Even before Colorado became a state, it was a hopping place with plenty of different communities, restaurants, and shops. While most of these original places are no longer in existence, there is a small handful in business, including this iconic bar that is famous for not only its food and drinks, but also for its alleged ghosts.
Welcome to The Buffalo Rose; the “Pulse of Golden Since 1859.”

Despite being 150 years old, changing hands between a number of different owners, and undergoing extensive renovations - the most recent of which took place in 2018 - the business’ original integrity remains the same.

In addition to maintaining its original feel, The Buffalo Rose is alleged to host the ghosts of a few of its original patrons, including a little girl…

…as well as the ghosts of men who were killed in a shootout with police.

While the thought of ghosts may sound unappealing, there is no reason to worry; the spirits at The Buffalo Rose are reported to be very friendly and go about their own business.
