The Historic Crown King Saloon is located high in the Bradshaw Mountains of Arizona on Senator Highway. There are just over 100 full time residents and many weekend cabin owners. In addition to the Crown King Saloon & Eatery, Main Street consists of The Mill Restaurant, MJ's Cafe, The General Store and Post Office and the Crown King Fire Department. A one room schoolhouse is located nearby and currently has 6 students enrolled. There are many rental cabins within walking distance.
In the late 1800's, Crown King had thousands of residents and was named after the Crowned King Mine. There were over 500 structures during the mining era including boardinghouses, saloons, several general stores and restaurants. A railroad was built in 1904 to help mining operations but due to lack of water and the high transporting costs to process material, the railroad was abandoned in 1926. The old railroad bed is still used today as the main access road to Crown King.
A man by the name of Tom Anderson was a miner at the Crowned King Mine and Mill before it closed. Shortly after the turn of the century, he built a butcher shop in the downtown area where Main Street is now located. In 1916, he moved, or had moved the Saloon from Oro Belle, and other old mining town between Crown King and Lake Pleasant, to Crown King where it continues to be recognized and one of the oldest continuously operated Saloons in Arizona.
The actual date the saloon was built in Oro Belle is unknown but we can guess around 1890's. We do know that a man by the name of "Burro" John Revello ran the whorehouse and saloon and that it was quite the popular place for women, cards and drinks. Burro John later married one of the prostitutes and moved into a home in the Humbug Creek area. Currently, the Saloon is still known for cold drinks but also serves up some great grub as well. The upstairs is closed to the public but leaves a lot to the imagination as the windows are still open and may have a couple of ladies waiting to be seen. The Crown King Saloon is full of photos showing the history of Crown King and we welcome you to come on in and take a look around. The Saloon offers live music on most weekens as well, check here for artists: Click Here
