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!

After taking a nice walk, I decide to stop and get a bite to eat. I was able to be seated right away. Picking a nice area in the back to sit, I was greeted quick and was given bottle of water, and a nice stainless cup to drink....because the water is cold the stainless cup kept the water cold for a good while....and a bowl of water for my dog. After a little time to look at the menu I ordered the burger and salad. The time for from order to food was good, I ordered my burger rare, the burger was delicious and 1/4 lb was plenty and shared some with my dog the side salad was good as well. The sauce in the side was a good pairing with the burger. The only issue I have was the service from my waitress. She didn't come back once to ask me how everything was if I needed anything else and I didn't get asked if I wanted more water. I would recommend this place for the food and ambiance but, the service could be much better.
