Highside Brewing was lackluster per my experience. Service and food were both underwhelming. Service was slow and unenthusiastic. Food was plain... meat was dry... I really felt like the food we received could be replicated by some college guys in their dorm. The one silver lining was their beer. I wouldn't come again. ‍ read more

We absolutely adore this place! Have been here a dozen times with the pup for happy hour drinks and yummy flat breads and fries! You can play games, hang after skiing, and most importantly bring your pup! Love the beers they are excellent. And you can tell the people who work there truly care about the business. Love it love it! read more

Highside Brewing - Just hanging with our pup! - Breweries Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

4.5/5 stars, our food was ready surprisingly quickly and was delicious. We arrived around 4 pm after a day on the slopes and this was the perfect amount of food. There is a fun atmosphere and I bet during peak hours, it's quite busy. Would be a fun place to return to and hang out upstairs by the barcade. read more

Highside Brewing has a new location in Fairplay, and it is dog friendly and great! They have a large inside and outside space and convenient parking. The outside space has beautiful views south and west. Inside is a pool table and pin ball machines. The beer is very, very good. I am a fan of the Colorado blonde beers; Ska True Blonde, TrVe Skullseeker Blonde, and now Frisco Gold. This blonde is light and flavorful and perfect. Highside Brewing will continue to be a place I visit when I am in Fairplay. read more

Stopped in here with a friend on the way back to Denver after a backpacking trip. Our main concern was finding outdoor seating; another place up the street had a long wait and was a bit more cramped, so we were happy to discover that the Highside had outdoor seating immediately available and that their tables were adequately spaced. Luckily for us we were under the overhang, so when it started to rain, we didn't have to move! We were approached by a server right after snagging our seats, but I needed a minute to look over the digital menu before making a selection. Once I had, it took a while to flag her down again. She was just clearly busy. I ended up going with the Calm the Farm Down and a Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich, and my friend opted for the CO Strong Pale Ale with the Brisket Sandwich. They accidentally switched our orders, so my first sip was of the Pale Ale and I thought, well that is quite an odd tasting Farmhouse! We did a quick "are you okay with drinking from this glass I just drank from" and were cautious to drink from the opposite side.. you can't be too careful right now with this COVID business. I wasn't feeling very hungry upon arrival (sometimes when I exert myself, it does the opposite to my appetite than you would guess), but as soon as I smelled the food and took my first bite, it was exactly what I wanted in that moment. Deliciously juicy pork with the perfect slaw, that despite having jalapeños was not spicy, and an ample side of potato salad. I managed to eat the entire thing and had a satisfied tummy. Parking is available in the lot behind the building or on the street. I can't comment on the inside as did not enter, but my friend took a quick bathroom break and did not mention anything was off. Service was friendly, if a bit slow, but we were in no rush as were trying to let some of the I-70 traffic die down before getting back on the road. Would definitely stop by again if in the area. read more

Beers were great. I had a Hazy that I really liked and my sister had the ginger sour that was good. Food was okay. We had the barbeque nachos with added brisket and the Al pastor tacos. The nachos could have used more brisket considering we paid extra for it. read more

We have been coming to Frisco for years and have seen this property go through many changes. The current incarnation is the best. The down-stairs is dog-friendly bordering on dog-required. The upstairs has a full bar and is dog-free. We're not really pet people so we opted for upstairs which proved to be lucky for the double-rainbow we treated to at the end of the meal. I have been to many many brewpubs in my life and the beer at Highside blew me away. Apparently they got a new brewmaster not to long ago and he is killing it. Both beers I had were Belgian influenced. The Belgian Blonde was one of the best ales I have ever had. It was light in color and body which really allowed the flavors from the Belgian yeast to shine through. The Belgian IPA was very good as well. The food is a notch or two above the pub-grub I was expecting. The ribs I had were most delicious. read more

Restaurant was less than half full and took over an hour to get food and only half of what was ordered came out and was all cold. Had to ask for silverware, sauce for bbq, etc. read more

Was surprised it wasn't too busy to find seating for our family of 12. We were at separate tables, but close enough with the outdoor seating. The tables had fire tops and as soon as we set down, the propane ran out. The owner ran right out to get more propane and got us warmed up in short order. The beer was very good and the food was GREAT! The hot links, and meat candy were yummy and the brisket was amazing. read more

