The Ghost Ranch Saloon gets its name from the Coal View Ghost Ranch, located west of town. It is said that the ranch is actually haunted by coal workers who died in a mining accident in the 1920s. From the moment the venue's name was decided upon, the entire picture came into clarity. Over the next year they completely transformed the stand-alone building on Seventh Street into a real old west saloon that can hold nearly 375 people and stretches about 7,000 square feet.
Modeled after the acclaimed Montana Bar, the complete vision and historical significance was realized when we found and reclaimed the actual 1896 Brunswick-Balke-Collender bar-back from Miles City, MO. Although it spent a half a century preserved in a barn, it was in perfect condition. Our builder and construction foreman, Jon Sherman, recalled that it was a perfect fit in the environment, even though the construction had begun months before the bar was discovered.
All interior design was meticulously executed by Nancy Sanford, who made the venue a perfect saloon in every detail, by making it look like it had been here in Steamboat Springs for a century.
