May 2021 - OUTDOOR - during covid social distancing: Very nice quality outdoor seating and an overall classy comfortable feeling environment. Great service (also all of the servers wore masks). Large selection of beers, 3 wines and small menu. Cocos Nachos were excellent. $14 The Lemony Orzo Salad was nice. $6 Rueben Panini was pretty good (I'm a Rueben lover and theirs was ok, not awesome). $14. Bishop's Peak Pinot Noir wine was nice. per glass $9. Heretic Make America Juicy Again - an IPA from Fairfield, Ca was very nice. 16oz $6.50 I highly recommend and am glad the Lost Dutchman Tap Room, after a year of heavy duty covid restrictions is back in operation. Thanks Lost Dutchman. read more

Great selection, staff is pretty awesome and the bar food is on point . Love the patio too!

Good atmosphere. Friendly Bar tenders. Very relaxed setting, my wife and I prefer the spacious patio with a variety of seating areas. They have a great rotating beer selection with a variety of hard seltzers. They have a delicious menu of pub food. We prefer the soft pretzels and the sausages plate. Plenty of parking. read more

We haven't been to tap room in a while. But go often to Wine time and Strong water. We had such great beers and food . I love sour beer and dark beer , so was thrilled with their on tap selection. The staff was excellent and food was great . After enjoying our meal outside on patio, we went to Strong water for after dinner cocktail. The 2 gals working behind bar were excellent. So GLAD to have these 2 great bartenders there . Yipeee! Its been a min since i have found someone who can make a craft cocktail and not just a drink! So was so happy ! I will be back more often because of these 2 great bartenders and their wonderful craft cocktail making ability. After getting our cocktails , we headed to the secret cigar bar outside. So lovely. Just a perfect evening . All you need is right there ! Can't wait to go again! read more

Came back after a bit of time not coming down!! Still as good as it was before. The food is T half bad either! Great mix of beers. Come and try it!! read more

My husband and I stopped by Chico to visit my sister in law and she enthusiastically recommended we go to the Lost Dutchman Taproom. We sat outside in the new beer garden, which is dog friendly! My husband who is all about beer loved every single flight taster. I on the other hand am more of a cocktail lady, but I will say I enjoyed their beer flight especially the Out of Bounds Raspberry Sour taster. For food we had cocos nachos and the pretzel with beer cheese. Both were delicious and definitely shareable, we almost ordered a second plate of nachos! I am going to also throw a shoutout to Ana (our server at the Dutchmen) she was friendly, beer knowledgeable, and on point. Right next door is a speakeasy style cocktail lounge, Strong Water, which also did not disappoint. The Dutchmen shares the outdoor space with Strong Water so you are able to order cocktails as well which is nice! Some of the best cocktails i've ever had. We stayed till closing! We will definitely be coming back when we visit. read more

I like this taproom a lot. The location is a little hidden but they have a lot of parking available. The decor here is fairly standard but it was super clean and cozy. I also noticed that they had quite a few board games available to play with which is soo exciting consistently some places have none or like not the fun ones. I do wish those games had a nice shelf or something to sit on. I came in late to grab a drink with a friend and they ppl working there were super friendly even though it was close to closing. This place was super chill and since it is a ways from central dow town it's pretty hole in the wall like esque. I liked the variety of drinks that they had on tap. Esp. Some of that booch.. I havent gone often enough to see how often they rotate and how they switch it up but I was happy with the selection. The employees are super friendly and make it very welcoming esp. allison. I think they have a good combo of stuff going on here and I'm excited to come back. read more

Great place with a great space and nice people. The beer selection didn't wow me, but their dog friendliness did. read more

Lost Dutchman Taproom - Outside patio was empty and dog friendly - Pubs Near Me - Chico, California

I went here on a date night and they had a great selection of not only beers but ciders, and their bar food was soo good! Also the service great, good music, it was a great Taproom! read more

Good beer selection and a beautiful outdoor seating area. The ambiance was great. The only negative surprise was the fact that they no longer the tacos shown on the menus posted to yelp. I'm all for rotating menus, but I prefer to save my carbs for good beer, and the current food menu is entirely carb-heavy options. I ended up getting chipotle chicken nachos and just eating the chicken and beans off the chips. Tasty (but would be amazing in a taco!) read more

