The bars, saloons, restaurants, and taverns are listed below in alphabetical order. Each one evokes a wonderful Old West feel in their architecture, design, and atmosphere. From creaky wood floors, to the background music, to the dusty roadways, to the wooden swinging saloon doors, or to the round poker tables, these places truly echo the Wild West era when they were filled with wranglers, cowboys, prospectors, gunslingers, sodbusters, tenderfoots, pioneers, and cattle ranchers.
The dates shown are when the structure was built or opened. A second date is when the current restaurant began operating. As more authentic Old West dining establishments are visited, they will be added to the list. Peace!
