Wood Ear Whiskey Lounge & Noodle Bar in Telluride, Colorado, brings together Texas smokehouse classics and global cuisine in a whiskey-centric cocktail setting housed in the historic Roma Building. The name "Wood Ear" pays homage to an essential Asian mushroom, symbolizing the fusion of faraway flavors with Texan dishes to cater to a diverse range of tastes and occasions.

General manager Matthew Arnold and chef Kevin Bush's vision of a ramen shop with a Texan twist comes to life in the basement of Telluride's historic Roma building. The centerpiece is a beautifully hand-carved bar made from walnut and extinct white tiger pine, dating back to the late 1800s. Offering a wide selection of beers, classic cocktails, and over 150 spirits, including many Japanese whiskeys, patrons can enjoy drinks on the patio or cozy up indoors while enjoying live music.

Good restaurant, we had ramen noodles with pulled pork and a smoked brisket dish. The service was below average, the waiter was distracted by the baseball playoff game.
