We were on vacation and poked our head in here to check out there menu just as they opened up but ended up staying because of the good vibes. I had the brisket tacos and and guacamole with chips. The food was excellent! The warmest bartender, Burley, and the owner Rick made these two old gals feel right at home. I would say go for the food and drinks, but the conversation was just as good! read more

My husband and I came here for a dinner on a chill Thursday night. They took our drink orders and our food ordered and we had to wait over 30 minutes for corn and a chicken bowl we were sharing. The staff was really nice, and I absolutely LOVED the music they were playing. The food took too long to come out and the chicken bowl was SUPER dry. read more

Edited Review: I contacted the Owner about how one of his employees stole money from me and he was very respectful, non judgmental and eager to make my situation right. He immediately refunded the money stole from me and I am very happy about the situation. It really was not about the amount which was 19%, but about the fact he had a very dishonest employee. I would even go back now because the food was good and the attitude of the owner corrected my shitty situation with a refund. Below is how I felt at the time when I found out I was ripped off. My suggestion is to go to the restaurant, expect to ORDER and PAY at the bar not at the table to reduce frustration on your expectations. Additionally be sure to watch your bill when it comes in - I have not heard if he fired the bar tender that ripped me off, but the owner is a very honest person and genuinely interested in correcting the wrong that was done to me Original Input before the Owner corrected the situation: This restaurant is a rip off and will steal money from you. I authorized a payment and they added 19% on top that I did not authorize due to their poor service which was non existent. Anyone who takes money from you unauthorized is theft and as noted in other responses this is not the first time. This place SUCKS and I recommend to stay away this should be a zero review but that is not an option read more

Worst customer service ever. You have to order the food at the bar, with loud music playing, and the bartender was extremely rude, saying "speak up, I can't hear you," with a really rude attitude. $65 for 6 tacos and 2 Pepsi, the bartender added the tip to the bill without my approval and refused to give me the receipt, which I think is basically theft. I don't recommend this restaurant. Not friendly at all. Greenwood Spring is a tourist area they should be welcoming to visitors. read more

Came into town for the hot springs and decided to go out. In a small town, this was THE place to be on a Saturday night. Karaoke, dancing, Pool tables, bar and food! Highly recommend if you're looking for a night out here read more

I've had expensive drinks, and i've had bad drinks, but never have i had such expensive drinks that were so bad. Whichever friend told me that Native Son has really good margaritas should be in prison. The whiskey sours weren't sour. The classic margs tasted like OJ The moscow mule was fine. The burritos, while tasty, were crazy small. Like frozen burrito size. All of that on top of just unreasonable prices (for the quality). However, the vibes were unmatched. Amazing karaoke, good people, no fights or drama. People were dancing and mingling, it was truly a fun night. 5* atmosphere mixed with -10* drinks averages out to a solid 3*. read more

Native Son Agave Bar & Kitchen - Went for Hot Springs Apres and had the best shrimp tacos on the planet! Super awesome vibe! - New American Near Me - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Went in for the first time on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago. We really enjoyed our time there (2 of us). The cocktails were great! So was the appetizer we ordered (potato wedges). Brandi with an "I", took the time to give us her expertise on all of the mezcals they have on the shelf. She also took the time to go over little events they host and just a little history of the bar as she knew we were new to the area. The ambiance was cool. Music that was playing was not our cup of tea (rap & hip house) but no one seemed to mind including us. We shall visit again! read more

Thank you Brandi for the delicious cocktail! We had a good time as our first time in Glenwood Springs. read more

Stopped in with some friends for a night cap and to check the place out. They had 2 employees working the bar which is where you ordered any drinks and food. We all ordered some drinks and a couple appetizers to pick at while hanging out. This night happened to be salsa dancing night which included an instructor to walk you through some guided lessons. Some of our friends joined in and had fun with it. The instructor was great and the vibe it created was entertaining. There was a large crowd playing pool the whole time so we weren't able to get on the tables but that happens. The chips and salsa were nothing to write about but your below average appetizer you'd get for free at most Mexican places. read more

What feels like the only place that serves food after 9 doesn't disappoint. Casual vibes, good beer, open late!

Brandi was so nice and helpful. Her Apple Cider Sangria recipe was to die for! My gf literally wants to recreate it at home! read more

This place made our night! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly staff. As a veggie- the avocado sweet potato tacos were insane! My boyfriend had the meat tacos and it was the same delicious story. we chose to sit at the bar, but there were nice tables and 2 pool tables in the back. THEN Ricky who gave great beta on mtn bike trails as well- suggested I mix up my normal whiskey drink and try a whiskey margarita - I was skeptical, but damn! It was the best tasting margarita I've ever had. Who knew? I need to go back to try a tequila marg there now. Then I tried a whiskey sour- again. I found my new favorite place for a cocktail and tacos. Thank you Ricky- make sure have Ricky make you a drink or suggest a cold beer. We will definitely be back. read more

If you're looking for a night out in Glenwood... This. Is. Your. Place. A group of 7 of us came here for a Bachelorette party and had a blast. Dancing + live music + + refreshing drinks + late night food = all expectations met. Bathrooms are comfy and food is served up until midnight. Ricardo, the owner, is a gem of a human. He cares about his customers and has the best staff (S/o to Shilo for his Hawaiian shirt and Joe for his hospitality). We'll be back for the next celebration, cheers! read more

Native Son Agave Bar & Kitchen - a bar with a television - New American Near Me - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Came here at opening with three gal friends. The service was a little neglectful initially but there was a young guy helping serve our food and water that was kind and attentive. We were some of the only ones in there but it was 6 pm on a Thursday. The vibe was fun and colorful. The star of this place is the fully gluten free limited menu. We had the potato wedges and aioli, chips and salsa and guac, chimichurri bowls, barbacoa bowls, and barbacoa tacos. All of it was fresh and absolutely delicious. This is overall a fun place with good food. read more

