16 Best Pubs in Fort Collins

“The Crown Pub is one of our go-to restaurants in FoCo. The food is great, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. Our kids regularly ask to go there for special occasions.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food, atmosphere and staff are top notch. I’ll definitely be back and if you’ve never been - what are you waiting for?! 😋😎“

“The dunkel was good. The root beer was tasty too.“

“Couldn’t get into hotel yet and wanted some lunch. My husband and mother in law were taken aback when we were driving into a golf course. I went in to check and it was good to go. Great pub food! I enjoyed a brat that was just yummy. Hamburgers, blts and green chili were all enjoyed by the family. The view of the golf course was beautiful, and they had a nice porch where u could hangout!!“

“So it was a little odd. At first, the hostess tried to seed us at the furthest table in the back with no people, practically in the alley. And we said hey can we have one of those tables up front? She said well those servers are overburdened and it will be slower. Which was fine with us. However, we got our drinks quickly and the food came fairly quickly too. My lobster roll was great as were the brussel sprouts.“

“The best gluten free food! The people were also so nice! Chef is amazing! We will be back! Our picky non gluten free people even loved it!“

“Whiskey neat, old fashions, Irish“

“Solid pub fare, but the standout was the service and the ciders. Liam, the GM, was fantastic. He was on his own at the bar, but didn't fail to greet us with a smile when we came in, and was quick to help us whenever we approached the bar. Scrumpy's is the home of Summit Ciders, and theirs are fantastic. There really is something for every palate. Liam convinced us (it didn't take much) to try a flight of all 16 ciders for $28, which is a great value as a separate flight of 8 is $17. Each taster is good for several sips, and since we were heading back home to SD, we didn't need any other drink with our meal. We took several ciders home with us, and if they didn't have any 4-packs left they were able to provide a choice of growlers or growlettes. Liam was again amazing, juggling our cider order while helping other customers, and still helped us bring some of our ciders to our car. He even threw in a couple of cute stickers with their hedgehog logo, and some BOGO cocktail cards. We'll definitely have to try their cider based cocktails when we inevitably return.“

“The bar keep here deserves a standing ovation. This dude is an absolute machine — moving nonstop for over an hour, serving everyone at the bar, filling tickets, cleaning, running dishes, clearing glasses, prepping for servers — without missing a single beat. It’s wild to watch. He’s got that old-school pride in the craft, handling business with total precision and speed.

He pours beer perfectly — none of that “too much foam, not enough beer” nonsense — just perfect head every time, cold glass, clean prep, spotless station. It’s like watching someone run a symphony behind the bar.

Also, pro tip: the happy hour wings are worth destroying, skip the fried gouda, and just enjoy the vibe. Between the energy, the beer selection, and that bar keep, this place is an easy 5/5.“

“Had an amazing time at the bar joking around with staff and patrons. Everyone seemed to know each other and were very welcoming. Great prices. Loved the whiskey Mexican coffee on tap. Best bacon wrapped jalapenos I've ever had. Definitely get the Pint O Bacon.“

“For over 20 years now, LJs has been a regular hangout for me. I’ve met many people there and look forward to the next 20. (If Deano can still hang with us at 86 yo, then so can I!!) Their food menu has a nice variety and daily specials are always well done. This pub truly emanates a feeling of family. It’s amazing how many long-term employees are there, which is a direct reflection of the ownership and managers caring for their staff and customers. If you’ve never been to LJs or you’re just visiting FC, please stop in and join us for a pint! Cheers and Slainte!!“

“First time at Fort Collins and mu husband want to try some different beer. We stopped for lunch. I had great chicken tenders! My husband did a sampling of 4 flight beers. Enjoyed all 4! He had the burnt end sandwich with sweet potato fries. Meal was great and the service was wonderful! Thank you!“

“Best venue in northern Colorado!“

“Home away from home Nadia is the best!“

“Laid back and relaxed! Great drink specials and constant service. You will not go thirsty at High Point.“

“Cheese curds. Little balls of heaven. Very reasonable prices! Got two orders of fries like an hour apart and both were delicious! Food is consistent. Got them quick too! Boy. Were they good. Just in between a steak fry and regular fry. Soft inside, crispy outside. Perfectly seasoned too!“
