Van Atta Est. 1886 | Telluride Cocktail Bar & Restaurant

Our building has stood at the center of Telluride since 1886, originally housing the Van Atta Dry Goods and Clothing store that outfitted miners during the town’s early boom years. Today, that historic space serves as a speakeasy-style cocktail bar and restaurant, offering a sophisticated atmosphere defined by chandeliers and intimate seating perfect for two or four guests. We specialize in craft cocktails, including crisp bubbles and balanced espresso martinis, paired with a unique menu of small plates and mains. Guests frequently return for wagyu sliders, wagyu steak specials, and brunch favorites like salmon toast, pork belly and peaches grits, and veggie frittatas. We also serve homemade chips and crispy artichokes as appetizers. Reservations are recommended for groups, as our cozy, luxe interior fills quickly. Day drinking and dinner service both thrive in this refined dining experience rooted in Telluride’s commercial history.
