For some reason I was under the impression that Surfside was another college bar (maybe I was confusing it with Bondi) but it's far from that. Turns out this bar is actually a super cool punk rock dive with great food, killer tunes, and awesome service. Throughout the night, we were checked on consistently and the servers were so friendly and cool. After some local beers and jukebox requests, I happened to notice that the menu had vegan cheese as a pizza topping. This was momentous for me, because pizza is what I miss most since going vegan, and it's rare that I'm at a bar and able to order a late night bite that suits my dietary needs. And let me tell you this pizza was off the hook. We topped our dairy free pizza with hatch green chilis and mushrooms. The crust was rustic and crispy with a dusting of flour--really impressive. I'll definitely be going back to Surfside. Next time I'll probably wear my leather jacket and prepare some more song requests for the jukebox! read more

This place used to be the best bar in town and now it's one of the worst... The new owners completely changed the identity and bullied almost all of the staff members into quitting and is super disrespectful to customers who aren't her friends. There is no reason to go here anymore read more

The new owner as of 5/2 has begun making so many changes after stating they weren't going to... and now all the staff are gone. Not sure what happened at Surfside since but it is being heavily gentrified. Do not patronize. read more

I love the people and the ambiance of this place but the pizza needs more focus. It went from having cracker thin crust with flour coating the bottom to being better but extremely doughy and undercooked. The crust is a mountain of dough. You could use 1/3 less of the dough, roll it thinner, and make a good pizza. read more

I love this place! Great people, killer pizza, crazy fun concerts!!! You haven't experienced Fort Collins until you have been to Surf!

I love surf side 7, but your female bartender tonight was out of line. Take look back at camera footage around 11:40, when I approached asking about when my order might be ready, your tattooed female bartender immediately clapped back into my face with a ridiculous amount of undeserved attitude. I've been coming here for years. I asked a simple question and was responded to with abject sarcasm and literal clapping back. This is ridiculous when I'm asking an honest question. Maybe she shouldn't have been drinking at the bar prior to this? My issues also lies with the treatment by your male bartender. He took our order while taking several others, without writing anything down, then proceeded to tell me that 'I didn't order that' when it came out incorrectly. I eventually settled On taking home a pizza that was not made correctly, and getting my money back for the other that was never made. None of this had to happen. I only wanted what I ordered, or my money back. Instead I got two under-competent workers taking out their confusion on a returning customer. Be better. I was trying to show this place off out of towners tonight. Too bad it went like that read more

Giant pizza slices, live music, and simple dive bar drinks- this place is a great simple night out without breaking the bank.

Nostalgic punk rock bar. Old school Julie box with a surprisingly clean bathroom. Bartender was super cool and the local " Harley" was fun !!! Miss the old location but this one brought back a great night of memories read more

Fort Collins is finally maybe sorta getting cool. I generally loathe coming back to this cold, sleepy, highly generic front range city, but it's where my parents live, so it's a necessary pilgrimage. The Surfside 7 has made this visit a lot less painful with $2 PBRs. It's a typically scuzzy punk rock bar with cheap wells and occasional bands--something you'd think would be a fixture in a college town, but that has been lacking in Ft. Fun for a long time. The bartenders aren't particularly friendly, but that might change if you're more than an annual regular. Thanks for dulling the pain, Surfside. read more

Surfside 7 - "Swell Food" - Pizza Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

The one place in Old Town you're not going to see frat boy pricks yelling "WOOO!" at SportsCenter highlights. If you're looking for a loaded jukebox, a couple hipsters, and the most interesting bar bathroom in Old Town, Surfside won't disappoint. Our favorite go-to bar was packed so we decided to hit SS7 on a whim. It was a Friday night and were hoping it wasn't packed. Walked right in, grabbed the corner by the window on the couch which was enough area for the 7-ish of us. I don't think there's any other bar in Fort Collins that has $2 New Belgium pints on a Friday night. Good shots - the surfer on acid and kamikaze were a bit different than I had elsewhere but were still good. I've had the pizza here before too and it's pretty damn good. A slice and a PBR for less than $5 bucks, you can't beat it. One of the best jukebox selections I've ever seen - from Frank Sinatra to ButtHole Surfers it's got everything that doesn't suck. If you're looking for the roofie-slipping, table top dancing, 21st birthday puking, douchey DJ kind of atmosphere, there's a couple places in The Square you're going to love. We'll be at Surfside, so don't wait up for us. I'll take the hipsters over that crap anytime. read more

