A Hidden Gem in the Middle of Nowhere – Santa Fe Saloon
If you’re cruising through Nevada and find yourself near Goldfield, do not skip the Santa Fe Saloon. It’s a must-stop for anyone who enjoys a cozy, friendly, and totally affordable experience that feels like stepping back in time. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that old Wild West charm—complete with historic decor, creaky floorboards, and stories in the air.
The staff are absolute legends. Not only are they warm and welcoming, they’re more than happy to share tales of the town’s rich and quirky past. Whether you’re grabbing a cold drink, soaking in the atmosphere, or just looking to chat with some locals, this saloon delivers on all fronts.
Prices are great, the vibes are even better, and you’ll leave with a smile (and probably a story or two). Highly recommended!

Walked there from campground. It was too smoky for us-tgus the atmosphere reading low (allergies) but those that smoke would like this place. Very historic. Bartender was very friendly. We stayed for a drink, looked around to read history info & left. Cool, historic place. Not sure they had food. Full bar, slot machines, pool table, restrooms.

Local watering hole with nice, affordable cabins. I will always stay here now, when visiting one of my all time favorite “living ghost towns”. Love goldfield, and love Santa Fe Saloon and Rachelle the bar tender. Nice folks all around and comfortable accommodations.

One of the coolest bars I’ve been to. Established in 1905, it’s got that great “patina” the one expects from and old bar. It’s got a great vibe and the staff and the other customers were friendly. Best of all, IT’S DOG FRIENDLY! Don’t pass this place up.

I’m a Realtor and am helping a lovely lady sell her land in Goldfield. While in Goldfield to take pictures of the land, I decided to explore this historically rich town. I stayed the night at the Santa Fe and was pleasantly surprised. Check In was at the bar area and was easy and prompt. The waitress seemed helpful and friendly. I filled out a check in cheat, she took my payment and off I went with my key. There is a laundry on the premises but I didn’t need it. We stayed in Room 8 and I was very happy with the accommodations. The room has 2 queen beds, tv, mini fridge, microwave, bathroom and small closet. The room was nice and warm when we walked in. Beds were very comfy. We brought our own pillows so can’t comment on those. Parking was right outside the room. In the morning we walked across the street to the old railroad boneyard. Some amazing stuff in this town! Would definitely stay here again.

The wife and I stopped in at this place for a couple of days on our way from Washington state to Vegas. We also stayed in the motel out back, and the rooms are nice for the money you pay, which is a lot less than a hundred a night. It is the oldest continuing-to-operate tavern in Nevada. Late in his life, Virgil Earp was a deputy sheriff in Goldfield and he hung out at the Santa Fe occasionally. It is definitely real Wild West stuff and not phony for tourists stuff. It is the REAL DEAL. Watch out non-smokers. Smoking is allowed in the bar.
Some caveats: There is no store in Goldfield and no gas stations. I mean ZIP, NADA, NOTHING. So pick up whatever you need before you arrive. Gas, snacks, whatever. And if you want a motel room out back of the bar, CALL THEM ON THE PHONE first. They don’t do Hotels dot com or any of that modern stuff. They have a big book where they write in the reservations. The barmaids do it. You call the bar and they put you in the book. Pay when you arrive at the bar.
For a good meal, drive the 25 miles north to Tonopah and hit up the casino. (No worries. Highway is flat, speed limit is HIGH, and you’ll be there in minutes.) Order the steak dinners for 25 bucks and get the best beef you’ve probably had in a long time. The casino has a line on some of the absolutely best beef in Nevada. Trust me on this one. All the services and stores and gas are in Tonopah as well. There IS a small cafe in Goldfield that is open spotty hours, but even the locals don’t eat there. Coffee maybe. If they are open.
Bar is open from 2PM until 10PM seven days a week. No worries. We just kept drinking our pre-purchased Michelob Ultras from our coolers after the bar closed. However, the barmaid will stay and the place will remain open for a while longer if the tips are coming and business is good. It’s Nice People Hanging Out Party Central for sure. You can stumble off later to your motel room anyway, since it is just out back of the bar. There is a laundry room between them if you need to wash your duds while you are there.
While you are in Goldfield, you might want to make a stop at nearby GEMfield, which is a Bureau of Land Management mining claim offering chalcedony gemstone. Hand tools only. You walk in from the parking area. Walk out with your rocks, weigh them on the scale and pay a buck a pound. They take PayPal or just mail them a check.

You want authentic Wild West charm? Look no further than the Santa Fe Saloon! Located in Goldfield, a quiet town along Highway 95, the Santa Fe was once the working man’s saloon. Miners returning from the gold fields nearby whet their whistles here after a hard day’s toil. The main downtown, about a quarter mile south of the Santa Fe, was where business men and visitors usually drank back in the day. It’s one of the oldest bars in the state and it retains its Wild West atmosphere inside and out. The liquor selection is limited, but that’s not an issue. There are plenty of gaming machines inside if you’re inclined to lose your money to Lady Luck. A motel is part of the business if you end up too drunk to leave town or even if you’re just passing through. The staff is attentive and the locals are always happy to share stories of the town’s history. The saloon has survived two fires and a flood that devastated most of Goldfield’s businesses throughout history and it stands as a prosperous testament to the resiliency of the Wild West.

I didn’t eat here, but the service and atmosphere are great! Calling a living ghost town home is only enhanced by the fact that the Santa Fe is the longest running, continuously opened business in Goldfield. Goldfield was established in 1902, so that is quite impressive!

Just a good time to be out there if you want to get away from people nice bar to be in that’s for sure love it

A bar where Wyatt Earp once worked and still standing! Great place to hang, nice atmosphere too. Even though the only food is really frozen pizza, it’s better than most frozen pizza I’ve had.
It’s historic and worth checking out if you’re into the old west.
