This place is a gem. Unique energy, great food with Asian inspiration, and fantastic cocktails. The bar tenders gave great service and are a large piece of the fun vibe that makes There so uniquely great.
I recommend making a reservation – the first time we went they were able to squeeze us in after a short wait, but it is small and intimate so we could have waited a lot longer.

Very surprised how good this spot was . We enjoyed everything we had here. Their food was great and the cocktails were tasty ! The menu might be very small
but all the items on the menu were delicious. We even end up ordering some food twice .
The servers/bartenders were very friendly . The vibe was great and definitely recommend this local spot .
We would definitely come back . Don’t miss this spot when you’re in the area.

Very delicious food. Small plates style. They use tamari and the cucumbers and pear salad were awesome. Several flavor layers and reasonable portion sizes. We also got the duck bao bun on a lettuce wrap and the wagyu skewers. Pricey but not egregious for Telluride. The duck was awesome- can only imagine how good it would be on a bun.
Their liquor options were all top shelf. Not complicated cocktails but high end ingredients.

The atmosphere is lively and exciting — a great place if you’re looking for energy and fun.
That said, the food portions are small for the price. It feels like you’re getting skimped at every turn, which makes the value hard to justify.
Drinks are also on the expensive side, but they’re crafted really well and worth trying.
The service stands out — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
Overall, a fun spot for drinks and vibe, but not the best choice if you’re coming for a satisfying meal.

Been here multiple times, food is always delicious, staff is always super nice and funny, just a good vibe all around. Super cool merch too! Definitely highly recommend the chilled cucumber salad, mushroom bao, and French fries.

I know when it comes to Telluride, it’s really hard to go wrong. The food & service industry there has it down. And having lived & worked there for the better part of two years, I know.
But There REALLY has things dialed in.
Of all the times I’ve been there for drinks, dinner or apres ski, I have literally never had a bad experience.
The drinks are amazing, pretty much everything on the menu.
The food is more of a tapas type, smaller portion. But oh, so, delicious.
The staff really know how to run the place given how busy they get. Again, never a bad experience.
Make There a must stop if you’re in town.

Happy we got in There!!! Walked in around 5:45pm on a Wednesday and was able to sit at the bar. The couple we walked in behind had said they never had any luck getting seated without reservations so we definitely got lucky. We loved the upbeat vibe and the music. The bartender was amazing and all staff were hustling to keep up .. it is a small restaurant and very busy. We loved the brussels sprouts, crispy cauliflower, and ahi tuna tostadas. All were perfection!! Will definitely return.

Service was 4/5 – polite, friendly, helpful, but slow to check on us and they seemed understaffed. Food was 2/5 – the eggplant was extremely salty (tasted like straight miso paste) while the radish and cabbage were completely unseasoned. Brussels sprouts were all chips and no actual Brussels – was like eating air or getting a second order of popcorn. Crab baos were tasty. Elk wontons were dry inside and overcooked. Salmon crudo was flavorless and again with watery flavorless radishes making for a really weird texture differential. Popcorn was the best thing we had which does not match the price. Prices were gauging for so many of the dishes being mid. For a small menu that’s been on since spring it felt like BOH was not in it tonight. Value 1/5. Left hungry due to not wanting to be burned on anything else.

the most intelligent cocktail makers within a few hundred miles. unique. vibey. San Francisco hayes valley cocktail bar vibes in a mountain town. charming. one-of-a-kind drinks; whether it’s the jam drink cocktails, the spritz, the rotating craft slushies, every server knowing how to create every drink, the happy hour (4-5p daily). it’s superior and raises the standard for cocktail drinking. I cannot speak to food but from what I’ve read and seen, it looks absolutely worth it. quick dets: dog friendly outside (3 tables), and warm lighting with 5 tables inside not including the bar seating. ask your bartender/server their story and you’ll have an enlightening few hours. cheers mate
