    a glass of beer on a bar
    Rich B.

    By far one of my favorite places in fruita. Customers & staff are some of the friendliest people I have met. Great beers this is German Weiss beer now in December they have inside seating by bar then patio is closed and sealed up with outdoor heaters and this photo is in courtyard by gas fireplace

    The Aspen Street Coffee Porter - yes, they made beer from the local coffee shops beans and it was fantastic!

    Fruita needed a place like this. Welcoming to locals and tourists alike. I think of it as Fruita's living room. People come here to hang out, drink beer, socialize and enjoy life. The owners are very personable and are always there running the place. Dan is the Brewmeister and this man knows how to brew beer! Bring in your own food or order it delivered from many local restaurants, because they don't do food - they just do beer. Might as well do what you are good at, right? I come back every chance I get - you should check it out too!

    This Is a gem right on Main St in Fruita. Excellent beer and the bartender was friendly and efficient / no other wait staff present and he took care of a crowded room (and patio) on a wonderful sunny afternoon. We ordered a flight- The IPA was great, but the Decapitation Red was a delightful brew that nudged it out for the growler fill. It's perfectly balanced. Amber, Rye pale and double IPA were solid. Great value and nice locale.

    Love 18 Road IPA. Hate the grunge music. Skipped the food, just drank the beer and went across the street to eat.

    Beer was delicious. Would go back. Belgian fries? Not Belgian style fries; and they were over cooked.

My wife and I were passing through town for the night and just looking for somewhere near the Colorado National Monument to kill an hour. Handlebar Tap House turned out to be exactly what we needed. A lot of places claim to have a great beer selection, but end up pouring the same tired distribution kegs week after week. Not here. They run 24 rotating handles, and whoever is doing the ordering actually gives a damn about curating a balanced board. I was stoked to see they had a special local collaboration beer on tap called The Ocho. They brewed it up with the folks over at WestCo Brewing to celebrate their eighth anniversary, and it is a phenomenal, juicy IPA. The pour was absolutely spot on, complete with a perfect two-finger head that left thick lacing all the way down the glass. The hop profile was incredibly bold and fruit-forward. We were really only planning on grabbing that quick beer, but we caved and ordered the beer-battered cheese curds. I can be pretty picky about bar snacks, especially when trying to save room for a big meal later. Most of the time, fried cheese is just a heavy, greasy mess where the breading completely overwhelms the actual dairy. These were a massive surprise. The beer batter is light and super crisp, practically shattering right when you bite into it. It gives way to a perfect, hot, melty pull while somehow still keeping a bit of that authentic cheese curd squeak. We polished off the entire basket in minutes. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot between a lively local joint and a relaxed gastropub. The service was fast, which is crucial when you are watching the clock for dinner reservations, and the bartender actually knew the tap list inside and out. The whole vibe is completely unpretentious. It is just a proper pub doing exactly what it should. If our travels ever bring us back through Grand Junction, I will definitely be stopping in again.

I ordered their hummus place. It came with carrots, celery, cucumbers and pita bread, and was plenty for one person or as an appetizer for two people. They had a great craft beer list, and several specials such as a beer of the day for $4 ,as well as food specials.

The greens added a little kick, the onions perfectly sliced; almost paper thin. The green chiles cut into little morsels add that Smokey bit we crave when we think of fiesta style foods. There were bits of queso fresco crumbled over the whole thing, giving that tang. Even the brown rice was treated with the utmost respect and has the most amazing flavor and hearty texture! Lastly, I'm sure someone back there made that citrus crema from scratch and I basically licked that little ramekin clean! Thank you, thank you! A stop anyone in Junction will not regret!

I could mention several criticisms of recent managerial decisions, but I'll just limit it to one. The "American Breakfast" has disappeared, replaced by an a la carte ordering model. I assume this reflects price creep and the reality that the market will not support a $20 counter-service breakfast (especially one that prompts for pre-tipping) when a comparable $12 option is available across the street at a full-service restaurant. Combined with long wait times and lukewarm food, caused by either amateurs in the kitchen or lackadaisical food delivery by the counter-staff, Cafe Sol has regretfully moved to my "occasionally OK" list.