This is a great hidden secret! I really enjoyed the ambiance and the interior design of this place. Incredible delicious choices of beers on tap! Took a short walk to enjoy the outside patio which is extensive and great for a large group :-) I highly recommend visiting this place ! read more

Great service and selection of beers! Chill atmosphere on the spacious, lovely patio. The beer cheese was amazing, and the pretzel it came with was gargantuan! Stayed for dinner and had the chicken pot pie. Thoroughly enjoyed. read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. They have unique beers that you wouldn't find in the stores (and cinders!), bar munchies, and GAMES!! I played mancala while drinking a flight... #goals. The employees are welcoming, friendly, and give attentive service. That being said, they give you your space to drink your beers and socialize with your group. A must try if you are into beers and taprooms! read more

Lost Dutchman Taproom - Flight and calzones. - Pubs Near Me - Chico, California

My Sister and I recently visited this establishment for the first time. We both got flights for $10. It came with 4 beer samplings each. The choices were great as Sierra Nevada was having that Beer Camp thing going on. So many hoppy options! The customer service was great! They were very friendly and informative. Loved it! read more

If you're a craft beer enthusiast and you're in the Chico area (perhaps after a tour of the Sierra Nevada Brewery nearby), the Lost Dutchman Taproom is a place you just HAVE TO visit. Although there aren't an abundance of taps like a lot of bars I'm used to in SoCal, the focus here is on quality, not quantity. Now, let me say this: I don't mean to say that there isn't a lot of quality craft beer out there, however, this place puts some hard to find AND high quality craft beer on tap. For dinner, I went with the Sausage Calzones: two calzones stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella cheese with a side of marinara sauce. Let me say that I've paid a LOT more for lesser flavored and stuffed calzones. Again, the key here is quality over quantity. When you taste just how flavorful the calzone is, you're satisfied with what you're provided on the plate. I loved them. For beer, well, I lost track of everything I had to drink. I remember having a Nitro IPA as well as a few other IPAs, a stout and a saison style ale. I do know that there wasn't one thing I decided not to finish. This place is cozy but not quiet. With all the great beer and great food coming out from the bar and kitchen, there's plenty to discuss at your table. In addition, the bar and wait staff are all really friendly people. read more

We went there yesterday for the second time ever. Good place to try for a beer drinker. Only one of each wine for the rest of us. Very limited food menu. We had the jalapeño poppers and they were excellent. We let our server know we intended to eat dinner, and were just starting out with the poppers...but he never came back...until all our water, wine and beer were gone. We had waited and finally gave up and stacked our napkins on our plates and just waited for the check. We would have stayed for dinner if anyone had actually acknowledged our existence any further. We won't be back. REALLY disappointing service. There are far too many other great places in town to give this a 3rd try. read more

Great atmosphere and a solid bar with a great variety of beer. The Boulder Beer Co, Chocolate Porter was excellent. I do recommend this place and will continue to come back. The bar had a popcorn odor that wrecked my senses as soon as I walked through the door of the bar. I highly recommend getting rid of the popcorn machine. I want to smell my beer. Ordered pretzels and cheese, the cheese was great but it was served with two tiny pretzels. Check out Sierra Nevada's pretzel bread to cheese ratio, they do it right. read more

Great place. Great atmosphere. Great customer service. Great beers on tap, Great food (try the chicken pot pie). Food may run out.

Awesome beer selection, great wine by the glass, yummy snacks, attentive friendly service, cool ambiance. What a great pace, so glad we finally tried it. Chico peeps, you gotta go here! read more

Lost Dutchman Taproom - Stone IPA, Chardonnay & mesquite almonds... delicious! - Pubs Near Me - Chico, California

It's fairly small but fixed up nice. They have a good beer selection and a few food items. We had the mac & cheese and the beef chili. They just opened on Tuesday. The owner was there and the people working seemed nice. Nothing else really on that side of town. I think they maybe had 15 beers on tap or so but the selection was good. read more

