I have good news my friends as The Nugget which sits just down the street from Purgatory will be pouring all the classic drinks you desire after a day on the mountain. Adorned with ski and snowboard treasures from corner to corner, also sits a food truck pumping out some serious sliders. Sampled the tenderloin, crab cake, and zucchini sliders which were all excellent combined with garlic fries, you thought you'd just won the K-12 downhill with John Cusack.

Well, that was a gem…read more We're staying at Purgatory for the week and saw this place on the way up. We walked from our Airbnb because the reviews sold us. I NEEDED that grilled cheese and soup. One teen, one tween, two adults, and hungry bellies. We order 4 cups of soup (that "crouton" is a half sandwich and LEGIT). Do not sleep on that soup. The soup is equally delicious. I could've had the bowl (with the crouton) and been fine. Also a steal at $5 for a cup and the half sandwich and $8 for the bowl and half sandwich. We also got a kid meal (plain cheeseburger slider and kid sized fries for $8), veggie zucchini slider, filet slider, and regular fries. Somewhere around $50 for stuffed bellies. $7 beer draft and they sell local rootbeer in bottles for kids. Live band was great on this Friday. Seating is a bit sparse but possible. Upstairs was closed for a bachelorette. Would definitely return. This was a highlight. Only negative? Mosquitoes. Bring some spray if you're outside.

Fantastic speakeasy find in dwntwn Durango!…read more A pw is required, but it's on their Insta. It's a functioning barber shop by day and awesome prohibition-era speakeasy by night. I was sat in the back room cuz the front bar was full. It was nice and quiet & there was an additional bar in the back. Great curated "author & bibliophile" themed libation menu. I had the St Vincent Millay (their version of a between the sheets) and it was made to classic perfection! They also have an extensive spirits menu; I always like to try local so I had a shot of 1874 San Luis Valley American Whiskey (a 3-Grain Whiskey using local rye, barley, and wheat, highlighting regional sourcing). Price-point is in line w/current mixologist cocktail costs. Definitely worth checking out!

Lucky for me, they had so many food options from all the food trucks and a bar at the center. I decided to eat at the slider food truck and ordered one fliet mignon slider and the Cajun fries. They give you a buzzer to let you know when the order is ready. During that time, we walked around to some of the other food trucks to check out their menus. We ended up grabbing at table just in time before we experienced torrential rain. Mind you, it had been sunny and 78 degrees just five minutes before and suddenly was freezing. Well, my version of freezing. Finally the buzzer went off and my sister picked up my order. We all shared the Cajun fries because the portion was definitely shareable and they were so good. The filet slider really impressed me! The blue cheese and caramelized onions were the perfect touch. I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Durango!

Thankfully, we came across Carver Brewing Co. and were happy to see it open. They offer a great variety of local beers, including options to take some to go. We tried the Double IPA and the Hazy--both were delicious. They also have wine and mimosas available if beer isn't your thing. Bo (or Beau) was our bartender and truly made the experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a genuine smile the entire time. His energy was infectious and really brightened the atmosphere. Definitely a must-stop when passing through Durango.

We started with the Bavarian pretzel, which was served with beer cheese and mustard. It was delicious and fresh! I then had the southwestern burger, which is always a favorite of mine because of the green chilis. The burgers are always cooked nicely (I order medium) and I was able to substitute a side salad, which was easily one of the best side salads I've ever had at a brewery. We are doing dry January, so no beers this time, but had a lovely hop water that they brew there and even left with a growler full. Highly recommend Steamworks for an authentic Durango experience or if you're just trying to catch a game or hangout with friends. It definitely has fun, local brewery vibes. We will definitely be back!
