Orio's Roadhouse

came in a on Thursday night to grab a drink, tried the Purple Fucker. It was pretty good, like a liquid razzle or something sour. I do recommend this concoction. The bartender was pretty fast as well.

Very cool bar - and yea, it's popular with college kids.  Friends and I would come here after our studying was done (psh, yea... most nights).  The pool tables aren't usually backed up, the drinks are always cold, the "Purple Fucker" is really good, and the staff is cool.  The music is loud, the bar is kinda smokey, and it just *feels* like a fun place to hang out.

Pretty inexpensive to run a tab here.

This place seems to be famous among the college kids of Durango.  There is a shot here called a "Purple Fucker".  I'm not sure what's in it, but I was told Red Bull is part of it.  These things are very good and very dangerous!  Shoot 'em at your own risk!

The other perks to this place include cheap drinks, pool, laid back atmosphere and YOU CAN SMOKE IN HERE!  That was really nice.  It's rare anymore that you can smoke with a drink in hand.

I stopped by this place twice while I was in town and both times the staff was super friendly and we had a good time.  I will definitely have to stop in again during my next visit to Durango!
