Moe’s Starlight Lounge

Eeeeegads! Stay sooooo far away from this place. Upon entering, the bartenders were taking shots with some super obnoxious 21 years olds. They tried to fight my husband and me. The girl tried to make moves on me. It was suuuuuper sketchy. Everyone in the place was being seriously over served and were getting obliterated.
Also, I’m pretty sure they’re breaking a health code violation with their Bacontini. They have a vat of what I’m assuming is vodka filled with bacon that looks like it’s been sitting there for a lifetime. If you drink a martini glass full, then your drink is free and I think your next one is free? Don’t do it. I cannot imagine it ending well for anyone.
Anyway, stay far away from the crazies here.

Moe’s does awesome in regard to beer! They have great specials and everything is reasonably priced. Our ticket came out to $ 22 for five beers. The inside of the bar has TVs, bar stools, a ping pong table, couches, and chairs next to windows so you can look out on Main Street. There is also a patio out back. I wasn’t able to try their food, so I can’t rate them on that! As far as beer goes — great place to relax, have a beer and watch sports. Oh, and the bartender and server were on the ball! Super nice and sociable. The bartender recommended some great hiking spots for us!

Best Bar in the world and I’m from California! I had an amazing time. Skyler! Seriously what an amazing bartender! Great service!

This is the place to be in Durango. Cheap beers, and fun atmosphere. Bartenders were on their game last night. Poured 44 drop shots without ignoring everyone else. Cool outdoor dance area with a stage for bands.

Love the new additions to the place. Theyve got a Great Staff, fun drinks, an impressive whiskey stock, and a small but delicious food menu. And when that group of aussies come into town, its definitely the place to be

Went on New Year’s Eve! Bartenders were awesome! Very personable, attentive, and entertaining. Music was great too!

Small Bar but they had cool drink specials. The bartender was awesome.

I was in Durango on business and just finished dinner at Carver Brewery and decided to walk across the street to Moe’s.
Its a great bar with plenty of room, great bar tenders, great music, and great beer selection.
Also shout out to Rick the head dishwasher there. Can’t say enough great things about this place and its owner. Keep up the great work!

Dive-​y bar. Not too crowded. Cheap. Friendly people. Add alcohol, and it’s the happiest place on earth for the moment. :) I think there’s a pool table or a ping pong table. I can’t remember!

There’s no way I would have known about this place (or gone in) had it not been for a comment scrawled in the guestbook of the hostel where I stayed in Durango — «Don’t miss Moe’s for dirt (y) cheap martinis!»
Martinis? Cheap? I’m there.
My roommate and I had been wandering around the town with no plans. We had a day to kill and knew no one in town. Solution? Drinking. However, the night was filled with problems.
Problem #1: This place has the most epic martini menu I’ve ever seen. We’re talking about at least five pages of martini options, and they’re split into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. A beginner martini would be your average gin martini. Intermediate martinis introduce different liqueurs and interesting add-​ins. Advanced martinis? Vodka, beer, and a cigarette. Yes, a cigarette in the martini. Oof. This resulted in the mixing of much liquor and at least 10 minute window after each martini in which I picked what to drink next.
Problem #2: Durango is at a much higher altitude than, say, Washington, DC. Result? Lowered tolerance.
Problem #3: Lowered tolerance + above average alcohol consumption + impromptu salsa lessons on their back patio (ongoing!) Oh, the churning!
Problem #4: Everyone in Durango is so damn friendly. Within 20 minutes we’d become best friends with the bartender, taken mysterious green shots (the contents of which I still do not know), and been told exactly where to go, what to do, and who to meet. As a result we ended up spending three days in town instead of one and spent solid chunks of time drinking, barbecuing, lazing in the sun, rafting on the Animas River, and generally having the best time of our lives.
Oh, and these aren’t $ 9 martinis. They’re in the realm of $ 5. And if they ever run their special mango-​jalapeño martini again, make sure you order at least three for me.
