Main Avenue Durango
Durango is home to such a variety of restaurants, you might forget you’re in a small town. Options include everything from hot spot bistros to old-style steak houses, fresh seafood, authentic Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Southwestern, Pub-style, Continental and more. The styles range from prix-fixe to take-out, and you can take your pick of seats, from patio to booth to barstool - or maybe courtesy limo service to dinner peaks your interest.

Whatever your style, whatever your budget, Durango’s restaurants are ready to satisfy your mountain appetite. With great breweries, live music venues, and a true Main Street appeal, Durango is full of nightlife. Starting from the north side of town, Carvers Brewery has an ever changing sampling of great beers and food specials. This cozy setting is ideal for getting together with friends and comparing notes on the day.

Ken & Sue's at 937 Main and Ken & Sue's East at 636 Main, are two of Durango's favorite bistros. Stop in for great food, superb service, and a casual atmosphere. You can see what's happening on Main Avenue from Frontiers 'Eye on Durango' webcam. Also on Main Avenue is Durango's only blues club, Scoot 'n Blues. Tony Milen has been on a crusade to bring great blues and great food to Durango and has decked his joint out with his personal collection of classic Indian and Harley Motorcycles. If nothing else, dropping into Scoot 'n Blues will ensure you a museum-like visit to this motorcycle hall of fame. Great dining doesn't stop when you leave Main Avenue!

Just off Main on 2nd Avenue, you will find Steamworks Brewing Company. With a huge facility and copper beer vats in plain view, Steamworks is one of the best spots in town to sample good ales and to enjoy great pub-style cuisine. If margaritas and great Mexican food are what you're after, both Gazpachos and Franciscos should be on your priority list. When you're in the mood for an old fashioned steak try the Ore House, one of the area's oldest and finest restaurants, with an atmosphere that truly reflects the essence and history of southwestern Colorado. And when it's seafood you're after, The Red Snapper is the place to visit.

Located in a 100-year old historic building just off Main, their menu includes steaks, prime rib, fresh seafood, nightly specials and an array of homemade desserts. The atmosphere, great food, and award winning service combine to create an unforgettable dining experience.