My friends and I are enjoying an out of town experience and have been to this place 3/4 nights and on the fourth we were cut off and had just been there enjoying our night. The bartender was mean and rude. Wouldn't recommend going here. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE! The bouncer was stalking us in the bar to make us pay at 9 o'clock (we got there at 8). The emo hello kitty pizza maker took 45 minutes for 2 slices of pizza. We tried to order from her and she didnt even look at us just said "order at the bar." So... we went to the bar where there were two dudes. One of them said "dont order pizza from me," the other guy FINALLY took our order, but he was not friendly. How hard is it to get a slice around here!? I'm from Colorado and was expecting more. So disappointing. We finally got a slice and it was really good (hence the one star), but left before our second one even came out. We had already paid for it. DONT GO HERE! read more

Best bar I've ever been in!! Super friendly staff, really great pizza!! Can't wait to come back

This bar has cheap drinks and decent food. Just a good dive bar. My only issue is that we picked a song on the jukebox 7 times and it never played. We feel it's a TLC conspiracy. read more

The SS7 is a very specific genre of bar and often people don't understand this. This is one of the most punk rock bars I've ever hung out at and that's what makes it so wonderful. People come here to get away from the frat & sorority crowd and listen to loud, awful music with other poorly dressed people. If your idea of a good time is listening to Dave Matthews, wearing a North Face softshell and sandals and drinking pretentious microbrewed beers that taste of patchouli and pine needles, this is not your place. If you're looking for fellow Slayer listening, dark clothing wearing rejects of society who love $2 Pabst and greasy NYC style pizza, you're in heaven. read more

This is one of my favorite dive bars ever! It is also one of the only punk bars in FoCo! Plus they have the best jukebox and pizza in town! They often have great drink specials like the cheap beer night, which is something like $1 or $2 can of crappy beer (it's been a while, so I can't remember the price but I do remember it is a great deal). Plus they have a few great local brews on tap! The pizza is great! It is a NY style, some of the best Za east of the Mississippi, with fresh dough and fresh meat and vegetables. I usually get pepperoni and sausage, with extra cheese! It is the BOMB!!! Even if you don't want to drink and just want some great Za, this place is worth it! The folks who work here are very friendly, and do a great job! It is a cool bar to chill at. Though when they have shows it gets very loud!!! read more

I don't understand the tiki bar decor. But I really don't care. The jukebox is awesome for those that want to hear great punk and old school metal coming at their ear holes while they drink some cheap shitty beers. I don't have any piercings or tattoos so I may not be their core clientele but I love the music here and the fact that it is different than any of the other bars in town. You can come in early, grab a booth and let the Slayer song that just came on remind you that your day may have sucked but someone else's was worse and things are going to be ok. The walls are lined with a rotating gallery of paintings for purchase. And they serve pizza by the slice for cheap. It ain't the greatest but neither is your face, so get a slice and enjoy you bastard! Places like this are necessary in a town rotten with jam band concerts and bland people listening to blue grass. There is rarely a time and place for these things yet they seem to be at every turn in Fort Collins. Luckily you can wander into Surfside 7 and scrub that mess from your dome with a gulp of Olympia and a blast of Rise Against from their speakers. read more

Love me some SSS! Best lunchbox special I've ever had. Last Saturday night for $5 we got a corona (full size) and a shot of Jose Silver! That took the night to interesting places! Love the vibe and the decor. There was some awesome sassy bs written all over the walls and the trippy hallway bathroom hall is always a delight! This isn't a Tiki bar, it is much more than that. It is a funky punk neo-op weird magnet and I like it! read more

Pizza is delicious and inexpensive! I love New York style pizza which is what they serve and it's great how you can customize your slices!

It's just too love/hate. When I love it, it's the cheap beer, awesome cheap pizza, great music, awesome memories (my wedding reception was held here!). It's the whole atmosphere, even with the shit-faced patrons and the semi-rude bartenders and the turn-it-down-please jukebox. But when I hate it, it's because the jukebox is actually seriously just too loud, and the bathrooms really, really, really smell. Bad. read more

Surfside 7 has a really awesome staff, hands down. They are always smiling, full of laughter, and telling stories. The pizza is some of the best to be found anywhere in town, and it's super cheap! Quick hint: if you only want pizza and they're having a show inside with a cover, the doorman will usually let you in without paying the cover if you just beeline for the pizza and get back out quickly. I have done this a handful of times without issue. No offense to the bands playing, it just wasn't my style of music. Plenty of people were having fun grooving to the tunes in there. read more

This was a Wednesday night, so the bar wasn't too crowded. I would say it's definitely a dive bar, and it's nothing that stands out, EXCEPT FOR THE PIZZA!!!! Don't dare come here and not order a slice of pizza. You won't regret it! read more

While I may have hung up my Fort Collins hat a few years back, this is the place I miss the most. We don't take kindly to strangers and truly treat the place like a club house, but only because that is exactly what it is. If you can manage to make your way in, we are all very nice. read more

Bar food, Bar drinks, Bar fare, friendly service, Tiki decor with nothing better than Bacardi for their rums... Why open a tiki bar, when you just want to serve high balls of whiskey? The music they jam in here is cool, and so is the live music that they used to have play (I haven't been back in a couple years, so I don't know if they still do live music) but everything else, in my opinion, is pretty lacking read more

We were just visiting from out of town and this was the only place in all of old town that we actually found like-minded people with the same music tastes. Jam band music just doesn't cut it for us anymore. So this was the place we can play motorhead on the jukebox just like at our home dive bars. 5 stars read more

Vibe's great, staff is great, food is great, prices are great. No jambands or bluegrass on the jukebox, so that's great. They could have better beers on tap, but that's nitpicking. The best bar in FC. read more

Pizza, get your greasy, cheesy, messy, floppy, giant pizza!! We went on a Saturday night as the mid-point in our bar-hopping extravaganza. And it was perfect timing too... something to absorb all the booze we had in our stomachs, and something that allowed us to make it till last call! We just got the plain ol' cheese pizza. The sauce was alright (not bad, just not great), but the cheese and crust were excellent! The crust was almost undercooked, but not. It was unexplainable. They also had 5 dollar corona/tequila shot special which sounded like a good idea at the time!! But none-the-less a great deal. Overall for 4 of us our tab was 30 bucks! Not bad for a 16" pie and 2 rounds of drinks. The place was packed and I could see pinball and some other old school arcade game off in the distance. The bar had a cool tiki theme to it and the staff was friendly and prompt. The crowd was diverse and there was a guy that fell off of his bar not once, but twice and was outside asking everyone for a cigarette.... cheap drunken entertainment!! read more

We checked this place out as part of the passport program... They offered BOGO hot toddies, really very good actually. We were surprised. Saturday night this place was packed and it's your typical crowded loud bar scene. Service was okay, took awhile to get drinks. Pizza was very good though. Was told it would be over an hour for a whole pizza so we ordered a slice each. Would go back just for a slice. read more

Pizza is amazing at 1 am with a bar hopping buzz. Couldn't tell you how it is sober haha. It's too loud for me usually but I'm not really a party person. read more

Only selected one star because ZERO is not an option. The absolute worst experience and food. Made me very sad. Had heard some hype it had potential. Guess it's a late night music scene with basic bar drinks. At least be honest in your advertising..... and further more if "Hooked" only works on certain items......better tell the public. So so sad and disappointing. read more

