1880 Tapas & Spirits - Gunnison, Colorado

I’ve been here twice in the past week since I’ve found out about this place! As with any restaurant in this valley - patience is key. They are new and are doing their best but any sort of wait is absolutely worth it (so smile, be kind and thank your servers)!! The tapas, salads and larger bites are fabulous and the cocktails are delicious!!! Huge fan of the seafood options with plenty of fresh, delicious flavor in every bite. Try the cheesecake as well, you won’t be disappointed. Staff is friendly and kind, the atmosphere is polished and laid back. Make sure to come here ready to enjoy a fabulous meal!

Far and away the best restaurant in Gunnison. Absolutely everything on the menu is phenomenal, the drinks are all great, and the service is always stellar. Tapas may be intimidating at first, but trust this random person on the Internet when they say you will not be disappointed.

What a wonderful new addition to the dining options in Gunnison! Fantastic specialty drinks with a great wine and tequila selection. My recommendation is to share the tapas style plates with your group. Save room for dessert because their banana pudding is nothing short of addictive. This may be my new date night favorite!

July '23 - we've been looking forward to another visit since last year and 1880 is even better than we remembered. The 4 of us ordered most of the menu - shishitos, chicken sliders, flatbread, jumbo shrimp, red sangria, bacon wrapped dates, salad, fried bread pudding and more. Wow!! Great staff, great atmosphere and we ready to go again! July '22 visit - We were so engrossed in our meal that only dessert made it into a photo! Started with the radicchio salad which set the stage for a meal of unique offerings including bacon wrapped dates with paprika honey sauce (OMG! ordered twice!), drunken pork, empanada, and a variation on the pasta plate the chef kindly altered for m'lady's dietary needs. Loved the atmosphere and the staff was super! Looking forward to our next visit!

I had the BEST dinner at 1880!! If you want to get adventurous try their octopus dishes, mouthwatering. The drunken pork and grilled corn🤌🏼 Kate and Pat have raised the bar when it comes to dining and libations in the Gunnison valley. I’m a regular now!

We recently enjoyed a pleasant meal on the shaded back patio. My wife enjoys more vegetarian style foods so we ordered the grilled peaches with feta cheese, hummus with mushrooms and grilled flatbread. yummy. And I enjoyed the toro smashburger.

It was a nice wine selection, and the server brought us a taster so we could choose the perfect wine for our meal.

Highly recommended!

Friendly and attentive staff. Ordered multiple dishes and drinks. Fabulous cocktail menu. Unique and delicious beer/cider offerings. Jammin’ music selection. Expansive wine menu - pairs well with menu options. 1880 is a welcomed addition to the Gunnison food scene and I’m looking forward to my next visit. Keep the vibe going!
