Everything our table got was perfection. quick service despite being packed. Will be coming back for sure

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at High Alpine Brewing. We chose this brewery because we thought it was pet friendly, especially since they have a large outdoor upstairs patio. When we arrived, we were initially told dogs weren't allowed. I explained that our dog is extremely well-behaved and simply lays quietly under the table. The hostess said that was fine and seated us at a table right next to the outdoor area. After we sat down, three different employees approached us asking whether our dog was a service animal, even though another staff member had already approved her being there. By that point, we felt singled out and uncomfortable. The final employee was particularly rude and suggested we could tie "it" to a tree if we wanted to eat there. Referring to our dog as "it" and suggesting we leave her tied outside was shocking and unnecessary. Rather than continue feeling unwelcome, we decided to order a pizza to go. We had planned to stay for drinks, appetizers, and dinner, but instead we ate in our car. The prosciutto pizza was decent, but it was much saltier than we expected. At that point, we were just hungry and wanted to leave. What was most disappointing wasn't the dog policy itself--businesses are absolutely entitled to set their own policies. It was the inconsistent communication and the way we were treated after being told it was okay to stay. Instead, the experience left us feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Once again, forgive me for not having a pic. Was in town recently on a business trip and swung by there one night for dinner. Sat at the bar, watched the World Cup, and had a really nice pizza. Ordered the Garden of the God's pizza. Thin crust was perfect. Thanks gang. read more

We have been here so many times, I'm not sure why it has taken me this long to write a review. We went on a weeknight a couple of weeks ago, and the downstairs seating area was fairly quiet (I think a lot of people opt to sit upstairs in the open deck area). We waited to be seated, and were told to pick any table, so we picked one and sat down. Our server was great - she took our drink order (beers of course, they have a great selection), and was back with them fairly quickly. We started with the pretzel, which comes with mustard, and we added the cheese sauce (delicious). Then we opted to create our own pizzas this time (normally we order one of their creations - they're all good) - but I'm glad we went the create your own option - they were both delicious! We will for sure be back again next time we are in town! read more

Place was relatively empty and service was very slow. Ordered the bbq chicken pizza and couldn't even taste the barbecue sauce. Super greasy. May have been one of the worst pizzas we have ever eaten. Asked for a side of bbq and took at least 10 minutes to get the sauce. Two servers stopped by and we asked for the sauce and it still took 10 minutes. Beer was decent. read more

So happy we tried a pizza this time! It was incredible! Drinks were delish as well. One of our favorite places to come to when we are in town read more

Definitely don't go if expecting a friendly staff and atmosphere, but at least the food was ok. Sad they can't be a little more kind.

I love this place! The building is beautiful, the service is great, the food is delicious and the beers are perfect. This is where I learned I liked Kolsch. They always have fun special cocktails as well. The best pizza is the Guadalupe or Pig and fig and the best salad is the beet and goat!! read more

I've been to this place three times now, and each visit has delivered excellent service. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope for in a mountain setting--cozy, welcoming, and full of character. Everyone you encounter is friendly and seems genuinely happy to be there, which really adds to the overall vibe. The beer is exceptional, with one of the best varieties in town. Whether you're into classic styles or looking for something more adventurous, there's something for everyone on tap. I travel to this area for work, and this spot is always on my list. It's the kind of place you look forward to returning to--not just for the drinks and the atmosphere, but for the consistently great experience. read more

High Alpine Brewing - The Matron - Pizza Near Me - Gunnison, Colorado

To be honest the food is good but overpriced for what you get. $25 for a 12" pizza and $18 for a 6" meatball sub? If you split these two items with another person you will not get full on the portion size. I don't think I will be going back in the future. But hey, if you want to overpay feel free. Limited menu items. Price a little better or increase the portions for REAL people. Go to Subway and Dominos. read more

Pizza was great, nice atmosphere, good beer selection. With one exception, prices were as expected these days. Price for a glass of red wine (which is great with pizza) start at $18. Come on, this is Gunnison, not Aspen. read more