Their dunkel, coffee flavored beer, is excellent! Offers tastings before committing to a beer even during Covid. Big space indoors and outdoors so social distancing is easy. Beers on tap, food is decent. Got their pastrami sandwich - loads of meat! Their dip was great but it tasted better with the carrots and celery than the crackers. They just use Ritz crackers. So when I order again I'll ask to substitute the crackers for more vegetables. read more

beer quality: 5 stars staff: 5 stars atmosphere: 5 stars We went on a Friday, late after after a hike in Dillion. The bar tender let us try a few different beers (including the Frisco Chile, spicy people you'll enjoy) before we settled on a few. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the patio while sipping on these beers. You can easily park in the parking lot in front of the bar. The bar was clean as well as the restrooms. The bartenders were extremely accommodating and allowed us to taste any beer we wanted before purchasing. Also, they're part of the Craft Tapped bars if you subscribe to that! Would highly recommend after biking or hiking. read more

I love this place. Dog friendly inside and out. Try their lemon lime soda with a blonde beer, so awesome for summer! The tacos are great as is the service. read more

My family of five ate lunch here yesterday afternoon. We ordered the smoked chicken legs on the appetizer menu and some chips an queso. All five of us have been sick with food poisoning for the past 24 hours. The service was terrible as well. Ever again. Never ever ever again. read more

We went to Highside in Frisco. Loved the atmosphere, so many people had their well behaved, beautiful dogs, good live music, nice beer variety. We all ordered brisket. Mine had more fat than I like. There was no issue getting pulled pork instead and it was fantastic. The sides are large enough to share for 2. read more

Highside Brewing is fantastic! We stopped in for a beer and a snack and everything was so.darn.good. The pink lemonade sour beer and brisket tacos were exactly what we needed. Friendliest service and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back. read more

Friendly staff great varieties of brew selection all created on site. Also a nice food menu.

What a great little hidden gem in Frisco! And by that, I mean it's literally kind of hidden, tucked away off of the main street. I've driven up to Frisco a bunch of times for lunch and wouldn't have known it was there if I hadn't specifically looked up a barbecue place on Yelp (my mom had a craving). Our server was great, they have a nice sunny patio where we could sit outside with our pups, and my mom and I were both SO positively surprised by how good the food was. We both ordered the pulled pork sandwich and absolutely devoured them both...such delicious smokey meat, crisp spicy coleslaw, and good traditional bbq sides. Will be keeping this one on the list for my next trip to town! read more

You have to figure everything out on your own! There was a sign that said, "Sit wherever you like." All of the tables were dirty. We had to figure out where the menus were. We had to figure out how to order food by standing in line at the end of the bar. The establishment on their website claims how world famous the barbecue is... But it turns out it's just a bar that serves underwhelming food. We ordered the sliced brisket for $12.99. The portions came on small metal trays the size normally associated with a children's menu. The meat was very dry and chewy. We also ordered coleslaw that tasted like 2 Day old sliced cabbage with a dull bland flavored white dressing. I'm all for service dogs being allowed with owners. This food establishment allows all dogs regardless of training or grooming. To wrap things up, I paid $45 dollars at premier prices for what was basically less quality than a fast food unhappy meal. read more

Went to this spot right after a nice kayak tour...safe to say it was a pleasant surprise. The nachos WITH brisket are a must! The brisket will cost you a little extra but it is absolutely worth it. I ended up ordering the brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw. They do brisket right here! Brisket can be kind of a gamble, but it was sooo tender and juicy. I swapped half of my sandwich for my buddy's pulled pork sandwich and you can't go wrong with that either. The sandwich isn't the prettiest, but it tastes good. The coleslaw was such a pleasant surprise...jalapeño garlic flavored! Not your typical sweet coleslaw so keep that in mind if you get it as a side or a sandwich. The beer selection was great as well. Wonderful stouts! read more

We can here after skiing, and the beer was good... BUT the food was TERRIBLE. Don't spend 13 dollars and give me half ounce of meat with no cheese on my tacos... my girlfriends Salad didn't come with dressing and I could have made it in my sleep. So disappointed. EVEN the bartender told us while ordering the food wasn't good. That really tells you something! If you want just a beer, it's great, but DO NOT order food from here. I have great hopes for this place! And just hope they can get the food right. read more

I stopped by for a beer and appetizer. I ordered the pretzel knots that were $10 and a beer. The beer was good but the pretzel knots were absolutely tasteless. The bottoms were burnt and pretty much tasted like bland bread. Had no resemblance to pretzels. Nearly $20 for plain. Won't be back. read more

Great beer and great food upstairs. live music was good before the concert next door.

