The current Mine Shaft Tavern was completed in 1947 with much of the interior the
same today. In the 1950's most of the mines closed
and Madrid became known as a
ghost town for about 20 years.
The Mine Shaft Tavern and the Old Coal Mine Museum are on the 2005 "most
endangered historic places" - its the real thing.
Today, were known for our “New Mexico Roadhouse Cuisine”—Green Chile Burgers
and Buffalo Burgers, Handcut fries, homemade Green and Red Chile sauces, organic
greens, great daily specials and desserts. Lunch and dinner. Full bar.
See us on the NM Culinary Treasures Trail!
The paintings by renowned Tinker Town
artist Ross Ward located above the bar and behind the stage colorfully portrays
Madrid's rich history, from mining days to recent past with its melodrama theatre.
The Mine Shaft continues to serve to its diverse clientele - bikers on weekends,
locals, artists, musicians and travelers abroad …Ross duly cites the Mine Shaft Tavern
as the
"Cultural Gem of the Mining District"

Coal mining began around 1835 in what is now known as Madrid (pronounced
MAD-rid). The town grew as a "company town", the company owned
everything- administering law & order, operating the hotel, stores and the
tavern. The original tavern was established around 1895, it burned down on
Christmas Day in 1944.