Heard some good things about this half brewery/half woodfired pizza shop in Gunnison and decided to try it on our way back into Denver from a nice weekend at crested Butte. We ordered on the phone and the staff was so nice and helpful, we wanted our pizza split half-and-half, and that was no issue. The ambience is a very mountain vibe, with lots of deep toned, wood and natural light, the restaurant was not busy when I got there, but we just picked up our order to go. As a big wood fired pizza fan, I had higher hopes for this pie than it lived up to be. I decided to try a simple cheese, pizza, but it was a bit dry and overcooked. The other half was the Diavola, which was a bit more yummy as it had cooked onions on top. Still, I wanted a bit more from my experience based off of what I had heard from others about this pizza. Maybe my choice was too simple. Wish we had time to try the freshly brewed beers in house, maybe on our next trip! read more

Nothing bad to say here. We rolled up on a quiet Wednesday afternoon, sat up top on the outdoor patio, and had a friendly staff meet us immediately for drink orders. I had the Bright Cider, Two Towns, nice and not too dry or sweet (aka balanced). He had the Green Gate IPA. We both ordered the mountain brats sandwich with different sides. What I really liked about the brat plate was the mustard - whole grain. Really nice and the mouth feel was cool also. We didn't stay long but this is def a place you could. The atmosphere is laid back, the service is attentive but not too much and the food and drink were great. I've said this before and I'll say it again - shout out to the kitchen staff who are bold with seasoning. Thank you! read more

The service was friendly and attentive and the upstairs patio offers a nice place to sit and enjoy a drink at sunset, but my meal, unfortunately, was a bummer. Buffalo sauce can cover a lot of sins, but, overall, the chicken sandwich left a lot to be desired. I was surprised (in a bad way) to find that it was a sort of room temp shredded/chopped chicken rather than an intact breast and the toppings were equally sad: sweaty, unmelted provolone, barely detectable flakes of soggy potato chip, and arugula that, in theory, sounds like a nice touch but, in practice, was drowned out by the flavor of the sauce. Toast the bun! Grill (or fry) a chicken breast! Top it with crunchy lettuce and fresh veg! These are small things that could take this sandwich from feeling like an afterthought to an entree that satisfies. My boyfriend's pulled pork was slightly better in terms of flavor but, like the chicken sandwich, the preparation fell flat. I'd much rather see a restaurant trim down its menu if that's what it takes to make sure every diner has an excellent experience regardless of what they order, especially in a relatively remote area where pickings are slim. read more

Food is ok not great, service was not. Took an hour and a half to get food for two young kids, the table was not fully set (we had to hunt down plates, silverware, etc. which was bizarrely difficult), the servers and hostess were overwhelmed, the staff were unfamiliar with the menu, staff disappeared for extended stretches, gave us incorrect information about various menu items, and argued with us when we asked for the bill (wouldn't you rather get it later? No! That's why we asked three times!). It's obviously the job of management to staff their place appropriately and yet it was disappointing how unaccommodating and unapologetic the staff were - and by that we are including not just our own server but also the hostess, and other wait staff we hunted down in desperation. Caveat: this was a holiday weekend which might not be representative, although about half the tables were empty. read more

The chicken in the Caesar salad was ice cold, tasteless, unseasoned. Gross. I could not eat it. And it was way over-priced for what was served. If you're looking for a salad with great-tasting protein, this is not it. Discouraged from eating out again after this. read more

I ordered the sausage platter with the pretzel (+$9) and cheese (+$4) which totaled at $31... the plate I received was not the quantity of food the price tag suggests. The kraut is probably the best kraut I've ever had and the pretzel was good, but not worth the price. The pepperoni pizza was also extremely disappointing. read more

We came here last minute based on decent reviews. Not super busy but crowded. Waitress was prompt and attentive. I was shocked at the sausage platter, it was tiny little slices (maybe one brat) for $18! My kids ordered pizza and the pork sandwich, it came almost an hour later and it was cold! Everyone was cranky and hungry, we ended up going to McDonald's drive thru after The manager did comp us 50% of the bill. Still be aware of the ridiculously high prices and mediocre food. read more

Great beer, even better service. Steve is awesome, he runs a great show here. Can't wait to try the food!

