Buffalo Chip Saloon

No, we are not kidding. Buffalo Chip Saloon offers real, live bull riding?on real, live bulls! If you're hankering for a good time away from the sprawl, pardner, head up north to this watering hole situated along Cave Creek's main drag. Cowboys are king here, as evidenced by its country-western dance lessons, and toe-tappin'; performances by the twangy musicians of the Pat James Band throughout the week. An authentic-looking Wagon Camp is also located out back, providing an outdoor bar and dance floor amidst hay bales, fire pits, and old-timey buildings and décor. (The attached restaurant also serves up such tasty vittles as buffalo stew and ribeye steaks.) Bronco-busters and their badonkadonk babes aren’t the only patrons here, however, as funky artist types, families, and other Valley refugees come by to play in the arcade or watch twice-weekly professional bull-riding shows.
