    Elk meatloaf
    Lisa Y.

    We arrived for dinner around 6:30 p.m. on a Friday and were worried we would have to wait, but we were seated right away. It seemed like we got their last available table as it was a 6 top, but happy the hostess let us have it rather than wait for a 2-top. We were seated by the door so it was a little chilly but it was not too bad. We were seated right by the window so we could people watch. We ordered two dinners. An elk meatloaf with a salad and then the special which was a 10 oz sirloin steak, with mashed potatoes and red beans. Both dinners were tasty! unfortunately, the steak did not have any veggies on the side. it was a protein heavy meal. Delicious, but needed something green to accompany it. Overall, the meals were cooked well and were delicious! In addition, we attended a concert in the downtown concert venue. Small and intimate. Great sound and such a wonderful experience!

    This place is a MUST if you're ever in crested butte. The atmosphere, service and food are just impeccable. We went for a late lunch probably more towards dinner I would say. When we got there we were immediately sat and we sat in a booth right by the window. Each table already has some fresh water and glasses for you while you wait for your server to come. When our server came I ordered an old fashioned, which omg they made amazingly and I will say I had 4 (haha I was on vacation and got a little tipsy lol) but they were just soooo delicious. For our appetizers I ordered the Brussel sprouts and my daughter got the fried pickles. The Brussel sprouts came out perfectly crispy, tossed in whatever sweet stuff they used (the best) topped with a ton and I mean a ton of bacon lol I was there for it! The Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly the crisp was perfect and the flavors were sweet. I did not try the fried pickles so I can't speak on those. For my main entree I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was nice and crispy and had a nice flavor to it and paired perfectly with their tartar sauce, and the amount of fries you get with it is ridiculous lol not in a bad way. They were good as well but the star of the show was the fish. The inside of the restaurant is super cool tbh it looks industrial to me and old. The bathroom is down stairs and I saw another room down there so idk if that was more seating. Our service was AMAZING!! And the food came out so fast! I will definitely be back if I'm ever in town. Wish I could give this place a 10

    Great brewery in town! The vibe is great and our server was super kind. We were seated immediately. The brussel sprouts were amazing! I had a the burger and it was cooked to my liking & I was able to sub for a gluten free bun. Definitely recommend.

    Corn dip left and Poutine, both good!

    Cool Colorado saloon with a contemporary vibe. They have a nice selection of beers and I enjoyed their Poutine. The corn dip was also yummy, and service was friendly. We'd definitely go back!

    Love this place! We ate here last night and were able to eat outside. The service was fantastic - and our meal was fabulous. I ordered the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese which was delicious - and was able to upgrade the salad that comes with it to the beet and quinoa salad. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits - I normally really dislike grits - but these were incredibly tasty. We also ordered a really tasty elderflower sparkling wine drink (Hugo) that was really tasty. We will definitely be back again!

    Really enjoyed this restaurant in the heart of downtown crested butte. We decided to eat here based off the recommendations from the receptionist at our hotel. Definitely a local spot with a lot of heart, history and personality. Lots of beer options on tap along with speciality drinks and a wine menu. Enjoyed the burger while watching a snowboarding documentary!

    The burger and fries
    Lisa O.

    No complaints here! The kids adore their kids menu (pasta with marinara and Mac & cheese, and my hubs enjoyed his burger. I loved the the elk meatloaf which was suuuuuper tasty and not gamey in the slightest. Drinks were delicious and the waiter was wonderful.

    Elk meatloaf with potatoes was everything you could have wanted and the side salad balanced the flavors.

    Came in here after a long day snowboarding and this was my favorite place to Aprés all season!…read moreThere are only a handful of tables and some bar seating, and the ambience is so cute, well lit with lots of fresh feeling decor and light airy vibes. We took two seats at the bar and were lucky enough to have Tina helping us, she was so friendly and knowledgeable, really a gem. We started with the fiery passion and the rum sour and were impressed by the complexity of flavors in both, the fiery passion was a real winner, with a taste of passionfruit, and the habanero pineapple in the rum really coming through, but not in a overly sweet way, just enough. The chili sugar rim was a unique way to really set it over the top. The rum sour was also delicious, the Demerara, giving it almost a hint of an old-fashioned, but keeping it light and foamy throughout. Such an incredible set of cocktails. I also had the tomato bisque soup, it was so yummy and cheesy, and the staff were nice enough to bring out some local made bread toasted on the side. Then, Tina made us her own special cocktail, a take on a strawberry spicy rum, with an egg white to give it a delicious foamy texture. All the drinks are delicious, and Tina noted that they were the strongest cocktails in the area, with 2 1/2 shots per drink. We were definitely feeling fun and talkative as we were leaving. This place was so upbeat, with games to choose from, but still keeping a refined mountain vibe. We tried to go back again the next day, but had finished earlier and the bar didn't open yet! Bummer. We don't find our way to crested Butte often but next time we are there, it will surely be a stop.

    We love this bar as an apres skiing spot. The fact that you don't open until 4:00 is mindblowing…read more Considering there aren't really any other decent apres places, you are missing out on a huge sector of people that would come for lunch/beers after skiing. We always want to come but not at 4:00! Such a bummer. Even open at 2:00 and get the whole ski crowd. You've got the big TV for football and games start at 11:00. Is there a reason for opening so late?

    After a long drive from Arizona to Crested Butte, we arrived late into town looking for somewhere…read moreto eat. We were looking for something near our hotel with a kitchen that opens late and that offers gluten-free options (for my buddy). Iron Horse Tap ended up being the place for us. They serve up American bar food and appetizers with a nice selection of beer, wine and cocktails on their drink menu. Iron Horse Tap is located inside The Plaza and has great views of Mt. Crested Butte's Peak. We were able to walk over from our hotel. It was a chilly night, so we appreciated how warm and cozy the place was. Iron Horse has a number of TVs that show various sporting events. The pizza options on the menu looked good, so order a MOB Pizza with a beer. I like to try the local beers whenever I visit a new town and Iron Horse had a selection of local Colorado beers on tap. Iron Horse Tap had a nice crowd on hand and ended up being a solid first stop for us on this trip to Crested Butte.

    White House Tavern is a perfect example of Aspen casual done right…read more The restaurant sits in a charming historic house and has such a warm, relaxed energy -- great music, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere. The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat.

    This place was very highly recommended amongst all of our friends and relatives that live around…read moreAspen, so we had high hopes. The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably.
