New Sheridan Bar
This historic bar remains much as it was when it originally opened in 1895, maintaining many original appointments like the carved mahogany bar, ornate light fixtures, and mahogany wall-paneling. This is where the old school cowboys played poker and rumor has it a horse will still come into the bar on occasion!

& The Last Dollar Saloon
Be in the heart of town and yet “up” in the mountains on a roof top bar. Telluride roof top bars are that rare – there are only these two!​