I'm giving Lost Dutchman a 4 star rating without having actually had a beer or food there. Why? Because they absolutely helped a lady out tonight. I wandered in after Day 10 of sitting 6-8 hour days with my mom at Enloe, and now assisted living. (She'll be fine...just has to get stronger). All I wanted was a nice, strong imperial or BA stout. When I walked in, the vibe here was absolutely spot on. Really pretty, serene interior. Just enough people, and a nice greeting as I chose a seat at the bar. I looked for a hook under the bar for my purse and one server apologized and said they didn't have them. Then another server came over and showed them to me, then showed them to him and it was pretty frickin' hilarious, actually. Then I started the process of trying to order a stout. They.tried.so.hard to find me a beer. But I was just in the mood for that one perfect beer, and they didn't have it. So when I asked where I might find it, my server(s) asked yet a third guy where I might find one. And then I felt the need to explain my finicky with my sad tale so I didn't seem like such a princess (shhhhh....no commentary here, please). And the woman next to me then told me she totally understood, because she was just finishing the paperwork on her loss of her home in the Camp Fire. So...wow...it's all Cheers up in here and now I wish I was staying. But they steer me to a place that they think will have just what I'm looking for (follow my thread to see how that went LOL). Guys - you all made my night tonight, and like I said, I will definitely be back, and will be bringing the hubby who will happily drink many other beer-styles besides stout (unlike me), because you have earned my business on a night when I'm not such a finicky princess. read more

Thank you, Yelp for another great experience. The hubby and I were looking for a quick drink and bite. Did not disappoint. Hubby had a refreshing local craft brew, Putah Creek DIPA. a definite "do again"- great balance of flavors. Beyond expectations. I had the Schilling Ginger cider, a crisp and fresh drink on such a hot afternoon. We split the Apple, cheddar (hubby said goat cheese) panini with kale salad along with smoked almonds. Expertly done. While dining, the owner came in and was testing a new dessert item. She offered us a decadent brownie cookie bar with hints of expression and coconut shavings on top. Wow, what a rich way to finish our visit. Stop by. You will enjoy the "non sports bar" feel, cleanliness and personable staff. read more

Lost Dutchman Taproom - Schilling ginger cider, Putah Creek DIPA, smoked almonds and apple cheese panini with kale salad. Yummy! - Pubs Near Me - Chico, California

Fun bingo nights - food platters aren't awful, beer is good! Mini patio - if you can get it!

The Lost Dutchman is a hidden gem in Chico, small and cozy. The atmosphere is inviting, the tap selection excellent enough to keep my husband happy, and the snack food divine. We ordered the cheese & pretzels for a small bite. The cheese dip was so good that when we ran out of pretzels we used our fingers to finish off the dip. If you want a more substantial bite they do have a few sandwich options & a steak chili that smelled so yummy. Our bartender was the "cherry on top" of our awesome experience, friendly & informational. We easily could have spent ALL day there. read more

This is our new favorite spot on the north side of town! Love the constant variety of great beers, and the food is fantastic. We can't get enough of the pretzel and beer cheese. Hard to believe, but it actually beats the Brewery's! The chicken pot pie is also to die for. Highly recommend this place! read more

This is a pretty cool little spot. After hearing a lot about it, we finally visited one afternoon for a couple pints. I wish I had taken pictures because the interior is really well done. To be honest, I expected something much more sports-bar-ish (hey, it's Chico) but I was very pleasantly surprised. Just classy enough without having to get dressed up! They had a ton of beers on tap, but I can't remember what I ordered. Something hoppy, I'm sure. The waitress/bartender was very sweet at helpful but not overly attentive where you just want them to leave you alone. I would like to try the Lost Dutchman again with a bigger crowd in the back room. I am curious if you can rent the space because that would be fun! It's curtained off, but I think it would limit bathroom access for other patrons. It'd be a great spot for a birthday or shower! Will be visiting again and hopefully trying the food! ...maybe if this place is successful enough the owner will consider expanding to Paradise! Probably not...but a girl can dream! read more

Another good spot on the north end of Chico with a great selection of beer & cider. They offer a few small bites, which clearly are a great effort considering I don't think they have a full chefs kitchen of any kind. I appreciated being able to have a yummy roast beef panini with a kale salad. Kale salad could be improved on. Service was great, they dimmed the lights and turned up the music just as we were walking in which set the mood. I'm interested to see what type of events the will have on there outdoor space. Over all it's a cool place to grab a great beer on this side of town, we will definitely be back. read more

Lost Dutchman Taproom - RB Panini : cherry peppers, horseradish sun dried tomato aoli, side of kale salad* or chips. Beers: Hells lager, Founders Azacca - Pubs Near Me - Chico, California

