A favorite local saloon, popular tourist destination, Hollywood movie set and historic museum, Silva's Saloon is one of the oldest family-owned and operated bars in the country. In Bernalillo, New Mexico, nearly equidistant on the corridor between burgeoning Albuquerque (named "#1 city to do Business in, Based on Cost of doing Business" by Forbes Magazine) and Historic Santa Fe (#9 tourist destination in the US) Silva's Saloon is situated for success. Bernalillo has been called "Santa Fe's new suburb" and is currently experiencing phenomenal economic growth: including fast rail service to Albuquerque (to open to Santa Fe by the end of the year) two major Native American Casinos and dozens of new National Franchises, local businesses and strip shopping centers. The Albuquerque Journal reports "To say the Saloon and Felix (Silva) Sr. are Bernalillo institutions would be understating the obvious. Silva's is a living museum . . . an establishment where 'everybody knows your name'"). Known to local media as 'A drink of history' Silva's has been family-owned and operated since the very day after repeal of Prohibition in 1933. The Property includes an authentic Old-Western bar, State Liquor License, rustic patio, pool room with antique piano, four-room apartment and security-gated rear parking. Visitors are welcomed by an endless array of photographs, authentic Native American ceremonial headdresses, antique license plates, Western and Southwestern artwork, rustic hardware and an endless array of bric-a-brac. Behind the bar and in casements is a collector's dream treasure trove of commemorative liquor decanters (including an extensive collection of Elvis decanters) bottles of 100-year-old brandy, one-of-a-kind historic beer collection and a plethora of local and regional antiques and memorabilia. Three generations of Silva family members have personally welcomed locals and patrons from around the world for nearly 75 years. Potential Owners, Investors, and those who've dreamed of owning an authentic Western Saloon along Historic Route 66, can inherit an incalculable history of built-in good will and potential for short and long-term growth.
