This well-loved southwestern restaurant and Adobe Bar are located in the Taos Inn, a historic landmark dating from the 1800s. It was once the home of beloved town doctor, Doc Martin (not to be confused with the shoe guy). Known as "the Living Room of Taos," it's been a popular gathering spot for both locals and visitors for nearly 100 years. The bar is famous for its margaritas and nightly live music will return soon.
