Fish and chips (side salad instead of chips)
Barbara B.

We had our pup with us so we ate on the patio. It's a great patio, nice ambiance. They brought us a bowl of water for our pup!! I had the ahi tuna sandwich with a side salad as my side and my husband had the fish and chips also with a side salad and the coleslaw. My ahi sandwich bun was a little too big for me so I pulled much of it off. The ahi was thinner than I expected but had had great taste. Their fries are 'battered' and then fried so I opted for the side salad which was wonderful. Lots of veggies and even pumpkin seeds! My husbands fish was moist and tasty. The coleslaw has a bit of spice which was delightful. A great variety on the menu! We'll definitely return on our next trip through Durango!!

There are a lot of breweries to choose from in Durango, and during our family vacation we tried quite a few of them. One of our favorites was Steamworks Brewery in downtown Durango. The location was perfect for us because we were able to easily walk there from our hotel. We were lucky enough to get outdoor seating, which made the experience even better. It was great to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful Durango weather, and people watch while having dinner. We decided to do a beer flight so we could sample a variety of their beers before committing to a full pint. It was a great way to try different styles, and we each ended up finding a favorite. Everything we tried was really good. My husband liked their Buffalo wings and whiskey burger, I enjoyed the seared tuna bowl, and our kids liked their pizza. It is definitely a busy and popular spot, especially during peak vacation times, so I would recommend putting your name in early and expecting there could be a wait. In our opinion it was worth it. Steamworks had a great casual vibe that worked well for both families and adults wanting to enjoy a brewery experience. The downtown location adds to the charm, and it definitely felt like one of those must visit spots while in Durango.

Indonesian Peanut Salad
Steve C.

Great food in downtown Durango. I had the Indonesian Peanut Salad and added some grilled chicken - awesome dish with tasty peanut dressing. Unfortunately, I didn't get the opp to try their beer. Service was very good. We ate inside and it was a bit dark.

Fish Tacos
Abby L.

James our server was great, he was attentive and kind without being pushy. The ceviche was good but lacking some on the amount of shrimp. The fish tacos were the highlight with fresh yummy fish. The dirty fries were decent if you don't love pulled pork I'd pass. My drink seemed watered down? I'd be curious to try their beers and ciders. The music was also quite loud so made it hard to always hear the people at our table. Overall not bad with good service, some good options but not sure about their drinks.

Tiramisu with house made espresso chocolate sauce
Sam S.

Came here two nights in a row and have loved it all. A huge building with indoor and outdoor dining. Wait staff with big smiles and great humor. Food was delicious- each dish had a twist on the familiar. My seared ahi tuna salad had farro in it which is rarely used at restaurants I've been to and it added great flavor and texture. Hangar steak with chimichuri sauce added a nice kick of flavor. Lastly was the tiramisu- delicious with house made espresso chocolate sauce. A twist on the traditional dessert. I highly recommend this place for anyone including families with young children as there is a menu for them too. I too will back my next visit to Durango!

We ordered the pretzel and Maui Wow Pizza and both were excellent! Our Server Leilani gave us great service and food recommendations. Very cool vibe in this place. Highly recommend.

May 2026 My wife and I were visiting Durango and were in the mood for a good burger for dinner. We asked the front desk clerk at the Marriott for a recommendation, and they suggested Steamworks Brewing, so we decided to give it a try. We chose to sit out on the back deck, which was a great choice. It was much quieter than the inside and made for a relaxing dinner. We both ordered iced tea and the Bacon Royale Burger with pepper jack cheese. The burgers were very good, and I liked that they use a generous 1/2-pound patty. That said, once all the toppings are piled on, the burger gets so tall that it's difficult to take a bite. It would be nice if they also offered a slightly smaller burger for those who don't want quite as much. I also think the price could be a little lower. The fries had a good flavor, but they weren't very hot when they were served. I understand that restaurants often cook fries in batches to keep up with demand, but I'd much rather wait an extra minute or two if it means my fries come out fresh and piping hot with the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely return the next time we're in Durango. The burger was very good, the atmosphere on the back deck was relaxing, and with just a couple of small improvements, this would be an even better dining experience.

Just around the corner from Carver, this spot has dedicated prkg (so you don't have to worry about the parking meters during the weekdays), which is a nice perk in dwntwn Durango! Massive indoor seating and bar area (outside patio seating as well) with fully backed and swivel barstools (which I luv! Not sure why so many places have the backless variety). Staff was courteous and checked in frequently (also kept my water glass full, which I great appreciate especially when working through a 7 taster flight!)! Beers were true to style with their anniversary Barleywine being my fav! Food was also fantastic! I got the whiskey burger (which I had last time) to go and it was so flavorful! The beer battered fries also stand on their own, no dipping sauces needed. Burger also came out w/in the timeframe given by the staff, which I was so grateful for so I knew when to put in my to-go order.

Dirty burger with fries
Casey S.

Stopped into Steamworks for dinner after a long soak at the hot springs. Our server, Russell, was very friendly and on top of making sure that my friend who has some food allergies got the right ingredients in her order. I got the curry pumpkin soup and a dirty burger with fries. The pumpkin soup was yummy and flavorful. The dirty burger was delicious. The bacon jam and dirty sauce provided the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I wish I had gotten it as a kid's burger, though. The 1/2 pounder was way too much food for me and I was only able to eat half. I also got a Dirty Goat and Stranhattan to drink. They were both just okay. A bit watered down.

