Who names their business the "Kiss my arse Irish Pub" ??

It's a far cry from the best pub I've ever played or visited - but so far this town's a one trick pony so to speak. There's no competition, and that gives the owners what they feel is free reign. If you ask me, it's as dumb a name as they come, and the atmosphere isn't great...but it's MUCH better top play there than to try and session at the local rodeo bar.
So far as I know the locals here are looking for other possible venues - but it's tough in a small town. We can't ALL live the big city life (and frequent the big city pubs) you Denver folks enjoy now!

Sadly, the pub and it's larger upstairs bar/restaraunt have gone out of business now. Seems the owner was looking for a new partner, and the deal fell through. So no sessions in Durango at present...just the odd house gathering with two or three beginners. Hopefully something will rise from the ashes!

Re: USA, Colorado, Durango
Sorry to be so late in reply here -
I actually moved back to SLC from Durango in June, and the Embassy wasn't up and running then. From what I hear now though, they are indeed open (despite the sudden and unexpected death of one of the principal partners like a week after they opened.)
I hear that sessions are on Sunday nights - though I don't know what time. Their phone is: 970-403-1200
I may make it back one of these days, but for now Salt Lake is taking good care of her prodigal son - with much great session music to be had here!
