I ordered a blackened chicken sandwich and salad with vinaigrette. It was delicious. Singer from 5 to 9pm on a Tuesday which was a nice surprise. Couldn't find the bathrooms. You do have to climb stairs FYI. read more

Awesome Smoked Chicken Tacos! My son and I stayed in Durango, CO on our trip from Monterey CA to San Antonio, TX. Durango is a very cool spot. Balcony Bar & grill was a perfect spot to kick back and enjoy a couple beers, and a couple amazing Smoked Chicken Tacos while we chatted about our trip! The server was great and the atmosphere was buzzing. Very cool, laid back vibe. Definitely will visit again when we pass through next time! read more

Great spot! Great music! Walked past this place several times, curious, and so glad we checked it out. We will be back for sure. Oh, and the prices are amazing! read more

Good food, great beer, the prices are pretty normal for the food. I would highly recommend their spinach artichoke dip, it is amazing! The presentation is a bit different and maybe even "off-putting" but the flavor is something else! When we came it was open seating and the server was amazing and very helpful. I would expect nothing less for future service. And lastly the rooftop atmosphere is amazing. You get a beautiful view of the mountains, as well as the historic Durango buildings. 4.7/5 read more

My wife and I were visiting our son and his fiancée and came here for lunch on a Friday. It is located on the main downtown street and, you guessed it, is an upstairs establishment. It was a hot day, even at a table under an umbrella. It was busy. The young female server was very nice and attentive. The women had frozen margaritas and the men had IPAS. The beer was good but the women both said they did not really notice any tequila in them. A burger, two shrimp dishes, and a chicken sandwich(me) were ordered. The food took unusually long to come out. My wife did not think that she received enough shrimp but enjoyed them. I liked my sandwich and the fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. Though the table area and bar is not that large, they have a stage for live music. I recommend Balcony Bar and Grill. read more

Just arrived in Durango, Colorado? Make this rooftop bar your first stop for a cold beer and great food! Hubby and I had a green chili burger the first time and the second time, an awesome turkey club and turkey melt. Both were beyond excellent! Better yet- side salad was green, fresh, and topped with artichoke hearts! Dressing was jalapeño vinaigrette delicious on the salad AND on the club sandwich! Look out over Main St- and catch some entertainment! read more

Thought the fried catfish sounded exciting. I love fried catfish, however, while the onion rings were excellent, and the batter for the catfish was good, the catfish itself was soft and mushy. Awful! read more

Balcony Bar And Grill - This is what happens when you order fried pickles!! They were the best ever! - Bars Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Great rooftop bar! Beers were tasty and the view was perfect! We can't wait to visit again!

Visited on a Saturday evening while on vacation. I enjoyed the lively local band with some wings and local beer. The service was friendly and would've stayed longer if I wasn't looking forward to the springs. Highly recommend when looking to have dinner and intake some fresh air in town. read more

Great food, great atmosphere! No wait, food came quick, and it was delicious! They had live music the evening we went, it was great too!

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Service was very good. I got the southwest burger and it was absolutely delicious. My wife got the grilled chicken sandwich and she said it was amazing. We also had an order of buffalo wings and they were big, juicy, and delicious. read more

Missing the mark on a great location. Bar food with crappy service second time here and both times service was lacking absolutely unfortunate as the view is great as its rooftop establishment . We got our burger. They forgot about my salad forgot about the side of dressing for the tater tots. Burger was OK a bit dry tater tots. I have to say we're pretty good not greasy jalapeño vinaigrette tasted no jalapeño flavor whatsoever.. and I forgot to say they didn't know how to make a Michelada read more

Great service, ample portions-especially the tasty catfish and sweet potato fries along with nice views of Durango!!

I have to call this place out for seriously being the best Buffalo Chicken Taco's and onion rings in my LIFE. If I had to pick the top 5 meals in my life, this is in that top 5 and I can't think of the other 4, ain't no lie. I left slappin my belly! So.....much flavor and spice that went POW, my mouth and belly were happy. Hats of to the cook today 9/8. The waiter was super cool and attentive! I'm from out of town, saw some eye candy on the balcony as I was walking by and was like this looks like a nice place. Glad I stopped in. Well played!!! read more

Balcony Bar And Grill - Buffalo Chicken Taco's - Bars Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Overlooking the busy street below, we were seated on the rail above watching the weekend crowd looking for a great place to eat. Little did they know it was just one flight up! We were served quickly and the food arrived lightning fast! The sandwich had thin sliced bread, with thick cut turkey and chillies with just enough "punch" to fill my hot cravings. The sweet potato fries arrived fresh & hot !! Can you say Happy Tom?? The only negative was the Wasp nest and the absolutely filthy shared bathrooms. Staff was great too. Will we be back, oh yeah, really good lunch! read more

Balcony Bar And Grill - Over looking Main Ave in Durango! Great little bar!!! - Bars Near Me - Durango, Colorado

It's where all the noise is! We were walking around Durango and heard a band playing. After three nights of this we finally figured out it was this place. So we checked it out. It's open seating so you have to find your own space. It's like one big deck with a stage in the corner. Perfect for summer time. The servers are quick to come to you though and the food and drinks come out fast. The beer was okay but the food is really good! It's typical bar food but the ingredients are high quality. Great experience overall. read more

Nice spot. Food was good. Nice vibe and live music. The drinks were good and service was great. I would do it again.

