This commercial space transformed from a dark smokey tavern to a light-filled space for live music and dancing.

Crestone, Colorado is a small mountain town with an eclectic mix of residents, home to an incredible variety of religious retreats from around the world. With the advent of the Laughing Buddha, the community gained a cheerful, warm and inviting venue for meals, events and social gatherings.
