    Such a hidden gem! We stopped by last night with my parents and had the best time. The bartender was absolutely amazing -- so friendly and fun -- and everyone there was just genuinely good vibes. The place has this cool vintage feel with awesome decor finds, great music, and perfectly made drinks. Couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere or crowd. Definitely a new favorite spot!

    Best bar in Southwest Colorado! Beautiful views, great drinks and fun atmosphere. I've visited Ouray from Kansas many times, and finally made it here. The bar owner is from Wisconsin, and radiates the Wisconsin dive bar hospitality throughout your experience (which is wonderful, for those who haven't been to wisconsin).

    Great little tavern at the north end of downtown. Amazing Ouray view from the upstairs deck. Sarah Gray, the owner, is super friendly and makes sure you have a fabulous visit. Great drinks!

    Packers night! We lost, but one day soon, we will have our glory moment in the hot sun!

    Welcoming atmosphere and the decor is really good. Not typical! we've been back several times and love this place. Friendly locals and good vibes. The drink menu has your go to standards, but a lot of creative alternatives well worth trying. Bar tender was on point and attentive! It's a must when you're in Ouray.

    The Gray recently opened and is above the distillery. Sarah Gray is the owner and makes delicious drinks.

    The Western is such a vibe that my wife has asked me to bring her here again next year on our 20th…read moreanniversary. It's a 140-year place with history and charm and creaks in the floor and a dead bear on the wall and preserved painting of a woman on the bar floor... that kinda spot. And we wouldn't change a thing. The views are spectacular all around, the drive into Ouray is beautiful and The Western puts you in great position to walk Main Street or hike up to Cascade Falls. The bar and bartenders are cocktails are all super cool, including a single large branded ice cube in the glass. Let's talk about the restaurant, though. I didn't want to venture and we gave it a shot. Nothing on the menu really even looked appetizing to me or the kids but we put on a good face anyway for mom. We ate all the food and our words--it was all delicious! By the way: I've spoken to locals and frequenters of Ouray who say that The Western was once considered kinda dumpy before a renovation in the past few years. I can't speak for how it was then, but I can tell you how it is now is just where I want to be.

    We went here on a Saturday evening, and the place was absolutely packed, always a good sign…read more Luckily, the chef's table was open, and I'm so glad we grabbed those seats. If you can, do it. It completely elevates the experience. The amuse-bouche was the perfect start to the meal, a bright, refreshing citrus bite with goat cheese, prosciutto, and a light acidic glaze. Thoughtful, balanced, and such a great opening note for the evening. Next was the butternut squash ravioli, and honestly, the sauce alone was memorable. Rich without being heavy, deeply flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the meal ends. We followed that with the ribeye, cooked medium-well, paired with potato fingers. The steak came with a fantastic chimichurri, and the chef even stopped by to recommend a finishing salt specifically for the ribeye. That level of attention to detail, combined with thoughtful table side service, really stood out. I also have to give a huge shoutout to the bar staff. The creativity behind the drink menu is impressive, and the cocktails are genuinely fun, inventive, balanced, and clearly crafted with care. It's no surprise the drink menu has recently won awards, and you can absolutely taste why. What truly made the experience special was watching the kitchen in action. The female lead chef was calm, focused, and clearly guiding the team with confidence. It felt like watching a well-orchestrated dance, and the food absolutely reflected that leadership. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if she ends up with a spot on one of the Top Chef shows. This place is a must stop. Grab the chef's table if you can, enjoy the cocktails, and trust the kitchen. The talent here is real, and it shows.
