Just okay- maybe prior reviews were paid?? Too much lime juice in all the drinks- they all taste the same (a margarita shouldn’t taste the same as a drink with sparkling wine). Try seasoning some the food with salt. Crab cakes – eh, spouse says chicken fried steak was good. Bar has about 20 seats, way too crowded for a 10×20 space. Drinks $10-20, food $20-50. Not worth the drive to the middle of no where TX.; maybe try Marfa or Alpine? This place is fake trendy for a 40+ crowd. The longer we were here the worse it got. Probably could have walked out and no one notice…

Visited the White Buffalo Bar, located inside the Gage Hotel.
This bar used to be known for its margaritas, but unfortunately, that reputation no longer holds up. The cocktails we had were some of the worst we’ve experienced in quite some time, especially considering the prices and the setting.
They’re still using simple syrup in margaritas—which in 2025 is pretty inexcusable. A proper margarita should be clean, balanced, and fresh. We tried JP’s Margarita, Early Check In and the Spicy Cowboy, and neither one worked. Flavors were off, unbalanced, and honestly disappointing across the board.
The space itself is fine, and to be fair, there aren’t many bar options in Marathon aside from the distillery down the block. But that scarcity shouldn’t excuse poor execution.
Honestly, if you’re driving, you’d be better off bringing your own mixers and making a margarita in your room.
Missed opportunity for what should be a standout spot in such a small town.

We had a wonderful time here the other day. Logan, the bartender made us an amazing margarita and took excellent care of us, we would come back again just to visit him! The bar is such a cool place, small, dimly lit with good acoustics.

Great Ambience, very historic, traditional, culturally rich! SCRUMPTIOUS Food- The steak, the mushroom tacos, Oyster Nachos, Brush fire Margarita, and the chocolate Brownie Dessert with Dulce Leche ice cream! Last BUT the Best are the two people who made our day ‘Jason’ and ‘Corey’, both are the Bar tenders; gave EXCELLENT customer service. They gave us Flawless food selections and Tourist Attraction suggestions, kept us interested, amazed and smiling the whole evening, that we forgot our long drive exhaustion. I will recommend it anytime to my Family and Friends to make their day!

Good drinks with hardworking bartenders. These ladies aren’t sitting around on their phones. I’d recommend the Brush Fire and House Margarita but they have a lot of liquor on hand to make you anything. I’d skip the nachos, it’s more of a quantity over quality with them. I was fighting to find crunchy chips as most turned soggy.

Upscale watering hole in landmark Gage Hotel transports guests back in time with cowboy chic decor. Try the house, fresh squeezed margaritas. Next door, the 12 Gage restaurant beckons foodies with a menu of wild game and fresh picked vegetables and herbs from the hotel’s gardens. If you plan a trip to Big Bend National Park, Gage is the place to stay. But, it’s worth a trip just for the Gage Hotel experience. While there, experience the last wild stretch of the Rio Grande, take a raft across to Mexico for tacos, visit artsy Marfa for its galleries, and gaze heavenwards at the amazing night sky in a region declared a Dark Sky area.
