I would give this place 0 stars but the two bartenders were nice and made an effort! Our reservation was at 6:30 PM the hostess/manager told us she didn't have a table on the patio but she said we were next for a patio table. 20 mins later she swung by the bar to let us know that she didn't forget us and that she was "stalking" the people just sitting there. She said the guy singing was really good and she would get us out there to hear him. We watched another party get seated out there then we saw two more tables get seated and the hostess/manager hugged one of the second party. (Just a guess this was a friend?) My husband went up to ask her why we haven't been seated her reply was a curt " You are on the wait list" to which my husband responded "No we have been waiting an hour for our reservation. " She said " oh my I forgot you" and apologized saying she would make a difference on our bill. My husband responded "No need, just forget it we will eat at the bar." He asked for the manager and this is when we found out she was the manager. He said " oh wow" to which she replied very aggressively "That's right managers make mistakes too.!" This is when we should have left but... we ordered. Steak frites (up sold to wagu) and a hamburger that was touted as the reason the restaurant was built . Twenty minutes later the " wagu" came bleeding all over the plate and so raw it was purple. ( we ordered medium) and his hamburger came as a fried chicken sandwich! They left him the Parmesan fries which were cold so he told them he would wait for his burger and warm fries. So...10 minutes later "wagu" steak frites comes back out . Same piece of meat re- warmed up, hmmm. Meanwhile some guy with crazy eyes comes out to the bar and asks if everything is ok. We say yes although it had been a disaster. Remember this guy for later). In another 20 minutes (no joke) my husband gets his burger ...the bill comes - they took off his burger and a couple drinks. When we tip we tell the bartenders the tip on here is for the drinks only - the food doesn't deserve a tip to which the bartender responds " I understand." We are leaving and they that hostess/manager ask my husband his name to which he replies " Don't worry about it." They follow us out and the manager says " Don't ever come back!" To which all three of us reply " you can count on that!" She says " Good, you are not welcome back and here is our owner's name and number." We say great we will take it. We start walking to our car when I realize I don't have my phone. I turn around to walk back to get it. Guy I previously mentioned (from the bar w the crazy eyes) is standing there arms crossed his chest and he tells me "You aren't going back in." I told him I left my phone. He said someone else would get it . I said ok. Then he repeats you are not welcome here! There are people hearing him. I asked him if he was aware of what had happened to us that evening which he said yes your husband wouldn't take an apology and he was rude to our manager. My husband saw him getting in my face and started walking back. Once I got my phone I turned to my husband and said these people are nuts let's get out of here! The manager lifted her phone like she was videoing . I hope she did and I hope she shows the poor owner, Chris, who they will undoubtedly tell we were unruly patrons. People, we were not unruly we were honest! They messed up our reservation, forgot us and then messed up our food but they expect us not to say anything?! Please RUN do not walk away from this establishment. There are many places we have visited on this trip that have been wonderful this was truly a nightmare! read more

The first time we came here the service was VERY slow. I didn't think much of it (maybe just a busy night). We came back and the service is actually just TERRIBLE. Don't expect to get drinks/food or even WATERS for a looonnngggg time. We ended up getting our own waters and cups from the back because we had to wait so long for someone to even come over. I think they are understaffed or something because nobody will check on you. read more

The hummus was sublime. Some of the best I've ever had and it's a huge serving. The hazy ipa was excellent. read more

Craftsman Brew - New Noise Crowlers for the road. - Beer Bar Near Me - Edwards, Colorado

Went here on Sunday at the last minute because Drunken Goat restaurant next door was closed. This was great! Good concept - wait, order at register, sit with tag and wait for food. Must definitely help cut down on wait staff that is so hard to find these days! Expensive in a Vail-area way. We had glasses of house-type wine for $12-13. Sandwich was $16. Fries were an extra $3. BUT - we weren't terribly hungry so we split the food. It was perfect! They even brought the sandwich and fries out split. Sandwich was the Turkey special. It was TO DIE FOR good! Loads of Turkey, grilled up with bacon, Gruyère, harissa Mayo, and we told them to skip the kraut. Buttery griddled on rye bread. Amazing. So tangy and flavorful that I'm glad I wasn't going to eat a whole sandwich myself. Fries were shoestring and crispy. I would get this again and again. Ambiance - think upscale Chipotle meets brew pub. Like, get your own silverware and napkins from a Le Creuset crock sitting on the table. Get your own carafe of tap water with plastic cafeteria glasses. Blackboard listing beers on tap. Weirdly full of Northface and Columbia dressed young families with loud toddlers for lunch on Sunday. Prompt and hustling bussers taking away metal baking trays on which food was served. You could see a couple guys behind a glass barrier cooking the food. Nice outdoor seating available too. Clean bathrooms. It was hopping! I'd go back. We were looking for a wine and cheese bar, but it was closed. Craftsman was a fun substitute! read more

We had dinner at the new craftsman tonight and it was absolutely amazing.