Great beer choices but I'm concerned about one thing in particular............. 10 ounce pours on beers that don't have high alcohol content (I.e. Double IPA's). Most Pilsner and IPA's with upwards of 7% alcohol, are usually always served in a pint glass (16 oz pour). I have had beers all over the U.S. and a 10 ounce pour on a 6.8% IPA is absolutely ridiculous. I hope this place gets with the times. They need to see how places like Bend Oregon serve their multitude of beers. I have no problem paying the typical $6.00 for a good micro brew......... when it is a 16 ounce pour, not 10 ounces........ the only exception would be for a super high alcohol beverage above 8% alcohol. read more

Nice new taproom. Attentive service. Nice selection. They also offer "something to nibble on..". Looks like they have wifi... plus a TV with sportsl on. I'd like to see more beers served in 16oz, though. I'm sure we'll return. read more

Stopped by on a whim. Ordered food and a couple pours from the beard. Sprightly conversation ensued. Between us, which it would have anyway. Food was delivered, and it was good. But no one bothered to see if we wanted another beverage. We did want a second beer. But we watched two of the three waitdudes serving a dozen tastes to a table of two friends, standing around yukking it up with them, and a second boss-seeming ginger beard coming in, looking around, leaving with cordial tidings to the friends, who did manage to order a couple beers, and no one made eye contact with us, who really were sitting where you had to try not to see us. Beard #1 was in and out, mostly not seeming to do much of anything. We like Wine Time. We like the Taproom. We'll go back to both. Just tell me whether the efficacious term of address at the Taproom is not "Garçon!" Or "Hey, over here!" But "Yo, Asshole!" read more

Great variety of beer and whatnot. Excellent food (we all had the chicken pot pie) it was probably the best I've ever had. Wonderful atmosphere, great bartenders and really nice clientele. I will definitely go back. read more

I love the cool atmosphere in this place. The staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about beer in general & especially all of the beer they carry. perfect place to come for a chill night with friends. They have games to play & are always popping fresh popcorn. Fun hidden gem in Chico! read more

This place is awesome!!! Wonderful ambiance, good music, mixed crowd, and truly the best bartenders in town. Christian and David are super kind, attentive, and fun! The beers selection is unbelievable! Lots of variety. Super stoked about this place! read more

If you like a wide variety of beer and relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for you. The staff are knowledgeable about beer,friendly, and it's usually easy to find parking. I took one star off based on the available food options, but if that's not something you plan on testing while there, consider this a five star review. It's not bad, it's just Chico bar food standard fare. Not exciting or fresh tasting but if you need a pretzel to fill you up, they can absolutely pull it off. read more

Super classy place! I love the option of doing a flight which is really the best bang for your buck. The food is also amazing and perfectly sized for a light dinner for two! Mellow and beautiful interior! Can't wait to go on a night with an event! read more

Great customer service & beer! Like the vibe inside & love that it's not in downtown.

First time we had been there and we LOVED it! Great atmosphere....small and very nice. Great service, great food, good selection of beers. Bartenders are very friendly. This will be our new place to go on Friday/Saturday nights. read more

I can't tell you how excited we are the have The Lost Dutchman Taproom open on our neighborhood! We were there last night with a big group of friends and had an excellent time! Staff was extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The location is gorgeous- well decorated and set-up comfortably. The beer selection was fantastic with many rare and unique brews, but go-to staples like our hometown Pale Ale in stock, too. We are big fans of the neighboring Wine Time, but I think The Lost Dutchman will be a new favorite with us. read more

We had a wonderful time! We had a rather larger group, but they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday evening. We sat around the bar at the bar top tables and enjoyed the variety of beers they had on tap. Being obnoxious beer snobs, we completely appreciated the variety of beers they had on tap. The staff was also very attentive and knowledgeable. We had some appetizers that were taster, but the beer selection was our main reason for visiting read more

If you like beer you have to go! Best selection always have a sour or two or three which is hard to come by. Always switching out the taps. Beer tenders are always super chill out door mini patio to bring the pup. Have not tried much food but the beer cheese is the best in town (better than Sierra Nevadas just sayin). Pretty views of the parking lot which sounds silly ... but there are trees and plants and I enjoy the little things ! read more
