A Bar…read moreAbove hosted my son's wedding welcome party at the end of June 2026 and it was an excellent time for all! Eliot and his staff were absolutely wonderful and so was the food and drinks. We had a fabulous time. Eliot is such a nice guy and went out of his way to help my son. At the last minute, some help my son had hired to assist during the wedding reception the following night quit unexpectedly! We had no idea why but it was too late to find anyone else. Eliot came to the rescue with several contact names and everyone came through for my son. Our deepest thanks to Eliot and A Bar Above and a definite recommend!

We stopped by on Saturday around 6 PM and the manager was so kind to help us put a larger table together. We only waited about 10 minutes. Our server was so sweet. I don't remember her name, but she was extremely knowledgeable about all the cocktails -- and there are many. It's one thing to memorize the ingredients, but quite another to understand flavor, profiles, textures, substitutions, etc. she really knows her stuff and was great at making recommendations. We tried a number of different cocktails, including the Headhunter, Xanadu, London press, lemon ginger NA, and poco loco. Personally, I had the headhunter and Poco Loco. The headhunter was yummy, but not special enough to order again. The Poco Loco, however, was unique and delicious with the habanero infusion so present and the foamy top giving it a melt in your mouth texture. It's pretty warm in there as they have no AC and no fans to circulate the air and it is still summer, plus drinking makes you hotter, so we were a little sweaty, but This is of course, a very temporary feeling as the area does not stay this hot for long. Absolutely can't wait to come back

When we first arrived, the hostess let us know that they were experiencing staffing issues…read moreinforming us that the food/service might take a little bit longer, but that they'd be happy to get us seated. The patio was gorgeous, and the food was my favorite meal I had while visiting Crested Butte! I was amazed at how quickly we were helped, especially considering them being short staffed on top of them hosting a wedding party. I mostly wanted to leave a review because our server (I believe his name was Daniel) was incredible. As somebody who works in food service, it can feel like a lot of pressure to tend to each guest, but he was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our entire meal! I asked him for a recommendation between 2 brews I was deciding on, and even after I said I trusted his judgment, he STILL brought me both options for me to try, so that I could decide for myself. He recommended we also add the cheese fondue for the pretzel we got as an appetizer, and I would trust the man with my life... lol. I experienced firsthand how wonderful of a server he was, and was absolutely appalled by the treatment he received from the guests at the table next to us. I understand things happen and communication can be difficult when there's so much going on, but they were giving the server a hard time when they received a drink they supposedly hadn't ordered. The server was able to get it removed from their bill, and it seemed like it had been handled politely and quickly. Not long after I saw their food arrive, I watched one of the guests complain about something... Daniel immediately took it back to the kitchen to fix it, but as he walked away I noticed the group of men laughing at him. While Daniel remained patient, and did everything he could to satisfy them, it was incredibly disheartening to see somebody so kind, who'd been working incredibly hard, be treated the way he was. It seemed to me as though they were finding humor in making him run around. While I like to assume best intent, watching them laugh as he addressed their concerns and rushed to fix them made me feel as though they'd done so on purpose. Daniel took it like a champ, and still continued to check in with us throughout the meal. I hope Bruhaus knows how grateful myself and so many others are, to be served by such kind people! THANK YOU

After a long drive from Arizona to Crested Butte, we arrived late into town looking for somewhere…read moreto eat. We were looking for something near our hotel with a kitchen that opens late and that offers gluten-free options (for my buddy). Iron Horse Tap ended up being the place for us. They serve up American bar food and appetizers with a nice selection of beer, wine and cocktails on their drink menu. Iron Horse Tap is located inside The Plaza and has great views of Mt. Crested Butte's Peak. We were able to walk over from our hotel. It was a chilly night, so we appreciated how warm and cozy the place was. Iron Horse has a number of TVs that show various sporting events. The pizza options on the menu looked good, so order a MOB Pizza with a beer. I like to try the local beers whenever I visit a new town and Iron Horse had a selection of local Colorado beers on tap. Iron Horse Tap had a nice crowd on hand and ended up being a solid first stop for us on this trip to Crested Butte.

We loved our meal at The Breadery The Flamin' Pickle Martini was out of this world. Hands down one of my all time favorite drinks. There is a kick, but it's not overpowering, same with the pickle flavor. It was top notch. We started out with a few types of the sourdough. They came out hot and perfectly baked. Highly recommend you order the special sourdough of the day (whatever it is, it will be amazing) and to try some of the spreads (if you like beets, you need the beat goat cheese spread). I ordered the spaghetti and added meatballs. The noodles were amazing, the sauce was perfect, and the meatballs added a nice touch. Honestly, you can't order anything bad here, so order whatever sounds the tastiest. It's the best!

They specialize in live fire cooking and we were lucky enough to get a booth right across from the action as you will see in the pics. They use a mix of red and white oak to control the heat along with a series of movable grill plates. We started with a delicious Strawberry Salad that also had watermelon radish and delicate greens lightly tossed in a vinaigrette. Coming from Arizona, I had to try the Pozole and thrilled I did. The rich red broth gave light to the chili heart of this very complex liquid. The pozole had great texture and the shredded pork was tender and outstanding. An excellent example of this favorite dish. The most amazing entree was the main course. It was a shareable Half Elk Rack. While I like medium rare, when it was brought to the table, I thought it might be too rare. As soon as I tasted it, I realized it was perfection. It was so tender and the chew was great, especially on the end pieces that had an incredible bark on the outside. Elk is an extremely lean dish so to add some unctuous notes, they take Fois Gras, and as the fat renders, add huckleberries before putting it in a blender to create a heavenly base. We couldn't resist dragging every bite across the serving plate to savor the magic. As a side dish, we ordered the squash which was also perfectly roasted over the live fire and complimented the dish.

Kind of hard to eat around the small bones but loved the stuffed flavors! For dinner, we shared two dishes: ELK SAUSAGE & PEPPERS PASTA and PORK CHOP. The pasta was very so-so, nothing that blew me away. However, the pork chop was super tasty - loved the sauce. For dessert, we shared limoncello sorbet - perfect amount of refreshing and loved the fun strawberry powder! Our server was super nice and attentive. Really nice experience overall!
