Boards & Barrels Bistro & Whiskey House

The absolute best dining experience. The food is perfection and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is beautiful with amazing views of the mighty Piles Peak. I cant wait to go back! My new favorite for sure! 😍

Server tim was rude. My 20 yr old disabled son has scars on arms from mental health issues. He sd, first thing, bad accident huh? Didn’t even get that he had no business saying that. Didn’t get order right,or drinks. Had to flag others down to get service and bill. Food wasn’t good. Crab cakes weren’t cooked and should have been fryed crispy. Aweful sauce spicy on it. Cassulle had 2small pieces of sausage with 2drum sticks, was too spicy to eat. They didnt even have a scotch that was supposed to be on the scotch flight. Worst food and service. Menus different than website. Don’t waste your time and money

This is a fantastic addition to Woodland Park's restaurant scene! From the crackling fireplace to the attentive staff to the intimate setting, everything was perfection. The raspberry lemon drop cocktail was so tasty, and the Abe Froman charcuterie board was so big it could have been a meal for 2 on its own-- the pickled veggies were a wonderful relief to the meats and cheeses.

Hubby and I both decided to try the elk medallions with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and mushroom cream gravy-- I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the most tender and perfectly cooked pieces of meat we've ever had anywhere in this state, and we've been to many, many fine dining restaurants that specialize in steaks and game meats. As much as we wanted to try the desserts, we were just too stuffed with amazing food to attempt it!

Thankfully, this hidden gem is much closer to our rural area than Colorado Springs, so we don't have to go all the way down the mountain to get a piece of subpar steak at one of the chain steakhouses for $10-15 more plus the cost of gas. We'll definitely be back!

There are a lot of choices in Woodland Park. This place is a notch above and not like any other. Atmosphere is classic without being stuffy. Food choices are wide. Several classics with just a twist to be different without making them odd. Be sure and have the cherry smoked old fashion. Service is perfect and a wide range of price points. An outstanding choice all around if you are looking for upscale food with a warm and inviting local feel.

Even on a Tuesday, this place is packed, so words to the wise: make reservations or plan to sit at the bar. (It seats 6-7 at most.) The great part of sitting at the bar (which we did. because I'm not always wise) is that you get to watch Tim (the bartender) in his natural habitat. He is fantastic!! Probably the #1 thing I talk about in reviews is "the hustle." Not the dance. I'm talking about do they care about their job? Do they get sh*t done?? Yes, and yes! Tim zooms around while talking, making mixed drinks, and taking orders. 👏🏼
We also got to chat with the owner and she taught us all about the terracotta mugs used for the Mexican margaritas. So interesting!
All in all, the food, service, and ambiance was amazing. An easy 5 star review.

Let me begin by saying I never remember to review anywhere. I’m almost never passionate enough to get on the internet and let strangers know my thoughts, but y’all gotta know my thoughts here. This is the most amazing restaurant I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was immaculate. My raspberry lemon drop was phenomenal. We had the butternut squash flatbread and it was heavenly. Beautiful and delicious. The Farmer’s Board (seasonal, I believe) was excellent. I tried several things I wouldn’t have many other places and my only regret is not having a bigger stomach with more room for more food. We also split the pumpkin ravioli special for the evening, and from the bottom of my heart, my life will never be the same. It was the most amazing thing I have ever had the privilege to eat. I will dream about it for the rest of my life. Ended with the best cosmo I’ve ever had and a check that felt criminally inexpensive for the quality of everything we enjoyed. The owner, chef, bartender, and our adorable server were so magical and I cannot wait until I can visit again. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my 5th time visiting. Atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Service is always top notch. Drinks are on point and the food is INCREDIBLE! I love that the menu is classic things you will recognize with a twist. Dave and the kitchen staff have a way of making me LOVE all of the foods I normally don’t like. He is truly a culinary genius and provides top notch, elevated food at a good price. The entire staff are always kind and attentive and genuinely care that you have a wonderful experience when you visit. 1000/10 recommend. If you ever get a chance, try the pumpkin ravioli. It is to die for!

We absolutely love this place. It’s only improved since it opened. The staff is friendly, the drinks are great and we haven’t had a dish we haven’t liked. Carrie always checks on every table to see how they are doing. Thanks for bringing this dining experience to Woodland Park.

I decided to try the brunch menu today that changes each month. I will say there's something there for everyone. Sweet Potato Hash & Eggs with Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes hit the spot. My server was MacKenzie. She was there if I needed anything.
