Came here 2 nights in a row while staying at the Double Tree. Good selection and good staff. We got the elote fries, pork tacos and burger. All were really good, really flavorful. Jordan was awesome, super cool, fast, and made good drinks! If we come back in the area, we'll be back! read more

As there is a nice walk along the Animas river, in Durango....there is a beer garden restaurant. Nice outdoor seating and they do allow dogs. A plus for me when I travel. After taking a nice walk, I decide to stop and get a bite to eat. I was able to be seated right away. Picking a nice area in the back to sit, I was greeted quick and was given bottle of water, and a nice stainless cup to drink....because the water is cold the stainless cup kept the water cold for a good while....and a bowl of water for my dog. After a little time to look at the menu I ordered the burger and salad. The time for from order to food was good, I ordered my burger rare, the burger was delicious and 1/4 lb was plenty and shared some with my dog the side salad was good as well. The sauce in the side was a good pairing with the burger. The only issue I have was the service from my waitress. She didn't come back once to ask me how everything was if I needed anything else and I didn't get asked if I wanted more water. I would recommend this place for the food and ambiance but, the service could be much better. read more

This is a nice place to sit and have a drink on the Animas River. Service was timely and friendly. We enjoyed a couple of craft beers and enjoyed the scenery. This place is tucked behind a large hotel and was a bit tricky to find. read more

After a long day of recreating, mountain, biking, hiking, and taking in the sites, we rode our bikes to Animas Brewing Company. Great ride, not too busy, and had a great hazy, great ambiance and service. Come and have a cool down beer after a nice day of outdoor activity at Animas Brewing Company. read more

Great location on the river, service was excellent. Menus displayed on-line are a bit deceiving as it is more of a limited menu. Restaurant is located on the backside of the hotel about halfway down the walkway. read more

TOURIST TRAP WARNING! Great sitting next to the river and river walk, but the food is overpriced and mediocre at best. Portions are small, food might be premade, (had cold, soggy, flavorless, sweet potato fries). The burger's bacon was equally as soggy. Food was being rolled to tables on a gray maintenance/construction like cart. read more

This lounge is situated inside the doubletree by Hilton hotel and the location is ideal as it has the Tesla destination charger in the complex, walking distance from downtown and if it's too cold for you like it was for me today you can just come here and grab a beer and wait till your car gets charged. Beer is reasonably priced. They have a couple of board games here aswell so a pretty decent place overall. read more

We've been to the rest of the breweries in the area, so might as well try this one as well. Cute outside area. They're breaking in some new employees, and there were a few issues...getting our beers, something with my credit card, and also our cheese curds getting forgotten. I had to go in and ask about those, and they were just sitting under the heat lamp. Perhaps that's why they were overly rubbery. Not the best. They did take them off the tab, so that was nice. Pretty laid back place compared to some of the others. Might give it another shot the next time we're in town. read more

Surprising find and experience. Location, location, location. On the river and bike path. Great viewing of the rafter going down stream and people fishing, walking, and biking. A lot of aviary activity too. Good selection of local brews. Service was friendly and good. The pork tacos were delish! Juicy, flavorfull, and yum. Side of onion rings which were well done. Also had, based upon reviews, the fish and chips. Three big strips that were fried perfectly and the portions were easy to eat. The CHIPS (in caps due to the size and quantity), aka waffle fries, were awesome. And they give you a boat load of them. Wanted to finish them but couldn't. Would eat here again. read more

We wanted to eat lunch by the river, so we decided to check out the Animas River Beer Garden at the Doubletree Hotel in Durango. We arrived around 3 p.m. and there was only one other person eating. The patio by the river had great views of the river, you can hear the river while eating, and it was covered so when it sprinkled, we stayed dry. I ordered a burger which was delicious. My partner ordered the tacos and he loved them. I ordered the House margarita and he ordered a beer. We liked both. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us multiple times. Mostly, I enjoyed the riverside seating. There doesn't seem to be too many places in Durango that has seating outdoors by the river, so this is a great place to get that view and experience. read more

Located in a hotel, this lounge overlooks the Animas River. It seems to be connected to the restaurant as well. He ordered a beer and we went and sat on the balcony even though it was slightly chilly. I wanted to look at the river flowing through the town. There were ducks fishing for their dinner and the trees with their leaves changing. Idyllic. The server was friendly and amiable. There were some people having a meal and as we left we saw others sitting down. Will have to check out the food next time. It was a pleasant and relaxing rest. read more

No happy hour. Expensive beers- $9.50 per. Went upstairs to lounge, wish we just left. Not going back.

Best place in durango for lunch on the river. Definitely the place to go if you want a relaxing, outdoor experience on the water.

