When you "belly up to the bar" at the Mine Shaft Tavern you will be served from the longest stand-up bar in New
Mexico!
In 1944 the construction of the Mine Shaft Tavern was begun, the last of the "company town" buildings erected. The
40 ft. lodge pole pine bar, as well as most of the furnishings you see, were here in 1946 when the Tavern first opened
its doors. Although you may now partake of lunch or dinner, little has changed since the mining heydays.
Paintings above the bar by renowned Sandia Park
artist Ross J. Ward colorfully portray Madrid's rich
history. The Latin phrase on the angel's banner freely
translated, reads, "it is better to drink than work" - a
call to the weary miners!
In Jan. 2007 it was purchased by Lori Lindsey and
Jeffrey Kutcher who intend to retain the ambiance
while making improvements to the Tavern. The Mine
Shaft features the finest in live entertainment every
weekend.
A fun place to dine, dance and hang out with the locals!
