Great place for what it is: a dive bar. The bartender was pleasant. The pitchers were reasonably priced.

There is a distinct smell when you enter 8th Ave. Tavern. It smells like barrels of cheap whiskey…read morewere spilled and seeped through the carpet and into the very bones of the building. There is a great chance that once your enter this tavern, that you too will smell like cheap whiskey has seeped into your soul. Behind the bar is a huge wheel-o-fortune that patrons can spin for drinks. However, where ever the wheel lands is what you have to drink. Most of the drinks I've never heard of, but whenever someone plonks down their money and goes for a spin, the entire bar turns to watch and cheer or jeer. Last time I was in there,Tim, the bartender, made me a Surfer On Acid. I can't remember the last time I had that shot, but I'm pretty sure it was college. Tim is the best bartender in town. He knows all his patrons by name and their favorite drink. There doesn't seem to be an off night at the Tavern. Thursday night is karaoke, and on various nights I've heard songs like: Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder, One by Metallica, and the obligatory Johnny Cash. The only downsides to this place is that sometimes the cops like to cruise by, and the drunken idiocy from regulars can be pugnacious, but hey - isn't gritty realness one of the reasons why we go to dive bars?

Just got cussed out by some lady that worked here maybe the owner I have no clue, she had blonde…read morehair and smelt like alcohol. I'm a first time RV traveler. I parked in the middle of an empty parking lot because it's 12:30 pm, and the tavern closes at 2 am. No one is there yet. I just grabbed a quick brunch across the street and an amazing brunch spot called Rupert's! That lady can kick rocks. I imagine you won't get treated fairly at this tavern.

I love this place. In a town loaded with fancy pants crap for tourists and all kinds of outside…read moremoney, Orio's Roadhouse is an oasis of regular, local fun. With 3 pool tables, a tornado foosball table, good local beers on tap and a juke box loaded with good music, this is a great place to find a nice collection of locals, students and bikers out having a drink on pretty much any night of the week in the summer. Bonus points for the owners fighting the good fight for smokers rights! I don't smoke, but think bar owners should have the right to decide whether to allow smoking or not. The owners, Heidi and Rob Orio, went to Denver and fought to get the smoking ban exemption afforded to "cigar bars" and won ( http://cbs4denver.com/politics/local_story_031072430.html ). A lot of politicians were upset that their "cigar bar" expemption could be used by places other than the big money casinos they intended to protect with the expemption. Good for the Orios, and good for Durango!

Then 2 of us incurred an additional charges on our credit card for $25 each. Called Orio's and they said they will do nothing about it.. FRAUD!! On our way out, I told the bouncer we were leaving because the bartender was super rude.. The bouncer yelled out "Have the day you deserve".. HORRIBLE!!!! This place doesn't deserve to be in business. Hence why there were 6 people in there on a Saturday night.. I will never step foot back in this establishment!! Def don't use credit card.. They will steal from you.

I've eaten at the Durango Diner since my college days, forty years ago. Being in the area I was…read morebeyond happy to see it was still open so our final breakfast for this brief trip had to be here. The restaurant is tiny, a narrow shotgun type unit in a building along main street. We managed to get one of their five tables and were promptly served drinks and time to look over the menu before ordering the Country Benedict. My coffee was kept filled as we waited for our order. As soon as the plate hit the table, I knew that even though the owner had changed, the spirit of the place remained. The plate of food was massive; more than the two of us could eat. The plate included two halves of an excellent biscuit, half of a large sausage patty on each, an over easy egg; all smothered in country sausage gravy. The other half of the plate had a mound of beautiful browned hash browns. Enough for four people or at least two very hungry people. It was glorious and nostalgic. The flavor was everything I wanted it to be. If you are in or near Durango, please consider giving this true old diner a try. Thanks to Greg, the new owner, for continuing Gary's recipes and hospitality.

This is such a tiny restaurant, but super friendly and helpful folks running this place.... And…read morethey all seemed to work together and provided a really fun and welcoming environment! We stopped in for breakfast when we didn't realize there was an art festival going on in the city of Durango, so we expected it to feel crowded, busy and rushed. They found a table for us right away (part of that was lucky timing on our part), but provided great service.... Answering all of our questions and asking where we are from and overall friendly service. We all ordered the breakfast burritos and it was better than what we expected. I highly recommend the green chili sauce they smother the burrito in.... It's super tasty! And in the end, the price was lower than we expected.... So, great environment, great food. 5 stars! I would be happy to come back to this one!
