A 100-year-old building that for the last half century has housed one of the most popular taverns in northwestern Colorado is being listed for sale for around $572,000.
The two-story structure at 420 Yampa Avenue comprises 12,500 square feet on a less than one-acre site in downtown Craig, across the street from the Craig Rural Fire Protection District station.
In 1950 the Mathers Bar was established at the site, becoming a regional institution that also includes a steakhouse. The combined bar and restaurant have also become also known through the year for offering free Thanksgiving dinners.
Renovated in 2019, the building includes a patio, 6,000 square-foot basement, and parking space for up to 50 vehicles.
Listed for sale with the Craig-based Cornerstone Realty, the structure is classified as a Class C building.
