Once part opera house, this venerable saloon is Silver City's most atmospheric dining option, offering serious steaks and seafood amid 1860s Wild West decor – try the fresh and tasty buffalo burgers. There's live music on weekend nights and the vibe is convivial. It's located in Pinos Altos, 7 miles north of Silver City.
