"We
made our way back to the gondola, with the magnificent canyon view again keeping my attention focused along the way back to
town. We veered into Last Dollar Saloon, right on Main Street. The feeling here was much more that of a local neighborhood
bar than tourist destination.
Music flowed from the jukebox that still allowed for conversations without straining
one’s throat. As we ordered drinks my eyes widened at the very generous pouring of vodka into my glass. It was official:
this was not the resort town I’d envisioned!" GoColorado.com

"After stuffing yourself to the
brim, mosey on over to Last Dollar Saloon. Affectionately know by the locals as, "The Buck," the Last Dollar
won't break your bank. However, if you're looking to sip fine wine and nibble on martini olives, this may not be the place
for you. Last Dollar serves up cold beer and shots of hard liquor. The term, "dive bar," may be an understatement,
but there's no better place to hang out and relax. Plus, the jukebox boasts one of the best music selections in Telluride
and there's a good chance you'll
pick up some hardcore mining stories to tell your friends back home."

This is strictly a drinking establishment, but it's roomy and authentically Telluride. Drinks are reasonably priced and most
people in there on a Sunday night will be locals. With smoking banned, and new owners, the place has cleaned up considerably. "

"The played-out mining town reinvented
itself as a ski destination in the 1970s and a certain ski-bum, laissez-faire attitude prevails. The Last Dollar Saloon (100
East Colorado), in a former mining-era saloon and sporting hall, offers happy hour daily. A sign in the window proclaims,
“Sorry, we’re open.’’ Boston Globe
"The Last Dollar Saloon (aka, "The
Buck") PBR is King in Telluride, but you can also count on a reliably stiff drink at Telluride's most
classic bar, built in 1899: Don't let your buzz distract you from details like the original stamped tin ceiling. TGIF is one
of the best times to go if you want to mingle with locals or see live music; The Buck is reliably packed weekend nights during
the summer. My happy place is the corner table at the front, where the giant plate glass windows provide an aquarium view
of Main Street." Gadling AOL Travel Blog
