Poor value. I guess $14/drink is the going rate in Ouray. Or the owner just wanted a new yacht Price per person: $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
This was the most awkward, awful exchange and experience I have had anywhere! The bartender was disinterested, completely rude and annoyed by us entering. He would not engage, or smile. He would not help with a selection. There was an awkward silence when we entered. Zero eye contact or nicety. Just stood in front of us waiting for an order. No music, or even jovial chatter from the two other tables. We even asked the guy if he was alright. He started blankly and said ‘sure’ and then walked away. He complained with profanity about the way his bar was set up when we asked for a particular bourbon. He went outside to smoke twice while we finished a cocktail. He sat and ate at the bar while we waited to pay. 1/2 of our party wouldn’t order drinks to push along our stay. We asked ‘when’s the live music’ that was paired on the door of the crypt we entered. ‘9’ he said and walked away. I doubt it. No way anyone would patronize this place intentionally. We are business owners in service and food and beverage and if this was an employee of ours he would have been fired without a blink. The life sucking environment, disgusting red carpet, filthy bathroom with curtains instead of doors should have been closed by the health department. F across the board. If your the owner and reading this, he never gave us his name, he was working on Tuesday night 9/12/23 at 8 pm. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Do they charge $8 per Budweiser? I have no idea but that would be a lot. They didn't give me an itemized receipt, but that's what it cost me. Still, it was a lot of fun at karaoke tonight and I'd have paid it. 3 stars.
Brad is great! Good lil dive bar in downtown Ouray. Cold beer and great drinks. Love the vibe!
Do NOT come here if you are from out of town!! Bartender and local regulars are SO RUDE!!!!!! We stopped in (from Denver) and were met with complete hostility. I've had such great experiences with locals being so kind here.... Definitely not at this bar, though. I would give this bar negative stars if I could.
