It is the perfect stop on our way into Durango. All the beer we had was delicious (which is very hard to come by these days), and they even had a black IPA, my favorite style. We also tried the pizza and pretzels. Both were delicious and a big hit with all our kids. The space is lovely and very welcoming, along with the staff. I am going to ensure that we have the right timing every time we come through town to make sure that we are able to make a stop here. Don't miss it! Pros: *Great beer *Delicious food *Friendly staff *Great atmosphere Cons: *Winter hours are reduced

Even though the town was covered in a new snow, Dustin made the Cidery warm and inviting. He took us through a tour of all 10 ciders and gave us the history of Fenceline. We have tasted most every cider in the Grand Valley and none were as delicious as any of the Fenceline ciders. Dustin not only gave us a tour of the ciders but talked with us about the Mancos area and introduced us to the power house women who get together there every Monday night! What a wonderful group of women and an incredible experience. Thank you Dustin. We are now looking to move a little closer so we can frequent your wonderful establishment!

You go up to the bar and order your food and drink and then grab a seat to wait. There are trivial pursuit cards on the tables if you want to play a bit. But the food came out quickly and we soon had empty pizza pans. The crust was sturdy enough to hold the generous toppings and was nice and chewy. The side salad was simple but a generous portion and a nice change from the usual iceberg bagged stuff many places serve. If you are not sure what beer you want (they brew their own), you can try a few. This place is a pleasant surprise in a small town where you don't expect this kind of quality.

So many places want to charge $50-$150 extra for a pup and that's just a no go for us. We stayed in the WOOF room. It has a queen size bed, mini fridge, microwave, table, chairs, small tv, and a full bathtub with a shower. On the bench when we arrived there was a cute little basket with a dog bone, water and food bowls, and special sheets and blankets for the pup. So thoughtful! The room was super clean, and the decor is impeccable. The shower has shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and the bathroom sink has hand soap and lotion. They also have a kettle in the room with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, but we ended up getting coffee every morning from Red Wolf Coffee, the coffee shop attached to the motel (AMAZING). They have a hot tub, but we didn't use it because it was so hot outside when we were there. I did see them cleaning it, and other people did use it. It looks nice.

I was very disturbed by what I saw at Thatzza Pizza on Saturday, April 18 around 8 pm…read more I have since received a call from the San Juan County public health inspector who equally as concerned and disturbed as I was (his exact words were "if I were you I'd have told the cashier to take his pizza and shove it") and threatened to take the restaurant's permit away if they did not provide employee training. The owners response on to me on Google Maps confirms that their employee was eating pepperonis and sticking fingers in her mouth while preparing a customer's pizza. As I was paying for my pizza, I witnessed a young female employee stick her fingers into her mouth and then into the pepperoni tub as she made a customer's pizza. I saw her continue to eat pepperonis as she prepared the pizza. I pointed this out to the clerk (a 20-30 year old male with a dark ponytail) and I said it was inappropriate and disgusting for an employee to be touching the customer's food while sticking her fingers into her mouth, and eating, and that I don't want someone else's spit on my food. The man got visibly upset and nasty, and said in a whiny tone that she wasn't doing anything wrong and it's totally fine to have your fingers in your mouth while making food to sell to the public. I was shocked at his response - it's one thing for a child to make a silly mistake while cooking, another for a grown man to not see the obvious health hazard here. We paid for our pizza and left (to avoid making a scene, and to support the employees working who were innocently doing their jobs), but threw it away out of fear of retribution since the cashier was so nasty to me. I've filed a complaint with both the city of Monticello and the San Juan County public health department. If employees are willing to be that disgusting in public in front of customers, I shudder to think of how they behave when out of sight.
