The Best Brewpubs in Colorado Springs

Oskar Blues - Colorado Springs

★★★★☆ 4.2 (145) • $$

"Came in right after I landed in Colorado Springs, parking was easy to find (4:30pm on a Monday however). Chill bar decor and fun vibes. I had their French dip sandwich and loaded fries with pretzel appetizer.Let me tell you. The French dip sandwich, 5 stars. Fantastic. Tender meat and great flavor. The dip had great flavor and the horseradish sauce on the side was great! The bread was soft and had a good bounce and absorbed the juice nicely! Honestly, French dip is one of my go to sandwiches and this was on the top tier level of how great this was. Loaded fries were good! I would say 4 stars for the fries, the cheese sauce was good but tasted too....fake? I dunno how else to explain it. The pretzel was great, soft and fluffy and great amount of salt. The dipping sauce, eh, just alright. I think a homemade beer mustard sauce would be better than the honey mustard sauce provided, and the cheese is the same as the loaded fries.Overall, great fast service and great food!Can't complain and would love to come back!"

Colorado Mountain Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (914) • $$

"One time review -- stopped in for a bite and was loving it from the get go. Great, open atmosphere with two levels for seating. We sat at the bar since it was midday and the service was spot on! Fish and chips for both of us.... Couldn't have asked for better! Both were perfectly done and fries tasted fresh! Tartar sauce tasted like it was mixed onsite and not from a bottle. If we come through here again, I'll give it another try and update the review. Always tricky to give these spots 5 stars off one visit. If I have the same experience 2 times in a row.... It'll earn the 5 stars."

Lariat Lodge Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (592) • $$

"Sat at the warm, cozy bar and they put on the football game we wanted to see! The food was extremely good. I had an Octoberfest spaetzle special with a side house salad. The salad was sooooo good I could have eaten an entire large mixing bowl! Spring mix with dried beet sprinkles, tiny sweet marinated yellow peppers and a KILLER house made green goddess dressing. Ou server behind the bar, Kaitlin, was super attentive, and by her looks, could be Kat Timpf's sister. Will definitely be returning!"

Ratio Beerworks

★★★★☆ 4 (12) • $$

"There's a new ratio location in town, and I'm excited to try more of the beers they have to offer! This location has a more extensive menu compared to the one in RiNo, I love the increased variety in offering! I've been to their location in RiNo previously and this location looks aesthetically similar, but there's a whole lot more going on! They have a food truck on site everyday, lots of merch available and some more indoor seating compared to the RiNo location! They're gearing up for more events and live music here in the future so this location will be a good one to check out. Also, since it's winter, they have heaters next to every table which does help a bit if you can't find a seat inside. Since I live in the neighborhood, I will definitely be stopping by often to try the different beers they have on tap. The staff is quick and efficient with service and are more than willing to answer any questions you may have about their beers. For now at least, there's always street parking in the block around the brewery but this may get trickier as it grows in popularity as there will be multiple apartment complexes around that will use the street parking. This is not a brewery to skip and there's a different vibe here so if you're a fan of ratio's beers I'd definitely recommend a trip down to the overland neighborhood to visit their newest location."

Barrels & Bottles Brewery at Camp George West

★★★★★ 4.7 (32)

"Great beer. Even better music. But even if this sign is legal: "kids must be seated at all times" it's too strict and just a vibe killer"

BrewDog

★★★★☆ 3.5 (43) • $$

"Alright ya'll. I finally got the All You Can Eat wings at Brewdog and man was it good! You will need to make a reservation for Wing Wednesday so do that first. The 90-minute timer starts after ordering the first plate of wings. Service was EXCELLENT, from host to table, and Cameron made it feel like a warm hug of welcome. I started with a birria taco which was OK. The wings are finger-licking good, had just the right amount of crispy crunch, served hot, and were some of the best flavors I've ever tried. I got the Korean Bbq sauce, adobo, and buffalo and made me feel like Remi from Ratatouille. There are games and a photo booth. Indoor seating, high tops, and patio tables outside. I liked the small waiting lounge area at the entrance, poster signs, and portraits along the walls. Off-street parking only can be tricky but a space will free up eventually."

