Loved the old saloon look. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was not as impressive. Everything was greasy and tasted a bit like old oil. Hubby had the fish and chips and said that it was mostly batter and a little fish with greasy fries. I had a French dip that didn't have much flavor but the au ju and like old oil and greasy fries. My granddaughter had the chicken ceasar salad and her friend had a spicy wrap of some kind, they both thought theirs were good. read more

Nice selection of beverages and excellent service with great character and great attitudes. It's a lot of fun and the piano makes for great ambience read more

"The work is the curse of the drinking classes." On the corner of Main Avenue and W 7th, it has high ceilings, live music, dressed up female severs. My Beretta Pinot is yummy, so is the veggie quesadilla. read more

The ambiance was fun, there was a live guitar player/singer who did a great job. The meatloaf was fantastic and the veggies were delicious. This is not something I would typically order. So glad I did. Waitress was great! read more

My friend and I shared a veggie quesadilla and it was delicious! Then indulged in the bourbon bread pudding. To die for! And to top it off there was a really good live band (on a Sunday evening!) The old west saloon atmosphere made for a good time. read more

The atmosphere of Diamond Belle Saloon is absolutely iconic. There is a live piano player playing classic tunes like Ragtime Cowboy Joe as well as some Billy Joel/Elton John medleys, the servers are in period authentic clothing on theme with the saloon vibe, etc. The drink I got (Electric Tea) was good! Not the best cocktail I've had though and a bit overpriced, the same can be said for the food too. My mom got the chicken pot pie and I got the french dip. Both were difficult to eat with ease but delicious nonetheless. I'd definitely come back but probably just for a drink and an appetizer, not a full meal. read more

Stopped in here for lunch and visit a piece of Durango history; it really has the look and feel of the Old West. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. Our tasty beverages came right out. We shared a French Dip sandwich, salad and clam chowder. Everything was tasty but standard. read more

Just had a "light lunch" of two big salads. I enjoyed the Southwest Cobb and my wife, the Main Avenue. Both loaded with grilled chicken and really sharable if you chose to do so. The restaurant, has a large menu and is in the Strater Hotel, a historic old west building with multiple restaurants. Waitresses dress as saloon girls to add to the western flavor. A great stop in Durango to relive the past. read more

Place is like an old time saloon from the late 1800s. Even down to the outfit Eva our waitress wore. Eva was priceless. Kidding with us. She was running all over and still great service. We were just grabbing appetizers so it was veggies with hummus and chicken quesodillas for the 3 of us. Ice tea to drink. Great place. And make sure you tip Eva well. She was great read more

Service was great, how can you go wrong with saloon girls in scanty outfits. We had salmon (which was actually very spicy) and steak with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables, all of which were quite bland, steak over cooked but tender. read more

Our food was great. Service was fast and friendly. Would recommend the burgers. My daughter got tomatoe bisque and grilled cheese she loved it. read more

To put it simply, you must go here! The hotel is stunning. The Belle is just as stunning, if not more so. It's like you've stepped back in time! The pianist was so incredibly talented, it was such a blast to hear him play, and he had a great crowd interaction that made it so personable. Drinks were great -- the old-fashioned could've been stronger, that's my only critique! The Bees Knees was an exceptionally crafted cocktail. Meatloaf was delicious! Tasted very homemade. A wonderful memory! read more

I have been going here for years and tonight and the last few times. Crappy service. 20 minutes to get order taken. I had to get my own refill. Quality of food dropping. Great music was the only upside tonight. read more

We came here on my birthday. We aren't big drinkers (or drinkers at all for that matter) so we came for the ambience and food. Great piano player who was kind enough to sing happy birthday to me. Had to return the chicken wings as they were awful. So tough we couldn't eat them. Waitress brought us out egg rolls instead which were ok. Loaded nachos ok. What's interesting is she took off the wings from our bill. Yet when she ran the credit card she must have added her tip because it was 5.00 more. Hubby left additional tip and we couldn't stick around to ask about it. The girls are dressed in period attire and the ambience is great. Hopefully the other meals that came out of the kitchen were better then ours. I'd suggest go for drinks and appetizers and enjoy. read more

Service was great, food was great. Ate lunch here before driving back home to NM. I had the Steak Taco Salad, the wife had the club sandwich (I ate half), and the kid had the cheeseburger. Very cool looking place with a lot of history. Our waitress was very good and prompt. Food came pretty fast too. Glad we went! read more

Diamond Belle. Diamond is one of my favorite places to go, Adam who is a champion fourth time for one of the best old-time piano players in the world. So much fun we love JD the bartender and Carson. Love the energy. Inside the Strater Hotel. I WOULD RECOMMEND. read more

I'm admittedly addicted to this place so know that in advance. I'm only here when Adam Swanson is playing, and the food and drinks really don't matter after that. This is an annual pilgrimage spot for us, and the food is pretty good, the drinks good and reasonable, the ambience when Adam is playing over the top, the service professional and friendly and the fun factor wonderful! Love this place! read more

Love this place, glad it was open when I came this time, drinks and friendly service is awesome. I wish the bartenders had some period attire or dressed like the waitresses, either way I am happy.

