The Loop was built in 1903. The restaurant got its name because it was the last stop for the trolley. The trolley looped around at the corner of Ruxton and Manitou Ave. The Loop was expanded in 1933 and has been remodeled many times since then. The room with the fireplace was the old piano bar and the rest of the building was used for dining. Wild game was killed and brought in from the mountains. They served deer, elk, cougar, wild turkey, bear, and many other wild delights, all barbecued out back. The barbecue is still there. Illegal gambling was practiced upstairs. Many gold and silver barons have eaten at this restaurant. We hope you enjoy The Loop!
