Pitchers Sports Restaurant

Group of military friends and I got kicked out because of people outside who dislike the military. We visit every time we train, and never cause issues. We sung karaoke, cheered and sang along to encourage others who were singing, and played darts. One of the waitresses told us that it's because some of us were vaping, but we overheard another waitress saying she didn't like the military, and to make up something to kick us out for.

UPDATE: we were seated on the opposite side of the pool tables. None of my friends played pool. Another lie made up to try to justify kicking us out. I listed our activities, we didn't play pool. We didn't break anything. Nice try.

The food was amazing and my bartender was on top of it!! Great experience and the ladies working there made sure I felt safe and comfortable.

Update update:
Guy is still a d-bag, but the manager Kelsey was very accommodating and helpful.

Updated my review.
Here on a Monday night. Guy behind the bar short brown hair. Declared that the almost 20 people needed to get out at 1am. The closing time is 130. I lost music credits and was unable to finish my drinks. If you come here an see him behind the bar. Just go across the street. Not worth it.

Food is good, but not worth a d bag bartender. The ladies on staff are amazing.

I have no idea why anyone comes here. Free pool but horrific everything else

Have now overcharged me the 2 times I’ve been in,and we have asked for help
at our table only to be told there’s help coming. Then in 30 mins there’s still no one at the the table

Drink here, eat here, play pool here. You won't be disappointed.

Pretty nice spot for pool, sports, karaoke some nights. The beer is decent, bar food definitely a step above most. Not a huge fan of the rule that everybody playing pool has to buy something - as it sort of punishes designated drivers. But if they've had problems before I suppose it makes sense. I'd also say, try to be specific when you open a tab, I've had a few experiences where they want to combine yours with your friends etc, and very often when they do that I wind up paying for drinks that the people on my tab didn't order. Maybe just pay as you go, that's going to be my strategy going forward.

Great karaoke setup with a seemingly endless choice of songs! We also had a great time playing pool and didn’t have to wait long at all for a table to open up on a Saturday.

this is kind of a special review to write because of the history.

In the late 90s, I actually used to work at this bar, bringing entertainment once a week. After having about a three year run in the bar, it was time to move on and do other things.
My energy at the time was outgrowing the spot and the owner and I no longer saw eye to eye, and so we both moved past and moved on.

All good.

Even though all good, I never felt like going back to the bar because of that strange feeling where I just didn’t feel invited anymore so I never went back.

Fast-forward 2022.

My girlfriend and I love a good chicken wing. So we are always prancing around restaurants throughout NOCO finding the ones we like best.

She recommended Pitchers one day and I kind of frowned and just said “I don’t know if I wanna go in there,” she asked why, I gave her a little backstory and she told me to ‘get over it’ 😂 SHE WAS 💯 CORRECT.
So I did and we went.

The second we walked into the bar through the front doors. I immediately felt memories wash over me as the building has not changed since the 1990s and it really gave me a good laugh. A laugh of joy, the good times.

This place is classic, you’ve been to this bar throughout America, because if it’s well run, there’s one of these bars in every small town across the United States. Welcome to the Ft.Collins edition.

So, we walked in…
Almost like a scripted Hollywood movie, there were two seats at the bar right next to each other, empty, like they were waiting for us. For me and my girlfriend, this is our first choice of seating and we felt like we had just won the lottery.

The second we sat down, we were immediately greeted by a completely competent and good energy bartender.
We got set up with waters, our first cocktail and menus within moments.

To highlight how much of a good moment that was, they were really busy.

So onto the menu we go, and our choice was to stay within the focus of why we came, we wanted chicken wings. I wanted them straight-up, buffalo-hot, my girl likes to play with the flavors and she had the Asian buffalo rendition.

We threw our order in, again, mentioning that this was a very busy night, and our order came out in an extremely timely fashion, like there was nobody in front of us, like we were the only ones they were cooking for.

As someone who has worked at Washington Sports Bar and Grill for 15 years, I am very aware of what a good chicken wing taste like. Us Washingtons people were chicken wings snobs, and I’m fine with that 😂

The chicken wing at Pitchers, different from Washingtons, yet 10 out of 10 on point!
Meaty lil’ wings on a plate, I eat 5 and am actually getting full. You can get them with fries as well, which pairs perfectly. The buffalo sauce is 100% original to its core flavor, the tradition continues.

Pitchers, in my opinion has the best
straight-up wing in Fort Collins, Colorado.

So let’s add up the math.
The wings and french fries are on point and I give 10 out of 10.

The service is so incredibly good,
I give it an 11 out of 10.

Pitchers receives a newly reformed customer out of me, and a complete shining five star review!

Cheers to the bartenders and the staff who make this place what it is, the wings anre great and the service is better, so like I always say….

See ya at the bar.
Cheers!

Disappointed with the Experience

Visited Pitcher's in Fort Collins and was extremely disappointed. The service was terrible—Katie, our server, was inattentive, rude, and seemed completely uninterested in making the experience enjoyable. To make matters worse, the restroom was in horrible condition—dirty, with no soap available. It’s unacceptable for a restaurant to overlook such basic hygiene essentials. This place clearly lacks proper management and care. I won’t be coming back

Love this spot

No beer prices on menu!!!! Wrong. Food was terrible, but even hot when it got to the table. Will never ever go back. Too expensive for what they serve

Ordered a delivery order through doordash. I only ordered from here because Goodtimes was closed. Got the regular slider and green chili pork fries. The slider flavor and size was fine but the patty was dry. Goodtime's sliders are juicy. The green chili fries were garbage. Goodtime's green chili fries are better. I could've made something better at home if I would've had the ingredients. Never getting food from this place again. Waste of money.
