About Painted Lady Bed & Brew:



Not your Grandma's B&B, the story of the Painted Lady Bed & Brew is one that is shrouded in mystery. Originally constructed in 1881, the property has quite the colorful past. Many a knife fight and shootout are just some of the echoes of its sordid past. New Mexico’s most famous sons, Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett, are purported to have once been patrons of this former saloon and brothel. Tales of buried money, hidden rooms, and restless spirits await. The Painted Lady Bed & Brew is featured in Haunted Hotels & Ghostly Getaways of New Mexico, Ghost Stories of Central New Mexico, Unforgettable Ghost Story Interviews, Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures and Hotel Paranormal, Twin Paranormal, A&E’s Psychic Kids and That's Some Scary Sh!t.
