Welcome to
The Bookcase and Barber
Step Inside the Story
Once an old bookstore, now a living tale of craftsmanship and cocktails. The Bookcase and Barber is Durango’s only speakeasy—an upscale barbershop by day, and a hidden cocktail bar by night (if you know the password). We’ve been part of the soul of downtown since 2015, and every visit adds a new chapter to our story.

WHY US
Why Choose The Bookcase and Barber
We’re more than just a barbershop or a bar—we’re a curated experience. Whether you’re settling in for a precision haircut or sipping on one of our signature bookcase cocktails, come for the cut, and stay for the secret. Tucked behind a wall of vintage books lies Durango’s only speakeasy—recognized as a must-see alongside the historic train and Mesa Verde.
Storytelling is the heart of what we do. Built upon the bones of a beloved 1981 bookstore, our space invites you to be part of a narrative that honors the past while celebrating the present. Every cocktail tells its own tale, every haircut is tailored with care, and every guest brings a new story through our doors. In 2025, we proudly celebrate ten years of community, creativity, and clandestine charm.
