Description
The Yucca Bar, located in the Commercial Historic District of Carrizozo, New Mexico, opened in 1938 with a complimentary glass of whiskey or beer and a band.
The building was once featured in a national Marlboro cigarettes advertisement. Most recently, it was used in the 2010 movie The Book of Eli, a post-apocalyptic neo-western action film featuring Denzel Washington.
This Pueblo Revival-style adobe building has a concave facade with angled corners. One of the contributing buildings in the Commercial Historic District, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
