The Minturn Saloon officially has new owners, according to a press release sent Friday afternoon.
The building was listed for sale in October by longtime owners Steve Campbell and Andy Kaufman, who have been running the Saloon since 1986. Built in 1901, the building has been owned by only four different families in the past 120 years.
The release announces Anthony and Connie Mazza are the new primary owners. The husband and wife culinary duo are longtime locals who have made a name for themselves in the valley’s restaurant scene. Most recently the two started Village Bagel in Edwards in 2016 out of their home and grew it into the busy bagel bakery it is today in Edwards.
The Mazzas expressed their commitment to maintaining the Saloon’s character, which has long been a staple of the town. The Minturn Saloon is at the celebratory endpoint of the Minturn Mile, where skiers and snowboarders can access the town from Vail Mountain via the out-of-bounds run.
The Mazzas plan to operate the Minturn Saloon almost as is through the winter, and then plan on shutting down once the ski season ends for enhancements to the kitchen, bar and bathrooms.
