Trophy Room
The taxidermal animals at Trophy Room help to create an ambiance that toes the line between a lodge and a natural-history museum. In addition to a bighorn sheep and a bear, the space includes terrariums with everything from deer to foxes. The bar actually rests on a line of these terrariums, allowing visitors to enjoy their drinks beside posed scenes with pheasants and iconic copies of National Geographic.
The dedication to hunting culture extends to the menu, which features hearty burgers and sliders with buffalo, elk, and venison patties. Familiar finger foods round out the selection and include beer-battered onion rings and hand-cut tortilla chips with roasted-tomato salsa. Bartenders augment meals by siphoning off sudsy pints of domestic and imported microbrews.
Between bites and drinks, Trophy Room invites guests to demonstrate their skills on red-felted pool tables, dartboards, or scattered arcade games. The bar stages free Texas hold’em tournaments throughout the week, and high-definition televisions and a jukebox keep patrons entertained with live sports broadcasts and hidden birdcall tracks.
