“ Oh my God! I’ve been to a lot of classy bars as a front for dive bars in my in my time, but never have I ever had mint slapped so perfectly for a cocktail by Shae. Apart from being one classy babe, she also moonlights as the bouncer and has a wicked heel kick. What a great time and if you come across this fine establishment of the Last Dollar Saloon you better tip heavy! ”
“ Ask any local their favorite bar in Telluride, and they won’t hesitate to tell you “the Buck.” This bar is the social crossroads of Telluride—a place where ski bums, billionaires, and everyone in between can come for a refreshing drink with good people. If you are some yuppie tourist who needs special attention (like a lot of the negative reviewers on here), there are plenty of other places you can go (have you considered, Aspen? I hear it’s lovely there). But if you want an authentic Telluride experience for a cold beer or delicious cocktail, the Buck is an institution. The margaritas are legendary, the rooftop view is unmatched, and the owners/staff are dedicated members of the community. I love this bar. ”
