They call these 2 places "ghost towns" which is a bit of a misnomer. I do think that Madrid and Virginia City Nevada have a similar abandoned mining town vibe that we both found charming. And with the exception of the Virginia City Hat Maker, Madrid has better art. We came in on a Friday and just before a weekend music festival was to begin with the Mine Shaft being a major participant. We missed all than, but wouldn't have minded a little early live music. We snagged a nice outdoor table on the deck and enjoyed 2 different types of delicious brisket, along with generous portion of fries. I had a local beer, while Gayle had wine. We took our time and really enjoyed our time here. Until next time....

The Long Pour was such a great find! There are several free parking lots around the building, so…read moreparking was easy and stress-free. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint with a welcoming bar, comfortable indoor seating, and a covered outdoor patio that's perfect for enjoying nice weather. It's the kind of place where you can easily relax and stay awhile. The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome without being overbearing. I ordered the tuna melt, and it was absolutely delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted with just the right amount of crispness, and the tuna salad was flavorful and well-seasoned. You can tell they pay attention to the little details. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere, The Long Pour is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back!

Not sure if they were short wait staff on the somewhat busy Saturday night but it sure felt that way. Super slow. I thought the short & simple menu boded well for a sharp & focused kitchen but the food was really underwhelming. A beet and goat cheese salad with grilled chicken had almost no cheese and seriously overcooked dry chicken. Pork quesadillas were ok but with overly sweet bbq sauce. Cool building and nice bar area.

Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of the location. Because of Katya. Katya is not my favorite bartender. She is my favorite human being. I've spent enough time in bars to know when someone is good at their job. Katya operates on an entirely different level. She can take what feels like sixteen orders at once, remember every single one, deliver them with absolute precision, keep the entire room moving, somehow do the math in her head, and still make every customer feel like they're the only person sitting at the bar. The basement bar itself is exactly what a great dive should be; a shithole. Heavy hobo stab vibes upon entry, including Katya. Smell: multiple buttholes farting at once. Climate control: sweaty patron dependent. Lighting: liability. TV: playing a rotation of trash 80s DVDs . If business schools were smart, they'd study her. If hospitality groups were smart, they'd clone her. If Santa Fe has any sense at all, they'll do whatever it takes to keep her exactly where she is. Cash only, so come prepared. And bring plenty of it, because she deserves every penny. Katya must be protected at all costs.