Food (both in quality and portions) was good. Outdoor tables were so warped that drinks couldn't be set down on at least 20% of the tabletop. Service was prompt. But, seriously. Fix the damn tables. read more

We spent a little over a week traveling around Colorado, Estes Park, Vail/Avon, Breckenridge, Aspen, and Craftsman Brew was THE best find. Totally blow away with the flavors and richness of the dishes. Though from Austin, TX, where the queso is top notch, the queso at Craftsman was really good. Much different, yet creamy, salty and delicious. Mostly due to the salsa macha is my guess. The chips were equally great, which can make or break queso. The highlight of the meal was the green chili cheese steak. I've been all over and this was, BY FAR the best cheese steak that I've had. I'm partial to green chilies having grown up in southern NM, next to Hatch, the green chili capital of the world. Yet, wow, the flavor of this sandwich was great! Great bread, great steak, really great cheese combo, and of course, green chilies! The patio was enjoyable as well, really nice day. quiet, we had a nice time. Keep it up, you're doing a great job!!! (only suggestion I have is, the wait staff seemed over worked, and not as attentive as I'd hope, and the hostess, seemed quite unhappy, not the front end I'd choose) read more

Great food and atmosphere. A wide rotating list of local beers and specialty drinks. A must stop in the Vail valley.

Really easy to park in the underground parking and take the elevator up to be just a hundred meters from the front door. Trendy little place nestled in a shopping courtyard with incredible food, fabulous brews on tap, and amazing service! Perfect place for lunch - great options for the entire family! Rocky Mountain Root Beer for the kids and some delicious vegetarian choices. Only regret is not having enough time for a second pint! read more

We stopped here on a Sunday while driving from Palisade Colorado to our home near Denver. The local fried mushrooms were a special treat. We shared a wonderful hamburger that was wickedly delicious. Not too far off the highway and worth a stop if you are hungry. read more

Great Food, Management Organization Lacking I hate to be writing this because the food is so good here. But the organization is lacking and ownership needs to understand this. Today, the restaurant was significantly under-staffed. It took far too long to get drinks out of the bar and this is a brewery/restaurant where one would think that getting drinks is a priority. Also, they ran out of the homemade pretzels and this was only 90 minutes after the place opened. Being under-staffed is no doubt great for the bottom line. But as a customer, you really end up feeling taken advantage of. We are well past the COVID issues of staffing, so if we can't adequately staff at this point, perhaps we don't deserve to be in business. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g33405-d12726085-r893435371-Craftsman-Edwards_Colorado.html# read more

Excellent food and service - pretty much everything is homemade. Green Chile Philly is out of this world. Parmesan fries are on point - even better dipped into the garlic rosemary aioli. Cool classic vibe that's not too loud, not too trendy, but truly just right. read more

Wonderful food and very friendly service. Highly recommend getting reservations as getting a walk in table is challenging.

Food is great. Service was wonderful. The quest with braised beef was out of this world. Price reflects the area. Can't wait to go back.

We went here with some friends for the first time yesterday. No complaints and very satisfied!! They have a great beer list with not just your typical beers. I personally love trying a new beers so, that was a huge plus. The food was really really good. We had parmesan fries, fried mushrooms, Nashville hot chicken and the rock n roll(shrimp po boy type of sandwich). Everything was so good and I would order again. Can't wait to come back! read more

Food was filling & so tasty. Our server was so friendly & accommodating. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent! Fresh ingredients well-prepared and in a cool new space. I like that the owners feature the kitchen more prominently to highlight the skill of their chefs. We had one of their salads which was great and then also the excellent tomato soup and amazing grilled bread. Sitting at the bar overlooking the kitchen, we saw 10 more things we need to try. We will certainly be back. read more

