The Gray Tavern

A 1965 liquor license anchors The Gray Tavern (also known as Cahoots Tavern) on Main Street in Ouray, where a balcony offers direct views of the San Juan Mountains. The venue identifies as an official Packers bar, featuring a dedicated '100% Packers Bar' section alongside a drink menu that includes Hamms beer, Colorado spirits, and over 25 varieties of gin. A unique social draw is the 'Pink Pony Club' membership, which provides patrons with a sequin cowboy hat, stick horse, branded bandana, mustache, sunglasses, and a signature cocktail, with photos displayed on the member wall. The space doubles as a thrift shop, regularly stocking vintage items such as 90s neon windbreakers, corduroy blazers, and North Face jackets. Guests can utilize a free digital photo booth with quirky props or visit the lower patio, which is dog-friendly and serves 'Best Bud Brews' craft dog beer in bowls topped with whipped cream. The tavern holds a 'to-go' liquor license, allowing visitors to purchase souvenir bottles of Colorado spirits to take home.
