All about location! The location is perfect and the music is great! Other than that, I would keep looking if you are in the search for good food. This is more like snack bar at food at restaurant rates. I paid $20 for a burger and bag of chips. If it was a good burger, I'd be good with that, but it was on par with a very basic fast food burger, so could have paid about $5 for something similar or better. That said.... I think I was more paying for the music and beautiful views, being on the water. If you are looking to hang out in a chill place, and are not that concerned with food quality then I highly recommend the spot. Otherwise, like I said earlier, Id keep on looking :-)

Service was friendly, definitely short staffed- but not the staffs fault. They were doing the best they could - especially on a Friday after the popular Farmers market. Be patient and prepared to chill out.

Great tacos, tasty margs, and a stellar location! My husband and I headed to Lake Dillon for a day of paddle boarding (which did not disappoint), and after some time on the water we decided on an early happy hour. The Tiki Bar is a cute spot right overlooking the lake and mountainous views. It has a cool vibe, being made up of a few docks lined around the area. Plenty of patio seating and very laid back feel. Oh yeah, totally puppy friendly too. Our server, Charlotte, was great. She was masked and kept a friendly social distance. We were seated fairly far from other tables and given paper menus for single use as well. Plus, there's specified entry and exit ways to keep human traffic movin' safely. There aren't a whole lot of items on the menu, as it seems they limited it for now. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tiki Rita (aka margarita on the rocks), and my husband was happy with the Pug's Pilsner. Five stars for the Tiki Tacos as well, dang those were delish. The blackened cod was perfectly seasoned and there's no better topping combo than pico + avocado. Jonno really wasn't a fan of his chicken tenders, so I was kind enough to share a taco! I wouldn't hesitate to return. Hopefully see you again soon, Tiki!

Great place to end the day with a fruity cocktail. The view cannot be beat with both the lake and mountains. Very lively vibe.

Awesome place for some sunshine and super drinks if you're soaking up the Dillon lake side! Stopped here after hiking around the reservoir and it was the perfect way to end the ride. They've got tons of fun drinks on the menu so probably something for everyone. When we visited there was some live music but there are multiple places to sit so you can either hang out close for the music or find your own space if you want to just chill. Both shaded and sunshine options for sitting.

$6 portion of squeeze-tube guac.

This picture of their $6 portion of squeeze-tube guac says all you need to know: Come here for the environment and pay the price of admission through supremely mediocre food and slow, barely-competent service.

The location. Lots of stairs (FYI) or you can walk around the parking lot and go down that way.

The service was great and very attentive. Dog friendly patio. The food and drinks, meh. We had: The rum runner (slushy drink with a rum floater), Kokomo, and a Pilsner. Chicken fingers. Rum runner - caveat, I'm not a fan of out of the slushy machine drinks to begin with. It was ok? Not anything to write home about, but drinkable. I ordered thinking it was going to be more like a rum punch. Kokomo - super sweet. Tasted like it needed another shot or two bc it was that thick purée syrup overtaking the drink. Could not drink it all. Pilsner - run of the mill Pilsner. Chicken fingers - 5 fingers and a bag of Lay's chips. You can pick BBQ or Ranch dip. Kinda like chicken strips you buy in the freezer section and fried.

We cycled from Frisco marina to Dillon marina and stopped at the Tiki Bar for lunch and drinks. The atmosphere is great and the location on the water is perfect. The place was busy and the service was a little slow, but we had a great time just watching the boats and sipping on a few different cocktails before we rode back. Would highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

Awesome view

Would it be even better if they would turn down the volume on the music? It is such a mellow setting...

Yes maybe a notch or two.

Had an amazing time here today! As three young people in our 20's, it's not infrequent that we get…read morejudgmental or subpar service just by being younger guests. But as soon as we sat down, we knew that wouldn't be the case here. Natalie D. was incredibly bubbly, helpful, and funny, and made our beautiful rooftop meal even better than we expected. She ensured we got our happy hour stuff in by 5 pm, had great recommendations (which is always amazing, as indecisive people), and made us feel welcome and special. The cajun dry rub wings were amazing and the happy hour portion was generous for both those and the truffle fries. For entrees we had the braised short rib, HH smashburger, and scallops with truffle polenta. Everything was tasty! The polenta was slightly bland but polenta often is; Just ask for some lemon and salt on the side and it would be perfect. The scallops were cooked perfectly! Also the cocktail of the month for July, the Butterfly Pea Daiquiri, was delicious! Perfectly balanced and refreshing. At 4:30 pm on a Tuesday, it was fairly empty and had a great atmosphere on the outside section of the rooftop. Obviously the view was amazing, but everything else was great along with it!

Had a wonderful evening here on the patio. Such a wonderful view! Wasn't impressed with the menu…read moreespecially since it is inaccurate online with what you can order and the price you pay. Actually a quite underwhelming food selection. Menu needs to be expanded in my opinion. 4 dinner options just aren't enough for a fine dining experience. Extensive drink menu tho. Strongly suggest this place for a nice Strongly suggest the seared ahi tuna appetizer even though it comes with sad side salad no dressing even though the menu claims a carrot salad. Decided to sign our marriage license here ‍‍‍ ironically when you make reservations they ask if it's a special occasion. I filled that part out however, when we arrived and during our dinner no part of it was acknowledged. Why bother asking if they don't care? ‍

My first experience at Pug Ryan did not disappoint! It was a snowing Saturday early afternoon so…read moremost people were probably on the slopes, while I was seated quickly at the bar. Our bar tender was friendly and informative. He lets us sample a beer as my husband was curious but wasn't sure he wanted to order a pint. We each got a pint and ordered an appetizer of chip and queso. The queso was a bit too thin and runny for my liking but had great flavor. I got the pork green chili and my husband got the French onion soup, both were delicious, warm and a perfect cozy winter meal. We were both full from just that but our eyes were clearly bigger than our stomachs and we ordered fries. The fries were fine, nothing special, I wouldn't recommend them. We will be back to try more beers when we visit the area.

I've been travelling to Summit County to ski nearly every winter for a very very long time. Stopped…read moreinto Pug's a couple weeks ago for the first time. Finding a seat wasn't a problem and our group sat down to unwind after a long day of travel. Our server was excellent and she informed us that a few things off the menu weren't available due to an understaffed kitchen and that only a few beer selections were on tap because their head brewer had recently quit. Not a stellar start, but shit happens in the restaurant industry. My rating--I ordered a steak which was good but slightly over-cooked for my tastes and their unfortunately minimal beer selection. I don't like IPAs and that was really the only option for "lighter" beers. I'm sure they'll get things sorted out and when they do, I'll give them another chance.
