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!