Denver Beer - Littleton

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"Great service and with a wide variety of their own beers. Cool interior vibe with some good food choices - brisket tacos were great, fries were done well. I was there on a cooler night, but the outdoor spaces looked pretty great. It's on the "quieter" end of Littleton's main drag, so hanging out seems even more appropriate."

Voodoo Brewing -Colorado Springs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (63)

"Great selection of local IPAs. The service was on point - maybe it's because we were the only ones there (they just opened up when we showed up) but nonetheless the service was great. The music selection was a little bit different but I guess it's whoever is the DJ on that shift."

Ivywild School

★★★★☆ 4.1 (255) • $$

"It's an old school that now has a few restaurants inside. I went with the pizza and a flight from Bristol Brewing. Detroit style was great. The place is so cool. Clean and the staff is very nice. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. I definitely recommend coming here after Garden of the Gods."

Single Barrel Eatery And Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3 (121)

"Saturday night we decided to check this place out, the place is beautiful and the service is great. However, I am not sure what was going on that night that people were in some moods. Within two hours or less three fight broke out. I was quite disappointed about that. I must say that the staff was on point when it came to braking the fights and getting rid of the BOYS who were fighting. Overall the place is nice but I am not sure if I'll visit again. At least not at night time. Perhaps the place has a different vibe or crowd during the day."

Trinity Brewing

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (702) • $$

"French. Dip. Sandwich. Best I've ever had. I also so appreciate a great place on the northwest side totally worth going to. The outside seating has a perfect view of the mountains. The book arch is inspiring. The beer is fine."

Bent Barley Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (64)

"I've been coming here for a few years, and have never been let down. I work here with my laptop and a notebook and it's excellent for that purpose as well. The bartenders are all fantastic, and really foster the right balance of professional and laid-back attitudes. Excellent on their part. The beer is almost always excellent. The Flagships are all great (my favorite is the Nitro Dry Irish Stout), and the seasonal taps are almost all winner too! Honestly the ones I haven't liked have almost uniformly been because of personal preference. Theres only been one single beer that I've had here that was truly not very good. In several years and so many beers, that's excellent. The space is quite open and mostly high-tops. There is a small section of 3-4 tables of low-tops though. Always always clean. I've never been here and noticed cleanliness issues. You can also order food and have it delivered here, or bring your own! Which is great! Overall excellent spot that I've recommended to so many people, but never quite got around to leaving a review until now. Highly recommend!"

Mash Mechanix Brewing

★★★★★ 4.6 (27) • $$

"I love the atmosphere at this place! Plenty of drinks for everyone, complimentary popcorn and a great place to hangout with friends. The bartenders are attentive and we got everything we wanted quickly."

Reservoir Brewing

★★★★★ 4.9 (22)

"Great selection of beers for Pueblo West. Staff was friendly and they food was great. Love their wide selection of beers on tap as well as a full bar of you aren't a beer drinker. This is a place you should definitely try if you're new to the area."

Brass Brewing

★★★★★ 4.6 (52) • $$

"Such a fun little brewery! Gorgeous in doors, very clean and socially distanced tables. Fantastic selection of beers! I had the watermelon sour and my boyfriend got the classic hazy IPA. Both drinks were delicious and refreshing! They had bingo night when we got there, the folks were so so friendly. Lovely service and experience, would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a chill night out!"

