The Shadows Lounge & Grill in the Plaza de Colores is just the sort of place that Taos has needed for a long time. Shadows does it very well. Part sports bar, part fine dining, part easy-going luncheon spot, part modern American western saloon, and part disco, Shadows Lounge & Grill is a special restaurant in Taos. The restaurant is in one of the newest buildings in Taos, yet Shadows Lounge & Grill has the comfortable feel of what Taos is all about. Shadows has a long full bar with a beautiful dark mahogany bar-back (complete with 3 built-in high-def screens, an additional long eating bar with bar stools, a large dining ares with marble-top tables and sturdy, comfortable chairs..., and Shadows also has a really cool road-side patio for dining and drinking. Shadows Lounge & Grill also has a fine stage set-up complete with lighting and a top-quality built in sound system.
