Cute, local theater but staff is incredibly rude…read more We stopped in with some fresh coffee from Starbucks up the street and bought tickets to a movie that was just starting. We had our coffees in our hand as we bought the tickets then made our way over to concessions to purchase some snack. We purchased both from the same person so it was strange after we made our payment, they then decided to let us know we couldn't bring our coffees in. As my friend and I were deciding to see the next showing instead so we could finish our drinks and catch the film from the beginning, the manager decided to walk over and tell us if we saw the later showing she wouldn't refund our snacks. I found all of this so strange and rude so we decided to leave and go to another theater instead. The manager wouldn't let up and kept interrupting us to let us know if the other theater wouldn't let us in with our drinks either and even if we tried they were the only theater showing the movie. It was such a strange experience we got out of there as fast as possible and most likely won't go back until there is a staff turnover.

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.

Almost like when you could buy dark russet chips back in the day, I just loved them. Burger was very good as was the steak sandwich. The only thing I can say that is negative is that the food is overpriced a little. You're paying for the tremendous view and atmosphere, and the food quality is very good but a burger ala carte is like 17.00 and comes with no sides.

This is a genuine Colorado experience. An amazing 400 acre ranch with grazing cattle. A beautiful store with incredible meats. The restaurant is order and pick up at the counter and select an indoor or outdoor table. Dogs are welcome in some areas. A great place to enjoy a beer. Burger and beautiful scenery. The people here are also friendly and efficient

I have been seeing shows at the ACT since 2016 and I have always been pleased. I've lost count on…read morehow many shows I've seen there but it's been big acts to local DJs and many in between. Looking at all the negative comments leaves me wondering if that's just person and not necessarily the place causing the low marks. The act is an awesome small venue that leaves an intimate feeling. They offer a variety of music that gives a little something for everyone.

I'm not normally a jewelry person, but they had some beautiful pieces that I couldn't resist, and at affordable prices considering the quality and artistry.

I even got a filmmaker discount thanks to being a part of the festival. Talk about a romance in Durango. I love this place.

Beginning with the sad little air contraption on the floor that was supposed to keep ping pong balls afloat but, sadly, could hardly manage consistent air current, I figured Powerhouse was going to be a very brief and disappointing adventure. I was totally wrong. Considering the exhibits occupy the square footage of about half an elementary school cafeteria, there's a ton going on here. Like our hometown science museum, Explora, much of the fun around here is interactive, and many of the machines and gadgets are hand-made and well maintained. The building itself is historic and has a lot of character. There's an activity room for toddlers and plenty for the older set to engage with; I'd say any kid aged, oh, 14 and under can have a good time here. And then there's me, age 39, who sat with the Legos for about a half hour. Sorry, kid. This is a really great addition to a terrific town that doesn't offer a great deal for little ones, save some great parks. It's walking distance from all of the action on Main street, so parents can really make a day out of downtown Durango. Close your visit by wandering the fun, somewhat sketchville walking bridge that drapes the Animas river, outside. Once it started swaying, my daughter was more than a little freaked about physics.

Maybe it's me but the veggies out west are very tasteless. Actually this area in general has very little taste in its food and beers. Maybe it's the over saturation of people? Lots of pretty flowers and a couple booths of interesting ideas etc. The music were some older ladies covering some tunes, and it was ok. This area is crowded, very overpriced and pretentious in general so expect to pay high prices around town and in the market and everywhere west of about Kansas. After the market you can go and hike at one of the overwhelmingly amount of crowded trailheads or go on a train ride.

Fresh air, good food, comfortable beds, exercise, horses and great people. Cannot say enough good things about this ranch. I was especially impressed with their commitment to the welfare of the animals, checking them over every day, and making their health and wellbeing a priority. Many of the staff there have worked for animal rescue and humane societies in the past and it shows in the care of their horses - the horses are well fed, in good condition, sweet and gentle. The place is clean and well cared for - everything was perfect. We cried when we had to leave.
