Fabulous concept! But falls a bit short. Hoping this feedback is taken constructively, as I will happily update based on improvement! First, the ambiance & indoor/outdoor rustic, family friendly layout is fabulous! Picnic tables, outdoor music, lights, corn hole/games & all the fire pits... NAILED IT! Loved it! Great musician was playing when I was there! So much fun! Next, the Foodtruck idea is awesome. But... If you want more regular customers, I'd suggest a core truck (or a kitchen if you have the bandwidth) that serves basics as well as a guest truck with their "unique" cuisines that maybe some don't care for. And I'd definitely try them out first. The one I was there for, German food, was just sub par. Frozen Oreida fries? Yuck. And they ran out of the half of what they were serving. How? How do you go to an event without proper prep? A small menu with basic burgers, pizzas, or even just a prepackaged charcuterie option or whatnot would keep me coming back, and with friends! Lastly, the pour your own beer thing is fun. But there is clearly issues with the processing. When we were there we had a pretty big group and my hubby was buying drinks for 2-4+ people at a time and the guy had to keep overriding the card as it had a limit?! Weird and annoying. Also, I get it's a beer place (tap room) but you are going to lose a lot of ladies who don't drink beer unless you up your wine game. The "cans of wine" were a good effort, but tasted horrible. I had to throw mine out and drink beer, which I'm sure was the point, but would I go back knowing this now? NOPE! Just a suggestion, try adding a couple "taps" with some basic but decent tasting, RED, WHITE, PINK wine for the ladies. Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir & a dry Rose would be the most widely accepted & drinkable. (Chards/Savs/Heavier reds are not as universally accepted as they get into specific palettes. Anyhow, and again, just a suggestion. Even box wines would be better than those cans! Overall I loved the whole idea of it! But it definitely needs a bit of tweaking on the food & wine side if you want more regulars, return customers, or for people to stay (and spend) a bit longer. But would definitely recommend as a fun place if you are only interested in drinking a few beers with friends before going out to eat. read more

Great little addition to the Monument area for beer. They have a pour your own system and had a pretty good selection of beer. Food was average/below average, so eat elsewhere in town or BYOF. read more

First time here. Neat concept, one you'll be used to if you've been to a taproom before. I had seen one but hadn't experienced it. Give them a credit card, and you're presented with a white card with your account info programmed in. Tap the card on any of the tap screens to activate your account on that tap. From there, fill your glass with as much or little of all the drinks to try out the ones that sound interesting to see which you like best. We both enjoyed a glass of the Sad Panda Stout and easily could've had another. The inside was small and cozy with a two-piece band crammed into the front corner. Doors were open, so we could listen to the band outside, which offers ample space to sit, with a patio, side yard with picnic tables (where we sat), and a back patio. Great place to hang out with our dog on a nice afternoon and watch the world go by. read more

Trails End Taproom - Beer Bar Near Me - Monument, Colorado

A fun bike-themed place at Trails End. Great outdoor seating, a fire going in winter. Many self-service taps. Start a tab with your cc, and the computer tells you where you are on each pour and how many ounces. You could taste them all if you'd like! In fact, they are holding a Girl Scout cookie beer pairing! Support the girls in green! They do have a couple wines on tap as well. The owner, Charles, is very friendly, casual, and helpful, as is the rest of his stellar staff. Yummy pizzas, grilled cheese, and beer pretzels are part of the menu of snacks. Celebrating their 1 year anniversary tonight with a rock n roll band and food trucks. read more

Trails End Taproom - Tart sour Roadhouse Brewing - Beer Bar Near Me - Monument, Colorado

Just way too expensive and not cold. Cooler than room temperature, still too warm to really enjoy it. Looks like it could be a really fun local hang out. Guy at the front was friendly and kind but the beer was way too expensive and warm! read more

Fantastic local family business that supports a ton of craft breweries from the area. Besides their self-pour beverage wall (their have 15 drink options including beers, ciders, wines and even one cocktail!). So there is something for everyone. If you don't find being your own bartender temping, you can always opt out for grabbing something from their packed fridge stocked with delicious local craft beers (with some amazing can art), craft sodas, lemonades or teas. They don't serve food (from what I heard - YET), but they do have food trucks around on the weekends and busy night. The atmosphere is fantastic and the inside space totally reminds me of some cool European lodge / hut. The building looks like it is from 18th century and the outside patio is amazing (has a view at the nearby mountains, too). What a jam! Finally, the staff crew here - Charles and Kevin (the owner) are super friendly and you can tell they run the business with their heart in it! Can't wait to be back for more! read more

Great cabin vibe. Amazing beer selections at pay per ounce price which is a great way to try out quite a few reasonably. The customer service was amazing with great suggestions, attention to ambiance, and staying connected supporting the community. They let us know the outdoor fire pit was roaring, provided blankets, added wood to the fire, and noticed when we were ready to check our despite being busy. read more

Trails End Taproom - This place is the BEST!! - Beer Bar Near Me - Monument, Colorado

What a cute little gem in my hometown. Great selection of beer on tap. I love the atmosphere in here. Even though there wasn't food available, it smelled like a nice campy fire inside. There is plenty of seating inside. In the back there is a patio with a fire pit. Overall a nice place to hang out with friends. It's in downtown Monument. Parking has not been a problem. They don't have designated parking but you can park anywhere asking the street in front or across in the shopping center parking lot. The only thing I was kind of disappointedly was the sign said craft food. We went in on a Saturday afternoon and there was no food. The girl working the counter told us they have food trucks. But not that day. Saturday afternoon would have been the perfect time for a food truck or food options since it said it on the sign. However the girl was super friendly and let us bring in food from the Coffee Cup across the street. So, not a deal breaker. We ordered food in and sat and had several drinks with friends. Overall, we will for sure be coming back to support our local hometown tap house read more