I miss the old craftsman. Service has gone way downhill since they moved across the street. Went in for lunch and sat at the bar, first words out of the bartenders mouth were "you can sit there but it's gonna be a while, I'm really busy". Not exactly inviting, so we left and got food and drinks elsewhere.. read more

First time in Edwards and we saw this place was crowded so figured we need to stop by! Went on Thursday around 6:45 and it had a 45 minute wait, so we skipped and went Friday night and got a table after about 10 mins. Food is outstanding -- they take simple dishes and put a great, gourmet twist on them. The burger is amazing, one of the best I've ever had. The hot chicken sandwhich is good but very spicy. Cookies were a must - warm and goey with crispy edges! Definitely will come next time we're in Vail Valley. read more

Great location and recommend sitting on the patio. Beer is good but pricey. Great stop for a drink.

Sat for 15 minutes at the counter. Asked three different people for service, but was still ignored. Didn't stay for the food and won't be back. I guess locals don't matter when you have rich, fur-bearing tourists to cater to. read more

Visited with a few new work friend and everything was very good. The old fashioned I had was on point. What I really want to talk about was the star. Their burger was DELICIOUS! One of the best burgers I've ever had. It had almost a citrus essence to it.The fries were shoe string and very crunchy which are not my favorite type of fries but if that's your jam, they were pretty good. I saw many Parmesan fries walk by, which I can bet wild have elevated them more. Super busy but it's no wonder when the food and drinks are amazing! read more

Excellent food and service. Had the green chili cheesesteak, Brussels sprouts, kids Mac, kids burger. Everything was delicious! Had beers, too. We sat at the bar and the kitchen staff was very friendly. Best food we had in BC this week. read more

This place is okay but not that great. Burger is terribly salty. Always crowded and popular.

Really cool place with a neat vibe. Good beers on tap and the spicy chicken sandwich was awesome. They were really busy and we showed up as a group of seven with no reservation. The got us in with little wait. My only complaint was the room temperature was a little hot. read more

We walked in. The hostess was going to sit us at the end of the hallway since I had my young daughter. My 1.5 yo saw the highchair and wanted to sit in it. She loves high chairs! We started walking that way.... Because she doesn't understand wait. The hostess responded in the most bitchy tone that we needed to wait. This is while she's putting crayons and silverware on the table. Which the crayons made my daughter want to sit down even more!! The interaction was not friendly at all. The waitress was just as bad. She got our order and literally never checked back. She was training someone and I think he could see us looking and was able to check in. He was great. But the girl was awful. Didn't treat us like guests. Will not ever come back to this pretentious place. We ordered the off season special so maybe they treat the others better. read more

Have been here multiple times. Every time we visit to ski it's on our must go-to places list. Delicious food, nice beer and wine and friendly service. Love that they've expanded, too! read more

The noise level was so high we left before being seated. Definitely not a relaxing atmosphere.

Worst place to go they always turn new people away and there is always employees standing around talking when people are waiting to be screened read more

A group of 6 of us came here on a Tuesday night. They were busy, but accommodating. We managed to get a table without a reservation in about 20 minutes! Service was great the entire night. I shared the chicken sandwich and burger with a friend. Both were excellent. The chicken sandwich definitely has some heat to it! The yams was an excellent plate. Highly recommend getting them to share. I also had an IPA that was quite tasty. 10/10 recommend. read more

A favorite spot for lunch and a casual dinner. Love the Green Chile Philly sandwich! And good local brews read more

Dope spot, very enjoyable atmosphere, food and staff. Highly recommend you stop in and enjoy!

Some of the best food I've had in a while. Service was great as well. But gosh, the chicken sandwich and Philly are worth every penny. Great ambiance as well. read more

Beware, new owners. QR code order only goes through after credit card number is entered. Drinks never came until we picked them up at the bar ourselves. Never could get help from anyone (three different people delivered our order). They are also adding 5% to your check for who knows what. I used to come here as long as there has been a brewery, but probably will not go back. read more

Food is good but they play loud screamo music at lunch and you can't even talk. We got up and left.

Great service and music. We sat at the bar and everyone was super friendly. Tasty cocktails and yum beers on tap. Favorite appetizer was the salmon crudo. The mushroom 'pastrami' sandwich was delicious. Our new tradition is oysters and queso post skiing. Love this place! read more
