This was such a great find. I wish they would have had an opening in the barbershop, but we got drinks instead. The drinks were great, high end, author-themed, and ranged from $12-15 each.You will need a secret password to enter the speakeasy, so good luck!

A hidden gem in every sense of the phrase. Every detail is so well thought out in this speakeasy experience. Well patronized but still a very personalized local-venture from their established Author drinks to their seasonal Stories fare. Ask about the history of the bar and you will have a great story to accompany your libations.One thing I will say to future visitors - be patient. The amazing servers are doing their best and the drinks are well worth the wait.

One of the best finds in Durango! A special, cozy and clever speakeasy with magic for the senses. The drinks are fantastic and created with love, the staff are incredible and knowledgeable, the decor is unique and elegant. Dont miss it!!

Very cool please! The guys up front were super inviting and professional. The bartender and waitress were both just as awesome. The drinks were DELICIOUS!

L-O-V-E I-T! It is a great hang out spot if you are in the mood of super good cocktails with an amazing ambiance. The concept is phenomenal. I wish them a successful business here. This kind of places make Durango special. Pay then a visit, do yourself a favor. :)

We sat at the bar and the drinks were phenomenal...super cool place!

Went here for the bar. Sooooo cool, the barber shop looks legit and they actually cut hair so it is legit. The bar is dark and fun. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks. I got the secret garden drink. All our drinks were strong and tasty. 10/10 recommend.

Expertly crafted and creative cocktails in a relaxed, well designed atmosphere. Perfect for dates or smaller gatherings in which conversation is sought.

If an unknowing patron were to walk into the Bookcase and Barber off the street they would find a simple barbershop that gives wonders haircuts and has an impressive collection of books for a place that cuts hair. However, someone who is more in the know has simply to speak a secret pass phrase to initiate what is the beginning of an overall wonderful drinking experience.After speaking the correct password (which changes every few months) to the doorman, the bookcase opens to a 1920s-style speakeasy. The bartenders are dressed in suspenders and dress shirts, the walls are lined with clippings of prohibition-era newspapers and other memorabilia, and the bar is stocked with an impressive collection of all type of liquor.While you can order practically any cocktail you could think of, the B&B provides menus put together by their incredibly talented staff and which change seasonally. Whether you order something classic or a B&B original cocktail nothing you have here will fail to impress. Even a drink as simple as a Screwdriver is made with fresh oranges juiced by hand in front of your eyes.Simply put the Bookcase and Barber surely is a gem in what downtown Durango has to offer - one you will need to try for yourself to truly understand and enjoy the complete experience.

Great intimate environment. Perfect for late night drink on your stumble home.

Hidden gem. Really enjoyed our time. Fantastic drinks, service, and atmosphere.

Best bar in Durango, hands down! My friends and I are there at least once a week. I wont go to any other place in town for drinks. If you havent been here yet, youre missing out!

Drinks are Amazing, and was a very nice cozy & quaint atmosphere!

This place was very fun!! They have an extremely impressive drink list with homemade recipes and some awesome ways to serve the drinks. They also have several infused spirits and the owners are top notch.There is a barber shop in front and they have a true barber doing cuts. When asked where the bar was he said sorry man, this is a barber shopBeware, you have to have a password to get in to the bar. (Usually the first sentence on their website)Totally fun and will definitely be back.

Had a amazing pre wedding party. Got a excellent shave and hair cut. Perdo was a excellent host and stylist.

Awesome place. Highly recommend this cool space, place. Super cool. Very secretive and romantic and fun.

Fun and unique. Wander through the bookcase and you enter a bar space reminiscent of a speakeasy. Enjoyable with great service and delicious drinks. Easily worth the $$ of the drinks.

Absolutely the best-kept secret in Durango! Its on my must-visit list from now on!!

The service is always top notch. The classic drinks are perfectly made and the seasonal ones are always fun!

Excellent establishment, excellent cocktails! Great atmosphere

Fun little speakeasy in Durango. Drinks are made with pride. This is a popular place and seating is limited, so be prepared to wait.

Outstanding place. Very unique. You must visit it

Friendly staff, great beverages!

Loved this place. Second time there and loved it again.

Cool spot. Have to check their Facebook page for password to get in. Craft cocktail spot. Great drinks! Manhattan mondays are when I stopped in. Nice deal. Tried a couple of menu drinks as well. If you are in a hurry craft cocktails take time.

Nice, mellow place with good drinks. Knowledgeable bartenders.

Best Hemingway Part I I have ever had! A must if you visit Durango!

Best cocktails in town, hands down. Such an amazing experience. Call ahead and be sure to look online to get the entry code.

Love this place but know the password before you enter!

Charming, cozy, unique! We will be back!

Great place to hang out with friends and have an adult beverage.

