Native Son Restaurant and Bar

Good drinks and tasty food.

My favorite bar in town. Locally owned, community oriented, classy-fun bar. Definitely the nicest liquor selection on this end of the valley, and lots of event/theme nights throughout the week. Talented and friendly bartenders, tasty and elevated menu (not your typical pub food), and a clean and well-kept space. Try their whiskey sour

Visiting Glenwood Springs this past week, we decided on a light dinner of tacos after traveling all day. I am unsure how they have a 4.5 review on their site. It was dinner time and there was only one other couple in the restaurant eating. There were a number of people in the bar area having drinks. It took at least 30 minutes for the order to come out. It was only tacos! The chicken tacos were mushy and bland. They boasted on their website delicious cocktails. The margaritas were far from delicious. There are many other restaurants in town that have great food and cocktails as we discovered the following day. Stay away from Native Son restaurant. Cool name and logo, but it stops there.

Couldn’t say enough about Chris and Burly coming through for us on an interstate drive. They had a problem taking an order over the phone with their system but they worked it out for us and got us set up with food after a ten hour day of driving.

We went back for a drink because they were so excellent and loved the ambiance. And got the barbacoa bowl which was excellent!!!!

Couldn’t recommend them more. Will be back when we’re back in Glenwood Springs, no doubt!

We got in super late in the middle of moving, and called to order because they were the only place open. Their system was down so couldn’t take an order over the phone, and Chris and Burly kept the kitchen open for us so we could eat. They were AMAZING! Total heroes. Would come back anytime. Thanks guys!!!

First night of our trip to CO and stopped in for dinner bc it was one of a very few that had great, consistent reviews for gluten free options. I had the grilled shrimp tacos and they were A-mazing! The Chipotle Aoili sauce was the bomb. Also had the chips and salsa. The only thing on the menu that was not GF was I believe the pastor tacos bc they have beer. We sat at the bar and quizzed Burley, our bartender, about the Glenwood Springs area and about the cocktails! He was awesome and has some mad mixing skills. The lime margarita was made from scratch, fresh lime muddling, etc. No mixes here! It was delicious as well as the drink we concocted for myself, lol. We were sad they don't open until early eve or we would have gone back the next day! So good!!

Before I forget, been in this valley for about a year. And the first time experience 10/10
Service : fast and friendly (Burley?)
I know I butchered your name, but thank you for the great first experience.
Every aspect of the Barbacoa bowl was delicious.
And the sangria was great.

Thank you so much.

Fun atmosphere with line dancing and karaoke on a Friday night. Food was mediocre at best. We ordered the chips and salsa and the chimichurri steak bowl. The chips were burned, the salsa was like traditional roasted tomatoes and other vegees pureed with taco seasoning, and my steak bowl was cold with rice that had been sitting so long it was partially hard. I ate less than half of it just to not be hungry. To top it off, I asked the bar manager (i guess - the guy with long curly hair) to confirm the items I ordered were gluten free, to which he rudely responded with zero empathy or compassion, “they wouldn’t be marked if they weren’t.” He also rolled his eyes at me when I ordered a club soda with lime. I shouldn’t have to explain that I’m sober because of a chronic medical condition, I’m also allergic to caramel color so I can’t have most regular sodas, I have celiac disease, and I’m allergic to wheat. My partner ordered a beer, so there’s your alcohol order, dude. 🙄

Overall, they have good gluten free options (most of the menu in fact), but the service is rude and the food isn’t that good.
