July 18, 2026 - Montrose, CO…read more The dog-friendly outdoor patio first caught our eye, and then the name--Horsefly Brewing Company--along with its great reviews convinced us to stop for lunch. We're so glad we did! The patio is spacious and comfortable, with several seating areas that give it a relaxed atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive, and his recommendation of the Flatlander Chicken Sandwich ($15.99) was spot on. Since my husband and I often split meals, we ordered one sandwich to share. To our surprise, it arrived already divided onto two separate plates--a thoughtful touch that's becoming all too rare. That kind of service definitely earns extra points. The sandwich was delicious, with grilled chicken breast, guacamole, bacon, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle mayo, served with perfectly cooked crispy fries. I ordered an iced tea but couldn't resist trying a sample of their seasonal Peach Ale. It was so good that I ended up ordering a small glass. I'm not usually much of a beer drinker, but this one was outstanding. I only wish they sold it in cans so I could have taken some home! Before we left, my husband picked up a couple of cans of his favorite beers and a Horsefly T-shirt. Great food, excellent service, tasty beer, and a welcoming dog-friendly patio made this a memorable stop. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

I'm honestly a little bummed that Shelter Distilling is sitting at around 3.5 stars. It should be…read more5 stars! because we almost passed this place up because of the rating -- and I'm SO glad we didn't. I had the Strawberry Salad and a taco, and we also had the fish and chips. Everything was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and far exceeded our expectations. Our server, Emily, was incredible. She was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and provided the kind of service that makes you want to come back. Emily, thank you for taking such great care of us! The atmosphere is another huge plus. You're right by the river, the setting is beautiful, and it's just a great environment to sit back, enjoy some great food and drinks, and relax. If you're looking at the reviews trying to decide whether to come here, GO. Give this place a chance and decide for yourself. We're incredibly glad we did. Highly recommend Shelter Distilling in Montrose!

Food service was slow also, and food only average especially the Colorado Chili Relleno which was poorly presented and virtually NO poblano chili! Should have been a tasty dish but was very uninteresting done. Overall food was OK but overpriced.

As we spoke in unison, I thought to myself, maybe we are in need of a little giggle water to get the night started, then just like that the door shut...silence. Oh crap, we're not getting in...maybe we didn't say it right! Then a few moments later the door opened and we were greeted by a 1920s-styled gentleman. He kindly welcomed us into a small but quaint waiting area and told us he'd be back in a few. When he returned, he handed us three glasses of champagne. Dang, we're not even in the bar yet but already digging this place! Finally we're in, and reminiscent of the 1920's with its vintage and retro decor...this speakeasy was super cool, comfy and cozy! Are we really in Montrose? Their drink menu was awesome and I'm not gonna lie, but it was kinda fun watching our mixologist carefully hand craft our cocktails with such care and pride...after all, not everyone can shake, rattle and stir like a mixologist...these peeps are trained professionals! Bottom line, Phelanies is a welcome addition to the Montrose community and night life. Really loved the ambience and the service and drinks were excellent...we truly had such a lovely evening and experience. Can't wait to come back!

August 12, 2026 - Ridgway, CO…read more We had been here once before, and fondly remembered our visit. So we decided to re-visit. We ordered the Cowboy Pizza - Garlic oil, mozzarella, sausage, bacon, tomatoes, gorgonzola and arugula ($19). I ordered a glass of wine, and my husband ordered an IPA. We sat out on the dog-friendly patio. We were lucky to get a table; the outside tables filled up quickly. When a couple arrived with their pup and found all the tables occupied, we invited them to join us. It turned out to be a nice way to meet fellow travelers. And the pizza? DELICIOUS! The crust was excellent, and I loved the combination of flavors and toppings on the Cowboy Pizza. Definitely must eat here if you happen to visit Ridgway.

They have indoor and outdoor seating options and I thought it was super cute that all of the outdoor benches had dog bowls for everyone who wanted to bring their fur babies along with them. Service was pretty laid back/casual-our waitress took our order within 5 minutes of us being in the restaurant and when we moved to a bench outside they were super flexible. She bought out the food fairly quickly and she also brought us some chili oil that she said people like to drizzle on their pizzas.

That's not how customer service works. :)
