Reviews - Caballo Tavern
Reviews summary
Set just off Highway 187 in Arrey near Caballo Lake and Percha Dam, this rustic old‑west tavern doubles as a liquor store and local hangout. It’s known for cheap, cold beer, a long wooden bar, fireplace, pool table and a covered, dog‑friendly patio. Patrons enjoy the character, TVs for games and occasional live music, but service and cleanliness are inconsistent and the food menu is limited—kitchen closures have left guests without meals. Best for road‑trippers and budget‑minded locals seeking authentic, down‑to‑earth atmosphere.

If you like a rustic old west style ' tavern, this is it. The servers are very friendly and attentive and the prices are moderate $3-4.00 for a beer). It is clean, even the restroom, and big enough for lots of people. There 's a fireplace to cuddle around and tables, plus a long, old wooden bar. From I-25 take exit 59 and go east about 2 miles. It 's on the right. Maybe I 'll see you there. View all feedback.
What Armando Villa dislikes about Caballo Tavern:
It's great that this restaurant is conveniently located near both Caballo Lake and Percha Dam State Parks. I visited on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM with my dog Michi. The establishment was empty and quite dark inside. I asked if Michi could come in, and the bartender directed me to the covered patio outside.

This place is definitely worth a stop if you're passing through and looking for a drink. We were headed north and needed to find a TV to catch the NBA Finals, but as anyone familiar with this part of the desert knows, options are limited. Then we discovered this gem. While the food selection isn't extensive, they have plenty of cold, affordable beers—our two drinks cost us under $6. The bartender was kind enough to put the game on for us, and the other customers were generally friendly. If you're looking to get a feel for a local hangout when they want to quench their thirst, this is the place to go.

Great place, but tough to find. It's not in Truth or Consequences. It's on Highway 187 in Arrey. It's both a bar and a liquor store. They have a .50 pool table, cheap beer prices, great character, and the bartender we had was great. A hidden gem if want some real local flavor.
Awful experience. The bartender, Kenny or something like that, was incredibly rude—one of the worst I've dealt with in a long time. We managed to get some drinks, but then we were told to leave because the kitchen staff had quit and there was no food available. After that, the bartender just went out back to hang out with a friend. It was obvious he didn’t want to work. I definitely do not recommend this place.
This is a welcoming and friendly bar close to Percha Dam State Park. They offer a great variety of beers and plenty of options for liquor and mixed drinks.

Great service and drinks, I will come back.
Great place in the middle of nowhere. A bit quiet but a welcome sight.
It's great that this restaurant is conveniently located near both Caballo Lake and Percha Dam State Parks. I visited on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM with my dog Michi. The establishment was empty and quite dark inside. I asked if Michi could come in, and the bartender directed me to the covered patio outside. The weather was lovely, in the low 80s with a gentle breeze—an ideal setting for enjoying a beer and a classic hamburger while listening to a local band. Unfortunately, that pleasant experience didn't materialize. Instead, I found the place to be unpleasantly dirty and lacking any vision for how it could truly shine. Also, a Budweiser beer was priced at $3.50, which isn't as good a deal as other reviewers have suggested.
Charged me an additional 3dollars to run my card ,without my knowledge in advanced! I call that theft .would never stop in again.
It's a rural bar, not a fancy big city bar. So fruity drinks and big town snobby drinks, you will not find here.

It's nice that this restaurant is located near Caballo Lake and Percha Dam state parks. I visited on a Saturday afternoon at 2:00 PM with my dog, Michi. The place was empty and quite dark. When I asked if Michi could join me, the bartender directed me to the covered terrace outside. The weather was lovely, in the low 80s with a gentle breeze, making it an ideal setting for enjoying a beer and a classic hamburger while listening to a local band. Unfortunately, that experience didn't materialize. Instead, the place was dirty and uninviting, showing a total lack of vision for what it could be. Additionally, a Budweiser beer bottle cost $3.50, which, contrary to what other reviewers have stated, isn't a great price.
Great bartender and drinks and prices!
Charming and welcoming spot near Percha Dam State Park. They offer a great selection of beers as well as a wide variety of alcoholic and mixed drinks.
Great service, good prices and friendly people!
It was quite hot and humid; I think the air conditioning needs to be replaced. However, they did have ice-cold beer available.
