The Legendary Silver Dollar Saloon

Absolutely an amazing place. Great atmosphere, great drinks and even more incredible bartender. Jake did a great job! He was so kind and welcome, we truly felt at home. He went above and beyond making sure we were taken care of. My dad and I were on a 10 day road trip from and made it a point to come through colorado, just to come here. Jake took thst to a new level. Cant wait to come back.

Amazing bar with great food. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Great service. I didn’t catch their names but we came in Friday 7/31 for lunch, and the gal bartender was awesome!Authentic and special saloon with the best western atmosphere.

We stopped in on a whim, which is honestly the best way to find a place like this. We'd been driving through Leadville and something about the exterior just made us slow down. Walked in and immediately felt like we'd taken a wrong turn into 1879, which sounds like a cliche but I don't know how else to describe it. The original bar, the floors, the stuff on the walls. You kind of just stand there for a second. We ended up staying for food, which we hadn't planned on. Got the Reuben and the pulled pork sandwich, plus an order of the wings. The Reuben is apparently a thing here and now I understand why. They brine and roast the brisket in house, slow roast it for a long time, make their own dressing. You can taste the difference. The pulled pork was solid too, good BBQ sauce, nothing overly complicated. The wings had this whiskey honey glaze that we were not expecting and that ended up being the thing everyone at the table kept reaching for. The bartender told us some of the history while we ate. Doc Holliday used to come here. So did Oscar Wilde, which is a strange pairing to think about. The booths are apparently from the train that originally brought in supplies to build the bar. That kind of detail either matters to you or it doesn't, and for us it really did. Check the kitchen hours before you go, they close earlier than you'd expect. But if you time it right, do not skip the food. It surprised us.
