No Scum Allowed Saloon

A must visit landmark in White Oaks NM. The owner / bartender was great, friendly made us feel like regulars and we got a history lesson to boot. A few regulars arrived and made us feel welcomed, told some jokes made us laugh. The experience of getting there was also a must drive, 360° Mountain View’s and wide open as far as the eye can see terrain, surreal for my wife and I.

Nothing like this place anywhere else. I always stop by when in the area for a drink and slower way of living. You are welcomed whether on a bike, horse, Jeep or ranch truck and become part of the story telling around the bar, locals (a radius of about 50-60 miles is local) visit with you and become your best friend while you are sipping your beverages. Karen the proprietor, knows a lot about the town and NM history, and runs a great watering hole.

If you're in the area, be sure to wet your whistle at No Scum Allowed Saloon. Fun atmosphere, locals, and travels. We camped at Valley of Fires. It is just a short 20-minute drive from there. We enjoyed our visit with Karen and several locals while we were there.

Planning my 2023 bicycle ride through the West I found that pearl & when I finally got there it didn't disappoint. No Scums! all friendly people. Do the detour you're not even pedaling!!!

Fantastic place... Such rich history all around. Owner Karen is super nice ! Lots of folks hanging out on Sunday afternoon... Music was all my favs, don't know how she knew ??? You can buy tee shirts and such... Cold beer 🍺 or anything you can think of to drink !!! Sadly no food. 😥 The ride in is easy, not far off major road and is on a main road... Beautiful area, no words to describe this part of the Country !!! Bonus, you are in Lincoln County.... Lookup the history you ..... Fun Ghost Town... Take a look around, town is full of neat stuff !!! Thanks Karen for a Great time 🙂 (would have stayed a while longer, but)
