Had a really tasty cheeseburger to go and another time a delicious cheesesteak. It's a real bar, but has good food.

Solid local spot here in Georgetown. Good food, good vibes, and they're open late (until 1am), which is clutch up here. It's your classic mountain dive bar nothing fancy, but that's the charm. Everyone kind of minds their own business, and the staff and customers are all really nice. If you're looking for a laid-back, no-frills place to grab a drink or bite, this is it. read more

Mountain dive bar right on the creek. Super low key so do not expect something fancy. Great place for locals. Seems their menu, which is small, is different each day depending on what they have. Chicken wings, ehh they were cooked for sure tho. Bartender was super sweet and accommodating. Definitely worth checking out and taking a break from 70. read more

Huge thanks to Taylor for being so welcoming, fun, and kind! Great drinks, food, and service. We will be back.

Best dive bar west of the Mississippi, good drinks good food and friendly staff. Definitely a must stop read more

A hidden gem! Great music choice. Transports you to a nicer time in the world. The bartender Morgan was super kind , working hard and after the flat top in the kitchen had to be closed early due to some broken glass she handled it very well. While the chicken tenders and fries slapped, We will have to come back for the Taco Tuesdays for sureeeee read more

Fun beer joint, friendly service, great selection of COLD beer. They have a gorgeous waterfront deck, so peaceful and relaxing to hear the water rushing under you. The water is super clear you can see the fish, we had a good time watching the fish swim by. read more

Great little dive bar! Taylor was amazing, very attentive and didn't miss a beat. Quite the crowd on a Friday afternoon and she rocked it.

The good: Staff is always accommodating and friendly; smash burger is the best ever experienced (not over/under seasoned; not over-"smashed", grilled onions on point); ); thick bacon on point! ; bathrooms clean/smell good; prices on point with drinks and food, reasonable and on the mark; dill pickle shots = WOW! The average: Could realign the dining floor (extra 2x tables on the left side to max. the lower table space); reseal/reseat the doors/windows to retain R-value on business costs (does not affect comfort of building; very comfortable); with smash burger, would expand cheese option (beyond Amer cheese, offer swiss, pep jack, and cheddar); throw some tots into the side option (fries on point, just minor expands side to burger; see what happens) The bad: None read more

I recently visited Georgetown, CO from New York, and stumbled into Mother's Saloon -- and WOW, I'm so glad I did. The bartender, Taylor, was hands down one of the best I've ever encountered. She was energetic, welcoming, and somehow managed to make everyone feel like they were the most important person at the bar -- all while keeping drinks flowing at top speed and total efficiency. Taylor has a commanding presence, but in the best way -- she clearly knows what she's doing, and it shows. She's the kind of bartender who can hold the room, keep the vibe high, and also tell you exactly what to try. Behind the scenes, she's also seems like one of the most organized, people (and I know a lot of folks in hospitality). Trust me -- your bar is lucky to have her. read more

Came in on Thanksgiving and had one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The woman with tattoos behind the bar kept drinking while she was working, and multiple times she disappeared to the back, leaving the entire bar with no bartender at all. At one point we were ready to close our tab, and there was literally no one to be found. It was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and honestly pretty shocking to see staff drinking more than the customers. Definitely not the experience we expected on a holiday. read more

Had the best Philly cheese steak of my life here. Great service. If you are looking for somewhere off the side of the road to stop for some good food go here. read more

Great food! Great priced drinks! Incredible and welcoming service from Taylor, always!

Smash burgers amazing crunch (toasted bun) and loved the pickles. Not to mention the fries nice and crispy. Beer crisp and cold as well.

Margaret was a fantastic bartender, who kept up with a full restaurant as the only server. The food was as you would expect from a dive bar. No complaints to be had. I was concerned reading the poor yelp reviews, but I would most certainly return. read more

Good selection of food and drinks. Someone mentioned needing a credit card to start a tab but I was able to pay with cash and be trusted, so who knows? Anyway I have been here twice and each time left with a full belly and the appropriate amount of drinks for the money. Good value for what you pay for, that's hard to find. Quirky ambiance with a bunch of dollar bills on the ceiling but I am quirky too so it's perfect. I'll be back, next time I'm in town! read more

There is no better way to put this but some dive bars are sad. I'm giving this place a 3 star since it's clean. Other than that it's a sad place for Georgetown locals to do some self loathing. This is where mountain town folks in the area go to the ponder what they did wrong in life. The food is okay but if you wanna be depressed while listening to a combination of horrible trap mumble mouth hip hop and some country music from the juke box, this is your place. Even writing this review is making me depressed reminiscing on the depressing atmosphere. This place is like a scene right out of Ozarks, my name is Earl, Trailer Park Boys, or Honey Boo Boo. read more

Very kind employees and customers as well! We got the Philly cheese steak and it was delicious! Inside was definitely a cool place to hang out and then the patio was gorgeous. If we weren't driving through we would have stayed longer. read more

All you could ever want. Cold beer, good music, great people, cheap prices, plus a patio.

The location of this was great as their patio is right next to a creek. Quite enjoyable to have water rushing while you enjoy a drink or some food. We popped in for a quick lunch and we got our food pretty quick. The philly could've had some peppers or veggies. Way too much meat. read more

Perfect little dive bar next to a cute little creek! The locals there are so welcoming and friendly.

