Heard great things about this place and their sliders. I’m sure the beer is great too. But this message is specifically to the business owner or the people who are running the business. Why would you make your spring hours closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays? Not sure if I got that correct but that’s what I heard from the voice message. Springtime is like the most popular time of the year to go out To eat and drink. There are thousands of tourists that passed through here every week you should think about maybe opening up the first half of the week. And if you are closed, at least make that known on Google or navigation so that people don’t show up and waste time.

We stopped at this amazing place for lunch and we were so happy with the service the atmosphere and the food. The crab cake sliders were amazing.
We met a local named Tim who has the best advice you could ever want to live on a mountain.

OH MY WORD!!!! FOOD IS AMAZING!!!!!! The best sliders we have ever had, it’s a 10/10, there isn’t a lot of space to sit…… but it’s worth it!

We visit Durango a lot and this is the best food we have ever had around here - crazy - I know!

Go!

I didn’t have a pic bc it was all gone!

Like a little shack in the woods with unbelievably incredible food. Love this place! Went tonight but already planning to return Friday. It's truly a hidden gem! Example: wonderful green salad with beets and a lemon vinaigrette with slices of 100% grass-fed filet mignon which was super delicious. My husband had the filet mignon slider with garlic fries which I couldn't help but steal his fries. It was really good and a very quaint ski chalet feel. Seriously worth the stop. 😋💕

Absolutely love the Nugget! We come here often, summer and winter, the menu is consistent, and the food is tasty! The beer is what you want to come for! All summer long there is live music, fire pit is roaring on cold nights, great spot! If your driving to Subversion, this joint is your halfway point, and worth the stop!

An old mountain bar north of Durango. Great place to stop after skiing for a snack or drink

I have thought about this place for 2 years. We visited Durango in 2022. We stayed in an Airbnb just past this place. We were hungry and this was our only choice without going all the way back to Durango. I wish I could open up a place like this near where I live. Great slider's and atmosphere. It was like camping out with the fire pits and corn hole going on. It seemed like a lot of locals were here. My mouth waters just thinking of those sliders.

This is a great little dive bar just 2 minutes from purgatory. They have a good selection of beer. For food they have Backcountry gourmet food truck. Now these guys have like three of these food trucks up here in The Durango area. They make really good sliders and french fries. Not a huge selection but what they do offer is done very well. Great atmosphere and they have live music occasionally. Definitely a great option if you don't want pizza from the old school house and you are staying at purg.

Parking: They have parking but if they are packed and they are always packed after a day of skiing.you might have to park out on the street.
