We stopped in for dinner this past week while visiting Telluride…read more It was busy but we were able to get a table. Our sever Levi was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. For drinks we ordered dirty martinis. They were filled to the rim which was nice but could have been colder. The menu looked great. We went with burgers. We ordered the Smokehouse burger medium rare with cheddar, house bbq, crispy onions, bacon plus all the toppings. It was cooked perfectly. It came with a spicy slaw. So delicious. We also ordered the Truffle mushroom burger medium with a mixture of cremini, oyster, shiitake mushrooms plus Swiss cheese and truffle aioli plus all the toppings. It was cooked perfectly medium. It also came with the delicious slaw. The buns were a bit big but at least they were soft and delicious. The dessert. So tasty. Honestly $27 is pricy for a burger but it was very good. We would come back to Smuggler union try other menu items next time we return to Telluride.

Smuggler Union is a great pub to go have drinks and apps. During ski season, it is definitely more…read morecrowded in the evenings, so expect a wait if you are looking to get a table. We got lucky and snagged three seats at the bar... and so glad we did! The bartenders were both very friendly, made great recommendations and handled a very busy bar/restaurant with patience. As far as food goes- we got the tuna appetizer which was very good. Not something most would order from a pub but their sister restaurant is actually the sushi place up the street, so they source from the same place. We also got the potato tots that were very good as well. Basically just fried cheesy mashed potatoes. Finally, we shared the buffalo wings which were delicious!! Some of the best wings I have ever had! The flavor was great and the chicken as moist. We actually attempted to go back again the next night and ran into a bit an attitude at the hostess stand, so decided to go elsewhere. Overall, we had a great experience and I would certainly go back.

Great chill brewery on the outskirts of telluride away from the hustle and bustle. It's in a…read moreshopping center with ample parking. The brewery is super dog friendly and family friendly. They have a lot of great tasting beers on tap that are regular staples and rotating. No food but food trucks sometimes. It gets busy on food truck days ore live music. Staff is friendly, happy to give you a sample if you are not sure. They also have a great selection of beer to go. I like that they have cans of sparkling water and hard seltzer for those who don't drink beer. It's a classic spot that's been consistent for me over years. Dirtbag campers and hikers are welcome and no one will blink an eye. Cute merch too- expensive but it lasts. My hoodie is still going strong 4 years later including the graphic on front that hasn't faded one bit.

We were sold!! The entire experience was delightful. The wine, the appetizers, entrees, and dessert was exceptional!! My daughter ordered the spaghetti with Shrimp and I had sea bass tortellini with saffron sauce. Absolute heaven!! But, the best part of our experience was our server Claudia. She was knowledgeable and professional but most of all she brought so much joy to our table with her sweet demeanor and fun stories. 10/10!! Highly recommended!!!!!

We sat outside and really enjoyed the relaxed, open-air setting. It was a great place to unwind after a day on the river. The atmosphere was very casual. We ordered food and drinks and spent time just hanging out together. The beer was great, and doing a flight made it easy to try a few different options before choosing a favorite. We enjoyed their Bavarian pretzels, pub chips, and flatbread pizzas. Overall, Ska Brewing was a great family-friendly stop after rafting. It's a fun, casual brewery with good beer, good energy, and a welcoming outdoor space. Definitely a spot we'd come back to if we're in Durango again.

The French dip had a nice Smokey twist to it. The Caesar salad is not traditional but made with kale and Brussels sprouts but it all goes together really well. Kids enjoyed the grilled salmon and the popcorn chicken. The only thing that wasn't 5 star was the clam chowda, it wasn't a traditional creamy one and while good it wasn't great.

There are a lot of breweries to choose from in Durango, and during our family vacation we tried…read morequite a few of them. One of our favorites was Steamworks Brewery in downtown Durango. The location was perfect for us because we were able to easily walk there from our hotel. We were lucky enough to get outdoor seating, which made the experience even better. It was great to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Durango weather, and people watch while having dinner. We decided to do a beer flight so we could sample a variety of their beers before committing to a full pint. It was a great way to try different styles, and we each ended up finding a favorite. Everything we tried was really good. My husband liked their Buffalo wings and whiskey burger, I enjoyed the seared tuna bowl, and our kids liked their pizza. It is definitely a busy and popular spot, especially during peak vacation times, so I would recommend putting your name in early and expecting there could be a wait. In our opinion it was worth it. Steamworks had a great casual vibe that worked well for both families and adults wanting to enjoy a brewery experience. The downtown location adds to the charm, and it definitely felt like one of those must visit spots while in Durango.

Quality was good -- the fries were a stand-out. I had a green chili burger that had good food flavors, but was nowhere near as spicy as the description had it. DRINK: A brew-pub is only as good as the brew. Both the saisson and the blonde we ordered were quite tasty, as were the seltzers. The selection isn't huge, but that's actually kind of nice; they covered all the beer bases without needing to offer a dozen different IPAs. SERVICE: Very friendly waitstaff, and fairly attentive. We were there at an early hour (they open earlier than other dinner restaurants), but food delivery was pretty quick. AMBIANCE: Brew-pub in an old building on Ouray's main drag -- ticked the boxes nicely. Place was clean, noise level was under control. We chose indoor seating, being concerned about heat up on the rooftop. NET-NET: A bit on the pricey side, but quite satisfying. If I were again in Ouray, I might try someplace else, but I would not need my arm twisted to return here.

They were out of cold brew. I ordered a matcha. It was not properly mixed and I got chunks in my drink. However, I cannot and will not blame the barista as she was running around the whole joint on a time crunch. The real problem was the lack of staff. The coffee shop was spacious and provided a great space to do work. I recommend, but only on a day with sufficient staff.
