El Moro Spirits and Tavern

Durango's Strangest Shootout happened here in 1906, and El Moro Spirits and Tavern now hosts that history within its original brickwork and rich wood. We transformed this early-1900s saloon into a modern casual fine dining destination in 2013, preserving the building's character while introducing an elevated food and beverage program. Our kitchen emphasizes seasonal ingredients, rotating creative small plates, and inspired entrees that balance comfort with creativity. The bar highlights classic cocktails alongside original creations, supported by an impressive spirits collection and carefully selected wines available by the glass or bottle. We serve weekend brunch featuring Saturday and Sunday favorites, alongside sweet endings from our dessert menu which includes dessert wines. Local drafts, cans, and ciders round out the beverage offerings, with options for dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian diets. A 3% hospitality surcharge supports our staff's livable wages, and a 20% gratuity applies to parties of six or more. We stand ready to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions, ensuring every guest enjoys the depth of Durango's past in a contemporary setting.