Passing through on our way to Grand Junction. Cute pub. Clean and atmosphere was fun. My husband ordered the brat. It was tasty, but lacking in condiments. They were out of stone ground mustard. That's ok... I'll have regular mustard, we don't have that either... ok... how about ketchup... nope sorry. I ordered the brat "shareable" it was maybe half of a brat. Also ordered the beer cheese.. it was cold and wasn't more than a tablespoon at best. Lumpy cold cheese...Again, no condiments. Needless to say it was not very filling. Service was good, very attentive. Buyer beware there is a 4% charge for what??? The waitress wasn't quite sure either but assured us most everyone in town charges it. read more

The ambience was nice. We were greeted right away. The service was wonderful! The food amazing. We ordered the Alpine pizza. Sooooo good.

The crust was underdone and doughy (I prefer a crispy crust) but appreciated the amount of toppings and overall tasted as a pizza should. read more

Salad wasn't fresh and was unappetizing. I couldn't eat it. hope the kitchen takes more care, because the place has potential.

It's the only brewery in Gunnison. Their beers are really good. At least their IPAs and Lagers. We didn't try their pizza, but their other food was good. Service and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. read more

The food was delicious, and the drinks were fun! Kiiiinda pricey.... but it was a fun stop for our alumni weekend kickoff!

We're still traveling, Mother's Day 2023. We found High Alpine Brewing on Yelp and stopped for the best meal. We were greeted warmly. Service was attentive. Beer and cocktails were EXCELLENT! I got the smoked Cherry old fashion and it was delicious. Started with the sausage platter with pretzel and cheese dip. Every element was stellar from the sausages and sauerkraut to the made in house mustard and cheese sauce to the pretzel were just yummy. Had the Pig and Fig pizza, soooo good. Then John the head brewer stopped by to chat and it is obvious he takes pride in his craft. I tried a chocolate raspberry Porter and it was delicious. If you are in the area and want some tasty food in a fun atmosphere with great service, get here. read more

Really great reuse of what looks like a historic building right in the center of town. Beer was very good and they offer a range to please everyone. Pizza is their speciality and lived up to it; the brat was also unusually delicious. Service was the only issue. Not due to lack of effort or any issue with individuals: the waiters and bussers were working so hard, it was exhausting to watch. And they somehow kept it together. But it was 25 minutes from being seated by the host to introduction/drink order from a server, and I'm pretty sure we only got attention even then because another table had seen my attempts to get noticed. Food took a while to get as well. I overheard mention of being short staffed...if that's the case, don't fill every table, seat only what can be managed. read more

Overdue review from our visit to Gunnison in early September 2021. We ate at High Alpine twice during the week. Our first night, we sat on the outdoor patio area upstairs. Relaxing vibe with a nice view of downtown. I had the bratwurst sandwich with a side salad. As a Wisconsin native, I'm snobby about my bratwursts and this one didn't disappoint. Very legit. Salad was good too. I ate mine pretty fast too--but did snap a pic (see below) so that's covered Stacie (see earlier review). Our second visit was specifically to try the pizzas. They were excellent. If I'm back in Gunnison again, I'd stop here for pizza for sure. Enjoyed the beer as well. Only downside was pretty slow service on both visits, but we understood the labor shortage issue was impacting everyone so we didn't get worked up about it. Also, it's Colorado--there's a vibe there that doesn't match well with generally uptight people--as can be seen in some reviews below. Hope to get back to Gunnison again and looking forward to enjoying more High Alpine Brewing pizza and beer. read more

This dining experience was terrible. Pro, Hostess was very nice and beer was cold and good. Cons, service was very slow. Ordered BBQ pork Sandwich and house salad. When the sandwich came out it was not good. Pork was dry and hard like jerky. Server took it back and brought new order, it was drowning in sauce that I had to eat with a fork. Nothing like a real BBQ sandwich. Server came to give me bill and told her this was not good. She started off and stated the first way is the way we serve it here. Then told me that they were not a BBQ place. I suggested that they take it off the menu if not going to serve a proper BBQ Pork Sandwich. That's when I paid and got the eye roll. Did tell her it wasn't her fault. Still rude. read more
