I have good news my friends as The Nugget which sits just down the street from Purgatory will be pouring all the classic drinks you desire after a day on the mountain. Adorned with ski and snowboard treasures from corner to corner, also sits a food truck pumping out some serious sliders. Sampled the tenderloin, crab cake, and zucchini sliders which were all excellent combined with garlic fries, you thought you'd just won the K-12 downhill with John Cusack.

Fantastic speakeasy find in dwntwn Durango!…read more A pw is required, but it's on their Insta. It's a functioning barber shop by day and awesome prohibition-era speakeasy by night. I was sat in the back room cuz the front bar was full. It was nice and quiet & there was an additional bar in the back. Great curated "author & bibliophile" themed libation menu. I had the St Vincent Millay (their version of a between the sheets) and it was made to classic perfection! They also have an extensive spirits menu; I always like to try local so I had a shot of 1874 San Luis Valley American Whiskey (a 3-Grain Whiskey using local rye, barley, and wheat, highlighting regional sourcing). Price-point is in line w/current mixologist cocktail costs. Definitely worth checking out!

We were wandering around downtown Durango late Tuesday morning looking for lunch and quickly…read morerealized many places are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the mid-April off-season. Thankfully, we came across Carver Brewing Co. and were happy to see it open. They offer a great variety of local beers, including options to take some to go. We tried the Double IPA and the Hazy--both were delicious. They also have wine and mimosas available if beer isn't your thing. Bo (or Beau) was our bartender and truly made the experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a genuine smile the entire time. His energy was infectious and really brightened the atmosphere. Definitely a must-stop when passing through Durango.

There was outside seating in front and out back. Clean bathrooms. I definately recommend you to stop here if your in RIco.

Then their order was later served to us...so of course everyone's orders were wrong. The food was very tasty... but I ordered medium well burger w/fries.... not medium rare w/onion rings.

To her credit, our kind waitress had the kitchen quickly make me a new one, but honestly it was still borderline inedible. This time, due to the salt. Not only was the meat heavily salted, but the breading was overly salted as well. I couldn't even taste the meat or the breading (or even the potatoes) because it wasn't a giant plate of salt. I ate all the broccolini, a few bites of potatoes, and a few bites of steak. I hate that all restaurants, because of patrons and their salt-conditioned palates, serve the most sodium-laden monstrosities possible. I didn't feel good eating it, I didn't want to eat more than a few bites, and I left the restaurant full of regret for the bites I did take. On the plus side, the beer is exceptionally tasty, and my kids both enjoyed their meals. We are leaving tomorrow and so we won't be back, but I wouldn't be back otherwise as well.

We all ordered drinks and some food items. The spinach/artichoke dip was a bit heavy and overcooked. You def could not dip your chips in it. I got the poblano chx fried steak. It was good but also a bit overcooked. Some folks got burgers and pizza and they all said it was fine. Go for the service and drinks!! Fun atmosphere. Sorry- it was too crazy trying to get pics.

It just can't get any simpler and fun! Bookmark this little place as fun and a must try! The view: It's backed up to the purgatory ski mountain!
