Gus's Place - Blue cheese and crackers, Dutch lunch for two. Cold cuts were good! - Italian Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

This place is super laid back and a great experience. The staff is friendly and personable, the beer is cheap, and though the menu is limited to two items, the Dutch lunch sandwiches and blue cheese and crackers, the food is GREAT! There are enough parts for five whole sandwiches and that plus two beers is only around $30! Not the regular rowdy bar atmosphere, but somewhere you could take your family for a cheap yet healthy meal out. read more

Best place in town to have a cold beer and a Dutch lunch. Not to mention the atmosphere.old time bar,will take you down memory lane. If only the walls could talk.. read more

Friendly service and delicious quality food. Reasonable priced. It's a great gathering place.

I came here to grab a beer with my daughter and her friend. The beer comes in a very cool glass - if you order a schooner that is. And... you need to order it in a schooner. We didn't order food, just the beer. It's a great place to meet up with friends and feel the energy from everyone in the place. A thing to note - if you use the restroom, you will probably notice there is no sink to wash your hands. Exit the restroom and the sink is out there in the bar area. I suppose you can ridicule anyone who is not a hand washer in your group! :) read more

Gus's Place - Schooner's home - Italian Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

Friendly bar, we did not realize they did not have hot food on menu. Cold cut sandwiches were good though. Very dirty neighborhood. Tiny bathroom. No complaints read more

Best bar in Southern Colorado! Ice cold schooners. Deconstructed sandwiches. Traditional, delicious. Have a Miller schooner for $1.65! Their other domestics are $2. If you're coming home to Pueblo, it's one of THE FIRST places you'll want to re-visit. The 100? year history of this place is depicted with super interesting photos on the walls. Gus' was the very first bar in Colorado to get their liquor license after prohibition. The bartenders are so so nice. Above and beyond. They will remember you even if they haven't seen you for months, man. read more

Our first time here today on the advice of a friend as we passed through Pueblo. What a delight! The place was sparkling clean and the hostess was so friendly and welcoming. The "Dutch lunch" was delicious and we ended up Making 3 sandwiches out of it for only $12. Since we were driving, we didn't partake in the cold beers we heard so much about. We will definitely be back. Loved the historical photos and the old school vibe of this treasure. Please support this business! You'll be so glad you came! read more

An old school place! love it and so will you! If you are travelling through Pueblo you owe it to yourself to give Gus's a visit. This beer joint has been serving CF&I steelworkers and fellow Pueblo folks for like 80+ years. You can't go wrong with the dirt cheap schooners less than 2 bucks! And WTF try and find that anywhere else on this planet. And don't forget get the famous Dutch lunch (a plate of build it yourself lunch Sammy filled with onions, Several kinds of lunch meat, and tomatoes with condiments of mustard, mayo, all laid upon really fresh white bread to build your own sandwiches). This combo comes from the Bojon history of the area and the steel mill crews from the 40's & 50's and still is delicious today. Get over to Gus's you'll see for yourself. I always stop when in Pueblo and so should you. read more

We found an absolute treasure when we walked in to Gus's Tavern. Went on a Tuesday at 11 o'clock and the place filled up within minutes. Classic old style classic bar and the scooters to boot. The dutch lunch was absolutely delightful as was the staff. read more

Great locals dive bar. It's a historical landmark. Cold schnooners of beer. Lots of great pics on the wall. Single red felt pool table.

It doesn't get any more local than this. In the '40s graveyard shift workers from the steel mill would come here for breakfast; probably having the same schooners of Miller High Life and Dutch Lunch served today. Their Dutch Lunch is Half a loaf of fresh white bread and a plate of cold cuts (the capicola is locally made & is OUTSTANDING). I'm back in Pueblo for a funeral, and after the formal reception at the church we came to Gus's to let our hair down. The advanced planning consisted of a phone call: "When people start coming in bring out the Dutch Lunches and don't stop." They didn't! 20 Oz. Schooners of Miller, Miller Lite, Budweiser, Bud Light and Michelob flowed as freely as the stories. Service was fast, friendly and capable - our 2 tables (20+ mourners) took over the inside half of the bar and we never had to wait more than a minute. Gus's is a Pueblo tradition on par with green chilis and the State Fair. If you don't understand that sentence then you're probably not from Pueblo and you should give it a try. read more

