The Buckhorn Exchange is an eatery full of history.

Denver’s oldest restaurant, the Buckhorn was founded in 1893 by one of legendary Buffalo Bill Cody’s band of frontiersman. Imagine being surrounded by Old West trinkets — Native American artifacts, hunting trophies and memorabilia — while salivating over a steak or wild game.

The rustic restaurant serves elk, buffalo, alligator tail and rattlesnake, along with a variety of flavorful dishes. A 5-minute drive from downtown Denver, the Buckhorn has been visited by countless celebrities over the years, including U.S. Presidents and foreign leaders. Cowboy musicians entertain guests with songs of the old west Wednesday through Saturday evenings beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Dinner is served seven days a week beginning at 5 p.m. Fridays through Sundays and 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. The Buckhorn Exchange also serves lunch.