Maybe the coolest place on a town full of cool places

Amazing experience! My husband and i stopped into this amazing speakeasy tonight and were amazed by the decor, incredible drinks, and great atmosphere. Daniel was our bar tender tonight and we couldn’t take our eyes off of his skills and genuine love for his job and making amazing tasting and looking drinks! Definitely a must see in Durango!

Great service by Pedro. Cool bar through the secret door. Will be back for drinks.

The drinks, the atmosphere, and the staff are wonderful. This is a fabulous place to have a quiet drink before heading out for dinner.

Awesome date night spot

Great place for a haircut. Pat is friendly and professional. I cant wait for the bar to reopen to in person service.

The atmosphere was amazing. The bookcase staff is so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by, you might just become a regular!

Fantastic cocktail spot hidden to the standard tourist just walking on main avenue. Drinks were creative and tasty. Great selection of different vase liquors and flavors. The bartender was one of the best parts of our visit both from a personality and friendliness perspective and from a knowledge of alcohols, ingredients, and cocktail history perspective. We will be sure to visit when back in Durango!

What you may not see, could still be true.

Fantastic cocktales.In all seriousness, the atmosphere and the phenomenally hand crafted cocktails make this speakeasy the perfect place to chill out. With outstanding service, there is no better place in Durango to get your lit(erary) on. 11/10 recommend. 👌

Always top shelf products and super cool staff! Highly recommend stopping by and checking this business! Find its unique art furnishings like piano tables are great to enjoy. Also local artist will make to order similar yet unique designs by request.

Drinks are always delicious and the atmosphere is very chill. Definitely recommend.

Favorite spots to hit while in Durango, CO. If youre into craft cocktails, theyre history, and speak easy space, youll love it. Not an establishment for binge drinking, sports bar clientle, and clubbers. Take your time, enjoy the atmosphere, and chat with the friendly staff.

I love the idea of the speak easy!!! The atmosphere is FANTASTIC and the voodoo drink knocks it out of the park!!

Place is awesome and truly a hidden gem. We met the owner Beau and bartender Daniel they are amazing!

Amazing atmosphere, some of the best cocktails Ive ever had, great service. Highly recommend if youre in the durango area!

Fun place to grab a delicious cocktail, but definitely not a neighborhood bar with Busch Light on tap. If youre looking for that go somewhere else, but I implore you to give it a try if you like mixed drinks. Theres something for everybody and the bartenders are very conversational if youre at the bar!

Somehow the drinks were better than the atmosphere but that seems impossible.

Love this spot. Great quality and attention to detail, plus the conversation was top notch. Cant wait to go back.

A favorite spot for a quiet drink. The best cocktails in Durango!

This place is amazing..... Drinks were on point ! Better know the password haha

Great place to get away and have a great drink!

Batched cocktails for take-out are excellent.

Awesome barbers and a really cool vibe. A must do for all who visit Durango.

Love this place. Check their Facebook page for the password to get in.

Its a unique experience, the best Burbon hair experience i ever had.

Really loved how this is a true running barber shop, while hosting an entryway to a trendy speakeasy style bar! Upbeat, classy atmosphere. Make sure that you know a secret password if you come across this spot at night. Space is limited, as the bar is pretty small in overall size- not tiny, just limited room. Highly recommend.

Best place for a cut in Durango. Dont forget to find the secret password too 🤫

When I moved to town I attempted to get an appointment, they were booked over 2 weeks out with a limited schedule. I have to admit, that’s a huge turn off for a barbershop— a service based business.I found a barber elsewhere, after a few bad experiences with local “barbers.”This week I had the pleasure of scheduling a last minute appointment with Candess and I have to say, I’m glad that connection was made.My hair is not easy to cut, for most barbers, it takes time. She gave me the best haircut with the tightest lines I’ve gotten since moving to the area.I recommend her to anyone looking for a quality cut and line up!

Great place to get a fade.

If you have a beard, this is where to go. Pat is my barber, hes awesome! Does a great job and hes just a great guy to spend 30 minutes with. All of the other barbers are nice as hell and people walk out looking good!

This place rooks great haircuts and when youre done you can enter the hidden bar relax and have a extremely cold beer or mixed drink

This place is the bomb. Its nostalgic with a little modern twist. Strong drinks, beautiful atmosphere and a password is needed to get in. What an awesome concept, one I wish was in my home town. I highly recommend this place

On vacation from Wisconsin and booked online. Was skeptical because I’ve never been there but Pat cut my hair put my mind as ease. That dude is easily a top 3 barber on my list and is easy going. 5 out of 5!!

I just got a skin fade and a line up by Candess. She was professional, clean, and knew exactly what I wanted. Im forsure coming back!

Great haircuts and unique drinks. Sure its a bit boujee but its Durango and its a really awesome place. Great vibe and great people making great drinks. Its great. Great.

