Busy. Poor bartender was doing it all on a Sunday afternoon. Still greeted. Ran the bar and ran food out to people . I was ready to ask for an application. read more

This is a hidden gem in downtown Evergreen. While space in this cool little spot is pretty limited, it has a TON of charm. There is a good sized bar and the staff is always friendly and quick to be of service. They have a smaller but tasty menu of a surprisingly varied options. There is a Cajun overtone in general, so while if you want a burger or wings, sure. But crayfish bucket? You got it! Po Boy? You betcha! All in all, a great place for a beer and a bite, particularly on a busy evening when the other, bigger spots are packed. read more

This is my perfect bar. Leave your pretense at the door. Great vibe, great staff, stellar owner, and Cajun eats. Can't get much better.

Great place! Friendly bartenders and good beer and food! Definitely recommend this place!

Service with a super friendly bar tender was great. We had the chicken tenders and fish tacos. Both were great. Lively fun crowd.

Good food great atmosphere and Krystal the bar tender was fabulous. They were slammed and she made sure we were well taken care of

I had a extremely HOT seasoned meal here and the bar tender did not offer an alternative, so I suffered, BUT WILL NOT RETURN! Poor service lost them future business. read more

Wrote a review on Google for this establishment giving them 2 stars, specifically, for the slow service and the owner replied in a less than favorable way liking that I stated we won't be back. Hard pass on this place. Clearly they can't take constructive criticism or staff accordingly. read more

This spot is my favorite post hike destination, maybe ever. Bartenders are always friendly and the prices are hard to beat. I haven't tried the food, but generally I'm not looking for food in a place with "tavern" in the name. That being said, go for it! read more

Had a blast there. Great service and the bartender made wicked margaritas for our Sunday afternoon meals. Many laughs were had. Everything tasted awesome and came out hot! read more

Simple fish and fried food place. Very good fried chicken! Only downside is that the place is super tiny so there's been times where I've wanted to go but had to leave cause there was no where to sit. read more

All I can say is good good. Coldest beer and reasonable prices. Food is excellent from chicken to shrimp this place almost has it all. read more

Nope! Local here. I've been eating at this location for the last 3 or 4 tenants.. about 10 years. Until recently, The Bait Shack was the go-to spot for.. chicken! I know, unorthodox, but it was! Their fried chicken sandwich and fingers were awesome; large, well seasoned, juicy. No more. Ordered two chicken sandwiches and an order of fingers ($54). The chicken sandwiches were a huge disappointment compared to just a few months ago. Small, dry, under seasoned. The fingers were even drier and almost a joke. Random side note; the ranch dressing is now disgusting.. wtf? Head to Wendy's, same quality sandwich, half the time and half the cost. read more

Probably some of the best fish and oysters to be had in all of the Front Range! Great staff!

I'm usually the shack salad with grilled chicken. However I needed something warm and cozy. So I tried their green chili. Excellent, I'm from Pueblo, so I know green chili and how it is supposed to be. Best in town. Thanks, read more

It's a small place, but man is it good. My husband had the crawfish and was VERY happy with the large portion. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was so good. We will definitely come back. I felt bad for the one guy who was doing everything. He was behind the bar, out taking orders and running up and down the stairs. I was worried we'd have a long wait, but no, the food was out quickly. That guy deserves a raise. read more

So...we really wanted to like this place. I know I know it's soooo cliche here on Yelp! But it's so true. We should've known better right when we walked in. The overwhelming smell of old fish was strong, not in a good way. But it was cute, the reviews were good and I figured hey, it's a fish place. Of course it's gonna have a fishy aroma. We went upstairs to the bar/dining area and sat by the window. The view was incredible, that's the two stars. I believe I took a picture so that just gives you one point of view. However, there was a dead yellow jacket right there missing his head. Not sure what violence befell him but it's clear his dead carcass was left as a warning to other such insects...Beware! Do Not Enter! Death Awaits You!! Our server was on the quiet side. I later understood it was because he was not only our server but the bartender and seemed to be doing pretty much everything on his own. This was going on while another coworker of his was chatting and having a good time with either her friends or customers... Not sure which. She did come over to ask us if we were OK...after he had already served us everything. I ordered the jambalaya bowl and my husband ordered the grilled fish tacos. The jambalaya bowl was more of a cup, it was lukewarm, it desperately needs salt and spice, the chicken was almost non existent and the shrimp were itty bitty tiny lil things. It tasted vaguely like Campbell's chunky jambalaya soup healthy request. But that wasn't the worst of it... No not by a long shot. The fish tacos... Oh.my.lawd!!! As I was bending over to take a bite of my jambalaya the smell of the fish tacos slapped me in the face then slap the other side of my face and then punched me directly in the nose. It smelled like a five day old fish that had been sitting in the sun. I kid you not. We both didn't wanna waste our money so we ate what was given to us. I only took one bite of the tacos and almost vomited. Now I am vaguely nauseous. We really love the decor, the view and our server was very attentive despite being the only one working upstairs. But we will never, ever, ever come back to this place. read more

