The Abbey is the best live music venue in Durango for sure!!! It just recently got a little makeover with a nice new bar on the dance floor, theres also a bar in the lobby as well as upstairs, so waiting for a drink at a show isnt too bad. Great sound, awesome balcony spots and nice leather couches to chill on too! it is small and intimidate which is really nice when big acts come because you feel like you are at  private show. Bartenders are always very friendly and always gettin down too!!!!
my favorite place in Durango to see a show no doubt. Love the ABBEY!!!
P.s.- the bathrooms that the Abbey and Cuckoos share together are VERY clean ladies!!!
