    Squatch quenching his thirst

    Great local joint. All locals away from tourists and a nice place to watch the hustle and bustle pass you by.

    The Cure. Not sure what it's solving, but it seems to work!

    You can get breakfast here. There is table service (very nice people) in the bar. Their signature is the sautéed onion and green chile. And massive portions. Excellent stuff!

    This is basically where the young hipsters of East California go to do...things...such as get way too drunk, dance very badly, wear too little clothes, and spill the aforementioned drinks on each other. At 35+, I am relatively sure the wife and I were the oldest people in the establishment who had an IQ above their belly buttons. Despite the cheap drinks, which the bartenders got wrong 3 times, and I still had to pay for, I would rather have bird flu than go back here. Go down to the Diamond Bell. Get a proper drink. Hang out with proper people who's IQ tests actually come out positive, and enjoy your time in Durango.

    Durango's open mic room looks really great.

    A kick ass bar with live music most nights and Durango's only weekly comedy show! I'll see you there on Thursdays.

    Run down but it's still a cool place to go in Durango for a beer. They have good drafts and a full bar to make good drinks.

    Solid old bar that isn't too dumpy. Good selection of beers. Pool table is plus. Internet jukebox.

    I love this place. In a town loaded with fancy pants crap for tourists and all kinds of outside…read moremoney, Orio's Roadhouse is an oasis of regular, local fun. With 3 pool tables, a tornado foosball table, good local beers on tap and a juke box loaded with good music, this is a great place to find a nice collection of locals, students and bikers out having a drink on pretty much any night of the week in the summer. Bonus points for the owners fighting the good fight for smokers rights! I don't smoke, but think bar owners should have the right to decide whether to allow smoking or not. The owners, Heidi and Rob Orio, went to Denver and fought to get the smoking ban exemption afforded to "cigar bars" and won ( http://cbs4denver.com/politics/local_story_031072430.html ). A lot of politicians were upset that their "cigar bar" expemption could be used by places other than the big money casinos they intended to protect with the expemption. Good for the Orios, and good for Durango!

    ZERO stars is more like it.. The Yeti, bartender (as stated on our credit card receipt) SUPER…read moreRUDE.. We were overcharged for our drinks.. Then 2 of us incurred an additional charges on our credit card for $25 each. Called Orio's and they said they will do nothing about it.. FRAUD!! On our way out, I told the bouncer we were leaving because the bartender was super rude.. The bouncer yelled out "Have the day you deserve".. HORRIBLE!!!! This place doesn't deserve to be in business. Hence why there were 6 people in there on a Saturday night.. I will never step foot back in this establishment!! Def don't use credit card.. They will steal from you.
