I've been coming to this location when it was farquarts. It's been many things since then. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the trees inside and their great use of used doors to make quaint seating areas if you want to be romantic or hang out with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great full bar too. When I ordered what I thought was a smash burger I was surprised to see the size of this thing! It was huge, could barely eat half of it. Service was great! Nice happy hour specials too. Visit when you go to Durango! read more

Quality food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Horrible service. Having frequented this place many times, I'm always amazed at the painstaking lengths that the owner went to provide a pleasant dining experience, good food, high quality ingredients, and a pretty excellent value relationship-- Only to hire incompetent servers. Tonight I was placed alone next to a window, with the server barely spending more than 10 seconds waiting on me--in 50 minutes. Instead, he doted over all of the large groups in my vicinity, promised me a refill on the iced tea, watched me sit there waiting for 30 minutes for a refill, and never provided such. You got it. When I was handed the electronic payment machine...Yupp... he literally stares me down like a back alley shakedown artist. In addition to wearing a scuzzy unkept beard, not advisable for food servers, right?, he actually seems visibly upset when I gave him 16% tip, even asking me "was something wrong?" I know that we are in a small town, and Durango is feeling its growing pains, transitioning from a mountain/railroad rural tourist haven to a high profile mountain resort. But this was so obvious, that it ruined the experience. The burger was well executed and had a nice patina, offering a rewarding crunchy patty exterior. The marinade the patty was placed in was great as well. The bun was high quality and so too was the blue cheese and fried onion strings. read more

Food was good- servings were small - service was good - prices seemed high - parking is difficult

We really enjoyed our time at Derailed, highly recommended by locals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside until the rain started and moved right inside and enjoyed our night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] "Tim" was our waitress, she was great! Food was excellent. read more

"Exceptional" isn't a strong enough word. Everything was outrageously beautiful - from the drinks, to the apps, to the atmosphere, to the hospitality, to the servers. You won't have a meal - you will experience art. read more

The food was great, jalapeño burger is highly recommended. I forget the name of our server but he was just a delight very welcoming very nice great vibes.

Derailed Pour House - Jalepeno burger, flight, and my girlfriend - Music Venues Near Me - Durango, Colorado

We were visiting our son and his fiancée and came here for dinner. It was a Saturday night and the place was busy. Still, we got a table within 15 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was very cool, with a few tables inside little rooms with windows, and our table was up a small flight of stairs with a few other tables. Our area was Alice in Wonderland themed, with a twisted cabinet and clock (as if you were on drugs), and framed sayings of different Alice characters. There is patio seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My wife and I had a mandarin orange and almond slivered spring salad with a wonderful lemon vinaigrette dressing, and I had grilled chicken on mine. My wife also got two carne asada tacos she really liked. Our son ordered a flatbread pizza and his fiancée a caprese salad. All the food was delicious. Our son had two beers,his fiancée two mixed drinks, my wife a margarita, and myself a beer. $157 before tip. So, not inexpensive. I would come here for special occasions but not on a regular basis. read more

Ugh. Food was actually ok but the service and attitude was so toxic and patronizing it was the worst experience I have had in years. I worked foodservice for a long time and would never blame, dismiss and insult patrons in the way that our server and the manager did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were 12 people, and four of us were seated in a position where the setting sun was directly in our eyes. The four of us spent the entire meal, either with a menu in front of our faces, or sitting away from the table, far enough that we had to put plates on our laps because we could not sit at the table without being blinded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The manager blamed us for not moving to a seat on the other side of the table, which quite frankly we could not see because of our position. When we ordered appetizers, our server said we did not designate them as appetizers, and therefore it would come out with the rest of our meal. The other half of the table, the part that could see, had ordered appetizers and got them about 20 minutes before the rest of us got any food. What we had considered appetizers came out, literally two minutes before the entrées, and our server proudly announced that he had brought them out as appetizers. Using a trauma informed approach, I am so sorry for whatever happened to these people. As I started with, the food was actually not bad. But the attitude, the fact that they just did not care about their guests, and chose to blame us for their feelings would prohibit me from recommending this restaurant to anybody ever anywhere. read more

