Description

For over 131 years, The Buckhorn Saloon has been known as a gathering place for good conversation, great food, and spectacular wildlife exhibits. Today, the saloon houses a Café, Gift Shop, Shooting Gallery, and our two museums, the Buckhorn Museum and the Texas Ranger Museum. Tickets purchased include admission to the Buckhorn Museum and Texas Ranger Museum.

The Buckhorn Museum:
The Buckhorn Museum features wildlife from all over the world, including fish from the seven seas, animals from every continent, and strange animal oddities that have been collected for over 100 years! Our exhibit halls are comprised of over 520 species of wildlife—many of which are record holders. The Buckhorn’s most prized record holder is the famous ‘78 Point Buck’. This impressive rack was sold to the saloon owner himself, Albert Friedrich, for a mere $100 dollars back in 1890. Other amazing specimens include a record 1,056-pound black marlin and a 10,000-year-old pre-historic Irish elk.

The Texas Ranger Museum
This world-class Texas Ranger exhibit offers the public the chance to see priceless historical artifacts that span more than a century of Ranger history. Notable Texas Rangers exhibited in the collection include Ray Martinez, Joaquin Jackson, John B. Armstrong, and Frank Hamer.

"Interesting interior, food, not so much"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5

If you like to see animal heads on the wall, ceiling, pretty much everywhere you can imagine, then worth a stop. We didn't go to the museum as reviews were unfavorable. Food was below average. The chili is to be avoided; heavy on chili powder and salt. Chicken fingers were good. Salad with chicken was ok except the chicken was so overcooked it was tough. Beer and cocktail prices were good. They do not sell wine.

Nice casual bar for stop during your downtown walk. Reasonable prices and they also serve American food. There’s a lot of hunting animal heads at the wall. Very Texan atmosphere . Near the Alamo plaza

This is a working restaurant, a gift shop and a museum. It is free to walk in and take pictures of the salon. The salon looks like the salons in the old western movies. The main difference is that the walls are covered with mounted stuffed animal heads. You can purchase a museum ticket to see a lot more, I was told. There is also a rather large gift shop next to the restaurant.
