The Bookcase and Barber

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.nnAfter speaking the correct password (which changes every few months) to the doorman, the bookcase opens to a 1920's-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.nnWhile 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.nnSimply 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.
