We were able to squeeze into a booth near the front here at Last Dollar Saloon on a busy Friday night. Even though it was really packed for St. Patty's Day, we still had a good time.

I ordered a dirty martini which was pretty good but not served very cold. The mojitos were tasty. Drinks are pricy much like everything in Telluride. There is a fireplace but it wasn't lit so that took away from the atmosphere a bit.

This was my first time attending the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, and it definitely won't be…read moremy last. As a longtime festivalgoer, it's rare for me to experience so many artists for the very first time, but that added a fresh spark to the weekend. Jontavious Willis, Maggie Rose, Thundercat, Danielle Nicole, and Anders Osborne all left strong impressions, even if I can't list everyone here. That said, two performances in particular blew me away and would have been worth the trip from South Florida all on their own. Before getting to that, I have to highlight what makes this festival truly unique: the setting. Telluride Town Park sits in a valley almost completely surrounded by Colorado mountains. Having lived my whole life on flat Florida terrain, I was in awe. Pictures don't capture it--you simply have to be there. Our first day brought cold rain in the low 40s, and many people called it quits early. But those who stayed witnessed something unforgettable. In the middle of a downpour, Samantha Fish took the stage. Her voice and guitar work were so captivating that we almost forgot about the weather. Then, almost magically, the clouds parted, the sun broke through, and a stunning double rainbow arched over the snow-capped peaks that had just turned white from the storm. It was one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime moments that I'll never forget. And just when I thought nothing could top that, The Black Crowes closed out Sunday night. As a Gen-Xer who lived through the '90s, seeing the Robinson brothers back together was surreal. Chris Robinson commanded the stage with charisma somewhere between Mick Jagger and Scott Weiland, while Rich Robinson's guitar transported me right back to my twenties. It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip out west. Thank you Colorado

Telluride's "Flowerpot Parking Trap" Exposed: City Sanctions Visitor "Trickery" & "Entrapment"…read more Dropped $8,000+ on Blues & Brews weekend (VRBO, tickets, rental car, food, merch). The festival was great but... Last 5 minutes in town: * Parked behind another car in center-street 30-min max zone (engine running, hazards on) * Crew grabbed their ice cream treats from the sidewalk stand across the street * 90 seconds later - $50 ticket for "Permit Only" parking The catch? The words "Permit Required" was hidden under well-manicured flowers - on every planter down the middle of Main Street. Pictured officer as she lifted the blooms like a curtain to reveal it. Photos attached: 1. Officer holding back curtain of flowers exposing the key part of the sign 2. My spot with flowers untouched, covering the key part of sign 3. Several other cars parked in same zone and were being ticketed as fast as the officer could write them Zoom Call Court (1.5-hr wait; out-of-state Zoom Calls were last in line to be heard): * Victim before me, also out-of-state (Louisiana): Same story (but no pictures), Judge reduced fine to $40, or told to show up in court to fight * Me: Showed judge photographic evidence along with short to-the-point explanations during my hearing - still ordered to pay $40 or fly to Telluride to fight in court Judge Daniel Zemke ignored the evidence presented. This is clearly city-sanctioned "Trickery" & "Entrapment" targeting out-of-state visitors in rental cars (Locals know not to park there, or else). Paid the $40 (in pennies). Won't return (Sorry Blues & Brews); 47 other beautiful mountain towns do not hide their reasons for fines in flowerpots. ________________________________________ Beautiful town.

The biggest downside was how crowded it was. There wasn't a clear place to walk up and order at the bar, so we ended up sitting at a small table waiting for an opportunity to order. It would have been nice if someone was walking around taking drink orders or if there was a designated ordering area when the bar is busy. The bartender was fine, but nothing particularly stood out service-wise. Also, if you're traveling with a dog, this is not a pet-friendly bar. As far as I could tell, they also do not serve food in the historic bar itself, so it's best to come just for drinks and the atmosphere.

The ceviche was amazing and we got the Brussel sprouts to complement it. The steamed buns and pork were so good we ordered another one. Sitting at the bar felt like an event and the music was fun.

The duck was so tender, and there was a nice slight kick to the sauce. -Lamb kebab: The lamb was great, and I really liked the sauce that same with it. Service was excellent--so helpful and nice, in that laid-back Telluride way.

There wasn't a single whole, half, or even quarter Brussel in the bowl. I make them at home to know that's $12 for maybe 4 actual Brussels. They aren't an expensive veggie so feeding people just free floating leaves is crazy Wood ear mushroom ramen - 8/10. Not a fan of avocado on ramen but nice bouncy noodles, ample mushrooms, good miso broth. Needed some spice Brisket Sando - 10/10 husband loved it Beef ramen - 7/10 said it was a little bland and salty. This place is fusion but having the toppings be sriracha, soy sauce, and some type of powdered not spicy chili blend is criminal. Give the people some rayu, mayu, and chili crisp oil in a caddy. Even some gochujang would have done the trick. Sriracha isn't vegan and has no real heat. Telluride really loves very safe bland flavors. I get catering to middle America but get brave with your sauces to give normal eaters some options please! I'd go back but probably will smuggle in some toppings because ramen without any heat isn't ramen worth eating.

Always great drinks and their food is absolutely outstanding. And for the most part their service is absolutely impeccable. White glove service all the way. In the past we've had tomato soup, their burrata, and seasonally they do like a fish board. It is well worth the money. One small note for our most recent visit of October 2026. They tried to pull a scam on our bill. We ordered Manhattans and asked for whatever their Well liquor was. When we got the bill, they charged us for a more expensive bourbon at essentially $26 a glass. When we asked one of the other bartenders, who worth noting, was not our original bartender, he looked it up and said that our drinks should have been $18. When we called that out, our original server/ bartender came back and said oh, we'll comp you the a drink to make up the difference. However, it was still over $30 over charged. One of the managers came up to us obviously seeing the problem. We explained to her and she ended us comping us a couple of drinks and fixed the bill. While that was the right thing to do, we were more than happy to pay them the right price of the drinks in the first place. So this is just a general note, and especially here, always check your bill. We'll still come back, because I refuse to believe it's a general problem and likely a single staff member problem. But it's disheartening when it's presumed a certain something, specifically, people don't check their bill around here because it's presumed a certain economic staus. And you're just going to slap down your credit card and pay and walk away. It's worth noting that in our previous visits we've never had a problem, everything has been correct, it's been a stellar experience and it's been nothing to complain about.
