The Bookcase And Barber - Durango

This is the coolest place we have been to in a while. A great Speakeasy behind a functioning barbershop! You enter into the barbershop, and if you know the ”password” they will open the secret bookcase to let you into the bar (hintgo to their Instagram page and you will find it). Great atmosphere, dark, wonderfully furnished, and truly feels like you can just hang out and relax. The staff is very friendly, and constantly checks on you, and there are lots of places to sit with 2 actual bar areas. The cocktail menu is fun with lots of options, we wound up having a “Hemingway Part 1” Daiquiri and another fun cocktail, the “Dr. Frederick Fronkensteen” The daiquiris were excellent, a perfect blend of rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Isn’t a true Hemingway daiquiri that includes maraschino liquor, grapefruit juice, and no simple syrup, but I think the name is just a play on books and names. It was outstandingwould highly recommend. They do have a very small snack selection, either nuts or mini corn dogs lol! We ordered the corn dogs, they were actually good, a few small bite sized pieces. We found this on our first night in Durango, and would up making it our end-of-day favorite hangout. Perfect ending for the day! Will I go backmost definitely! Would I recommendabsolutely!

Such a fun location and idea! Drinks were a little sweeter than I prefer but fun combinations. Service was outstanding and you can't beat the environment.

Nice cut. Great barber. Old school shop with a twist of coolness.

Loved our night at The Bookcase and Barber. You enter through a secret bookcase, so already it feeds the speakeasy desire for mystery and fun. Drinks are well priced, handmade, and themed. I had the Bette Davis Eyes and The Hemingway 2, both featuring absinthe. The soage is cozy, dark, and atmospheric in the best way. Everyone who works there is knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this bar any time you're in Durango. I will be back!

Great speakeasy type bar with tasty drinks and a wide selection to choose from. It's a must for us anytime we pass through Durango.
