Profile of the Buckhorn Saloon & Opera House, originally opened in the 1860s in Pinos Altos, NM (elevation 7,000+ feet). Describes the three elements of the renovated space: the saloon with thick oak bar and live music, the formal dining room with chef Thomas Bock, and the opera house performance venue with frontier theater design including stage, box seats, and full bar. The building serves as the centerpiece of Pinos Altos' main street, a cluster of 19th-century buildings that together create an old Western movie set atmosphere.
