Best NM gay bar, no other one like it. They do have great shows from time to time, gay rodeo and other bear events. Saturday nights are the best, but Friday nights are getting better. Be prepared to pay a $2 cover on weekend nights --this sucks-- but still worth going to visit.

Best time
Every night from 3pm to 1am.
Crowd
Mixed crowd: older men, bears, young college guys, bigger men, lots of tourists.
Watch out
Drags and lesbians are ok, but appear from time to time when their other bar closes.

This bar has been replaced with Sidewinders. It became Sidewinders in August 2005. It is no longer the Ranch. There is never a cover now that it is Sidewinders! :-) It's been getting better and better since Mikey, the new owner, took over. Way fun on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon beer blasts. :-)
