There are around 20 bars in Telluride and many more restaurants. After a day on the slopes, locals and visitors alike can be found enjoying a late afternoon drink in many of Telluride’s favorite après ski spots, such as The Wildflower or Leimgruber’s for beer, or sipping a margarita at Swede Finn Hall.
After hours Telluride veers more to quiet sophistication and family-friendly restaurants. Cocktail hour at the historic New Sheridan Bar, with a turn-of-the-century hand-carved wood bar and a billiards room, has a great social atmosphere and is located on Main Street.
The now closed Blue Point’s Noir Bar, was a swank and hip martini bar, replete with leather sofas, faux fur bench seats, and leopard-print spotted carpets.
For those who prefer a drink in a quiet and cozy place, Allred’s is also a great place.