Awesome little bar grille on the second story in the heart of downtown Durango. Perfect drinks. The nicest bartender (Roberta). And a great appetizer. The most perfect spot we could've stumbled upon. read more

Bar Food is awesome and the atmosphere is very cool. Wonderful place for a cocktail outside

I had a take out order from Balcony just recently. One of our customers, Jared recommended something's to us. I had not realized how good their food was AND it's all homemade from scratch! I had the catfish and their smoked wings. I was NOT disappointed and will definitely go back! Great job guys! read more

Don't waste your time. Tourist trap with horrible service, rude wait staff and mediocre bar food. We are locals and we won't be back.

Great staff! Great music! Great food! A hidden gem!! Sitting on the roof top the views are as great as the breeze! read more

This was my first visit to Balcony Bar and Grill. We arrived at 7pm. The rooftop was not too overcrowded for a Thursday evening. What seemed like to local bar goers joked that we could seat ourselves when there was plenty of obvious signs to wait to be seated. Our server was very prompt with getting us our Balcony peach tea, which was way too strong for us( once the way to generous amount of ice melted it helped of course.) Water was self serve in an orange Gatorade cooler. We put in our order for fried pickles and luckily placed our meal orders at the same time. The whole vibe of the place was what you would expect out of a typical alley bar. Menus looked as if they had just been taken out of the trash. They were sticky and full of stains, just like our table. Unfortunately we didn't get our food very prompt either. Took at least 45 min for a basket of fried pickles( the only positive here, they tasted amazing) and an hour for our two meals. A basic BBQ burger, and a Buffalo chx taco and a BBQ taco. Burger bun tasted stale and was not toasted. Taco shells were hard and very chewy. Would give this place 1/5 if not for the pickles. It is getting carried for the sheer fact of being a rooftop bar in downtown Durango. Save your money, prices are a bit out there. read more

In pretentious, but Great place! Many other restaurants were closed on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch but we came upon this by chance. I had some fantastic buffalo wings that were smoked then dipped in buffalo sauce! They were great. my wife had a salad with a cilantro jalapeño dressing that was fantastic. My son had chicken strips and enjoyed them. Our bartender/waitress... Joni? Jonna? I wish I had gotten her name.. She was great and on point. Very Friendly to some "out of towners". We talked about dogs! read more

God I wish I could give this place zero stars! Waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order--but it took my husband to practically trip the server to get her attention--otherwise I fear we'd still be waiting... I ordered a small Caesar and a TOP SHELF Margarita. Caesar: the worst I've ever eaten--drenched in grated cheese. Dressing was flavorless! But it matched the margarita! First, she brought a "house"--not the top shelf I ordered. And, like the Caesar --tasteless and was almost completely water! She got the order wrong and it was AWFUL! Oh yeah, I got my Caesar served with a plastic fork--and not the strong kind of plastic either! read more

Food and Service was amazing! If we're ever back in Durango, it will be one of our stops for sure!

Location, scenery, and food quality usually can overcome so-so waitstaff and customer service, but above average bar food and seat yourself service isn't enough to compensate for waving down overworked and unhappy wait staff. Nonetheless, this open air place is small but is in a great location overlooking downtown. Laid back atmosphere with a dive bar feel. Don't know what kind of place runs out of fries, but the Buffalo chicken and chicken tacos were excellent. Grilled cheese for kids is a large portion and super tasty. Homemade chips are good too. Decent selection of beers but don't expect much help from the underage waitress on recommendations (for obvious reasons). read more

Came in during Snowdown to try some appetizers and possibly food. We asked the waitress what she recommended and started off with the Spinach Artichoke dip based off her recommendation. We were going to try it, and then go from there with our order. ABSOLUTELY the worst spinach artichoke dip i have ever had! It was DISGUSTING! The little bit of shredded cheese on top had been melted, yet the dip itself was super cold! To make matters worse it tasted like i was dipping chips into a jar of salt! We decided to finish our beers, and go elsewhere. The atmosphere here was awesome and the rooftop is great, but when the recommended item is that horrendous it was a clear sign for us to go eat somewhere else! If you come here don't get that dip! read more

Such a fun atmosphere. Great cocktails, snacks and views. Good music and friendly staff. Very nice way to finish the day! read more

6pm on a Saturday night this place was hopping. Service was great and so was the food. Not sure how they do it with such a tiny kitchen. Been here a few times and will certainly be back. The patio overlooks Main Street but we enjoy sitting at the bar. So many places to try downtown give this one a look. read more

I've been here many, many times. Great casual atmosphere with a fantastic view of the town, good service, decent drinks, and fun live music.

Great service and excellent tacos. Have been here a number of times and have never been disappointed

Food and service was great. The turkey melt hit the spot and salads with their homemade dressing was great.
