The Lofts
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
The lofts at Public House let guests experience mountain town living like a local. Set on Elk Ave., Crested Butte’s main drag, Public House served as the town’s main watering hole through much of the 19th and 20th centuries. A meticulous restoration has reimagined the space as a pub and music venue with three spacious upstairs lofts. The rooms celebrate music’s most trailblazing rebels with inspiration from three renowned venues, San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium and Winterland, and Manhattan’s famed Beacon Theater. Perks include access to Eleven®’s talented guides who can lead you to serious single track and secret fishing holes. The lofts are the perfect option for independent-minded travelers coming to town for events like the Crested Butte Film Festival or hiking over from Aspen during the spectacular summer wildflower season.
