HISTORY - NO SCUM ALLOWED SALOON

Bricks and mortar do not a business make, but if the bricks and mortar of the No Scum Allowed Saloon in White Oaks, NM have a memory then these particular bricks and mortar would have tales to tell. Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett rode the streets of White Oaks back in the late 1800's when White Oaks was a booming gold mining town. Today not much remains of the town that was once the second largest town in New Mexico Territory. When the gold ran out and the railroad failed to pass through White Oaks the town died by the 1940's.

The little brick building still stands, however and when the building that had been a lawyer's and then a surveyor's office back in the Gold Rush days was opened as a saloon by Bud Crenshaw, bullet holes soon dotted the walls. White Oaks had a reputation of being a rough place to visit. The No Scum was the center of this rough place, and the people who frequented it were local cowboys and ranchers used to living hard and fighting hard.

While today the No Scum is still frequented by local cowboys and ranchers, the rough days are gone. The
saloon has a mystique that draws people and entices them to travel the 9 miles into the mountains off Highway
54 just to have a cold beer. People have been known to drive hours just for a cold beer at the No Scum Allowed Saloon.

Today the No Scum Allowed Saloon is the center of not just the coldest beer but of more fun and entertainment
of an old fashioned wild west sort than can be found anywhere else in New Mexico. Here the past become alive
in the present. Driving those 9 miles across the railroad tracks to The No Scum is an unforgettable experience.