Great spot to bring outta town guests

Enrique was the best ever. Please come here!!

The BEST cocktails ever. Their employees are always kind and super knowledgeable. They seriously have a cocktail for everyone. Super cozy environment. I love that you have to know a password to get in. Truly a speak easy

Atmosphere is dope and the barbers are too. Very skilled at what they do and a very laidback feel. Highly recommend!

We had our Christmas Party at the Bookcase & Barber last year and it was very enjoyable. Even though we had a small party, they accommodated us and made it a special night out for our company. Thanks Jenna for hooking us up with a good time!

This place cannot keep their appointments anywhere near the time that you schedule so be sure to show up a good 30 minutes late or so (could be much longer or not at all). Better yet, blow them off entirely before they do the same to you.

Great haircut. Classic barbershop with a great atmosphere. Cool little hidden - speak easy bar. Nice selection of drinks. Best to make a reservation online for a haircut. These barbers are often booked in advance.

Love it here. Great drinks, super cool atmosphere, the staff are amazing. Wont get my haircut anywhere else. It feels like a place you would go to just hang out, and then happen to get a haircut while youre there. Their barbers are all great and the website is super easy to navigate and book an appointment. I always bring visitors here.

Great place for a trim!

Delighted to find this nook!! Attentive bar tenders, tasty cocktails. Great find... If you can. ;)

Dim lighting. Very chill atmosphere. If your cold from the Colorado weather stop in for a warming drink.

Awesome atmosphere, good happy hour...great cocktails

This place is awesome! Heard about it from our Uber driver and if was definitely the highlight of our Durango trip

An amazing little speakeasy that has a great atmosphere, an even better drinks list, and a great barber (from what I hear). Dont forget to find the password before you visit or else you wont get to see the best parts!

Password to get in is on their website. Awesome strong unique $12 drinks. Totally recommend.

It seemed like it would be a cool place for a drink, that was until the bouncer at the front asked us to spot him some cash so he can get us a seat. Apparently us waiting 40 minutes didnt cut it. He asked for cash a total of three times. We eventually just left. Bummer because we really wanted to try this place out.

Adorable speakeasy. Really fun atmosphere and delicious drinks. Password is on the front page of their site.

Such an unexpectedly fun place to have a real specialty cocktail. The bartender gives you the lowdown on the place if you have not visited and suggests drinks. I had the Burt Reynolds cocktail in honor of his passing, it was delicious!

I cant say enough good things about the good vibes we get when we are here. I think Bo, his wife, and Enrique, the folks I have met here are some of the most hospitable folks I have met. They also make a mean drink. Cheers!

Best cocktails in town, hands down. Easily one of the best speakeasys that I’ve been to, and I’ve seen a few. The seasonal cocktails are always super-creative and a pleasure to drink, the setting is exceptional and holds true to Durango’s history. The barbershop is small but the service and quality of the cut is outstanding - hard to beat drinking a beer while getting a haircut that will last you at least a month. A guaranteed stop anytime I’m in town, for both a cut and a cocktail

Super unique, well layed out, cozy, and the drinks are phenomenal.

Great service and great cut. Thank you!

One of the best experiences of my travels thus far! A speakeasy bar with secret password, hidden bookcase entrance, the BEST cocktails, served by cocktail Chefs as they like to be called who served an education with your drink making this very unique delightful drinking experience even more satisfying.The menu is based on authors and being a writer myself, I felt I was served much more than spirits, I felt connected and engaged.If you want to feel special and part of thein crowd, this is the place!#meetmeattgebookcase #thebookcaseandbarber

Pedro, the barber is great. I will not get my hair cut by anyone else. Hes respectful and personable. Very awesome shop! The free beer is an added bonus!

The atmosphere and the drinks will keep you coming back for more. Craft cocktails at their finest but you have to know the password to get by the secret bookcase. Its worth the wait if theres a waiting list!

This place is so cool. It’s an actual functioning barbershop, and you enter through the bookcase to get to the speakeasy hidden behind. Super creative drinks. It’s expensive, but it’s fun for a drink or two. Dark, shadowy, behind a bookcase, and writer themed drinks. It’s way fun.

Where a gentleman gets a haircut. Classic, yet trying a little too hard barber shop. Great beard and dome cuts, plus fun atmosphere. Make sure you get your free drink, they often forget. Early morning seems to have best availability on-line.

Place is a fantastic. Great haircut by po Pat and amazing drinks. Get the Metanoa its not on the menu.

Best cocktail I have ever had. Thanks Daniel and Alvin for a fun night.

Creative drinks with a knowledgeable staff!

Awesome little place with very friendly staff! The cocktails are superb! And the atmosphere very 20s! Love it! We stayed in Durango for five days and went here for a nightcap every night!

Loved it. A great motif for the old book store. A must stop for drinks.

Awesome lol hideaway. Dont forget the password
