This old saloon just at the edge of the Santa Fe action is a great place for a drink, a burger, or both. My wife and I like to sit in two of the four highly coveted leather chairs by the fireplace on a cold winter day, sipping something to warm us up. The bar's red leather chairs, old wood, rustic tables, and cozy nooks are throwbacks to the old west. You don't have to wear a cowboy hat and boots here, but you may feel more of that vibe if you do. There is also a light and airy dining room on the side. A fine room for lunch but a totally different vibe, more like an indoor garden. On my most recent visit I really enjoyed the ribs, which are a fall-off-the-bone half rack on the appetizer part of the menu. You can make it a full meal with a side of fries or slaw. My only complaint is that the homemade potato chips have disappeared from the menu. I loved them. But we love the feel of this place and will be back many times.
