Canyon Tavern

What a surprising visit. First off, this is, as others have said, a local bar. People walked in and the bartender knew their names. She also knew their preferences for IPAs and cigarettes.I got a French Dip and tater tots. Both were hot, fresh, and delicious. I ordered an iced tea, but their selection of local and craft beers is extensive.They have free wi-fi, tons of tvs for watching sports, and a great view of the canyon. It's no frills, but there's also nothing to complain about.Not being a local I felt a bit apprehensive, especially sitting at the bar on a Saturday to watch college football. But my discomfort was solely my own as everyone was smiling and chatted freely with me and others. If you're taking a scenic drive through the canyon I'd highly recommend this convenient stop as a place to get a bite, enjoy the views, and make sure you've downloaded your map to your next stop along the winding roads.

A buddy of mine lives in Coal Creek Canyon and loved to go to this bar near his home. We went with him and his wife and had a great time. It is a local bar, frequented by locals, so I understand if a stranger might not feel welcomed when they come in. The vibe in the bar is one of a "mountain bar" that's a local watering hole. The food was worth ordering and the people around us were friendly... maybe because I was within one of the locals? If you're in the area and see it while driving down 72, don't hesitate to stop in. You might just become the next regular.

Incredible bar and grill in the scenic Rocky Mountains. We came in starving after a round at a nearby disc golf course. The staff was affectionate and got us drinks and orders immediately. As we waited for our food, we were able to take in the amazing setting that this restaurant has. The views of local nature are breathtaking and the personality inside the bar is amazing too. The food was equally as impressive. I was able to try a couple different flavors of wings, chicken tenders, and fries, and they were all great. My brother absolutely loved his French dip sandwich. We already decided we're going back anytime we play that course.

Great mountain local tavern, reminds me of the Coal Creek Inn from many years ago. Typical woodsie ambiance with doggo friendly patio and killer views. Servers have been consistently good, personable and attentive. The big surprise was how good the food has been, ordered the cheesesteak and it was completely legit, not cheap but big enough to feed two.

The food is horrible. Ordered chicken strips and they came out looking burned. They really weren't they just don't change the oil often enough. The food is overpriced. Service is horrible. The local drunks make the place unwelcoming. The beer is cold so that's a plus.

Perfect stop for after a big hike! They have veggie burgers for an additional $3+, but they have them! I got the bbq veggie burger with cheddar - I think they forgot the crispy onions but it was flavorful. I do wish the bun was toasted with a little more bbq sauce but overall was tasty. My boyfriend enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs, but he said some more noodles would've been good for the generous amount of sauce. He said it was tasty though - especially the garlic bread. The server was super friendly, made a pot of fresh coffee for me, and he always made sure our water was full. Great neighborhood spot!

Service is always exceptional- location is beautiful- vibe is fun and inclusive. Food is always prepared well with great specials. Great place to watch sports or unwind on the patio. One of my favorite places for sure.

John the bar tend was the funniest man i've ever seen. Had a blast watching Sunday football here. amazing beer and atmosphere.

New owners and the food is amazing! Tried the lamb shank with mash potatoes and it was very very good. No more fried everything here and the portions are big.

Really impressed with the turnaround of food quality under the new owners. Smoked lamb and Bangers and mash were cooked really well and had nice flavors. Brittany did a great job serving. Keep up the good work!
