Green Onion is exactly what you'd expect in a sports bar: lots of
beer, booze, smoke, rowdy sports fans and, of major importance, lots
of televisions -- 11 to be exact, including a 60-inch set used
during parties for the Super bowl, the World Series, NBA playoffs and
other major televised sports events. Two of the sets are hooked up
to the National Trivia Network, which runs half-hour trivia games of
15 questions in which players compete at no charge against other
bars around the country
Green Onion Sports Bar A staple in Santa Fe, the Green Onion is where sports
fans of all sorts gather to watch games and where local
sports teams meet after their own games. The Green Onion is
truly a local bar, even a neighborhood bar. Founded 25 years
ago by an Irishman, the Green Onion is considered the only
traditional Irish bar in Santa Fe where St. Patrick's Day is
treated like a national holiday with a huge party featuring
bagpipes and other live music and the usual culinary
suspects -- corned beef and cabbage and Irish stew. The rest
of the year, the Green Onion serves classic pub food
including hot and cold sandwiches, pizza and excellent
hamburgers as well as pretty darned good New Mexican dishes.
The Green Onion is open Monday through Saturday until 2 AM
and Sundays until midnight. The kitchen stays open until
9:30 PM on weeknights and 8:30 PM Saturday and Sunday. Pink Adobe You'll meet everyone in town at this
long-standing landmark that's the "essential Santa Fe
experience" for enthusiasts who come to Santa Fe.
Rosalea Murphey has owned this restaurant for 50 years. The
several dining rooms have fireplaces and works by artists
that include Rosalea herself. The steak Dunnigan, smothered
in green chili and mushrooms, and the savory shrimp
Louisianne--fat and deep-fried crispy--are among the
perennial Continental, New Orleans creole, and New Mexican
dishes served here. The apple pie drenched in rum sauce is a
perennial favorite. El Farol
Owner David Salazar sums up his food
in one word: "Spanish." Order a classic entrée
like paella or make a meal from the 20 different tapas--from
tiny fried squid to wild mushrooms. Dining is indoors and
outdoors at relaxed El Farol. People push back the chairs
and start dancing at around 9:30. Catamount Bar & Grill The popular Catamount Bar & Grill is a
literal stomping ground for the 20- to 30-year-old set who come to
dance, dine and maybe meet the love of their lives in a dark, Irish
tavern-like atmosphere. The Catamount features live music on
weekends -- primarily rock, blues and jazz, mostly by local talent
(from Santa Fe, Albuquerque or Taos) and occasionally a national
band on tour. A cover charge, generally between $2 to $5, will get
you in the door. Then it's up to you to find space on the packed
tile dance floor. The grill offers standard bar fare, including
chicken breasts, hamburgers, buffalo wings and nachos, while the bar
bills its Margaritas as a specialty and carries locally made
microbrews from Wolf Canyon Brewing Company (see subsequent entry).
Upstairs is a billiards room with six 9-foot Brunswick pool tables
that rent for $8 to $10 an hour, depending on the time of day, plus
$2 for each additional person. Smoking is allowed throughout the
establishment, including cigars, which are for sale in the billiards
room. The Catamount stays open until 2 AM Monday through Saturday
and midnight on Sunday. Rocky's Bar & Grill Rocky's is a family-owned lounge that
is part sports bar, part dance bar. Its four television sets
are tuned to sports channels at all times and are visible
from most corners of the saloon, even by the pool tables,
which rent out for $1 per person per game. The owners host
parties during big sporting events with food and drink
specials such as $1.99 super nachos and $2 pitchers of beer
for parties of six or more. On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, the bar turns
into a cabaret with live local bands playing rock, blues or
R&B for a $2 to $3 cover charge, depending on who's
performing. The crowd changes with the music -- younger
people for alternative rock, baby boomers for blues.
Sporting events draw all age groups. Rocky's tends to
attract more locals than tourists because it's not downtown.
As a result, it has the feel of a neighborhood bar with lots
of regulars. As the name implies, Rocky's Bar & Grill
also serves food, specializing in burgers and New Mexican
dishes. Rocky's is open Monday through Thursday until
midnight and Friday and Saturday until 2 AM. It's closed on
Sunday.
