    Entrance to the brewery
    Patrick G.

    What an awesome little brewery. The minute we walked in some of the locals started talking to us, very nice people, interested in how are fishing had gone that day and where we were from. The young lady who helped us choose our beers was very helpful and professional. I had the Two Headed Caddis IPA, which had a great hoppy flavor with a touch of tropical sweetness. I also tried the Duhb Lasc Irish Stout, great coffee flavor! The food is served from the Chuckwagon Grille food truck. Awesome smash burgers that were so large you had to eat them with a fork and knife. I had the Heart Attack burger, which was a 1/2 pound burger covered with cheese, smothered with green chili, bacon, lettuce tomatoes and onion. Soooo good!!! If you pass through Meeker, you definitely need to stop here! Keep up the good work guys, you definitely have a gem of a brewery!

    IPA and lager.

    We stopped here twice on a fishing trip. I love visiting small town breweries. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. Very nice variety of beers, and we all agreed they tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive. It was a bit noisy inside, but most breweries are like that. On the second visit (on the weekend) they had a smoker going and we all regretted that we had just finished lunch.

    One of the best burgers I've had ! The beer matched or topped bigger well known breweries in Colorado.

    As far as this brewery goes; it's pretty good, especially for a small town like Meeker.

    I would have never known Glenwood Springs has a serious food scene, and this place is a stunner…read morethat would give top restaurants in big cities a run. Truly one of the best dinning experiences I have ever had. The use of locally sourced meat from CCR and Law's Bourbon is such a great add. The atmosphere is trendy and cool, way above an average "mountain town" dining but still warm and friendly. our service was absolutely perfect. Food - the steak tartare is completely unmatched in presentation & preparation. I love traditional steak tartare but this was a really great take on it. The menu has a considerable presence of peas and beans incorporated into this dishes which is a unique touch from other high end restaurants. The dishes were amazingly plated, and the tastes were so tremendously brought together with quality. Do NOT miss the pistachio tiramisu. The absolute best dessert I have ever had. Words really can't do it justice! This is a spectacular dining experience for any city!

    My first review I wrote immediately after the visit magically "disappeared" so here is my…read morereattempt- It was the very end of February and our first time in Glenwood Springs; this restaurant was recommended by a friend - Inside there is a fun pub/ bar yet somewhat classy vibe with brick walls and large screen tvs on display. The host was pleasant and immediately took us to a table for two. After more than a few minutes, a waitress arrived. I can't even tell you her name, bc she never introduced herself; she basically walked up and asked (almost annoyingly) "hey, are you drinkin' or what?" - the whole night she had this attitude and barely checked on us. More on her later though... I ordered the bomb diggity [bourbon, alchermes, cinnamon, spicy peppers, lemon, szechuan bitters] - it was disappointing for me as I anticipated more "burn and spice" with those ingredients but was actually more on the sweet side, but not a bad cocktail by any means (just less my style). My wife ordered the get squashed [tequila, dry curacao, allspice roasted squash, agave, lime, hickory salt rim] - had this with mezcal instead - which was what I would call a very fun cocktail and would definitely get again! We ordered the Steak tartare for an appetizer, followed by the Red wine cavatelli for the wife and pan roasted colorado striped bass for myself. After a decent amount of wait time, our entrees arrived (delivered by food runners)- We ask, what happened to our appetizer? They indicate they will find our server. Our unnamed waitress comes back to the table and made a comment something to the effect of "the kitchen must have messed it up," no apology, no "let me check on that," just shrugged it off and asked "so do you still want it?" The entrees were good but too much time has passed for me to provide significant detail here, we were also just flustered by the waitress-tartare situation. Ultimately we decided we would still like the steak tartare and would just consider it "dessert" since we had been looking forward to it, and I'm glad we did. It was DELISH. The tots? Fantastic and unique base for the tartare. When the bill came I am pretty sure this is the first and only time our waitress smiled. There was, again, no apology or comped portion of the bill. We did speak with the manager (who was super personable and understanding) to let him know our concerns about said waitress. Overall, the food here is worth it but that waitress should find another job, perhaps one with less human interaction.

    The Pullman - Savory porcini beignets - decent and would be much better without the cold cream under.

    Ok so we googled for a place to eat and chose this place at random, I wasn't super convinced with…read morethe menu but decided to try it out anyway. WELL, SO HAPPY I DID!!!.. Beginning with the greeting, they were absolutely lovely, very polite, sat us right away, we went on a non busy day so we had pretty much the second floor to ourselves. The host was lovely and then our waitress came and was just as nice, a great way to start a meal. We ended up getting the buffalo wings, SO GOOD, crunchy, lathered in sauce, tender enough, so flavorful, with a side of ranch. We had the onion rings, and let me tell you, those were BIG rings ! Again, nice and crunchy and so enjoyable. Last but not least, we had the loaded nachos and WOAH! Let me tell ya, this dish can feed up to 4+ people! It was only 2 of us and we were in shock at how big these nachos were so keep that in mind! They had beef, pico de gallo, salsa, cheese and they used different chips too, the regular and the blue tortilla chips, omg MOUTH WATERING! Full of flavor, very well made, everything about them was great! To drink we only had club sodas with lime but they do have a full bar and by the looks of it, they had it all so if Youre a drinker, this is also the place for you! The place was chill, dimmed lights, nice music not overly loud so you can still carry on a conversation , and very clean which is always on top of my list. The price was reasonable and I just loved it! This place was great in every way! Definitely HIGHLY recommend!

    Service was friendly and fast! Great beers, boozy root beer float was amazing!!

    My wife and I met up with some friends here for some beers and pizza. We've been wanting to come…read morefor quite a while and we finally made it. It's definitely a place that we'll come back to. They have a bunch of excellent beers and there is a food truck in the back that serves delicious wood fired thin crust pizza and other "gourmet street food" according to the writing on their truck. We had two of their large pies and an order of Wisconsin cheese curds. Between the four of us, I think we are all but one slice. As for the beer, I think we had at least 6 different beers. They have a great selection of pilsners and lagers that are around 5-6% abv, which is good since we had to drive. They also have a couple coolers with soft drinks for kiddos, DDs and those that don't drink beer. They also had a couple of hard seltzers available. All of the beers we tasted were great. I'd recommend getting a flight of 4 if you want to try a few different kinds. My favorite is probably theirr Free Stone lager. The space is pretty unique. All parking is in the back in a crushed stone parking lot. There is a deck off the front and the back. I think most of the action is either inside or on the back seating area. There was a gigantic TV inside where there was a football game showing, but we stayed mostly on the deck outside except for coming into get more beer and use the restrooms. There were three restrooms, M, W and either. Lots of high top tables inside and a handful of rocking chairs on the back deck. Be sure to bring a jacket or other layers because as soon as the sun goes down, we'll, it's Colorado so you should know. The temps dropped pretty quickly. It's a great place to bring well behaved dogs and meet up with friends for good food and drinks. We're adding it to our down valley rotation.
