8th Ave. Tavern 509 East 8th Avenue, Durango, CO 81301

"So I was having a bad night and went to this bar for the first time ever. Sonnie and Kris absolutely saved my night. I felt welcome and safe, 13/10 recommend. I usually don't like bars yet I met a bunch of super cool people and had an amazing time. Sonnie made sure I was enjoying myself each step of the way. Eventually he started gushing about his wife, it was so sweet. This bar ensured I had a good time and got home safe. If you're looking for a second home, you've found it here. From bartender to patron, this place is incredible."

"Stopped by for Karaoke during Snowdown... what a FUN and Exciting night. Everyone was so into it! The bartenders, which included the owner himself, were on point... cranking everything out like it was nothing. Can't wait to have the time to go back!!"

"The best place to go in Durango on a Wednesday or a Sunday!! It’s always a fun time at this bar but Wednesday and Sundays they have the greatest, most fun, kind, electric, and of course beautiful bartender!! Michelle makes this bar a 10/10! If you’re looking for great time check this place out. Michelle’s makes the best drinks and always has everyone smiling :)"

"Awesome local bar. Bartender Michelle was super friendly. 1st time there and felt like a regular."

"We were there on a Saturday during Snowdown for the karaoke contest..The staff was very friendly and helpful. They served big trays of food that night but don't know if that's normal or not. Strangely enough they have a part of the bar which allows smoking.I guess because it's kind of a tent structure they get around the no smoking ordinance. Karaoke was great and patrons of all ages got along fine. They have one pool table. There's plenty of parking and is handicapped accessible. They accept credit cards for payment. The bar is kind of open even when crowded which I appreciate .We plan to go back for the karaoke in the future!"
