Telluride Blues & Brews Festival

This was my first time attending the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, and it definitely won't be…read moremy last. As a longtime festivalgoer, it's rare for me to experience so many artists for the very first time, but that added a fresh spark to the weekend. Jontavious Willis, Maggie Rose, Thundercat, Danielle Nicole, and Anders Osborne all left strong impressions, even if I can't list everyone here. That said, two performances in particular blew me away and would have been worth the trip from South Florida all on their own. Before getting to that, I have to highlight what makes this festival truly unique: the setting. Telluride Town Park sits in a valley almost completely surrounded by Colorado mountains. Having lived my whole life on flat Florida terrain, I was in awe. Pictures don't capture it--you simply have to be there. Our first day brought cold rain in the low 40s, and many people called it quits early. But those who stayed witnessed something unforgettable. In the middle of a downpour, Samantha Fish took the stage. Her voice and guitar work were so captivating that we almost forgot about the weather. Then, almost magically, the clouds parted, the sun broke through, and a stunning double rainbow arched over the snow-capped peaks that had just turned white from the storm. It was one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime moments that I'll never forget. And just when I thought nothing could top that, The Black Crowes closed out Sunday night. As a Gen-Xer who lived through the '90s, seeing the Robinson brothers back together was surreal. Chris Robinson commanded the stage with charisma somewhere between Mick Jagger and Scott Weiland, while Rich Robinson's guitar transported me right back to my twenties. It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip out west. Thank you Colorado

Telluride's "Flowerpot Parking Trap" Exposed: City Sanctions Visitor "Trickery" & "Entrapment"…read more Dropped $8,000+ on Blues & Brews weekend (VRBO, tickets, rental car, food, merch). The festival was great but... Last 5 minutes in town: * Parked behind another car in center-street 30-min max zone (engine running, hazards on) * Crew grabbed their ice cream treats from the sidewalk stand across the street * 90 seconds later - $50 ticket for "Permit Only" parking The catch? The words "Permit Required" was hidden under well-manicured flowers - on every planter down the middle of Main Street. Pictured officer as she lifted the blooms like a curtain to reveal it. Photos attached: 1. Officer holding back curtain of flowers exposing the key part of the sign 2. My spot with flowers untouched, covering the key part of sign 3. Several other cars parked in same zone and were being ticketed as fast as the officer could write them Zoom Call Court (1.5-hr wait; out-of-state Zoom Calls were last in line to be heard): * Victim before me, also out-of-state (Louisiana): Same story (but no pictures), Judge reduced fine to $40, or told to show up in court to fight * Me: Showed judge photographic evidence along with short to-the-point explanations during my hearing - still ordered to pay $40 or fly to Telluride to fight in court Judge Daniel Zemke ignored the evidence presented. This is clearly city-sanctioned "Trickery" & "Entrapment" targeting out-of-state visitors in rental cars (Locals know not to park there, or else). Paid the $40 (in pennies). Won't return (Sorry Blues & Brews); 47 other beautiful mountain towns do not hide their reasons for fines in flowerpots. ________________________________________ Beautiful town.

This restaurant is unwelcoming. We chose this restaurant based on its positive reviews, but unfortunately, our experience did not reflect that. My husband and I have been traveling between Utah and Colorado for the past two weeks, and after several nights of camping, we were looking forward to enjoying a sit-down dinner. We had a scheduled tour at 7:00 p.m., so we stopped by Derailed Pour House around 5:50 p.m. on Thursday, October 2, to ask about making a reservation for later in the evening at 9 p.m. The hostess told us that reservations could not be made after 8 p.m., but assured us that the kitchen would remain open until 9:30 p.m., and we were welcome to return and try for a table then. I found this a bit confusing, as the restaurant's website states that reservations can be made by phone. When we returned at 9:05 p.m. and politely requested a table, the hostess declined, saying the kitchen would be closing in ten minutes. Despite the restaurant's posted hours listing a 10 p.m. closing time, we were turned away without the option of being seated. I completely understand that arriving shortly before closing can be challenging or inconsiderate for a restaurant. However, in this case, we were told one thing earlier in the evening, and then were denied service under different terms. The inconsistency and lack of flexibility were disappointing, especially since we planned our evening based on the information provided by the hostess. What made the situation worse was how unwelcome we felt. Whether it was due to being out-of-town visitors (our appearance), the time of evening, or simply a lack of concern for customer service, the experience left us feeling dismissed. After leaving, we spoke with another restaurant nearby, who kindly recommended a restaurant that would serve us at this time. As someone who works directly with clients and customers and also writes reviews, I know how important it is to provide consistent, respectful service for all. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. For that reason, I do not recommend Derailed Pour House, despite all the glowing reviews. read more

We were in town from Michigan tonight and ate at Derailed Saloon. First of all, let me just say that Todd, the owner, was outside when we were walking past while trying to decide on a place to eat! His personality and coolness drew us in. :) What a FUN and relaxed atmostphere! The music was fabulous and the food was... killer! The Pork BBQ Sandwich was to die for! Seriously ... the best pork bbq my hubby and I have ever tasted (and we've had some good ones across the country!) You can get it with gooey, melted cheese and some type of unique peppers and onions on top - takes it over the top! Also, amazing BLTs. The housemade bread at Derailed rocks!!!! Todd made you feel so welcome and the vibe was just so relaxing and cool. RUN TO THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE A LOCAL OR IN TOWN VISITING! Live music was great. The next morning (and two states away), we were craving the PORK BBQ Sandwich and wish we hadn't left town yet! A+++++++ read more

5 Star for Celiacs As anyone with Celiacs knows - there is virtually no possibility of getting a completely contamination-free kitchen. But rarely do I get a server and chef who obviously care so much... their wings and jalapeno poppers were SO delicious, and the chef at the time (I think* his name was Jolo) plus Ashley the deliverer of fine food and bevs - they both obviously cared). When you have Celiacs you usually know within a few hours of gluten exposure, and as i write this i still feel ok. Well enough to write a review - great food, great drinks, great service. For all those who left sh!tty service reviews - it was probably because they are so busy due to being a great restaurant. My new fave... read more

We were seated on the patio and it took quite a while for our server to greet us. Once she did, she brought water and took our drink order. She returned with our drinks and said she would be back to take our food order. We had plenty to talk about while waiting, but she repeatedly walked past our table to attend to other tables without stopping. Eventually, I had to stop her and let her know we were ready to order. My wife and our friend's wife both ordered a pasta dish with sliced steak and spinach. My friend had a salad with salmon and a bowl of soup, and I ordered the filet with potato lasagna and spinach. As the evening went on, it became breezy and chilly. I asked another server if the patio heater could be turned on, and someone came over right away to help, which we appreciated. When our meals arrived, everything looked excellent and tasted very good. The food was definitely the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, our server only stopped by our table once during the entire meal to check on us and it was lien she was in a rush to leave to table. We spent a long time waiting to see if she would ask whether we needed anything or if we were finished. It wasn't as though she had to go out of her way to reach us--she walked past our table numerous times while serving her other tables. Because of the lack of attention, I once again had to get her attention to let her know we were finished and ask for a dessert menu. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate dessert to go after she highly recommended it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the description once I had a chance to eat it. The chocolate flavor was very mild, and the crunchy layer on the bottom was not particularly enjoyable nothing like a Dubai Chocolate. Overall, the food was excellent and deserving of praise. However, for a fine dining restaurant where both the food and drinks come at premium prices, the service fell well short of expectations. Great meals can make for a memorable evening, but attentive service is an important part of the fine dining experience, and unfortunately that was missing during our visit.
