We stopped by on Saturday around 6 PM and the manager was so kind to help us put a larger table together. We only waited about 10 minutes. Our server was so sweet. I don't remember her name, but she was extremely knowledgeable about all the cocktails -- and there are many. It's one thing to memorize the ingredients, but quite another to understand flavor, profiles, textures, substitutions, etc. she really knows her stuff and was great at making recommendations. We tried a number of different cocktails, including the Headhunter, Xanadu, London press, lemon ginger NA, and poco loco. Personally, I had the headhunter and Poco Loco. The headhunter was yummy, but not special enough to order again. The Poco Loco, however, was unique and delicious with the habanero infusion so present and the foamy top giving it a melt in your mouth texture. It's pretty warm in there as they have no AC and no fans to circulate the air and it is still summer, plus drinking makes you hotter, so we were a little sweaty, but This is of course, a very temporary feeling as the area does not stay this hot for long. Absolutely can't wait to come back

My buddy and I always like to wrap up our ski trips with a cocktail. While walking the streets of…read moreCrested Butte, Dogwood Cocktails + Kitchen looked inviting. The Dogwood is a cocktail cabin that is located in the heart of downtown Crested Butte. They keep the lights dimmed and have a fun music playlist that creates a nice relaxed atmosphere. The floor creaks as you walk through the cabin and they have cool chandeliers. We were initially told it would be a long wait, but somehow they found a table rather quickly for us. It was cold out, so we appreciated it. The Dogwood has a nice variety of artisanal cocktails on their menu. Our server was very helpful with giving us some options. I didn't have my readers on me and had a hard time reading the menu. So her describing some of the cocktails to me was very helpful. Dogwood has a number of classic drinks, margaritas and martinis. Some of the fun names that I saw were Thor's Hammer, D Cup, Porch Song, Mr. Pink and Beetnik. I ordered the Headhunter and enjoyed my drink. For food, Dogwood has charcuterie-style bites and other light snacks. This was a great find and a nice way to cap off our fun trip to Crested Butte.

My husband and I were visiting Montrose and decided to try the local speakeasy for a night out. We were greeted at the door immediately and was well taken care of the second we walked in. If you like whiskey, I would high recommend getting the Old Fashioned because they will bring the alcohol cart to where you're sitting and make the whole drink in front of you. It made the drink such a fun and unique experience.

They have a very limited food menu, which hopefully will grow over time, but the food that do have is delicious. The empanadas are all folded differently to identify the different fillings, which gives a striking visual appeal and the empanadas taste great taboot. The empanadas are also served with a delicious pesto-type sauce. The venue is broken up into a lot of different spaces so you can find an area that matches your group's vibe. The acoustics can make the space a little loud when it is crowded, but this works really well when they have live music in the evenings.

This past weekend was the Harvest Festival and I came into town with some friends to enjoy the festival and wineries. After a day of drinking wine and walking around, we decided to come here for dinner since so many locals recommended it. We came around 8pm and were seated after a 10 min wait. The night was busy due to the festival and we were the last people to leave the restaurant but we never felt rushed or unwelcome. The food was delicious! I had the Chicken Marsala and I did not leave any leftovers at all. In fact, no one in my party had any leftovers. If you are in the area, definitely come for a memorable dining experience and awesome food. P.S. don't forget to order dessert!

Inside was really cute and chic, fun flare with small rooms in a cozy environment. Definitely recommend- outside seating was also available.