I'm in Durango for a short stay and Derailed Pour House instantly became my go-to spot. It's an easy 8-minute walk from the DoubleTree, which makes it perfect for a solo dinner or a relaxed night out. Since I was solo, I grabbed a seat at the bar -- and I'm so glad I did. The staff was over-the-top friendly, the kind of team that makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. Not every place gets hospitality right, but these guys absolutely do. I ordered the Cuban, and it surprised me in the best way. They use BBQ in the sandwich, so it's a different take than the traditional style -- but it was incredibly tasty. I liked it so much I ordered a Philly cheesesteak to go, and that didn't disappoint either. Make sure you try the craft cocktails. They do flavors well -- thoughtful, balanced, and creative without being over the top. You can't go wrong trying a few. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is friendly, warm, and easy to settle into.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll always come back to this place when I'm in Durango. Honestly, I could see myself becoming a regular if I lived here. Great food, great drinks, even better people. Highly recommend read more

Epic happy hour and upbeat atmosphere. Stopped in here after a long day on the train and got blessed to hit during happy hour. $6 for nachos and $6 for truffle fries. Deal. Huge portions and a solid 7/10 for both. Also went with their house Negroni to wash it down. The drink was refreshing and left me wanting another. They add their spin on a classic Negroni by using an apricot liqueur making it less bitter and more crushable. Highly recommend. read more

I came here for drinks on a Saturday night and it was such a wonderful experience. Their cocktail menu was elaborate, whimsical, and fun. Our waitress helped us chose drinks and they were delicious. We also got their sweet potato fries which had a delicious dipping sauce. Even better than the drinks and food was the decor and ambiance! Tables are isolated in alcoves created by extra doors and barriers installed. Also there were interior illuminated trees. They were beautiful and it was so fun. read more

My daughters and I had the pleasure of dining here a couple months ago. We shared some appetizers and all were delicious. The cocktails were unique and so good. We couldn't decide which one we liked best. We especially appreciated our waiter. He was on top of things and was quite funny - just an all around great personality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was very warm and cozy with lighted trees and old doors surrounding some of the tables for privacy. So pretty![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not sure if we'll make it back to Durango but Derailed Pour House will be a must if we do. read more

Pretty cool place located in downtown Durango. So glad I found this place on Yelp! Service was attentive, drinks were super yummy, and the food was good. I ordered the Margherita flatbread and it was really flavorful with the arugula on top. I also had the southwest fries, which were really good and the drink I had was The Cure and it was super refreshing. I loved the jalapeño vodka in it; it wasn't too spicy at all but gave it a very nice flavor. I loved the decor and vibe of this place and if you're in Durango, check this place out! read more

Love the happy hour BUT: I went with friends for happy hour today, and our server was not ideal. He eavesdropped on the conversation I was having with friends, inserted himself directly into the conversation without an invitation, and then ignored me all THREE times that I told him I did not want to continue the conversation with him. I set a boundary, he ignored it, and then he proceeded to talk at us for more than five minutes.... There is no email address for me to leave this feedback so I'm leaving it on yelp. read more

When I was doing my research to come to Durango this place got very high marks. It didn't disappoint.

It was so great, we each had another. All the food we got, everyone enjoyed. If I lived there, this would be a place I would always bring guests. Nothing negative to say about anything.

I had the BEST happy hour experience here! First of all, Tonny, is the BEST server and his attention to customers, energy, and excellent service was absolutely delightful and well worth the stop. Second, the happy hour menu is extensive for food and beverage options and the portions are large given the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Finally the ambiance is beautiful, from the outdoor patios to the beautiful furnishings to the large lit indoor trees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is definitely worth the stop and I will be back! read more

excellent food and great staff. It's one of my favorite local places for wings, beer, and burgers!

