The Legendary Silver Dollar Saloon

The Silver Dollar Saloon is a historic bar and restaurant at 315 Harrison Ave in Leadville, in business since 1879. The saloon says its original mahogany and white oak bar and its windbreak are still in place, and that figures such as Doc Holliday and Molly Brown passed through.

The kitchen serves dishes like whiskey-honey glazed wings, a rabbit and rattlesnake sausage on a hoagie roll, and chicken fried yak with country gravy. The saloon says its menu leans on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the bar pours Colorado beers, American wines and specialty whiskey. The family-owned business also caters weddings, corporate events and private parties, and can seat up to 75 guests for events in the historic room. Call during business hours to check whether the kitchen is open.