With not many options in Georgetown, CO, this place fills the gap quite well. We were just passing through and glad we found this place. Very comfortable and friendly. Plenty of things to drink on tap (or in a bottle). We arrived a little late to get the full menu options but the chicken fingers satisfied. Tons of character here, and the service is spot on. See you all the next time we're passing through. read more

Local joint if not the ONLY true bar in town! Situated right on Clear Creek you wanna go out back and smoke something and just take in the view/ trust me. Lots of local beer and they even had an amazing Pineapple IPA from Crooked Stave on tap. Patrons are mostly locals, some aggressive hounds lurking so don't leave any FEMALE at the bar by herself! You got some tourists as well as kids on ski trips just getting AFU. Food marginal & service is good.. don't forget to look for silver dollars on the floor! Talk Later read more

Best Philly cheesesteak, fries and wings in town. Plus a great, relaxed atmosphere, you can always find a friend. If you're not happy just keep drinking read more

Ya can't give Mother's Saloon less than 5. If you do, you're just being a DOUCHE now aren't you? What did you expect out in the middle of mountains? Table service and a frickin' cheese plate? There's no civilization for 20 miles! Well.... At least 20 feet. Still! Every crease and crack on the face of an old local tells a story, just like the ancient dust on the floor. Faded and yellowed-dollar bills cover the ceiling like tattered shingles. The old creaky bar is fantastic, and the pool table's older with faded and yellowed balls. The old men's beards are faded and yellowed too. The place looks like it could collapse at any second. All as GOD INTENDED IT. Love it or leave it. $3 for pretty much any item. Hipsters beware. Douches... read more

Mother's Saloon - Classic mountain dive! - Bars Near Me - Georgetown, Colorado

Went in here on a Saturday night to an interesting collection of urban snow folks coming back from the mountains mixed in with locals. Georgetown is a pretty small town just off the 70 and this is one of the first bars you'll find. The bartender when I was there was super nice and the drinks were solid. A jukebox had some classic rock stuff on it and this place seems to be a Sublime bar with a lot of posters and signed stuff as well as their CDs in the jukebox of course. A great down home place to just get your drink on with absolutely no pretense! My favorite bar in G'town - although I heard there is only one other... read more

Mother's Saloon - March 8, 2008 - Bars Near Me - Georgetown, Colorado

My favorite hole in the wall. Small town bar for the small town it's located in. Friendly staff, decent bar food, and a reasonable selection of liquor really rounds out a good small bar. read more

Dive bar, but friendly staff and locals. We opted for the deck overlooking the creek -- yes! Service was good, burger was fresh and hand-made -- yum. Good place for a burger or beer. read more

Mother's has--without question--the BEST CHEESESTEAK in all of Clear Creek County, if not Colorado, or the world. Cheesesteak, hot fries, cold beer--a great meal. I'm from NC but wouldn't miss it for the world when I'm back. read more

Walked in here for a burger and a beer while I-70 was closed...... what a complete garbage dump. After ordering burgers and beers, the OWNER rudely mocked us for asking for a Iced Tea and ripped up our order in our faces & told us to go somewhere else. What on earth? We gladly went over to Coopers where we were treated with respect and a nice meal. Do not give these people your money. read more

Soo stumbled across this place? Was greeted once I sat myself down, next to two struggling plants. I asked to see the menu, but was very combobulated when my grandma, I mean the server said, "the menus is over there " & pointed to a dry erase bored across the restaurant. Needless to say I got up and left; the aesthetics were not up to par, plus the seat ripped open my leggings :(. The second I stepped away these two locals in the back exclaimed "aww what happened?" As me and my friend approached the exit. I should've took pictures.... but my one & only regret is that I didn't take those struggling plants with us. We named them Rhikardo and Flastino. That was the only thing we felt connected with. If you see them please water them. Thanks. Sincerely, two conceded earth scientists read more

This bar is bull rap i walked in to check the menu twice and the 3rd time they say Im Sketchy and i need to leave cus I walked in twice already like what lol terrible service since the 2 times I came in I waited 10 minutes and wasn't greeted read more

Local dive bar (in the good way), dive bar parking lot (in a not so good way). There's obviously a lot of history here, and luckily its friendly enough inside to get some of those stories out of people. The bartender (hair done by Harley Davidson) was very friendly, though she seemed a bit overwhelmed by all of the customers, so we had to wait a little long which was mostly our fault (we just sat down, probably should have gone up to the bar). Local ladies Jill and Gail showed my mom, dad, and myself around and made us feel welcome, and the little chihuahua charmed me at the first ear scritch Its a bar first and restaurant second, in that there's a menu, but only alcohol and traditional mix-ins to drink (cola, sprite, O.J. etc.). Food is pretty damned good for a bar, my mother had a burger and (big) onion rings, which she said was among the best she's had in CO., my dad had the cheesesteak special of which he happily ate every bite, and I had the Dip which was big and juicy, and some wonderful fries. I never give five stars until I've eaten at a place more than twice, but I'd like to eat here again. read more

I have never been so disrespected on such a quick period of time Thank goodness for a couple kind employees. I was yelled at by who I think was an over drunken manager or owner For sitting next to someone who as caused trouble and I didn't even know him or any idea why he was upset I have many friends who love this place And I've only been it it once before and had a fine time So I thought while it's raining and I wait for my ride that I'd go relax after work It was the complete opposite I uncontrollably to cry and he just said suck it up Again I have no idea why this an is yellimg at me Then his employees try to tell him that I have nothing to do with the situation He comes from behind the bar and tries to put his hand on my shoulder to apologize I said I except your apology bit please don't touch me Then he gets upset that he's in my personal space I really just don't understand Also the reason I was staying is I was waiting on food that I ask for a refund and he said "Fuck you no refund " so his kind employee almost gave Me money put of his own pocket So I could leave But I haven't eaten all day and was just waiting quietly for my food and didn't want to take his money for his bosses insolence. I understand if it's your home town bar But that man who is the apparent owner made me feel unwelcome and ridiculous Please don't go to this bar if you can help it I won't ever again I also am a local and try to help the community as much as I can and only had one drink This bar is a problem and nuisance @$*# Mothers read more
