Guidebook for Crested Butte
Drinks & Nightlife
This is a rum distillery on Elk Street and it is excellent! My personal favoriate is the Maharaja - think Ginger Chai morphed into a rum drink. It is delicious. The Pho here is fantastic! We haven't found anything we don't like. Many nights there is live music and it can be a little loud to try to have a conversation. But if you are looking to enjoy a unique drink and some music, it's perfect.