Been wanting to come here since I moved to Colorado and finally went on some rainy day last week. It was very relaxing and is in a great location in Evergreen. Great place to people watch and have a beer. Food took awhile but they looked short staffed so we didn't mind! Cheese curds were great and so was the chicken sandwich! I can't wait to go back and bring my friends next time read more

I'm in love with this little tavern! Don't be fooled by the little "shack" appearance on the outside! It's the coziest little small town bar around! The minute we walked in we were welcomed by locals and had amazing friendly service! The food was excellent! We had the peeled shrimp and catfish bites! I will for sure make the 45 min drive to Evergreen and hangout at this cool place again! read more

Beware before considering ! Only received half of what I ordered , slow to come . The owner was the worst , surprised the business exists. Usually give a place three tries , will not even consider a second !!!! read more

This is a great little bar right in Evergreen. We came upon it on Yelp one morning after a hike when we realized other places were not open until 12pm. Very happy that we did! It was quiet when we arrived, and we had no trouble getting a table outside. By the time we were leaving it was super busy and the poor bartender / server seemed a bit overwhelmed. Our table shared some popcorn shrimp, I tried the gumbo, and we also did the steamed shrimp. So tasty and the fries are fabulous! I will absolutely be back here again as this is a great addition to post-hike beers! read more

This place is great! Open late good bar crowd. I think everything is fried though. Nice to get a Po boy when I want one

After a great hike we went into Evergreen and a explored a bit. Found this great bar! It reminded us of home which is back on Long Island, NY. Ice cold beers, patio seating & great food. The fried oyster were SO good!!!! We also ordered the catfish bites which were equal as good. The vibe and service was great. We will for sure be coming back when we're in Evergreen again read more

Wow. This bartender was confrontational and aggressive. Used to love this spot. Maybe he was having a bad day? What a douche. Never ordered a thing. Customer service? Non existent..later homeboy. read more

This is a great little spot with a great view! It comes as a nice change from the typical bar food. My whole family came including a 3 year old and baby. Wings were very good! And the seafood very good! The kids grilled peanut butter/jelly was devoured by my picky kid so that should say enough for that. I'll be back for sure ! read more

My husband and I went for a hike near Evergreen this past weekend and came here for dinner after. Everything was so good and the service was great! We split grilled fish tacos and the fried catfish bites and each got a margarita. The fish was super fresh and cooked perfectly, and the house made tartar sauce was awesome. The catfish bites came with a ton of fries, probably too many for just the two of us, but if we had been splitting the appetizer with more people it would have been a perfect amount, plus they were seasoned perfectly. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

The Bait Shack Tavern was the perfect place to stop for a late lunch. We split the catfish bucket and had some beverages. We sat at the bar and chatted and played the trivia cards. The atmosphere was fun and the staff was friendly. We'll go back the next time we are up there. read more

Employees are kind and helpful, but the Owner burns the fish when he cooks and talks bad about his help in front of customers .. I just can't get over it .. seen it too many times .. bad form. read more

I wanted to try the place. El Rancho quit serving The Catfish Basket. And, El Rancho seems to never have a Porter Beer. Both reasons why I drive up to Evergreen. So, I decided I would try BST. Nice idea. No parking. Back to Littleton/Centennial and had Cat at SMOKIN' Dave's. read more

I've only had their fries and catfish...but I don't see any reason to change it up because the catfish is so good. Perfectly fried and tenderly moist on the inside. The fries are seasoned with crack...maybe not, but my goodness they're tasty. read more

Simply great food and great service in the middle of Evergreen. We recommend the catfish bites and jambalaya.

We've moved to Colorado a week ago and decided to take a break from unpacking. As we drove through Evergreen, we noticed a place called The Bait Shack with a musician playing in the window. We took a chance. The minute we arrived the customers were so friendly and the staff was right there to take our drink order. We had the best time! But another surprise was the food! It was fantastic, we couldn't have been happier! Everything was wonderful, including the musician! read more

Amazing Food! Amazing atmosphere! Great prices! Oh and great food. Outside deck sitting. Great for Football Sunday. Ask for Boomer! read more

Loved the catfish that I got. Fries felt never ending and bbq sauce was yummy. And the bartender made a wonderful gin and tonic!

Beyond sad they got rid of the crab legs. Was the main reason we came!! Would never give a bad review here but praying for more crab legs!
