Markleeville’s legendary Cutthroat saloon is getting a new lease on life.

It has changed hands, and the new owner is restoring the name. Fawna Demond, who has periodically worked at the bar, is the new owner.

When Tom Abdoo bought the bar and restaurant in 2002 he renamed it the Wolf Creek Bar & Restaurant. He gutted the place, which included getting rid of all the bras that hung from the rafters.

Besides the name, Demond also plans to bring back some of menu items that were popular pre-Abdoo. The Cutthroat will be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
