The Pink Adobe and Dragon Room
Standing at the heart of Santa Fe’s historic Barrio De Analco neighborhood, the ‘oldest block in the US,’ is the landmark Pink Adobe restaurant and Dragon Room Bar. The sister venues were founded in 1944 by Rosalea Murphy, a Santa Fe local who embodied the city’s spirit in her independent nature and vibrant personality. As an early advocate for women’s rights, a painter, an art dealer, and a chef, Rosalea had a rolodex of Santa Fe somebody’s that she frequently hosted for dinner parties featuring her home-cooked Creole meets Southwest dishes. These dishes became the basis for the restaurant and bar that was once a favorite haunt for local and internationally renowned artists like Robert Redford, Mark Rothko, Georgia O’Keeffe, and John Sloan. The Pink Adobe’s 80th Anniversary is the first milestone for the new owners of the beloved restaurant.
