El Rancho Bar

Good Gawd how badly do I miss the Ranch.  I miss watching the Cowboy Days Parade from the window while eating Durango Diner breakfast and enjoying a lil hair of the dog from the night before.  To be sure, there can be crazy Friday or Saturday nights, but we don't talk about the club.  The best part of El Rancho is the history, the heritage and the non judgmental morning club.  Viva El Rancho Forever!!

Me and my buddy ended up here all three nights we were in Durango.  Not saying there aren't other cool bars in Durango, but this place is just a solid bar that doesn't need frills to attract clientele.  Its little more spacious then most places in town.  Also they play good music equally good crowd, and most importantly bartenders that know how to be bartenders.  Friendly and efficient.  I really look forward to my next Durango trip and El Rancho is a big reason.

Best dive bar in town: $2.50 PBR, free wi-fi, and TVs showing live games or snow boarding shows. The bartenders are a good bunch of people, and the crowd is mostly regulars.

Since this place is a dive, don't be surprised if a fight breaks out, or water suddenly starts pouring from the ceiling. Beware your fancy frocks.
