9 Best Cocktail Bars near Ouray

“Stopped here last week while in town for some lunch. The food was delicious! We had a German hot dog and a brat with hatch green chili. Both were amazing. The tables have great views of the mountains. Service was fast and friendly. Wish we had time to go once more before we left.“

“Amazing place!! The bar is top notch! Eric is an amazing mixologist!! We experienced the chocolate martini, the Smoky Sunset the Dragon Vapour and the Western Deluxe Old Fashioned! 5 stars! Make time to visit this blast from the past!“

“Had my husband cancel our anniversary dinner reservation bc I got my hair done and it looks absolutely whack - we still ordered takeout from PM and it was absolutely incredible. Thank you to the staff for still making wonderful food and accommodating. Will totally be back when you open again next season.“

“My husband and I only spent 3 days in Telluride and came here for dinner twice, which says a lot about the quality of this place. The vegan options are amazing and the mushroom fest ramen was the star, no doubt.

What really makes this place excellent, however, are the employees. We had the same server/bartender twice, Danielle, and she was soooo absolutely lovely to talk to, she made great drinks, and kept the pace of our meals moving at just the right speed. Can't thank her specifically enough for her hospitality!!“

“I have eaten all over every state and even out of the country. This is the best quality food for what we’re eating I’ve ever had! I had the beef nachos and the taco nachos. Absolutely amazing! The shrimp tacos were the best ever! Amazing service don’t miss out on eating here.“

“Great Food! Great Drinks! Good Friends! You get to watch the Alpine Glow every night!“

“The National was FABULOUS! It is an extremely well done restaurant that I will most certainly come back to next time I am in Telluride. The restaurant itself is small but has a very lively atmosphere. The service was great- we had a friendly server who gave great recommendations, which I think always makes the difference between a good and great restaurant. As far as food, we got the short rib, gnocchi, arugula salad, cacio e pepe, and the focaccia. Every item was fabulous EXCEPT the focaccia. I was super disappointed as it kind of seemed just like a loaf of sandwich bread... But the short ribs- amazing. The cacio e pepe was the best I have ever had... perfect amount of flavor. Both the gnocchi and the pasta itself in the cacio e pepe were great homemade pastas with perfect textures! Lastly- the arugula salad was absolutely amazinggg. It had the best nutty/zesty flavor and it is one I am going to try and make at home. So good! Make a reservation if possible, although we got lucky and walked in without one and were seated. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a well done flavorful meal!“