Diamond Belle Saloon - Their old fashion and bar - Music Venues Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Britt took great care of us as we took in the history and ambiance at this old Durango site located in the Strater Hotel. Apparently the prolific Western writer Louis L'Amour would stay in the room above this establishment, so that the raucous sounds of the saloon would inspire him. Well done, Diamond Belle. We just had a couple of fancy drinks; the food we saw being brought out to the patrons looked delicious. read more

Great atmosphere with classic music the entire time. I enjoyed this restaurant so much and wish I can come back shortly. read more

Diamond Belle Saloon - a man playing the piano - Music Venues Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Enjoyed a lunch here on a Saturday afternoon @ The Strater historic hotel. We had cocktails; old fashion & Bloody Mary for starters and a Reuben and Italian Grinder sandwiches. They were pricey but delicious in a 1885 hotel saloon. Staff was outstanding and the bartender comped the old fashion as I helped his employee learn to tie his uniform necktie. LOL! Highly recommend stopping here for drinks or food or both! read more

The food was very good and the atmosphere was really cool too! There was a live band so it was kind of noisy so the waiter was having a hard time hearing us to take our order but other than that it was really good!! read more

Diamond Belle Saloon - Music Venues Near Me - Durango, Colorado

A historic landmark of Durango. If you are visiting the city, you have to come here. We grabbed drinks at the bar and were impressed at the history. It does get busy so we decided to come during the middle of the afternoon. In the evenings, they will often have performances. We didn't try the food but it looked like they had a good selection. While you are in the saloon, don't forget to take a walk through the lobby of the Strater Hotel. read more

Piano man made the night all worth it. Ordered the filet medium and it came back as a hockey puck. Sent it back and they cooked it ok this time but their steaks just aren't good. I'd recommend just getting a drink and enjoying the music. The food isn't good at all. read more

This is a unique experience. Our daughters, ages 19 and 23, loved it! The staff were friendly and we received our food quickly. Some of us really enjoyed what we ordered and others did not, but it was a neat experience. read more

Passing the time until our ride on the Polar Express we needed to get something to eat. We decided to grab a bite in the hotel. What a better place to eat. The decor matches the rest of the hotel and once again other than the modern conveniences takes one back to a much different time. Velvet wallpaper, wooden tables and chairs and 1920's curtains. Ordered a Caesar Salad & Split a Philly Cheese steak, they were ok - but we really we're here more for the view. Good food, excellent service and great interior. We'll be back read more

This place doesn't take reservations. When we got here there were several tables closing up their tabs but still waited well over 30 minutes for a table as people were hanging out listening to the piano player. When the tables started to open up they were all upstairs and we were the very first table to sit down however the waitress took everyone else's food and drink orders ahead of us. We've been waiting well over 15 minutes for her to come back and take out order. We've been here and already know what we want! There are only 5 (6-ish) tables up here! She didn't even bother to ask us what we want to drink and just tossed the menu on our table and left. The food here's good but the customer service is horrendous! read more

The food was edible. The waitress was either bad at her job or hated her job. We never saw her smile while interacting with us, though at the staff station she was laughing and cutting up with her coworkers. Now, I get hating to wait on tables dressed as a saloon girl, it sucks. read more

After having just checked into the Strater Hotel and unloaded our luggage in our room upstairs, my wife and I came down to check out the Diamond Belle. It was late afternoon when we entered the saloon from the hotel, so the place wasn't too overly crowded. Since no one was up there when we came in, we immediately go upstairs and I take a few pictures of the bar from the second-story dining area. As I'm doing this, I look down and thought I recognized someone... Naw, it couldn't be him... My eyesight is really starting to fail me, that's all. Besides, we just saw him a couple of hours ago in Silverton... Just to be sure it wasn't who I thought it was, I would go back downstairs and walk by the guy as we made our way out the saloon's main entrance. Up close, I could tell for certain. So down I went, with my wife following. As I walked by him, I couldn't believe it. It WAS him! Jon Hudson, the same piano guy that was playing in The Outlaw in Ouray the night before last, and the same Jon Hudson we had just seen at The Bent Elbow not more than two hours earlier in Silverton. But here he was, and there we were, running into Jon in three different cities inside three different saloons! At this point, I start to get a bit weirded out. I mean, what are the odds that this is just a coincidence? Nevertheless, we get a picture of all three of us in it this time. In fact, I posted that picture here in Yelp - you can pretty much tell by the look on my face that I'm suspicious. It was starting to remind me of that bit in National Lampoon's Vacation, where Chevy Chase kept running into Christie Brinkley everywhere he went. Except in my case, it's this young, dashing, and very highly skilled piano player and MY WIFE! For my peace of mind, I had to ask Jon before we moved on out this saloon's doors, "Hey? You're not going to Santa Fe tomorrow by chance, are you?!" Jon laughed and answered, "No!" Whew! That's good, that is, unless I run into Jon Hudson the following night. If that were to happen, I might have had to shoot myself a piano player in Santa Fe! So my wife and I left to go explore Durango while there was still light out, but later we came back to the Diamond Belle for dinner. Here's a hot tip! All of the food from within the hotel - including this saloon - share the same kitchen. That means you can order anything here from any of the Strater Hotel food menus. When we ate in the saloon, I ordered a scallop special they were touting inside the restaurant. In my experience, the food, drinks, and dessert were absolutely fantastic, and the service here was impeccable. read more

Cool old Saloon feel but that was the end of it. Beer was old or flat, my wife's Diet Coke also had problems and the food was just so so. Do yourself a favor and have a quick drink to get the history and leave ! Other restaurant in the hotel looked ok but overpriced even compared to my big city standards. read more

Food was good. We had the burger, wrap and grilled cheese and tomato bisque. (Menu needs revised to add that fries are not included with the tomato bisque/grilled cheese) read more
