Crested Butte help needed
 

We are spending 3 nights in Crested Butte in late June and would appreciate input on our dining & drinking choices. Here is what I have come up with so far, but we are totally flexible and would appreciate any and all suggestions. .

1st night happy hour (HH) @ Coal Creek Grill, dinner Rice Asian Bistro

2nd night HH @ The Eldo Brew Pub, dinner Django’s

3rd night HH The Dogwood or Brick Oven Pizzeria, dinner Ginger Cafe

Our hotel offers a continental breakfast that we would take advantage of at least once, other breakfasts or lunches would be at Mountain Cafe and the Guild Cafe.

Ginger Cafe has great ginger martinis - our dinner there was disappointing...or perhaps my expectations were too high.

Thanks for your response. I took a closer look and decided to pass on Ginger Cafe.

Our favorite restaurant in CB is Lil’s. Sushi, seafood, hot rocks, steak.

Ryce is great. Inside there are booths along the river and outside has a huge deck.

You should make reservations for both restaurants.

if you like Mexican, Bonez is much better than Donita’s.

its been a long time since I’ve eaten at Django’s but people like it. My parents do but I’m gluten free and dairy free and my son has a lot of food allergies so it’s hard for us to find food there to eat.

we don’t go out for cocktails but you should consider Montoya the rum maker/ distributor that’s local to CB.

and if you like ice cream, don’t miss 3rd Bowl.

skip the Eldo, it’s a late night dive bar, not for cocktails.

If if you are there on a Friday night, it’s fun to sit at 9380 and watch the mountain bikers come down the hill. The lift runs late on fridays and I think Wednesdays.

Thanks williamscb13. I am taking your recommendation and dropping Eldo in favor of Montanya Distillers. I think we will
be making our way to Third Bowl one evening as well.

Have fun and report back!

We will be up there for the 4th of July.

I will do my best to post a TR, but I have had problems posting photos on this board. Here is the rough map of our trip:
