About
The Victoria Tavern, known locally as ‘The Vic’, was built in 1900 and originally billed as a European-style hotel featuring first class accommodations and steam heat.
Located in beautiful Historic Downtown Salida, the two-story corner entrance building has housed many businesses throughout her history. Before settling in as a tavern in 1910, she was a grocery store, meat market and billiards hall.
For nearly 30 years The Victoria has belonged to Peter Simonson. The Simonson Family, supported by an all-star team, continue to keep The Vic a beautiful historic presence and an asset to the local economy.
Long gone may be the days of 2-bit rooms and 10¢ quarts of beer, but a trace of The Vic’s victorian elegance remains, only to be trumped by her bawdy nights and stories she’ll never tell.
The Victoria Tavern is located at 143 North F Street in Historic Downtown Salida, Colorado * Phone 719.539.9003

I am in Charleston WV and have come in possession of an old brass “good for one free drink” token with the Victoria Tavern 147 North F St. Salida, COLO. on it. I was just curious about the token and maybe how long ago they were issued. Maybe I’ll come out there and get a free drink!

Hi Kevin,
I still give out those tokens. So yes, if you ever make it put this way stop in for a drink. There is a big rafting community here that travels with the water to WV. It does not surprise me that you found it.
Cheers,

Brass? I give out wooden ones.. I would love to see it. Our mailing address is 143 N. F street, Salida, CO. 81201. I will replace it with a shirt if you send it along with your size, and address.
Cheers
Wow!! My son and I have rafted the New and Gauley Rivers in WV and the Ocoee River in TN but never been to CO. Did not know you guys rafted there. You’ve sparked my interest!
