Known For

Moody craft cocktail den with Ouray's most photogenic bar wall

Cahoots Tavern hits a moody atmosphere sweet spot — exposed brick walls, low light, and the kind of cozy nook seating that makes one glass of wine stretch into three. It's the most photographed interior in a town full of good ones.

🕐Best time to visit: October evenings when the aspen crowds have thinned

Upstairs, 929 Main St, Ouray, CO 81427, USA

Our Take

Exposed brick, moody lighting, and an intimate scale make Cahoots the kind of wine bar where a Tuesday night feels like a special occasion. It sits right at the edge of standout local favorite territory — a near-perfect neighborhood gem that just needs a bit more time in the spotlight.
