Last Dollar Saloon image

Last Dollar Saloon

The Last Dollar Saloon, known affectionately for over three decades by Telluriders as "The Buck," is the local hangout. Ice-cold brews are the beverage of choice, and the taps flow freely late into the night, especially during peak ski season. Don't expect much in the way of snappy decor or hackneyed themes because this bar keeps its simple. You'll find a dart board, digital juke box and a couple of video games. To make up for the lack of swanky decor, they serve pitchers—that's right, pitchers!—of beer. Tables up front provide excellent views of Main Street, making for great people watching.

Fresh Horses image

Fresh Horses

In June 1889, Butch Cassidy rode into Telluride with his band of outlaws to rob San Miguel Valley Bank. Closely trailed by the law, they raced to Double Cabin for Fresh Horses allowing them to escape! This is no time for bravery, it's time for a beer. Life on the run requires Fresh Horses. Follow the locals to our laid-back watering hole, and enjoy the après ski vibe with canned cocktails and freshly made savory empanadas. Ski (or walk!) straight up to our slope-side fire pits and experience Telluride's newest on-mountain bar.
