2 Best Bars in Bisbee, Southern Arizona

Established in 1902, the St. Elmo Bar is decorated with an assortment of the past and present, including a 1922 official map of Cochise County that hangs next to a neon beer sign. Locals and tourists hang out here beginning at lunchtime. The jukebox plays during the week, but on weekends live bands rock the house with sounds ranging from rock to rhythm-and-blues.

Located in the historic Muheim building, the beautifully renovated Stock Exchange Saloon serves food along with libations, and has a pool table, shuffleboard, and—on many nights—live music ranging from local jazz, rock and blues to national acts (the place has great acoustics). The 1914 stock board still hangs on the wall.
