The Buckhorn Exchange sounds like an interesting place to have a meal :-)

It IS an interesting place. We have eaten there numerous times with
out-of-town and foreign guests. In addition to many different types of
wild game they serve delicious ranch-raised buffalo (American bison)
roasts and steaks. The stuffed animal wall decor is a bit over the top,
but adds to the western ambiance. It's quite small, in the original
building, probably 20 by 40 feet, two stories, with the bar/lounge and
its resident folk-singer upstairs.

The restaurant holds liquor license #1 in Denver, dating back to
when the city was founded to be a supply source for gold and silver mining.

The food is quite good, but I much prefer The Fort for the same type of
food with atmosphere, minus the horn-y wall decor. It also offers a
beautiful view of far-off Denver at night from its perch in the
foothills, about 15 miles from downtown.

I read that, started salivating, and went and took some dead cow out of the
freezer for dinner tonight :-)

Looks like it's a definite must see/eat on my next trip over the pond!!

Thanks for the info Gloria. Denver has been added to my next itinerary :-)

And of course, Denver is home to the Mile-Hi Skydiving Club :-)
