Great Bars in Crested Butte
Crested Butte is full of great bars to hang out in.Check out our great bars page.
In town, don't miss the Eldo("a sunny place for shady people") where alot of locals go too. They have bands in the evening, and a wonderful deck that looks out on Elk Avenue.
Also in town is the Dogwood Cocktail cabin, a no-kids great ambience bar with signature cocktails. And then there is thePrincess Wine Bar, where almost every night a different local guitartist sings mellow song.
Up on the mountain, up on the slopes, don't miss the Ice Bar! Ice carvings and outdoor serving with incredible views makes this bar a must before ski down for the day!

The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet - August 10, 2013
The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet
gonzalobergara.com/
The all-acoustic Gonzalo Bergara Quartet plays a modern
variant of 1930’s Django Reinhardt-inspired gypsy jazz. Composer and
lead guitarist Gonzalo Bergara mixes a cascade of arpeggios with the
sounds of Paris and his native Argentina. His first CD, Porteña Soledad,
was Editor’s Pick in Guitar Player Magazine, and Vintage Guitar
Magazine called it a "masterpiece." The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet consists
of Gonzalo Bergara on lead guitar, Jeffrey Radaich on rhythm guitar,
Leah Zeger on violin, and Brian Netzley on upright bass. The music is
heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France, as
well as the traditional jazz and music of Bergara's true home, Buenos
Aires. "Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music
does. He has lavished such care on every phrase, built each arrangement
with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous, the
music becomes sculpture. It has weight, density, gravity. This is
serious….and deeply moving.”

International String Trio at the Gypsy Jazz Fest in Crested Butte- August 9, 2013
The International String Trio
International String Trio is a group of exceptionally
talented musicians, who hail from three different corners of the world,
but share a rigorous training experience at Berklee College of Music.
Founded by Russian-born guitarist and arranger Slava Tolstoy, with
Japanese upright bassist Ippei Ichimaru and English violinist Ben
Powell, the trio has quickly won over audiences with its tight,
energetic interpretations of everything from favorite folk melodies to
Django Reinhardt numbers, to classical string pieces by revered
composers. The trio spans jazz, world and classical sounds with an
easy-going finesse that gives even simple pop melodies great depth and
lyricism.