Came here after the attendant on the steam train recommended it as his favorite spot in town! (thanks Paul!) So glad he suggested ... Derailed was a delight! There was no detail overlooked. The art, the ambience, the aesthetics, the designs on the menu, the names of the cocktails, everything was exceptional. Our waitress, and everyone who worked there was so incredibly kind and great at their jobs! Fast, friendly. It was a great experience. The cocktails and beer were delicious. We got a chicken flatbread and the buffalo wings, and the food was delicious. The buffalo wings packed a serious spice, but man where they good! Definitely come here for some food and cocktails, it was a great time. read more

Let me just start by saying my positive take on this restaurant; the cocktail list is extensive and fun, and the drinks were good. Also, they have a nice ambiance with diverse music. On the downside, the food is not good. I had a southwest salad which had maybe 5 pieces of lettuce and was covered in cheese. I also had an avocado taco that was cold and bland. I expected maybe a fried avocado slice or something, but no. My partner got chicken tacos and he said they were ok. We were in a time crunch and took what we could get, as most places were closing. Our server was really nice and fast when we asked for the check, which we paid without looking it over. Our mistake, as we were charged for extra food we didn't order. For example, I received one taco for $4 but was charged for two... like I said, my drink was good! read more

We came here for drinks on Saturday afternoon and luckily didn't have to wait for seating or any delays at all. The specialty cocktails do take a little more time to make but if you read that within the menu you can prepare for that.

My daughter and I made it a point to visit this place on our trip to Durango. We absolutely LOVED this place!! It had such a cool vibe. The food and drinks were amazing! We shared the bbq chicken flatbread and it was really tasty. We had a great time just sitting there looking around. Even the women's bathroom was cute :) In the hallway leading to the bathrooms is all kinds of cute quotes hanging. A really great place to stop at when you are in Durango.

Always have Ana always will love this place. They make you feel like family from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.

This place is meh for us. We've visited 3 or 4 times and been consistently UNDERwhelmed by the experience here. The good: nice live music and fun decor. Also has a large enough menu that there's something for everyone. The bad: the quality of the food is inconsistent and the orders have been prepared wrong each time we've visited. Additionally, it's really only for a small group (2 or 4 people) and if you're seating more than 4, you have to sit at a high-top where you can't sit up to the table because there's barrels in the way of your legs. So you're sitting very far away from the table and everyone you're with. The service is also PAINFULLY slow and you can't find someone when you need something... so if your order comes out wrong, you're taking that plate back to the kitchen yourself because nobody is around to help you. We're probably not going back - it's just not a good fit for us and too much hassle for the price. read more

A great find in the heart of downtown Durango. This place has amazing ambiance, a fantastic host and wait staff. There are cozy seating arrangements partially partition off by antique doors for a truly unique atmosphere. I wound up sitting outside on a very comfortable sectional in a well heated area where our waiter Brian took great care of us. They have an extensive cocktail list along with spirits and drafts. The food was delicious, a selection of salads, burgers sandwiches something for everyone including gluten free. They have live entertainment on the weekends adding to a great overall experience read more

Tonight was our 4th or 5th visit to Derailed. Food was ok. Server had a great attitude, but drinks and food came out very slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The primary issue was that people consistently held the front door open for a long period of time. We were sat near the front door and it was 25 outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I approached the hostess and asked about the front door and she replied "it isn't us". I told her that I understood she wasn't holding the front door and could she please ask the customers to close the door as they came in. There was little progress. At the end of the dinner I brought this up to the manager and it was evident that she couldn't care less. Most likely our last visit to Derailed. Too many other good restaurants in Durango to choose from. read more

Wonderful service, ambiance, and food. Happy hour food and drinks, so that was our dinner. Our server was attentive but not overly so. Nice crowd too. I loved all the pretty floral trees inside. Sit on the patio if you can, there are heaters out there and you can see a view of the mountains. I would have preferred the potstickers to not be fried. But they were still served beautifully. The nachos were amazing as were the quesadillas. All happy hour food and the 4 of us were happily satisfied. The Margarita was very good, and I loved my Moscow Mule. read more
