High Sierra
Bar and Grill




Welcome to High Sierra Bar & Grill
in the El Dorado Hotel, Terlingua Ghost Town, Texas
Terlingua is the most fascinating and beautifully situated "ghost" town in Texas. Once a thriving mining community with as many as 2000 inhabitants, it was abandoned shortly after World War ll.
Since the 1970's the town has been partially restored and repopulated. A thriving colony of artists, artisans, musicians, river and mountain guides, chefs, entrepreneurs, and "local characters" live and work together to survive in this untamed mountainous desert.
Some of them frequent the High Sierra Bar & Grill, and they'd like to get to know you. Good food in a comfortable air conditioned dining area, thirst slaking beverages, breathtaking balcony view of the Chisos, exciting and interesting conversation with some real life characters... That's what you'll find at the High Sierra.
Terlingua is adjacent to Big Bend National Park, and it is a great jumping off point for adventure of all descriptions. Plan your excursions with your guide in the spacious dining area, or get directions from the High Sierra bartender Shirley, manager Anna, or patrons like Dr. Doug, they're all local folk, Texas friendly and happy to help.
Click on Local Services to find restaurants, gift shops, convenience stores, and outfitters all within an easy 5 minute walk. Stay at the El Dorado Hotel, enjoy the High Sierra Bar & Grill one night, you'll never want to leave.
