Amazing and beautiful building, and some of the best beers we had on our week long trip through the mountains! The honey ginger beer is a must-try! Food was great classic brewery food, we had the chicken sandwich and the corn beef sandwich with fries. Staff were so nice and efficient and collaborative! Felt like a fine dining experience because we had 3 wonderful people helping us out throughout the evening. We also took some beer home to enjoy!Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. There are stairs out front to get inside.

Comically rude bartender and I was there in the middle of the day when it wasn’t busy. There are a lot of annoying entitled people in Telluride but I’m not one of them so I really just don’t get what the attitude was about. Bartender (bar manager?) also berated a member of the staff in front of me.

This place did not disappoint. Friendly service, lovely calm professional atmosphere, and my waiter was so helpful and suggested the best bacon cheeseburger burger I've had in a long time! You must try when in Telluride.

Very crowded when we went. Worth waiting if you have to but there are many options on Telluride. We enjoyed the Bison Burger and the Elk Bolognese with Truffle Fries.Parking: Park at the garage a couple of blocks away. Get a Lyft or shuttle service anywhere in Telluride.

Change of ownership? Yikes!!!Came here every year last four years. Food was great. Last night steak was dry, overcooked, and covered in green garnish. Burger was dry, overcooked and small (the patty was small). Beers were mediocre at best, flat. Good luck.

Absolutely terrible experience, First time at this restaurant came in to order some food and drinks and decided to sit at the bar with my girlfriend. Bartender was extremely rude, disrespectful, and also short. My girlfriend ordered the chicken tenders and I ordered a burger. However, I informed the bartender that I am allergic to eggs and please make sure there’s no aïoli or anything that contains egg on burger, We probably waited for about 35 minutes and he brings our food out, brought mine out without any bread rather than coming and talking to me and telling me that the bread has eggs so that I could order something different so I could eat with my girlfriend he got frustrated grab my plate for me and took it to the back and told me to look for something different. I waited for my girlfriend to finish eating and grabbed a check and left will not be going back…

This was our first stop in town. Unfortunately was greeted with terrible service, snarky remarks, and rude encounters. After making a statement (privately with my table) about how QR code ordering means the service will lack (its 2024...I think we all feel this way) a server walking by condescendingly said "ok great. You can make a review about it". I'm a server, so was immediately thrown off by this encounter. That met with many other condescending remarks from servers throughout our meal... we couldn't eat fast enough to get out of there. The saving grace of this place was the chef who came out to check on us and the food. That said, wouldn't make this your first stop or stop at all. Ps. Incredibly pricey for bar food...

Long waits in the evening. I recommend making reservations in advance. Staff was friendly and offered us water while we waited for our table. Inside on a busy day, it can be very loud, so it's hard to have conversations at the table. Food and service were good, but prices are a bit on the high side given its average flavor. My partner enjoyed the fish with the upgraded truffle fries and the jalapeño slaw. I had the elk bologenese, which was a good portion but not enough meat. It tasted like a regular spaghetti plate. I also wish it was served with some french bread. Overall, it was very tasty and good service.
