The little brick building still stands, however, and when the building that had been a lawyer’s and then a surveyor’s office back in the Gold Rush days was opened as a saloon by Bud Crenshaw, bullet holes soon dotted the walls. White Oaks had a reputation of being a rough place to visit. The No Scum was the center of this rough place, and the people who frequented it were local cowboys and ranchers used to living hard and fighting hard. While today the No Scum is still frequented by local cowboys and ranchers, the rough days are gone. The saloon has a mystique that draws people and entices them to travel the 9 miles into the mountains off Highway 54 just to have a cold beer. People have been known to drive hours just for a cold beer at the No Scum Allowed Saloon. The present owner of the saloon, Tony Marsh, was one of those people. He and his wife had been to Las Vegas and on their way back to Texas Tony mentioned that he would like a cold beer. What he failed to mention was that the cold beer was 300 miles out of the way. That day the owner, Grady, mentioned that he might sell and it came to pass that Tony bought the saloon. Today the No Scum Allowed Saloon is the center of not just the coldest beer but of more fun and entertainment of an old fashioned wild west sort than can be found anywhere else in New Mexico. Here the past becomes alive in the present. Driving those 9 miles across the railroad tracks to The No Scum Allowed Saloon is an unforgettable experience.
