Located in Pinos Altos, New Mexico, the bar on the mountain sits at 7000’ feet. Since it first opened in the 1860’s the Buckhorn has been a gathering place for great food, music and camaraderie. Whether it’s strangers sharing tables, standing on the front porch to watch the sunset, or basking in the warmth of the fire in the winter, locals, world travelers and people from all walks of life feel at home in this historic bar.

Musicians from all over love to play here because of our great audiences and intimate venue. Our clientele loves music!

The Bar Manager, Melanie Zipin, is both a performing and visual artist. She plays in a duo with her husband, as well as with a full band, dubbed ‘the Z Factor’. She has 3 CD’s to her credit and if you are lucky on the night you are there, she may come out from behind the bar and up to the mic to sing a song or two for you.
