“KIVA: a subterranean room believed to be used for spiritual ceremonies by the ancient Pueblo peoples of the southwest…”
Constructed in the early ‘80s, the now legendary la Kiva cave bar and restaurant resides on approximately 15 acres of prime real estate right on Hwy 170 at Terlingua Creek, at the center of Terlingua, TX, a great desert vacation destination just outside of Big Bend National Park.
la Kiva was the brainchild of Gilbert Felts, an irreverent and eccentric Texan given to excess who passed away in 1989. This sprawling bar has been owned by Gil’s nephew, Glenn Felts, for the last 17 years. A party mecca for locals and a “must-see” for tourists, la Kiva is where you’ll find great live music, cold beer, stout drinks and award-winning barbeque, at the place GQ magazine calls “the #1 most bizarre bar you must visit before you die”!
WE'RE FAMOUS!!
Glenn Felts and la Kiva have been featured in 2 documentary films,
“Ghost Town: 24 Hours in Terlingua” and “Barbecue, A Texas Love Story”.la Kiva was also named “one of the 50 best bars in America” by Men’s Journal magazine. Great Kiva reviews were reported in the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, the LA Times Travel section, Texas Monthly, Texas Highways and countless worldwide travel guidebooks, not to mention all those Biker rags, too!