I am with one of the other posters -- I have a love/hate with the SS7. When I love it, I am drinking cheap drinks, eating tasty pizza and kick ass cheesy fries with some rocking music and my good friends. When I hate it is an angry crowd or poor service mixed with a whopping attitude and too crowded, and yeah, the stinky bathrooms. To be fair to SS7, I know for sure they clean the bathrooms with bleach. It is an old building and I think it just smells from years of neglect. EDIT: Summer 2010, they have added a small outdoor patio. Awesome! read more

A Punk Rock bar in Colorado? Much less Fort Collins... Count me in. Every night I've spent at Surfside 7 has been awesome. The drinks are priced right and the music on the jukebox is awesome. Surfside has a waaay different scene than most of the bars in old town in a good way. Sometimes there's live music and you have to pay a cover but its not really a big deal and its usually pretty cheap. I love the patio in the back. Its one of the best outdoor bar areas in old town. The pizza is kinda meh, but i never go there to eat, but it is nice to have in there in case you get hungry late night and don't wanna leave before last call. read more

Cool dive bar and great pizza. The food was amazing, and chef and bar waitress were all friendly.

If it's late night and you want a slice of pizza while out bar hopping you could do a lot worse than this place. The bar is tiny, and if they have a band playing it's way too loud and too crowded, but the drinks are good at "normal" prices and the pizza is decent and cheap. You could do a lot worse. Great place if you like punk rock or hard rock, great if you need a late night snack or if you just want to get drunk. Not the place to take a date though or if you're looking for something upscale at all. read more

Textbook dive bar with great pizza. Glad that the new location still has the same feel as the old location with a little extra room.

The Surfside makes me feel out of place like a cheerleader at a punk rock show. The people in here don't generally seem to approve of my going-out outfits of sparkly shirts and high heels. The condescension is such that I even notice it when I'm plastered! Pizza is good, but Surfside and patrons, you're just too cool for me. read more

hmmm cheap and delicious, what more can you want?? delicious HUGE single slice sausage pizza and it was cheap lol it's not a dive bar.........they definitely turned up the crowd volume. read more

Fantastic pizza! You know the time... You are out partying with friends and all of the sudden: " I'm HUNGRY!!!" I was next door at The Vault drinking heavily and their kitchen was closed. They suggested running next door and bringing a pizza back. Who does that? That is how I was introduced to Surfside. The pizza was fantastic and inexpensive. I had another drink while waiting for it to bake. You're right, Colleen, not particularly friendly bartenders, but who cares when you are in there for a food fix! He did make me a damn good gin and tonic though! Thanks for the pie, Surfside! read more

Surfside 7 is an eclectic mix of punk rock & Hawaiian-Tiki surf. Local art adorns the walls and adds to its unique character. Crazy huge sized wooden tiki gods look over you as they stare down from the walls. Yes, a straw hut IS the bar and it'll most likely be the first thing you see when you walk in. You have the choice of sitting out back under some lattice work. There's a modest supply of good beers on tap and liquor behind the bar. The jukebox is unique mostly filled with punk rock music turned up loud like NoFX or Iggy Pop but you'll also get an occasional Otis Redding in there so it's an unusual mix. This place is for a younger crowd mostly college age. If you get hungry they do have NY style foldable pizza served as a pie or by the slice and heated quickly. It's surprisingly tasty and a perfect compliment to a couple beers. Will this place become my usual hangout? Probably not, but it does provide a young and fun atmosphere. read more

It's a great punk rock bar that serves great pizza. My boyfriend is obsessed with the place, it's pretty much the only bar we'll visit while in Fort Collins. The pizza comes with any type of toppings you can think of, and they serve slices late into the night so it's great hangover-preventative food. They have some great live bands come into town, mostly punk rock and the people who come to see the shows are mostly punk too, so if that's not your scene then be forewarned. The people do tend to be somewhat elitists, but don't all punk rockers? They're the original old school kids. The bathrooms are clean and the walls are interestingly decorated so you're never bored. Only downside is it's a one-holer for the ladies. So the line might be long. I anticipate having to go, so I have time to wait in line before I make a puddle where I'm standing. Drinks are cheap, pours are heavy, so what more could you really want? read more
