New Sheridan Chop House
How to book: DAYS to WEEKS on peak ski weekends, holidays, and festival nights; the historic Sheridan Bar takes some walk-in overflow. A convenient dinner if you're staying at the New Sheridan (it's downstairs). Confirm current days/hours/menu/prices live.
Best meal: Dinner — steaks/chops, wild game, and Colorado plates in the historic New Sheridan on Colorado Ave, the town's classic dress-up dinner; a nightcap next door at the historic Sheridan Bar. Confirm current menu and hours live.
Who it’s NOT for: Vegetarians/vegans as the priority diner — it's a steakhouse/chop house at heart (there are non-meat options, but that's not the draw). Budget grab-and-go diners — it's a sit-down fine-dining room; town has cheaper casual options (Brown Dog, Baked in Telluride). Anyone wanting a mountaintop or lakefront view — it's a historic Main-Street dining room, not a view restaurant. Walk-in diners on a peak ski-weekend or festival night — reserve ahead; it fills.
