The Top Café was once at the Bisbee Divide. On their menu they offered steaks, pork and lamb chops, hamburgers and an assortment of sandwiches along with tomato and vegetable soups, potatoes, salad, hot coffee and tea. After the café closed down, the building was used to house the first television in Bisbee, the Fred Rosen TV and Bisbee residents were offered to come in any day of the week from noon until 10 p.m. to watch its programming. To hook it up, a coaxial cable was hung from the 7,000-foot-high juniper flats. Today, the Cafe's building has been turned into a private residence.
