At one time it had developed a reputation for fights and other nonsense. Today it is a very clean and comfortable place to be with many friendly regulars, and a great staff! Not trying to brag but I personally feel it is overall a great place to relax, play pool, shuffle board, fuseball and listen to pretty much any kind of music you want although many locals prefer country and southern rock, or old time rock and roll. To the modern screaming stuff and rap, however, all are welcome to a point. It is mostly an older crowd but we have great young people that frequent us as well. It is a place where rude and violent behavior are not tolerated. The bar tenders are friendly and capable. I hope to see many more people from all over the world visit us. You can have a drink and order food from any restaurant on third Street and have it delivered. Come visit us and see for yourself Leta Mcdaniel

I have mixed feelings about this place. My first visit was great and the 2nd (and last) wasn't. My…read morefriends and I were in town 2 weeks ago and were staying at the Hampton Inn. We all had been up since 3am, boarded a very early morning flight and then drove for 4 hours. We were all in desperate need of a drink, darts and a juke. Yelp pointed us to the Texan and off we went. Our first visit was on a Friday late afternoon and our bartender was Jill. She was super sweet and very attentive. We played some pool, cranked some Stones and had a few brews followed by some tequila shots. We stayed a few hours and all was good. Our second visit was on Sunday. Our intention was to do some shopping, but apparently the whole town is closed on Sunday. Me being from the big city wasn't aware of this! So instead of shopping, we hit the only place that was open - The Texan! It was around 2:30 or so and had an appt in neigboring Glenwood Springs so we couldn't stay too long. We started off with a few cold ones and some pool. We then decided a few shots couldn't hurt. I chose Crown, the bff chose tequila and the other bff had SoCo. We also decided Katy Perry wasn't our type of music and put $5 in the juke. On went Rush, Black Sabbath, Stones, Aerosmith, Danzig, Pantera, Slayer...you get my drift. Somewhere between Danzig and Rush some woman decided to put $10 in the juke, override my tunes and announce "Enough with the puppy killing music!!" WTF?! Do we look like satan worshippers?! What did she choose?? More Katy Perry, Pharrel and some other bubble gum music. This was obviously work by a local. We decided it was time for us to leave after that rude ass remark. We were dropping cash and were just starting to have a good time. I get it if not everyone likes our kind of music, but save the fucking remarks and don't be an asshole and override every single song. It's a bar for fucks sake. Star ratings: The bartenders were gems, it's clean and they have a good digital juke that had good 1cr songs and being open on a Sunday is a definite plus!

Beginning with the greeting, they were absolutely lovely, very polite, sat us right away, we went on a non busy day so we had pretty much the second floor to ourselves. The host was lovely and then our waitress came and was just as nice, a great way to start a meal. We ended up getting the buffalo wings, SO GOOD, crunchy, lathered in sauce, tender enough, so flavorful, with a side of ranch. We had the onion rings, and let me tell you, those were BIG rings ! Again, nice and crunchy and so enjoyable. Last but not least, we had the loaded nachos and WOAH! Let me tell ya, this dish can feed up to 4+ people! It was only 2 of us and we were in shock at how big these nachos were so keep that in mind! They had beef, pico de gallo, salsa, cheese and they used different chips too, the regular and the blue tortilla chips, omg MOUTH WATERING! Full of flavor, very well made, everything about them was great! To drink we only had club sodas with lime but they do have a full bar and by the looks of it, they had it all so if Youre a drinker, this is also the place for you! The place was chill, dimmed lights, nice music not overly loud so you can still carry on a conversation , and very clean which is always on top of my list. The price was reasonable and I just loved it! This place was great in every way! Definitely HIGHLY recommend!

Truly one of the best dinning experiences I have ever had. The use of locally sourced meat from CCR and Law's Bourbon is such a great add. The atmosphere is trendy and cool, way above an average "mountain town" dining but still warm and friendly. our service was absolutely perfect. Food - the steak tartare is completely unmatched in presentation & preparation. I love traditional steak tartare but this was a really great take on it. The menu has a considerable presence of peas and beans incorporated into this dishes which is a unique touch from other high end restaurants. The dishes were amazingly plated, and the tastes were so tremendously brought together with quality. Do NOT miss the pistachio tiramisu. The absolute best dessert I have ever had. Words really can't do it justice! This is a spectacular dining experience for any city!

My first review I wrote immediately after the visit magically "disappeared" so here is my…read morereattempt- It was the very end of February and our first time in Glenwood Springs; this restaurant was recommended by a friend - Inside there is a fun pub/ bar yet somewhat classy vibe with brick walls and large screen tvs on display. The host was pleasant and immediately took us to a table for two. After more than a few minutes, a waitress arrived. I can't even tell you her name, bc she never introduced herself; she basically walked up and asked (almost annoyingly) "hey, are you drinkin' or what?" - the whole night she had this attitude and barely checked on us. More on her later though... I ordered the bomb diggity [bourbon, alchermes, cinnamon, spicy peppers, lemon, szechuan bitters] - it was disappointing for me as I anticipated more "burn and spice" with those ingredients but was actually more on the sweet side, but not a bad cocktail by any means (just less my style). My wife ordered the get squashed [tequila, dry curacao, allspice roasted squash, agave, lime, hickory salt rim] - had this with mezcal instead - which was what I would call a very fun cocktail and would definitely get again! We ordered the Steak tartare for an appetizer, followed by the Red wine cavatelli for the wife and pan roasted colorado striped bass for myself. After a decent amount of wait time, our entrees arrived (delivered by food runners)- We ask, what happened to our appetizer? They indicate they will find our server. Our unnamed waitress comes back to the table and made a comment something to the effect of "the kitchen must have messed it up," no apology, no "let me check on that," just shrugged it off and asked "so do you still want it?" The entrees were good but too much time has passed for me to provide significant detail here, we were also just flustered by the waitress-tartare situation. Ultimately we decided we would still like the steak tartare and would just consider it "dessert" since we had been looking forward to it, and I'm glad we did. It was DELISH. The tots? Fantastic and unique base for the tartare. When the bill came I am pretty sure this is the first and only time our waitress smiled. There was, again, no apology or comped portion of the bill. We did speak with the manager (who was super personable and understanding) to let him know our concerns about said waitress. Overall, the food here is worth it but that waitress should find another job, perhaps one with less human interaction.
