Stopped in at El Rancho for breakfast. They have an interesting set up. The food comes over from…read morethe Durango Diner, but you're required to also have an alcoholic beverage, which you have to order from the bar. Anyway, the staff is super friendly and the bartender was totally cool pouring me a snit (side car of light beer) to go with my bloody. It came to just $9 which seemed like a good deal. The food from the Durango Diner is always solid diner fare.

I am from out of town and they treated me so rudely when I was confused as to why. They didn't even try to have a conversation with me as to why. Both the manager and the bouncer were just genuinely so rude and there was not a need to take it to the level that they were taking it, they could have been so much more professional about the situation; yelling remarks as I walked away, which wasn't professional and quite disrespectful from the manager of the establishment. Would not recommend, very disappointed..

Orio's roadhouse is less of a bar and more of a cursed artifact. Walking in you're immediately hit…read moreby the scent of something rotten (spilled beer, rotting wood, and the bartenders B.O.) lol. I've had bad service before, but the bartender at this place took it to a whole new level. He was straight up disrespectful. From the second I stepped up to the bar, his attitude was unbearable. As I analyzed, I understood he's just a very sad individual just looking to pick on some hispanics. I feel so sorry for the establishment he represents. Such a goddamn disgrace. He was starring at me all night like I had personally wronged him. I'm not sure what I did to personally offend the staff but from the moment I walked in, I have never been treated as poorly as I was at Orios roadhouse. 0/5 stars but I have to put 1. I will never ever return.

DON'T TRUST THE BARTENDERS HERE! THEY WILL DRUG YOU…read more My boyfriend and I went to "smoke weed" with a bartender from here after closing one night in 2013. The bartender didn't smoke with us from the bowl he loaded and shortly after we realized it wasn't actually weed and that he drugged us. He then followed us home and did some pretty fucked up things. I have filed a police report. Also, forgot to mention I had a fake ID and was a minor at the time.

We ended up eating at Durango Diner twice during our visit, and that says everything…read more The food here is absolutely outstanding. One of the things that really stood out is that they grate the hash browns right in front of you. You can taste the difference, fresh, crispy, and done right. On our first visit, I had the chile relleno omelette with hash browns, and it was incredible, perfectly cooked with amazing flavor. We liked it so much that we came back before leaving town. This time I had the classic breakfast with eggs, sausage, hash browns, and their green chili... and wow. The green chili was so good we actually bought a jar to take home. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our waitress was full of energy, genuinely friendly, and made us feel so welcome, it honestly made our day (or at least gave us a fantastic start to it). If you're in Durango, this place is a must. We made it our last stop before heading out of town, and we'll absolutely be back.

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!
