Such a unique and amazing idea! We had such an amazing time and were able to meet the owner herself. She talked to us a little bit about the design and history behind her business. And we loved that she incorporated the old bookstore into the current book bar, and speakeasy. Highly recommend going here!

This is the coolest place we have been to in a while. A great Speakeasy behind a functioning barbershop!
You enter into the barbershop, and if you know the ”password” they will open the secret bookcase to let you into the bar (hint…go to their Instagram page and you will find it). Great atmosphere, dark, wonderfully furnished, and truly feels like you can just hang out and relax. The staff is very friendly, and constantly checks on you, and there are lots of places to sit with 2 actual bar areas.
The cocktail menu is fun with lots of options, we wound up having a “Hemingway Part 1” Daiquiri and another fun cocktail, the “Dr. Frederick Fronkensteen” The daiquiris were excellent, a perfect blend of rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Isn’t a true Hemingway daiquiri that includes maraschino liquor, grapefruit juice, and no simple syrup, but I think the name is just a play on books and names. It was outstanding…would highly recommend.
They do have a very small snack selection, either nuts or mini corn dogs lol! We ordered the corn dogs, they were actually good, a few small bite sized pieces.
We found this on our first night in Durango, and would up making it our end-of-day favorite hangout. Perfect ending for the day!
Will I go back…most definitely!
Would I recommend…absolutely!

Loved the experience! You need to go! It took a while to get the drink but the candle lighting and music set a nice tone.

Loved our night at The Bookcase and Barber. You enter through a secret bookcase, so already it feeds the speakeasy desire for mystery and fun.
Drinks are well priced, handmade, and themed. I had the Bette Davis Eyes and The Hemingway 2, both featuring absinthe. The soage is cozy, dark, and atmospheric in the best way. Everyone who works there is knowledgeable and friendly.
I highly recommend this bar any time you're in Durango. I will be back!

Such a cool speakeasy with excellent bartenders (Marissa and Austin) and equally awesome libations. The Old Fashioned was perfect.

Eva is an extremely talented barber. She gave me the best haircut and beard trim I have ever had. Highly recommended, worth every penny if you want to look like a million dollars.

My brother took me here when I visited. He gets his hair cut here then hangs out in the swanky prohibition era bar. Really cool concept. Drinks are pricey!

Top notch atmosphere and vibe in the Bookcase. Service was prompt and pricing is reasonable for the experience. Cocktails were a bit overly sweet and could use more balance.
