Buckhorn Exchange Denver
When I arrived home from Dallas Sunday, my mother, step-father, and granny were waiting for me. They had just made a road trip from TN and they were hungry:)
About a month prior to their visit, they had seen something on the History Channel about the oldest restaurant in Denver, The Buckhorn Exchange. This was one of the most important priorities for their trip, so we made reservations.
First of all, this place is a taxidermist’s dream. There are hundreds of stuffed beasts and critters all over the walls. There are also tons of old photos, guns, and other antiques. It is hard to see them all without leaning over other patrons’ tables.
Our meals included rattlesnake, elk, buffalo, quail, ostrich, and alligator. Granny played it safe with navy bean and ham soup along with a baked potato. The food was great and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it.
I almost forgot, if you want a great atmosphere to kick back and have a few drinks with friends, the bar upstairs is just the ticket. Don’t forget to tell the bartender Tim Berry sent you…
