Why you should go…

Part working saloon, part cabinet of curiosities, the Buckhorn has been collecting horns, antlers, and oddball Texana since 1881, Teddy Roosevelt reputedly recruited Rough Riders at the bar. The attached Texas Ranger Museum adds badges, six-shooters, and outlaw tales. Grab a cold one downstairs afterward.
