“Where Food
and History Meet”
Relics is located at the historic Rainbows End in the Red Rocks of
Sedona and is the town’s oldest operating restaurant.
Rainbows End, originally the Gibson Homestead and now our
restaurant (pictured above), was built in the early 1900’s and once
served as a general store.
In the 1940’s Ray Lawson purchased the property, built the
barroom in the front of the building, started the restaurant and
named it “Rainbows End” (inspired by “a pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow”). The
Dancehall in the back of the building was added shortly thereafter.
The Dancehall, which now serves as the Nightclub, was formerly a
community gathering spot and social club, a roller skating rink for
a short period of time in the 1950’s and continues to this day to be
the dwelling place for many ghosts that have been seen, heard, and
photographed through the years.
The Barroom has entertained its share of western movie stars
when filming in Sedona including John Wayne.
In 1965 a portion of “The Rounders” starring Glen Ford and
Henry Fonda was filmed here at Relics.
The Pool Room adjacent to the Barroom was formally a
breezeway connecting the front and back of the building.
In 2003-2006 the current owners meticulously restored the entire
facility one room at a time exposing all of the original stone &
wood work and utilizing the original materials and fixtures wherever
possible. The interior
has been tastefully redecorated reminiscent of the luxurious aspects
of the old west using period antique furniture, fixtures and
decorations.
Throughout the years Rainbows End has been transformed from Sedona’s
first town gathering spot to a western style steak house and now
finally a full service fine dining restaurant and nightclub hosting
the general public and a wide variety of private and special events
as well as entertainment and dancing on Northern Arizona’s largest
wooden dance floor.
Executive Chef and co-owner, Karen DeSalvo, proudly serves the
highest quality char-broiled USDA Choice steaks and the best Slow
Roasted Prime Rib in Arizona.
In addition, her menu includes a wide variety of exciting
appetizers and salads, as well as signature fish and seafood dishes.
We hope you enjoy our classic-style cuisine in this historic
setting as you combine your dining experience with a trip back in
time.