Menu 3/2026
Matt S.

Due to the dynamics of kids, sometimes you can go to a restaurant and enjoy yourself or you have to run out because one of your spawn's is having a meltdown. This visit to steam works was the latter so we didn't get to try any of the adult dishes, but what we got was pretty good. The nachos are served up on a platter so they are huge and the side of salmon we ordered was large and broiled to a medium well. Nice restaurant with a cool CO feeling vibe with great waitstaff right off main.

Beer menu
Jason S.

What a incredible place. Monday night 2 Monday night football games on and the bar was completely full. A wonderful hostess got right with me and gave me a choice of a table. The beer selection is really good and the cocktails almost blew me away on the menu. Food is over the top by description and from what I had which was the Thai peanut salad - had to be one of the best I've ever had! I will have to come back here with some other people so I can try more things My server's name was Gunner and he was great with his recommendations and super kind for talking to such a boring old man :-) he recommended a couple beers to try and so of course I had too. To cap it all off I had already paid and was outside getting ready to hop on my motorcycle when I realized I didn't have my gloves. At that moment, Gunner comes running out with my gloves.

Sultan Sultan of Stoke IPA** Some like it hot burger

The wait times for a table are a little long and parking is very hard to find. However, on the weekends, you can park pretty much anywhere after 5. It's a typical pub, a lot of noice. The food is pretty good. I had a beer (Sultan IPA) and "Some like it hot" burger with Cajun fries. Had enough to share. My mom got a Cajun broil and it was really good. Just messy to eat.

Southwestern Burger
Ariana V.

Must do if you're in Durango! This spot is popular on weekends or during big games, so plan accordingly or expect a wait. We didn't wait too long and really enjoyed our meal. We started with the Bavarian pretzel, which was served with beer cheese and mustard. It was delicious and fresh! I then had the southwestern burger, which is always a favorite of mine because of the green chilis. The burgers are always cooked nicely (I order medium) and I was able to substitute a side salad, which was easily one of the best side salads I've ever had at a brewery. We are doing dry January, so no beers this time, but had a lovely hop water that they brew there and even left with a growler full. Highly recommend Steamworks for an authentic Durango experience or if you're just trying to catch a game or hangout with friends. It definitely has fun, local brewery vibes. We will definitely be back!

I see that in 2019 dogs were not allowed on the patio. Is that rule still in place? Thanks.

If I remember right, they do. They do have a strong set of rules posted on the patio, such as feeding any food to dogs on the patio is forbidden, etc.

Are you open for indoor or outdoor dining?

We have both indoor and outdoor dining available right now.

Is there any indoor seating right now (01/21)?

No, Take out only

Is the patio dog friendly?

We do not allow dogs in our full service areas, including our back patio. Jennifer may have seen a dog in the front of the restaurant in our "Bistro Waiting Area". Dogs are allowed there, but you can only have drinks as we do not serve food in that…

I just flew in to Durango with my family, and today just so happens to be my 19th wedding…read moreanniversary. We had found ourselves on a waitlist at some "fried stuff with cheese" restaurant down the street, which nothing at all looked appetizing to me so I vetoed. Got on Yelp, found 636 well rated nearby and the menu looked wonderful. Got here to a healthy amount of patrons and warm ambiance/atmosphere. Service was great despite me being an annoying tourist. I tried every dish we had plus the hot rolls, which have a buttery pimento dip. Everyone agreed that the food was spectacular. Of all the things to love about 636 (which there are many), my favorite is that when I mentioned our anniversary to the lady, she said "Oh! I'll get the anniversary confetti!" Hilarious and endearing. I love Durango already, and 636 made such a great impression. Thank you!

My wife and I made reservations at 636 Main for ourselves and two friends who came into town to…read moremeet up with us while we were traveling through Colorado. We were seated on the patio and it took quite a while for our server to greet us. Once she did, she brought water and took our drink order. She returned with our drinks and said she would be back to take our food order. We had plenty to talk about while waiting, but she repeatedly walked past our table to attend to other tables without stopping. Eventually, I had to stop her and let her know we were ready to order. My wife and our friend's wife both ordered a pasta dish with sliced steak and spinach. My friend had a salad with salmon and a bowl of soup, and I ordered the filet with potato lasagna and spinach. As the evening went on, it became breezy and chilly. I asked another server if the patio heater could be turned on, and someone came over right away to help, which we appreciated. When our meals arrived, everything looked excellent and tasted very good. The food was definitely the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, our server only stopped by our table once during the entire meal to check on us and it was lien she was in a rush to leave to table. We spent a long time waiting to see if she would ask whether we needed anything or if we were finished. It wasn't as though she had to go out of her way to reach us--she walked past our table numerous times while serving her other tables. Because of the lack of attention, I once again had to get her attention to let her know we were finished and ask for a dessert menu. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate dessert to go after she highly recommended it. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the description once I had a chance to eat it. The chocolate flavor was very mild, and the crunchy layer on the bottom was not particularly enjoyable nothing like a Dubai Chocolate. Overall, the food was excellent and deserving of praise. However, for a fine dining restaurant where both the food and drinks come at premium prices, the service fell well short of expectations. Great meals can make for a memorable evening, but attentive service is an important part of the fine dining experience, and unfortunately that was missing during our visit.
