History
The Bucksnort Saloon is located in scenic Sphinx Park, Colorado, just a stone's throw from the town of Pine and State Highway 285. We're a historic Colorado saloon not far from Arapaho National Forest and all of the world class hiking, biking, climbing, fishing, hunting and kayaking it offers. Nestled at 7,040 feet in the Denver foothills, the Bucksnort is legendary as a cozy, old-west family restaurant and bar. A MUST-SEE for any out-of-town visitor. Our rustic location is a fun place to relax and enjoy a pint of our signature Antler Ale along with a world famous, award winning, half-pound Buck Burger while listening to live music on our deck overlooking scenic Elk Creek. Or, if it's cold out, come sit by our woodstove and warm up with some Bucksnort BBQ. Come find this Colorado experience.
Specialties
When you kick open our doors, you're not just walking into a bar: You're stepping into a historic community gathering place, into an iconic old-time Colorado landmark, into a real 'n' rustic hidden gem in the mountains. Once upon a time, circa 1919, our space in Pine was known as the Sphinx Park Mercantile -- a raucous hot spot for a regular collection of local railroad workers and miners. We became Bucksnort Saloon in the '70s, and now people from all over hop off Highway 285 for a taste of one of our Buck Burgers and a gulp of our signature Antler Ale. No day here is quite the same -- our menu and musical acts change as fast as the nearby Elk Creek flows -- but it's always a good time.