Place was empty and the staff was non attentive. We left before the experience worsened. read more

Would be zero stars....but have to click 1 Horrible service. Ordered beers along with our food. Proceeded to wait for bartender to take 3 more customers' order and pour their beers when I had to ask the second bartender to pour ours. Food came out approx 20 mins apart. We ordered two flatbreads and 2 salads. Had to remind them about the second order (the second pizza and salad) Not too hard... read more

tough and expensive brisket sandwich on a bad tasteless bun. the only reason we went to highside was for the Sunday Ticket but the manager with the "mirror sunglasses turned off the game and put on Red Zine which we could watch anywhere. Having grown up in Frisco and raised my family here, it is just such a bummer when people who recently moved here try to be "cool" and wrongly think that makes them seem more like a local. FYI, it does not make them local at all.... read more

Let's be honest - all though Colorado may be the best state in the country, it is absolutely not the food state... With this being said, Highside Brewing is some of the best BBQ I think I've had in not only the Mountain West, but even smokes most places in the Midwest. The brisket is terrific and it what gives this place a 5 over a 4, is the bun they serve it on is also great. Nothing worse than great meat ruined by a cheap bun. Again, by far the best BBQ (maybe even food in general) I've had in Colorado this far. Brisket sandwich, beer cheese soup, and a red ale all just $28... not bad for a resort town. read more

We were greeted at the door by a super cute girl who gave us a brief lay of the place. We chose casual dining upstairs. The food was ok especially the Chili was yum. Their coffee pot was broken. We didn't quit understand the whole serve yourself program. If I wanted counter order and pick-up I could have gone to Wendy's. Staff was pleasant. read more

We enjoyed our first visit tonight, but our dinners - tri-tip tacos and pulled pork sandwich - we're served cold. Our son's hot dog and baked beans were warm, but we had asked for mac-n-cheese for his side, not the baked beans. Overall the beers were good. We didn't like one, and it was exchanged for another. We really appreciated the dog-friendly location while visiting g Frisco! read more

Great atmosphere and awesome employees! They made the experience very enjoyable and were super personable! Highly recommend! The bbq is very good! read more

Beer was fine. The BBQ food truck was atrocious. Spent 40.00 on two brisket sandwiches and a side. The beef was inedible-all fat and gristle. Have a pint but definitely eat elsewhere. read more

We stopped by for drinks this past Thursday afternoon. There was a good crowd inside when we arrived. No wait staff (that I could see) and a sign that said place orders at the bar. The problem was that the bar was totally full of people sitting on stools and we could not find a place to put in our order. When we were able to catch the bartender's eye (behind two guys sitting on top of a table butted against the end of the bar) I ordered a flight and my companions each ordered a pint. The beer was good. I especially liked the one with pepper. I loved that they allowed dogs and it looked like a fun place to hang out. They served food but I never did see a food menu anywhere. What I saw being taken out to tables looked good. read more

Came when the power was out around town. They didn't have food but offered us free beer to make up for the incident. Very sweet of them! Will definitely come back to try the food. read more

Always drove past this brewery since it's on a very visible corner, but never stopped in until a recent trip to Frisco where we stayed within walking distance. We ordered their hazy IPA but can't recall the exact name. Not the best, but pretty good. The place was packed with large groups celebrating, kids, and plenty of dogs on a Friday night. We had a very competitive game of foosball with our friends, which made it all the more fun. read more

Definitely a five star place! They allow dogs inside (please don't bring noisy dogs!) Got a BBQ chicken flatbread, a flight of six beers. Their American Pale Lager is probably the most regular hipster beer I've tasted in a while. I love it. My uncle can drink this and my friends who's store manager at his vape shop. The flatbread was great, lots of flavor and decent dough. Bartender was attentive to us, very knowledgeable about their beer selection. Great place for friends, I saw a few babies too! read more

Great Brewery! Enjoying my beer and the Smoked Turkey sandwich. Need to come back for the BBQ! Great views for today's event and fast service! Must return! read more

The location, beer, and brewery are all good. We had an issue that was not handled right. We ordered a flat bread pizza and after 40+ minutes we let them know it had not been delivered. Then they waited 10 minutes to ask us what our order was. And then it took another 15 minutes for it to be delivered. When it was finally delivered, all we got was a "sorry about the wait" as the server dropped and ran away. This is a very competitive market for dining. They need to get their act together. read more

Great beer and a comfortable spot. Always a mandatory stop when I'm in Frisco. Our bartenders Dave and Brett were on top of things the entire visit. Kurt the manager stopped by to check on us. Excellent experience. read more

Beer is great food was wonderful with the slight smoke on all the tacos...eat here it's worth it

Hands down one of the best locally owned breweries in Summit County. Great beer selections from Pale Ales, Red, Pilsners, IPA's and a Porter. Great location right off HWY 9 for a tourist driving through Frisco or a local to ride their bike after work. You can stop for a beer, or two, and stay for a bite to eat or even live music. Refreshing to have a good all around great brewery with very friendly staff in Summit County. read more
