Nitro Pub Ale
Arthur H.

Friendly little brew pub and coffee shop. Good variety of brews from porters , lagers, and sours. The nitro pub ale was excellently smooth.

IPA and Porter

Beer was great! Service was eh. Disappointed they do not offer taster flights. 8 beers on tap and we really wanted to try them all. The guy behind the bar really didn't seem to care if we ordered or left. Funky, free-spirit hippie kinda vibe. Decent pizza next door.

Such a fun, chill place. Super friendly service, small town feel where everyone seems to know each other. Grabbed a veggie breakfast burrito from the coffee shop inside and then tried the Everything's Round and fantastic Cloudy with a chance of rainbows beers. Don't pass this place up on your way to Nederland!

My favorite go-to place in the Rollinsvillle/Nederland area. Friendly staff, beautiful space and delicious beer. Zack and Melissa are the most amazing humans alive! The spooktacular decorations for Halloween are on point!

Great beer, friendly staff and even friendlier dogs. Live music was a highlight as well.

I have many friends in Boulder and nearby who have told me for years that this is the very best…read moremeal they have had in Nederland. I have hardly ever eaten in town as we are usually just passing through to other locations in western Boulder County and adjacent counties, like Gilpin. We had a house guest who was interested to see the mountain ride along the Peak to Peak Highway this weekend, so we did the ride and then on the way back to Boulder, stopped here for lunch. So did apparently most of the people out on a beautiful Saturday. It was mobbed, both inside and out, and the wait list was 20 minutes for inside and 45 for outside. We put our name on the list for "first available" which turned to be inside, and at 25 minutes, close enough. That was fine for me, as the weather was changing outside. Inside was clean and moderately noisy but not obtrusively so. Outside had traffic noise and people waiting to be called, some with multiple dogs on leash, milling around. There is a prominent sign stating that only service dogs are allowed in. Their pizzas are small enough to be considered as an individual serving. We are not all big eaters, especially at lunch, so we ordered two for the three of us and even so, had a few pieces to take home for leftovers use. We ordered the Margherita and the Mama Suprema and everyone got enough to have some of each if they chose to. We had non-alcoholic drinks this time but their bar menu was very tempting with both beers and ciders on tap. I had only Margherita slices. The marinara was classic family recipe, the mozzarella was in small balls and the fresh basil leaves were prominent. The dough was Italian family recipe style, with wood fired char in appropriate amounts. This is not NYC style which has a stiffer bake and much more char. I do love both. The Mama Suprema had marinara sauce, with sausage, green peppers, red onion, mozzarella, and fresh garlic. The two that ate it said it was a great combo with a little kick but not hot and spicy. Our drinks were fine, an Arnold Palmer, a local root beer on tap and my sparkling water, which was an entire 16 oz bottle. I never had to ask for a refill. Our server was quick, friendly, with an efficiently positive demeanor and we really enjoyed the meal. The place was very clean and family friendly as a neighbor table had two small children enjoying themselves and sitting on boosters, nicely provided by the restaurant. The line went out the door until we were ready to leave, when most customers had finally been able to be seated. Plan ahead and be relaxed, because this is apparently what Saturday lunch looks like during the busier parts of the year. It was well worth it, prices were standard and everything was served on actual dishes, including the pizza. Often places will serve with the metal pan from the oven which is awkward on a table with multiple pizzas.

Line wrapped around the corner. Everyone waiting said it was the best spot in town. After a little…read morewait, we snagged a table. Luckily, two tops seemed pretty readily available. I want to say it was busy for sure but because it's pizza, there is no actual urgency. The pizzas take as long as they take so give yourself plenty of time. A few things I'd like to take a moment to point out. A.) Pizza needed to be cooked longer. I would have preferred them to cook it so that the cheese all melted. It's not really appetizing when it's not. Maybe another min or two could help but I'm guessing with them being as busy as they were, they may have pulled them early. B.) plates could have been cleaner. Server also asked us more than once if we needed anything else, and I did ask for a glass with ice so I can add it to our warm water that was on the table when we arrived, and I also asked for a straw and never received either. Pretty disappointed in the service. Nice enough young lady but don't ask me if I need anything and then never do it. Twice. It could have been cleaner across the board. Lots of flies and gnats flying around. I waited tables for decades and I always hustled. Clearing, cleaning, greeting a table so you know someone is coming even if you can't take their order yet. I think maybe just the small town and laid back lifestyle could explain it all. On the plus side, I am excited about reheating the pizza for lunch today because it was a little under, it will cook nicely today.

What a lovely and welcoming place. Loved this bar when we visited Estes Park.. We were visiting…read morefrom England (and like all English people , we love a good pub). Rock Cut was our go to. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the beer was great (Galactic IPA for the Boyf and Canyon Crusher for me). We will be back.

The beer was so nice I ordered the same one twice!…read more I put in 20 miles hiking Rocky Mountain National Park in a day a half. I slept about 4 hours the night before to make it early for sunrise. To say that a few tasty beers were what the doctor ordered would be the understatement of the century! None of this matters, of course, to the good folks at Rocky Cut Brewing Company. This is off the main drag of Estes in an unassuming strip plaza. Humble vibes inside, a simple U-shaped bar top with seating all around, a few smaller tables, a community table, and a large patio with mostly picnic table seating. If you're lucky, snag a stool right along the Big Thompson River! Though, I recommend they fix the wooden placeholders for beers, they're leaning on the wrong side of history, we don't want any full glasses of beer reaching an unnecessary demise! Interference IPA * American IPA * 6.7% * 16oz ($7) From their website: "Climbing the Interference Boulder in Rocky Mountain National Park requires strength and power. This Colorado IPA showcases the power of hops with an intense blend forging citrus aromas with a pine forward finish. Featured ingredients: Cascade, El Dorado, Mosaic, Chinook, & Simcoe hops * Recommended adventure: hiking Black Lake, climbing the Twin Owls, skiing upper Hidden Valley." A perfectly apt description. I would summarize this beer just as they did, focusing on hops, citrus, and pine. Absolutely delicious, a memorable IPA in recent memory. I liked it so much I ordered it again and it tasted just as delicious the second time down! They also had a food truck outside, so safe to assume they do this often. Would love to try more of their beers during my next visit. Rock Cut, I see you!
