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!
The movie "Beer for my Horses" was filmed inside the Tavern (Named the Old Coal Mine Museum and the Engine House Theater!
