The private rooms are awesome if you're not a thru hiker... AND if you are! The people (and dog)…read morewho own it/run it are super friendly. If you don't like dogs, just be aware that a very calm and sweet dog walks the halls freely to ensure guests are comfortable and happy with their stay. The bar/kitchen is open use for guests to use and there's a hiker box behind the bar. (They do not serve or sell, in other words, plenty of other places nearby for that if you want!) The Avon is within walking distance (lol) of everything you need in Silverton. Would definitely stay here again, whether I'm hiking in or driving in to visit Silverton.

Unfortunately, we left disappointed with our stay. We paid nearly $300 for our room, and while…read morechecking in, we overheard rooms being offered in the $145-$180 range. More specifically, we heard what was described as "the best room in the place" offered to the gentleman checking in directly before us for $182. For nearly $300 a night, we expected a much better experience. Our toilet was also clogged, which certainly didn't help. I reached out to the hotel directly before posting a review because, as locals, I wanted to give them an opportunity to address our concerns. The response explained dynamic pricing and that rooms can range from $49-$385, depending on the room and time of year. I completely understand how dynamic pricing works, but that explanation didn't really address why we had just paid nearly $300 while hearing "the best room in the place" offered for $182 during the same check-in period. I was also disappointed that the clogged toilet was characterized as something that was "easy to miss by housekeeping." At this price point, a functioning bathroom feels like a pretty basic expectation. We really wanted to like this place and hoped, as locals, it could be somewhere we would return to or recommend to others. Unfortunately, between the price, the room issue, and the response to our concerns, the overall experience left us feeling like the value simply wasn't there.

The ambiance is industrial with mountain town accents. I had the bison lasagna - I highly recommend it for a different take on this pasta dish and don't worry, it's not gamey. My 17YO also fell in love with their mushroom soup - if it's on the menu, don't pass it up!

We had a reservation for a 20 person group. The restaurant charged our group an enormous $1,500…read moreroom rent charge on top of the cost of food and beverages.

If I hadn't had a big lunch, I definitely be diving into a pizza. I guess I'll save it for next time.

Instead of being welcomed, we were immediately interrogated by the woman at the front, then questioned again by the bartender. We were seated and left sitting there for 30 minutes without a single person taking our order or offering service. Our waitress even apologized and admitted she "hates that she can't help us," making it obvious the staff had intentionally decided not to serve us. Throughout the entire time, my service dog was exactly where a service dog should be--quietly lying under the table at my feet, causing absolutely no disruption. After waiting half an hour, I finally asked if we were ever going to be served. That's when we were told the issue was my service dog. When I questioned this, the bartender's response was to tell me I "didn't need an attitude." I've written maybe five Yelp reviews in my life, but this experience deserves to be shared. The way we were treated was humiliating, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable. It felt like we were being singled out simply because I have a disability and rely on a service animal. All six of us got up and left because of how we were treated. Small businesses deserve support when they treat people with respect. This business did the opposite. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I sincerely hope no one else has to experience the kind of discrimination we did.

From the moment we walked through the door, we were welcomed with open arms. We had our medical service dog with us, and instead of questioning us, the staff immediately commented on how incredibly well-behaved he was--even joking that they wanted to keep him because he was such a good boy. The owner came over to introduce himself, made us feel genuinely welcome, and even treated us to a special whiskey dessert drink that was absolutely delicious. The food was fantastic, the cocktails were expertly made, the wine selection was excellent, and our kids had a great time. To top it all off, there was an old-school piano player creating the perfect atmosphere. It was one of those dining experiences that reminds you what true hospitality feels like. If you're visiting Silverton, do yourself a favor and eat here. We won't go anywhere else the next time we're in town. Highly, highly recommend!

We ordered the carne asada tacos, pastor pork tacos, a cup of tortilla soup, fresh homemade chips with salsa and queso, and the Mexican street corn. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and served in generous portions. The tortilla soup was hands down some of the best I've ever had rich, comforting, and packed with flavor! The homemade chips were fresh and crispy, and the queso was a perfect complement. The hot sauce had a wonderfully roasted flavor that was unique and delicious. The Mexican street corn was a little different than what I'm used to it seemed to be made with Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise but it was still tasty. The tacos were huge and loaded with meat, making for an incredibly satisfying and very filling meal. Overall, we had wonderful, friendly service and enjoyed every bite. If you're looking for flavorful food, generous portions, and a great dining experience in Silverton, El Bandito is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

Such a hidden gem! We met both the owner and bartender, who were friends from Chicago. The bottled craft beer selection was diverse, and we were pleased to find a large offering of stouts, which is the perfect winter beer in my opinion. Several TVs, and they were willing to find a hockey game for my husband. Decor is nice. Maybe a little bright for a basement bar, but unlike your traditional dive bar, it was sparkling clean, so it's not like the dark was required to hide the dirt you'd rather not see. We'll definitely stop in again if we're ever in Ridgway. A nice little stop between Ouray and Telluride.
