Walt Butler – The History of Bars in New Mexico
Bars date from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
Bars consisted of a front bar with a footrest and counter and a back bar with mirrors, shelves, glasses and liquor.
These ornate bars were manufactured by Brunswick (famous for bowling equipment) and Sears Roebuck (who also made prefab houses).
Bars were shipped by train or ship around Cape Horn and then by wagon to their destination, usually a booming mining town.
The manufacturers trained the bartenders before sending them west.They were trained in bar assembly, mixology, etiquette, piano and billards.They were often among the most educated and traveled people in town.
A few local bar gems:
The Owl Bar in San Antonio, NM – its original Brunswick bar was purchased by Augustus Hilton, father of Conrad Hilton, and is still in use today.
The Double Eagle in Albuquerque – home to a European bar that traveled around Cape Horn, famous for turquoise margaritas served with a real piece of turquoise in the glass.
The Legal Tender in Lamy, NM and the St. James Hotel in Cimarron.
