We were wandering around downtown Durango late Tuesday morning looking for lunch and quickly realized many places are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the mid-April off-season. Thankfully, we came across Carver Brewing Co. and were happy to see it open. They offer a great variety of local beers, including options to take some to go. We tried the Double IPA and the Hazy--both were delicious. They also have wine and mimosas available if beer isn't your thing. Bo (or Beau) was our bartender and truly made the experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a genuine smile the entire time. His energy was infectious and really brightened the atmosphere. Definitely a must-stop when passing through Durango.

This is another great burger spot! Located right in downtown Durango so parking is a bit difficult but the food is worth it! I got an amazing burger and "fries". More like potato wedges. We are outside and the weather and service was incredible! What really stole the show though was their desserts!!!!!! I couldn't decide so I got two! First I got the cream cheese zucchini cake and OMG! Soooooo good. The second option was the bourbon pecan skillet! We shared this one and I could have eaten the entire thing. I never order dessert but I could not pass these up! Must try in Durango!

Went here on 6/8/26. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Beers were delicious. Raspberry wheat and dandelion saison. The green chili in a bread bowl is delicious! Cheers!

This is a must visit in downtown Durango! Super walkable and plentiful street prkg make this spot easily accessible! Bar staff were super friendly w/fast service! Definitely rustic mountain vibe, which is perf for the location and beers were true to style! They open at 11am, which is great, if you like me you wanted to get a flight in before your actual flight! Old Oak Amber 5.5% Munich Dunkel 4.4% Black Bear BBA Stout 10.2% Big Bike DIPA 7.8%

Smoked meatloaf w itch mashed potato's and broccolini

Staff is very efficient seating us immediately and serving our food in a timely manner. Restaurant is decorated very nice and is like most brewpubs . Food was very good and is worth a second stop in the future.

This was our second trip to Durango. And our second trip to Carver! Food is really good. The beer is solid. They are in a great spot on Main Street so plenty to do before and after walking past numerous coffee shops, restaurants, and cool little shops with everything you could possibly want.

We had a great time in this brewery, enjoyed very much the Green Chile Chicken Pasta even if mine came with almost no chicken or maybe no chicken but the flavor and seasonings were spectacular and I would go back just for the same. We were seated in a basement like place and when I asked about the patio it turned out it was reserved for a private party Beer was good, nothing to write home about but traditional from a brewery took one for the lack of protein Can't say anything bad about the service, she did very well

Local beers. Amber ale and I can't remember lol

We came here on a NYE day time and the place was PACKED. we opted to sit at the bar. The bartenders were amazing and very friendly despite being super busy. We ordered their chipotle steak nachos and shared them. It was soooo delicious. The portion was very filling. Great selection of local beers too.

Trying the Yankee IPA

We were greeted immediately and seated right away. Our drinks and food order was taken and also served to us within 10 minutes. We did come at opening 11am and left by 11:50. Great service!

Burger, zucchini, and fries.

My band, RELAAY, was recently on tour and had a show in Durango. We walked along Main Street, looking for a restaurant with several options, and ended up at Carver Brewing Co. It was a Wednesday night around 7 p.m., and the place was quite busy. Although our server was responsible for many tables, he did a great job welcoming us, checking in throughout our meal, and making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered a burger with no bun, zucchini, and Sidewinder fries, and it was delicious! Everyone in the band ordered different items and was equally impressed with the portion sizes and quality of their food. Highly recommend.

We have a soccer team looking for a place for dinner. Could they handle 30+ at one time?

I do believe they have a party room. Not sure about 30. You might want to call them to see for sure.

I just flew in to Durango with my family, and today just so happens to be my 19th wedding…read moreanniversary. We had found ourselves on a waitlist at some "fried stuff with cheese" restaurant down the street, which nothing at all looked appetizing to me so I vetoed. Got on Yelp, found 636 well rated nearby and the menu looked wonderful. Got here to a healthy amount of patrons and warm ambiance/atmosphere. Service was great despite me being an annoying tourist. I tried every dish we had plus the hot rolls, which have a buttery pimento dip. Everyone agreed that the food was spectacular. Of all the things to love about 636 (which there are many), my favorite is that when I mentioned our anniversary to the lady, she said "Oh! I'll get the anniversary confetti!" Hilarious and endearing. I love Durango already, and 636 made such a great impression. Thank you!

My wife and I made reservations at 636 Main for ourselves and two friends who came into town to…read moremeet up with us while we were traveling through Colorado. We were seated on the patio and it took quite a while for our server to greet us. Once she did, she brought water and took our drink order. She returned with our drinks and said she would be back to take our food order. We had plenty to talk about while waiting, but she repeatedly walked past our table to attend to other tables without stopping. Eventually, I had to stop her and let her know we were ready to order. My wife and our friend's wife both ordered a pasta dish with sliced steak and spinach. My friend had a salad with salmon and a bowl of soup, and I ordered the filet with potato lasagna and spinach. As the evening went on, it became breezy and chilly. I asked another server if the patio heater could be turned on, and someone came over right away to help, which we appreciated. When our meals arrived, everything looked excellent and tasted very good. The food was definitely the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, our server only stopped by our table once during the entire meal to check on us and it was lien she was in a rush to leave to table. We spent a long time waiting to see if she would ask whether we needed anything or if we were finished. It wasn't as though she had to go out of her way to reach us--she walked past our table numerous times while serving her other tables. Because of the lack of attention, I once again had to get her attention to let her know we were finished and ask for a dessert menu. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate dessert to go after she highly recommended it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the description once I had a chance to eat it. The chocolate flavor was very mild, and the crunchy layer on the bottom was not particularly enjoyable nothing like a Dubai Chocolate. Overall, the food was excellent and deserving of praise. However, for a fine dining restaurant where both the food and drinks come at premium prices, the service fell well short of expectations. Great meals can make for a memorable evening, but attentive service is an important part of the fine dining experience, and unfortunately that was missing during our visit.
