We stumbled across this little dive bar last fall while on a road trip through the mountains and decided to check it out. Walking into this spot is like traveling back hundreds of years. The floor of the entrance is slanted towards the river, the walls are covered with graffiti and stapled-on dollar bills, and the only source of heat comes from a wood burning stove located in the center of the dining area. We ordered a Moose Drool and an Antler Ale from the lovely bartender and sat next to the stove, trying to thaw out. The fantastic aroma of the burning wood filled the bar, mingling with the delicious scent of freshly cooked burgers. While we didn't eat anything this time, the burger that came out of the kitchen was mountainous and made us wish we hadn't had lunch right before. We chatted with the locals who had wandered across the street for a mid-afternoon happy hour while the bartender stoked the fire, and sipped our icy cold brews, enjoying the camaraderie and friendliness of the small town before continuing on our trip. I can't wait to travel back in time again!

Love this place. We were driving through the mountains and saw a sign on highway. How lucky! Cute place. Dollar bills everywhere. The bAbbling brook is so relaxing to sit by and the Brisket and Potato Salad are amazing. Definite suggest you take a drive to the mountains and atop in. Friendly staff and patrons.

The wife and I went on a wild adventure through the rainy Colorado mountains and crazy muddy dirt road on the Harley to get to this one of kind saloon last week. This is a quaint little, old school, mom and pop type saloon! There are literally hundreds of dollar bills blowing in the breeze attached to the walls and ceilings sign by different people from all over the world. They had live music, and a small outdoor patio. The drive to get up to the saloon is a well graded dirt road which is easily drivable by all vehicles. I would however be careful heading up there in the rain, I'm sure it would be rather muddy. I had a fantastic Bloody Mary that looked more like a salad. It had just the right amount of spice to give it some kick and it went down real smooth. The cheese burgers were homemade outside on the grill; we watched the owner cooking while we sat outside. The service was a little slow and chaotic due to the number of patrons and limited amount of staff. The saloon sits right along a small creek and has a nice view of the surrounding mountains. This is definitely a great place to take a small road trip on a weekend afternoon to see some great scenery and lounge the afternoon away.

Watching the cook BBQ all the meat on his specialty grills - if you go, look carefully at the front of the grills! haha

I do NOT understand how this place has such a low overall review rating. This is a dive bar up in the mountains...it is AWESOME. It is EXACTLY what you hope it to be... down-home, grungy, unpretentious divey fun. They have a dirt parking lot, a small merch store, two bathrooms, a wooden bar, and dining area with space for live music bands. In the back, they have a patio that overlooks a creek. Very quaint, mountain-y feel. It was about an hour from Denver, so we did it for lunch and then headed over to Red Rock Amphitheater and teh cities of Golden and Boulder and then back to Denver - great excursion if you have a rental for the day! Our waitress/bartender was working her buns off to get everyone served as quickly as possible and she knows how to hustle and still be friendly and engaging (now, I wish I caught her name, but I added a picture of her)! When we were there on 8/9/20, Justin Hitson was there playing unannounced while he was on vacation - WOW! He is amazing and made the entire little cabin rock! We ate some AMAZING elk jalapeno brats (highly recommend that or the brisket sandwich), added our personalized dollar to the ceiling, paid our tab, made a bathroom pitstop, and left the dusty dirt parking lot just as a big group of bikers came in and were told it was an hour wait for food at that point (good timing on our part!). I will definitely recommend this to other friends to go visit if they have a car....totally a neat experience.

If you are looking for a huge menu or a fancy place this ain't it! But if you want a place where you can relax by a cast iron wood stove, in a place with a lot of character, friendly service, and have a few beers then this is a great place to visit. The night we went they had a beef stew in a crusty bread bowl, burgers, and an elk or beer brat on the menu. We had the beef stew (which was to die for) and the burgers that were solid. This was destination dining and it was exactly what I expected. My daughter and her boyfriend agreed.

What a place and what a trip. We are so glad we found this little slice of paradise in the middle of the mountains. Cold beer, friendly people, and a setting that takes your breath away. As two originating members of the Twelve Nipple Troubadours, we are honored to be a small part of a long and sorted tradition. Live today like it's a party that will never end and visit the BuckSnort! R&L F Forever

The drive was beautiful! The place was pretty cool with all the dollar bills all over. Neat, small patio with nice view. Ordered a Bucksnort burger with the works, took almost a hr to get, came to me almost completely raw! Took a bite of it and spit it out in my napkin. The waitress saw and asked if everything was okay. I sent it back, was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too raw to eat. 10 min later she gives me the SAME burger back to me with my bite marks in it!! WTF!?? Pretty sure that's a health code violation. Service was extremely slow, I felt like we were more of a nuisance than a customer. The older women were slow and pissy. Beers are $4, burger $13. Cool location, wouldn't be back.

Pine, Colorado --- Mountain trail "Buck Snort Saloon" is bar 366 of "DUSA 2017" (Discover USA) ... over a mile drive along a narrow dirt road through a canon/gulch area made for a pleasant adventure & discovery ... a dive bar supreme, the "Buck Snort Saloon" even featured "Jeff", a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite bartender ... bar flair in the form of hanging dollar bills, deer & elk trophies, deck carvings. coin tossing's on a roof & in the river bed, plus gave me a continuous smile ... the use of firewood stoves just adds to the character of this "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite bar ... day 135 "DUSA 2017" (Discover USA) day 136 "666 Bars of 2017" / bar 366 "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! #RunAwayBill #666BarsUSA #WorldsLongestBarCrawl #DUSA2017 #BuckSnortSaloon 07.06.17

The bartenders anytime I've gone in are attentive and one will even get you another drink without you having to ask until you say stop or from what I saw from an inebriated patron she says stop. They serve pizza and snacks from a little pizza oven, it's not your first choice for dinner but if you get munchies while there it's convenient. The jukebox is awesome, download the app and you can play music from your seat. If it's dead, and no music is playing most of the bartenders will put it on free play so you can just play music at will. For free. Don't come here expecting high class service, but if you want to drink a cold beer with some fun outgoing regulars then this is your spot. Expect to engage in conversation with a stranger here it's just the environment. COVID NOTES: Masks are not required as of yet, but seating at the bar is not available. Tables are spread out and pool tables are shut down. The bartender serves you waitress style, they come to the tables, you do not approach the bar.

Walking in on a cold February day, the mood and ambiance were warm and inviting. The downstairs bar was lively, and the wood ceiling and decor definitely gave off a classic aged lodge feel. We were seated upstairs per our Yelp reservations. A collection of canteens hung on the wall, which sparked a fun conversation and history lesson for my twins. Since they're part of the CamelBak and Stanley cup generation, they hadn't seen anything like them before. My son was impressed by the size of the kids' burger, and the fries were great. The rest of us had the NY Strip. I'd say it was good, but not great--though I did appreciate the blackened seasoning and the chimichurri. The grilled asparagus, however, was simply fantastic. The showstopper was the upside-down apple pie with what seemed to be homemade vanilla ice cream. Both were generous portions and kindly comped by our server for my birthday. I ordered my standard Ranch Water, though it unfortunately didn't come in their traditional canteen cup. Overall, it's a great spot. I look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Colorado.