My boyfriend and I came in for the happy hour. We came in right at 6pm exactly. We immediately asked about the happy hour, they said they didn't have one. The website says 6-7 pm happy hour $5 drinks and some apps. We decided to stay and order one full priced drink anyway just to try. The bartender was on her phone the whole time. I am not one to leave a bad review but don't have a happy hour posted online if it isn't being served. read more

Stopped by on my drive through colorado, was told to hit up this local spot for a good time. It was a decently busy night but that's not really an excuse for the terrible service that the bartender gave. she basically acted like i didn't exist. needless to say, i was in and out of the place pretty quick with how terrible it was. Had to ask someone to recommend me a different spot. luckily i wont be coming back to colorado anytime soon. read more

Stopped in just to grab a drink and wound up in a short conversation about Halloween, nostalgia, and magnetic device charging. Folks seemed nice -- bar and customers alike -- and very much seems the sort of place I could be a regular if I lived in the area. This particular evening was karaoke night, which was something I hadn't seen in a while and the couple of songs we heard were as gloriously horrifying as any such fun should be. We had a couple of their specialty drinks and I certainly recommend trying those if you're inclined. We didn't eat, but the food looked amazing. I will definitely be back when I'm next in the region. read more

Popped in after enjoying the hot springs. Ordered a spicy margarita which really hit the spot! It was well made. Staff was very friendly and professional! For dinner, I got the chicken tinga tacos and they were honestly some of the best tacos I've ever had. They give generous portions here. I highly recommend this spot and it appears to be one of the restaurants that stays open later within the area if you are looking for a late night bite. read more

Wonderful food, with exquisite fancy yet filling tapas at a reasonable price. This restaurant and bar is very upper class, though I was totally okay to come in with a tank top shirt and eat outdoors. Service here is top tier, very friendly owner and employees. We loved our food and I'm super excited to come back with my girlfriend for some bottomless mimosas!!! Overall an amazing experience.

Mexican street corn was awesome. Service was excellent for a late night bite. Appealing modern vibe on the inside.

Kuul vibe. Chris, our Bartender, was definitely taking good care of everyone. The menu is very limited, but thr Chicken Tinga tacos were tasty. Enjoyed watching the adrenaline junkie videos and drone nature vids over the bar, instead of sports, very much. Thr menu is very limited, ck out the pix taken 11.23.21 read more

Stopped by after the hot springs and had a great experience! Food and drinks were both amazing - the taco tuesday deal is 2 tacos for $10 and BOGO margaritas, I mean does it get any better than that? Shilo was very friendly, accommodating, and had great recommendations! Definitely more of a bar than restaurant, at least when we went on a Tuesday evening. read more

Really enjoyed everything about this cute place! Excited to learn that they are also working on finalizing their liquor license and expanding the drink options to be full bar inside and to the right. What a great food menu! If you're wanting to eat "clean" or maybe are vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free... they've got several yummy options for you! Our party ordered breakfast plates with bacon and sausage as well as their HUGE oatmeal bowl... yum! The oatmeal bowl could be easily split between two and man, did it look foods she added fresh berries, shaved coconut and chocolate chips. We ate happily and enjoyed the many seating options. We choose a booth area in the front, with a great view into the sleepy town. We sampled their kombucha as well and took a growler with us as we left. Loved everything about this place. The service was fabulous, personal and friendly. We'll def look forward to our next visit! read more

Winter season, Wednesday, 6:30 pm. The Papas Bravas, potato wedges with shredded steak & chipotle sauce was delicious and filling, a fair value at $15. The mojito was ok, and improved upon request, but overpriced at $14. $5 for a coke. $29 + tip. Server was ok, and timeliness was ok, but seemed somewhat disinterested, and was barely audible in a fairly quiet room. The music was good but a bit depressing.... It seemed to fit the personality of the server. The men's bathroom was clean & functional; it could use a coat hanger in the stall. Would I eat here again? Yes. Would I recommend? Mmmm, maybe.... read more

I used to be regular at this bar because I adore their food, I have recently decided along with a few other locals that we will no longer be going in to Loyal brothers. one of many reasons is the newer staff is incredibly rude. I had gone in Saturday night before 10:00 to get their Papas bravas (my favorite food item) with my family and was refused entrance due to a few people in my party not having their IDs. read more

Holy shitzies this place has amazing food. And came in SO CLUTCH being open until 12 am because we were STARVING after our dinner spot did not pan out. We had the chicken tinga bowl, steak skewers and the potatoes. Oh my dear god--so delicious. We're talking Hello Fresh+ taste parings and it was chipotle, x1000. Also the Peachy Mexican drink was 10/10 amaze balls, didn't even taste the tequila. Am I writing this review 2 drinks deep? YES! Am I lying about my enthusiasm for this place? NO!! I love food. And I am passionate and about food (& sharing my opinion). I will talk about good food as long as you let me. I would dare say that this is some of the best food in town. read more

Husband and I are exploring restaurants now that we have moved here - wow! Food was excellent. Tried Papaps bravas (licking the plate would have been rude) Chicken Tinga tacos and Shrimp tacos. We did take food home but had to force ourselves to stop eating - food tasted so good but we were full. I enjoyed a Vaccine C and will try Rattlesnake next time. A nice vibe, very relaxing. I can see that people get upset at slow service but that seems to be everywhere - every single restaurant we have been in is challenged to keep up. I was happy to have a nice, chill place to relax after work with great food and a tasty beverage. read more
