, American military officer, explorer, and politician who became the first candidate of the anti-slavery Republican Party for the office of President of the United States, built the Fremont Adobe in 1850. The historic building was restored in 2011, and presently houses the restaurant, where you can view a portion of the original wall, and the impressive murals painted by Cornelious Vejer which depict naval engagements. Bob and Linda Borchard welcome you to Old Town Mariposa, where History becomes alive!


The reopening of the Gold Coin and restoration of the Fremont Adobe, brings closure to the restoration/revitalization to the core of downtown Mariposa. After a number of years of having this historic building sit vacant at the heart of the community, it is expected that it’s re-establishment will mark the end of the “Great Recession” in Mariposa like it’s original opening in 1930s marked the end of the Great Depression.