Gus's Tavern has been a go-to destination for my family for four generations. My sister and I stopped in for a twofer and a Dutch lunch. The beer at Gus's is the coldest beer on earth. So good! As always the bread, cheese and meat made for some yummy sammiches. It's been sometime since we stopped in, in fact our father was still alive. You'll only be disappointed with Gus's if you want a run of the mill chain dining experience. Stay away in that case, we appreciate Gus's just the way it is! read more

Would definitely recommend this establishment. We had the Dutch lunch and the Miller beer on special. Lunch was quick, fresh and delicious! Waitress said the bread and deli was from the bakery and deli down the street. The bar feels like your back in time. A must for lunch in Pueblo. read more

Gus's Place - Delicious "Dutch Lunch"!! - Italian Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

This place is a hidden gem. Friendly and cozy. The deli lunch was as fresh and tasty as any meat this side if Italy. Braved a flood and hail storm to get here and it was worth it. read more

If you're looking for authentic anything- come here. Fun atmosphere, the one of a kind Dutch Lunch washed down by a SCHOONER of beer, cold as ice! You'll be sorry if you missed this iconic place. read more

Great neighborhood bar! The Dutch lunch was delicious and the schooners were cold. Donna was a wonderful hostess!

Great place. People are friendly and it is a must when in Pueblo!

We have been going there as a family for three generations. Had wakes for the first two at Gus's. The Dutch Lunch is fantastic as is the service and prices. If you want a little nostalgia this is the place to go. read more

Full disclosure: this appears to be a very bad neighborhood on the outside which houses two treasures on one block: Gus's and Gagliano's Italian Market. But this is about Gus, so I'll stick to that. A great old bar who's walls you wish could talk. With it's close proximity to the steel mill you can envision what it must have looked like in the 50s when things were really humming. Order a frosty schooner of Bud, and get the famous Dutch lunch (a plate of lunch meat, raw onion and tomatoes with sides of mustard, mayo, and bakery fresh white bread to build your own sandwiches). There's a reason people have been coming here for over 80 years. See for yourself. read more

Gus's Place - The Dutch Lunch. - Italian Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

We stopped here for lunch en-route to Denver. Gus's had a 4 1/2 star rating - what could go wrong? Gus's was fairly easy to find from the freeway, but that is the only good point. It is a neighborhood bar from the early 60's, with food options limited to a "Dutch Lunch" either small or large. We settled on the small and got a plate of sliced italian bread, a plate of lunch meat and a plate of onions, tomatoes and hot peppers. Simply put - it is a make-your-own sandwich. That and two iced teas were $18. Just go to the grocery store and save both time and $$ read more

Cannot rate fully because we did not eat. We were driving through with our family. This is a bar. The Dutch Lunch is the only thing they serve. May be yummy but there are no other options, literally no menu. Bathrooms share 1 sink located in bar. read more

Gus's Place is a neighborhood Italian restaurant/ bar that only serves a "Dutch Lunch." You get freshly cut lunch meats( ham, salami, capacola), cheese and tomatoes and onion platter. The homemade Italian bread is delicious. It is a simple fresh lunch. Nothing fancy but good. You see the neighborhood families enjoying chatting and greeting each other. It is worth a side trip off of the interstate I25. read more

Not a local. Found ourselves on a Monday night looking for a place to eat. I would not have walked in this place in a million years if the reviews weren't good. Bar keep was very friendly. Only thing you can eat is the Dutch plate. I am not a cold cut fan and I am still not. But I would not have missed the decor' personalities at the bar. Food was good the experience was better. read more

Gus's place has one Gold and Silver in the "Best of Pueblo" contest for Best Bar and Coldest Beer on Tap. I have to give it to them, the beer is ice cold!!! read more
