Whether you’re just passing through “Sun City” or you’re a native El Pasoan, you need a reliable spot to wet your whistle.
We’ve done the research for you, and this article divulges the top spots to rehydrate and refuel, including a couple of hidden gems.
1. Iron Horse Saloon
Step through a humble doorway and into a “biker-oriented” bar that is a favorite local hangout. Casual dress is the name of the game, and the bartenders pour a stiff drink with a smile. Stick around to shoot the breeze and play a game (or three) of pool. There’s a healthy collection of tables that are well-spaced.
The food menu is usually limited to burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs, but it does sometimes change. There’s also a lock on the toilet paper dispenser, and that was before Covid!

2. King’s X
King’s X is the place you go to eat, drink, and be merry. There’s a long list of fun activities to keep you occupied, including pool, darts, karaoke, and even shuffleboard.
Check the bar’s event calendar to see when live music is playing, and enjoy drink specials all day, every day. King’s X has something for everyone, including live sports on numerous televisions. Food is available next door at Lucy’s until 2 am, so you can satisfy your breakfast food cravings at any time of day.

3. Player’s Billiards & Night Club
If you enjoy the nightlife, Player’s Billiards & Night Club should top your list of evening destinations. The bar is equipped with more than a dozen competition pool tables, and you can also play darts and foosball.
Make sure you stop by on a weekend night for dancing and a live DJ. Regardless of when you come in, there are daily drink specials, so you can always get a good deal. The wings also come highly recommended.

4. The Tap
Fondly labeled a “downtown dive,” The Tap is an authentic favorite that the locals gravitate toward. The drinks are inexpensive, and the ambiance is festive. What’s not to like? The Tap also gets street cred for pure longevity. The owner first opened the doors in 1956.
The crowd is diverse, so you won’t find a heavy biker presence, but you are still likely to see some friendly faces. In addition to being a bar, The Tap is also a Mexican restaurant. Make sure you try the nachos!

5. Mulligans Shot Bar
Known primarily as a sports bar, bikers who like to watch the Sunday game and other sporting events flock to Mulligans Shot Bar. There’s also live music on the monthly calendar, so if you’re a rock or metal fan, you’ll enjoy the bands.
The bartenders are known for their friendly attitude, and the drinks are reasonably priced. There’s no food available, but there is a tattoo shop adjacent to the bar if you end up feeling spontaneous.
