Fodor's Review:

If hunting makes you queasy, don't enter this Denver landmark and taxidermy shrine, where 500 pairs of eyes stare down at you from the walls. The handsome men's-club decor -- with pressed-tin ceilings, burgundy walls, red-checker tablecloths, rodeo photos, shotguns, and those trophies -- probably hasn't changed much since the Buckhorn first opened in 1893. Rumor has it Buffalo Bill was to the Buckhorn what Norm Peterson was to Cheers. The dry-aged, prime-grade Colorado steaks are huge, juicy, and magnificent, as is the game. Try the smoked buffalo sausage or navy bean soup to start.

First night in Denver

Posted by edshome41 from Rome New York on 3/24/07
The mixed grills were great. Place was crowded and loud. The mounted animals were all over the place and over done. The elk was wonderful
