There are normally several food trucks that surround the Barrel which gives you a lot of food choices. Inside reminds me of the old town bars with wooden tables and a floor that is covered with saw dust. You can bring your food inside and then imbibe on great selection of adult beverages they have to enjoy your food with. Dog water bowls are provided throughout the establishment if your pups thirsty add well. Fun place to stop and fill your tank!

Our kids (14 & 12) are experienced pool players; we typically play together as a family or let them play a game on their own while we enjoy a few rounds. We've been in 4 times this week alone and were welcomed every time. Today, we were abruptly told they couldn't play due to a 16+ rule by a young bartender who has always allowed us to play. He mentioned that the owner doesn't like kids playing and there is a sign. While there is a sign posted behind the wall and not clearly marked, it has been completely ignored by staff and other families for the years we've been coming here, and certainly wasn't mentioned during our other visits this week. Even today, it seemed to be selectively enforced. If a family is respectful, knows how to use the equipment properly, and has been welcomed all week, there should be some common sense and hospitality applied--especially for repeat customers. To allow it for days and then suddenly change the rules on our 5th visit is just poor hospitality and frankly feels slightly discriminatory.

The waiter was extremely accommodating for some intense behavior (my teen REALLY didn't like the jokes in the kid menu). She rushed in the kids food in short time, before the adult dishesveere ready, a gesture we rarely experience. Back in our abode, more than 2.5 hour drive from the restaurant, we realized I left a wallet behind. It had in addition to credit cards and such, it holds a green card and other hard to recover IDs. Driving more than 5 hours to retrieve the wallet on the last day of our vacation sounded like a huge mess. Luckily, The general manger PJ, is a very kind man! He sent the wallet to NYC by mail, and didn't even let us payback USPS fees! Blessings!

Wapiti is a great spot in Estes for a hearty meal!…read more The bun on the ranchhand burger was a bit thick, but a really good burger - juicy and cooked really well! My husband loved and would recommend it. We both grabbed some Parmesan fries and DEVOURED them! Incredible, 10/10. I had the pulled pork and was admittedly a bit disappointed in it being somewhat dry. Though the coleslaw on top was nice, as was the overall flavor! I wouldn't rule it out, I just may not have gotten it on the best night. I should also note that some say it's downtown estes. And it is technically walkable, I THINK, because you can walk along the river, but it's a bit far from what I would personally call "downtown" if you were to walk. I'd recommend driving unless you want a longer walk. They have plenty of parking, though we are here in the off season. The staff was kind, but we had little interaction. Overall, I'd try it again.

Their charcuterie options were also abundant but we opted for the Colorado wild game sausage board. So worth it to try some exotic meats including elk, wild boar & blueberry, and the most interesting in my opinion...the pheasant and rattlesnake sausage. All were flavorful and went well w the beer cheese and jam but I personally loved the elk sausage the most.

The staff is outstanding--everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. You can tell they really care about what they're building here. The wine selection is excellent, and their flights are a steal at just $14. They also offer meads, mulled cider, and an entirely new food menu that pairs perfectly with the drinks. There's clearly a lot of thought going into the experience now. We also heard a new deck area is coming soon, plus plans for a paella night--which honestly sounds amazing and gives us even more reason to come back. If you haven't been to Snowy Peaks recently, it's absolutely worth another visit. They're doing great things and it's becoming a must-stop spot in Estes Park.

It came with a decent portion of meat on a very tasty bun. You also get one choice of sides: coleslaw, fries, homemade kettle chips, smoked beans, side salad ($2 extra), Mac and cheese. I opted for the smoked beans. Flavor was good. However, beans were way undercooked and had much too much sweetness to them. I would definitely not order them again. My partner ordered the same sandwich with the Carolina BBQ sauce and had the coleslaw for the side. It was a typical coleslaw and nothing different from the usual or expected. My favorite Aunt ordered the smoked chicken club and she was very pleased. The chicken had a very nice taste of smoke without being overpowering which is easy to do with chicken. The kettle ships that she ordered were homemade and delicious. (sidenote: when asked, the server had no idea if the kettle chips were made in-house from from a bag) Overall, it wasn't a bad place to eat. If I was in town again, personally, I would probably try another place but not because this establishment was bad in any way, just to get experience elsewhere. I would not recommend the smoked beans side dish and the staff need more training on the menu so that she doesnt look silly in front of customers when answering questions.
