Stockyards Sarsaparilla

Located in the Historic National Saddlery Building in the heart of Stockyards City, Stockyards Sarsaparilla has the look and feel of an old-fashioned candy and soda shop. Nostalgia candies and nearly 300 varieties of vintage sodas are in-stock, along with homemade fudge, and a wide selection of western-themed gifts, apparel and sourvenirs. Stop by and enjoy free samples of fresh homemade fudge, flavored Arbuckle Coffee and more. Ask about our free soda tastings which give our guests an opportunity to sample unique one-of-a-kind sodas.

Stockyards Sarsaparilla is part of the Historic Stockyards City – a thriving district just south of the Oklahoma River and a few miles west of downtown Oklahoma City. Next door to the famed Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, you will find unique items ranging from Route 66 souvenirs to wildrags.

Sarsaparilla Bar

Only a small number of these historic bars survived and have been rescued. This bar and mirror were located in Philadelphia, PA, sitting, disassembled, in a backroom of an old historic building. The bar, mirror and its accoutrements were created by Brunswick-Balke-Collender in Dubuque, Iowa in 1895. The front bar is 18 feet long. The matching side backs, cigar and wine cabinets and supporting display totals 22 feet while the whole piece stands 9 feet tall. The ornate carvings and arched cabinetry stir the soul and spark dreams of the way life must have been in the bar’s glory days. If you look long enough in the mirror and you might catch a glimmer of its historic past captured in the massive glass.

Although the exact history of the bar is as unknown as the secrets it keeps, it is believed that after a time out west, the piece ended up in a bar on the Florida coast. The smoky little place was a favorite of Al Capone’s when he was visiting his mother. There is no telling what the mirror witnessed there.
