It was well-balanced and refreshing. They had a singer-songwriter performing in the dining room the night we were there. He was really good. Sound level was perfection. Loud enough to hear the music but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Ambiance was very nice. Staff was great too. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend The Rock Inn. We'll be back for sure the next time we're in Estes.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic ski lodge. The staff is friendly and the whole vibe is so relaxed! We will make this our go to when we come into town .

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!

Breakfast potatoes were a unique flavor and likewise great. For dinner got a bison burger and I forget all that it had on it but I absolutely inhaled it. REALLY REALLY good. I hardly ever write reviews, but feel they deserve more business given the high food quality. I was shocked that the place wasn't packed. Weird summer vacation hours, I guess. Everyone ultra friendly as well.

We ordered the bison short rib, black and blue pasta, New York strip, hamburger, and kids' hamburger, and everyone enjoyed their meals.
