    Asia was very welcoming and sweet! we are from Texas and we had a great time. Old time vibes and good drinks and staff was great. Good ambiance

    The Shady Lady

    Stopped in today, had to with that name! Loved it! Sat at the bar and was able to talk to the owner Leslie. She was so sweet and shared the history of the town and bar. Definitely a cute place and love that she keeps the traditions alive in this quaint mining town

    I got molested at the shady lady and the bartender just watched. I felt very uncomfortable and was groped multiple times

    Leslie aka "The Shady Lady"... SUPER sweet gal!

    A truly enjoyable place to stop for a drink and food after the train ride to Silverton! Recently reopened by Leslie, a Silverton local (a friendly and industrious 24 year old... aka "The Shady Lady"), this is a charming restaurant and saloon right off the DSNG station. Save yourself the walk to Main Street and definitely stop here after the 3.5 hour train ride from Durango!

    Yummy burger and fries

    We went here after a long train ride. We ended up going in when they were closed. The lady out front ( dressed up as old western) asked someone if it was ok for us to go in . They let us and I'm SOO glad they did. The server was awesome ( don't know his name, no one was wearing name tags ) . The tequila sunrise was great. Thanks very much for letting us in even though you were closed

    Front half is the original

    The worst food ever. Burgers were tasteless, fries were not crispy. I know it's a busy weekend, but come on put some love on the food.

If you don't like dogs, just be aware that a very calm and sweet dog walks the halls freely to ensure guests are comfortable and happy with their stay. The bar/kitchen is open use for guests to use and there's a hiker box behind the bar. (They do not serve or sell, in other words, plenty of other places nearby for that if you want!) The Avon is within walking distance (lol) of everything you need in Silverton. Would definitely stay here again, whether I'm hiking in or driving in to visit Silverton.

More specifically, we heard what was described as "the best room in the place" offered to the gentleman checking in directly before us for $182. For nearly $300 a night, we expected a much better experience. Our toilet was also clogged, which certainly didn't help. I reached out to the hotel directly before posting a review because, as locals, I wanted to give them an opportunity to address our concerns. The response explained dynamic pricing and that rooms can range from $49-$385, depending on the room and time of year. I completely understand how dynamic pricing works, but that explanation didn't really address why we had just paid nearly $300 while hearing "the best room in the place" offered for $182 during the same check-in period. I was also disappointed that the clogged toilet was characterized as something that was "easy to miss by housekeeping." At this price point, a functioning bathroom feels like a pretty basic expectation. We really wanted to like this place and hoped, as locals, it could be somewhere we would return to or recommend to others. Unfortunately, between the price, the room issue, and the response to our concerns, the overall experience left us feeling like the value simply wasn't there.

Instead of being welcomed, we were immediately interrogated by the woman at the front, then questioned again by the bartender. We were seated and left sitting there for 30 minutes without a single person taking our order or offering service. Our waitress even apologized and admitted she "hates that she can't help us," making it obvious the staff had intentionally decided not to serve us. Throughout the entire time, my service dog was exactly where a service dog should be--quietly lying under the table at my feet, causing absolutely no disruption. After waiting half an hour, I finally asked if we were ever going to be served. That's when we were told the issue was my service dog. When I questioned this, the bartender's response was to tell me I "didn't need an attitude." I've written maybe five Yelp reviews in my life, but this experience deserves to be shared. The way we were treated was humiliating, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable. It felt like we were being singled out simply because I have a disability and rely on a service animal. All six of us got up and left because of how we were treated. Small businesses deserve support when they treat people with respect. This business did the opposite. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I sincerely hope no one else has to experience the kind of discrimination we did.

The homemade chips were fresh and crispy, and the queso was a perfect complement. The hot sauce had a wonderfully roasted flavor that was unique and delicious.
