If you’re looking for a bar that captures the quirky, laid-back spirit of Crested Butte, this spot is it. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with friendly smiles, strong pours, and a colorful atmosphere that feels like home.🏔️
The bartenders here are absolute legends—super welcoming, quick with service, and they make you feel like part of the family right away. Drinks are cold, well-made, and reasonably priced (bonus points for serving them with a heavy hand).🥃
The décor is half dive-bar, half mountain-town charm—think Christmas lights, a moose head decked out in tinsel, and walls full of local memorabilia. Even the bathroom pep talk (“Everything will be just fine… just breathe”) keeps the vibe lighthearted and fun.🫎
This isn’t some polished, pretentious place—it’s AUTHENTIC, buzzing with energy, and full of locals and travelers swapping stories over beers and whiskey. The kind of bar where you sit down for one drink and end up staying for the night.
Bottom line: If you’re in Crested Butte, skip the fancy stuff and come here. Great drinks, great people, and an atmosphere that screams mountain-town soul!

We were camping and got set up late. Everywhere else was either closed (most close at 9), not kid-friendly and rude, or out of food — Butte burger was out of burgers — but we walked into Talk of the Town to find the sweetest gentlemen who were willing to heat us up some pizzas in their own toaster oven. Felt like the only place in this mostly rude town that actually cared. Big thanks to Noah and the bar owner for taking good care of us :)

Good atmosphere and frequently live music. However, service was a bit lacking and management seems a bit off.

If you want a place to enjoy a delicious drink and a pleasant atmosphere, this is the place to be and as a plus it closes at 3 am.

Mostly good music but a very surly bartender. Maybe she was having a bad night. Maybe it's supposed to be part of the charm. Either way, it's a bar so no big deal. Pool tables upstairs.

Mary is a great owner! The place is a dive bar but safe for everyone. Mary made drinks, open windows, move a pool table for live music, and all over everything. Coming back soon!

Great place! Friendly owner making sure everything is being taken care of, variety of live music, and good prices on the drinks
Maybe my favorite bar in the world. Fantastic drinks and very fair prices (especially for the area), very friendly staff and locals, and a great atmosphere. The perfect place to grab a drink with friends. I wish I could take this bar with me everywhere I go. The owners and bartenders and just the loveliest people you will ever meet, too. This place is everything!!!

We had big hopes for a genuine and authentic Colorado dive bar with good people, kind souls and cool music. We found the exact opposite. Some of the locals were friendly, but the bartender and owner were incredibly unkind and rude. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming night out. They lost our business for the rest of our stay and when we return to Crested Butte, they won’t have it then either. I highly believe the bartender and owner are on some sort of power trip. Avoid if you want to have fun.