Excellent delicious breakfast with the family, service was superb, and the location of the seating was very nice as well. I will definitely be coming here again. read more

Ate and drank here on my birthday, July 6, 2019. This is a super picturesque location adjacent to the Animas river which was swollen and flowing with all the melting snow. This beer garden is part of the Hilton DoubleTree and they have beer from Breckenridge Brewery. They had a two person live band playing relaxing '70s cover songs. Our waitress was really attentive and checked on us about five times while we were here. I had the best food in Durango at this location. I ordered the Sunnyside Farms Sausage Platter for $19.75. It included: 2 brats of your choice, sauerkraut, red cabbage, 2 soft pretzels, and German potato salad. This dish really filled me up. The soft pretzels were wonderful, the cabbage colorful, and the brats tasted great, especially the hot Italian stuffed sausage. The beers from Breckenridge Brewery were phenomenal. Our favorite was the Mango Mosaic and it had to be in the top three of all beers for our six Colorado microbreweries tour. We wanted to buy a growler or two of this beer, but they don't sell growlers here. I'm thinking it's because of an ordinance prohibiting glass close to the river. I really enjoyed this place, probably because of the proximity to the river, the live band, the great beer, delicious food, great company, and attentive service. Next time we're in Durango, we'll be here again. **Note- they are only open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday until 10 pm. read more

A decent (bunless) burger and bourbon. The views are great . I don't think the staff heard (or cared) about allergies as I asked for gf options and the sweet potato fries came out looking breaded. I ordered the steak and fries, and while the fries came out looking breaded (quickly scooped off my plate) and it came out with an arugula and tomatoes salad. I'm not a big fan of arugula, nor tomatoes, so I enjoyed the steak and I'm glad we got the nachos. It's a casual and easy place to come by after a day on the mountain, or a day of driving. Edit to add: even though I tried to confirm pre-order, the sweet potato fries are NOT GF. Glad I didn't try any, eek. Great reminder, if you have allergies, you've got to trust your gut (no pun intended). I'm glad I did that today and didn't ruin the rest of my week. read more

What a wonderful surprise at a Hilton hotel. A lovely beer garden on the river with really good food. The service was fantastic. I asked for a side of salsa and guac, and got both with no extra charge. Nice relaxed atmosphere. read more

The best patio seating in Durango, right on the Animus River! Great fish & chips, but could have used one more piece of fish, three was not enough. Also the ceasar salad appeared to made from a bag. Other than that is was an excellence experience. Great service! read more

What a gem! Came here to kill some time and ended up ordering drinks and food. I was warmly welcomed with my two dogs, the two servers at the beer garden were so pleasant and dog welcoming it made my heart smile. The gentleman who got the water put ice in the bowl too because it was so hot! They also give you two free stickers promoting their business which is a huge plus for me, we always have to ask for this amazing advertisement! read more

On a warm summer evening I had a great meal we have a dog and she was welcomed. In fact our waitress brought her some water. We are on the patio and it was wonderful. I had coconut shrimp which is actually an appetizer and paired with a small Ceasar salad is was a delicious meal my husband had the four corner salad which is said was very good our server was very friendly and efficient price was excellent and will definitively go sgain read more

Beautiful scenery but the guacamole on my bene was grey. Coffee was weak. Would not recommend

The seating next to the river and mountain view was worth 4 stars all by itself. Throw in the cold beer, live music and excellent food and it gets 5 stars from me. Enjoyed watching folks float down the river in inner tubes and rafts. The weather was perfect, and Kirsten our server, was top notch! I had the fish and chips but substituted a Cesar salad for the fries. It was awesome! Hubby had the Rueben which looked a little thin, but hubby said was really good. They let us stay and enjoy a few beers abd listen to the music, did not rush us at all. read more

Great food, beers and service. They accommodated our large group of 11 and got our tables ready super fast.

Such a great place to get beer and appetizers. You can sit outside facing the Animas River and have a great view of the surrounding mountains. There isn't a huge beer selection, only about 10 kinds on draft then the typical bottled beers like Coors Light. We got a charcuterie board which was really good! It comes with baked bread which made it even tastier. The chicken wings were also really good. Usually there is a live band but there is not live music on Sunday. read more

Went here on a Friday night, they let us move and sit by a heater once the other guests left their table. Asked our waiter for decaf coffee and he said he could do that and go get some upstairs. That was nice of him! Seemed like they were closing the outside part but never felt rushed, as he still asked if we wanted dessert. Food was good! I got the soup and it was awesome! My husband got fish and chips and it was flakey and good. It was great having a view of the river. read more

Well once your get past the rude teenager in ponytails who has watched endless youtube videos on how to apply eyeliner, you will get a flat "Zuperfizzz" with three ice cubes, burned wings and a burger that has so much filling as to resemble a sponge, you will know you have arrived and are screwed. Get a beer and move on...or not. read more

We stayed at the Doubletree and ordered dine in. So we only had the food from Animas. It was excellent! We ordered the burger and fish and chips. And for desert this amazing chocolate cake.

A really nice place to enjoy good beer, brat, music and scenery. Very relaxing and a great way to end the day. The brat was ok and the platter was ok. However, the Summer Pilsner and the Breckenridge Lager was refreshing. A great spot to finish the day. Serving is a bit slow so I cannot let you know how the Peach a la mode tasted. It's supposed to be the most popular. read more
