    Calamari (green is homemade pasta underneath)
    Sydney J.

    We are sooo glad we chose this spot for dinner. After a week of hikes we wanted a rewarding, good, hearty meal. This hit the spot Make RESERVATIONS!!! We set at the bar while we were waiting on our reservation time and its a lil warm inside, so we chose patio seating. Its all covered! Service on the patio was awesome, shout out to our waitress Rachel! We started with the calamari. OMG! Some of the best I've had. It's the rings, battered perfectly (good taste & batter stuck), served with house-made fettuccini pasta and fresh marinara sauce (bold, flavorful and a great addition). Lil drizzle of lemon aioli on the top. There was just 2 of us in our party, but we were kinda full after finishing just that. I ordered the filet mignon. It was so tended, well seasoned. Perfectly what I wanted. Potato lasagna (think scalloped but creamier) was really good!!!! Even the spinach was decent and I hate spinach. My husband got the NY strip and was very pleased it was tender and a great cut! His came with asparagus, which he shared and was cooked perfectly crisp, and mashed potatoes. Overall we would definitely dine here again when in Durango!! Honestly I chose this over 2 other steak restaurants based on website and menu visual appeal, it looked the most legit and well put together, and it did not disappoint!

    I really enjoyed my dinner at 636! I stopped by wanting to try either the grouper or the gnocchi, but I wasn't very hungry at the time. I ended up getting the gnocchi which came with a little bit of spinach, and was the PERFECT amount of food, and it was delicious! The vibe inside was also just really nice in general, and my server Braxton was very attentive. This is a great option for a date spot right on the Main Street. Had super clean bathrooms too. I was a big fan!

    Due to (for us good) staffing the owner was our hostess. She has a restaurant that completely makes sense why they are packed. The ambience was subdued inside be we opted for the outside dining alfresco style. Patio lights, heaters, and foliage that made it magical. Food was scrumptious. I didn't get the pork shoulder green chill stew but, yum. The wine braised beef tips over roasted mashed potatoes was well balanced and deep in flavor with tender meat. Head here, pricing is very reasonable given the package.

    Appetizers are huge, just an FYI! We had ahi, lettuce cups and split the halibut which was fabulous! It was all really good and we will be back.

    636 Main Ave is a lively dining experience. I arrived for the prime rib but sadly the restaurant ran out. Still, the ribeye was a good substitute and was cooked to my order. Served staff were friendly which added to the meal. I loved the crème brûlée. My Old Fashion cocktail did not live up to the hype and arrived warm quickly melting the cube. Even so it was a good place to dine

    Grouper
    J Warren R.

    The food was exceptional. Pistachio covered grouper delicious with sweet potato mashed potatoes. The pot stickers appetizer was very tasty and showed off their Asian inclination. Good wine list by the glass. Convenient location. Recommendation. Be careful with their reservation system. I made one for the dining room or patio. When I got there, I said that and the hostess would only seat us on the wet, damp, cold patio. I asked for inside seating and was told it would be an hour wait. A server came by and said, she'd been cut because no one was eating outside. Yep, We were the only ones on the patio. It seems when it rains in Durango, everyone but me, eats inside. My recommendation. Do not make a reservation. Take your chances on walk in and if its an hour wait, go somewhere else.

    My friends and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at 636 Main Ave. The service was outstanding, especially the bartender, who was incredibly attentive and made some of the best drinks I've had in a long time. The meal was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and clearly made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. The interior had a warm, welcoming vibe, and it was great to see so many happy customers around. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for top-notch service, expertly crafted cocktails, and a meal that hits all the right notes. 636 Main Ave. has become my go-to spot in Durango! This highlights the service, food, and ambiance perfectly!

    Service beyond compare. Stacey made our lunch an enjoyable memory. Outstanding dining

    636 is the spot locals love! We were there tonight, Oct.26, and everything was amazing. We had the beef tips and ribeye, the mezcal drink and a Manhattan. Dan was our server, he is great! 636 never disappoints, and it's a great atmosphere. Bring back the gnocchi! We will always recommend this place to visitors.

We started with the Bavarian pretzel, which was served with beer cheese and mustard. It was delicious and fresh! I then had the southwestern burger, which is always a favorite of mine because of the green chilis. The burgers are always cooked nicely (I order medium) and I was able to substitute a side salad, which was easily one of the best side salads I've ever had at a brewery. We are doing dry January, so no beers this time, but had a lovely hop water that they brew there and even left with a growler full. Highly recommend Steamworks for an authentic Durango experience or if you're just trying to catch a game or hangout with friends. It definitely has fun, local brewery vibes. We will definitely be back!

    There are a lot of breweries to choose from in Durango, and during our family vacation we tried…read morequite a few of them. One of our favorites was Steamworks Brewery in downtown Durango. The location was perfect for us because we were able to easily walk there from our hotel. We were lucky enough to get outdoor seating, which made the experience even better. It was great to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Durango weather, and people watch while having dinner. We decided to do a beer flight so we could sample a variety of their beers before committing to a full pint. It was a great way to try different styles, and we each ended up finding a favorite. Everything we tried was really good. My husband liked their Buffalo wings and whiskey burger, I enjoyed the seared tuna bowl, and our kids liked their pizza. It is definitely a busy and popular spot, especially during peak vacation times, so I would recommend putting your name in early and expecting there could be a wait. In our opinion it was worth it. Steamworks had a great casual vibe that worked well for both families and adults wanting to enjoy a brewery experience. The downtown location adds to the charm, and it definitely felt like one of those must visit spots while in Durango.