Breckenridge Brewery & Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"Breckenridge Brewery is iconic. They've been around for a long time and for good reason. It feels more restaurant than Brewery and that's a good thing. They have great food. My dining partner loved their fish and fresh veggies. I had the meatloaf at our server's recommendation and it was really good. The best meatloaf ever....? It didn't hit that mark, but I'd happily order it again. It's a fun family friendly spot with good food and a great beer list. I'd happily return. September 2024"

Whistle Pig Brewing

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"4.5 stars I stopped by with my partner and baby and a group of friends last Friday for their soft opening.We were greeted by super friendly faces who were super accommodating.My husband felt a little weird about taking our 8 month old to a brewery but everyone made us feel super comfortable.We started the night with a flight so that we could taste a couple of different beers before committing.I tried two ipas that were pretty good (as someone who doesn't enjoy IPAs).My husband decided on a beer (can't remember the name) and I drank the rest of the flight. The dark tower was pretty solid.Our friends ordered ciders which they enjoyed. They mentioned one tasted just like apple juice and needed a bit more of a punch but I didn't try them.The owner stopped by to offer a tour. He was incredibly kind and gracious and made me feel welcomed.I will definitely be making this spot a regular weekend stop."

Wild Blue Yonder Brewing

★★★★☆ 4 (318) • $$

"Blue Yonder is hands down one of our favorite spots in town--we're here almost weekly, sometimes more! Whether it's a casual night out or a local event, this place always delivers a fantastic experience.The food is consistently great, from the smoked wings (a must-try) to their juicy burgers and fresh salads. No matter what we order, the quality and flavor never disappoint. And let's not forget the drinks, which are always served with a smile, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.One of the things we love most about Blue Yonder is its year-round appeal. In the winter, the cozy indoor space is perfect for gathering with friends, and in the summer, the outdoor patio is simply unbeatable. There's nothing better than enjoying a meal and a drink outside on a warm evening.Whether you're a local or just passing through, Blue Yonder is a place that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend!"

Colorado Mountain Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (682) • $$

"The truffle fries are to die for! You must try them! I'd return here if in town specifically to eat those! Ha! Our server was friendly, attentive and on top of things. I had a cup of the bison chili which was pretty good, but I swear nothing can compare to those awesome fries! Beautiful views from the restaurant and right behind the movie theatre, and nearby to Great Wolf lodge. Go order those truffle fries now people, they are so addicting!"

Amicas Pizza & Microbrewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (645) • $$

"Z is the best bartender in the world. Periodt. Food was also good but she made it the best ever. Xoxo"

Dillon Dam Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"The ale soup is absolutely fantastic! If you're a fan of French onion soup, this is a must-try."

A Bit Twisted Brewpub & BBQ

★★★★★ 4.7 (124) • $$

"Tucked away in a small strip mall is this brewpub. It's definitely on the small unpretentious side -- which is refreshing. Hubby enjoyed his Ribs hazy ipa. Little disappointed there weren't offerings for this non-beer drinker other than sodas.We shared the brisket/pork platter served with baked beans and potato salad. It was verr"

OCC Brewing

★★★★☆ 4 (116) • $$

"I have came here each time I visit the Springs area and love it every time! The atmosphere is lively and fun, service has always been wonderful and the food is wonderful. This time I decided to try the chicken fried duck, and it was phenomenal! However, if you have never had duck before, you should know that duck is greasy, so don't be surprised if it's a bit greasy, but that's normal. The greens were very good too. A little spicy, but I loved it! Overall, this is a fun place to hang out, enjoy great food and have a few beers. Also, if the weather is nice be sure to sit on the roof!"

Comet Brews

★★★★★ 4.5 (16)

"Excellent vibes, intimate space, great bartender, delicious brews, & the BEST music. New favorite bar! Come check this place out for yourself!"

Highside Brewing - Fairplay

★★★★☆ 3.9 (12)

"Super friendly bartender named Josh. Quesadilla totally hit the spot. My husband had the turkey sandwich and said the meat was really good. We've been back and sat outside. Love that they are dog friendly but we always leave ours in the car."

Raices Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.5 (110) • $$

"Very cool vibe... tasty beers and delicious empanadas. The bar tender was fantastic and helped us with our beer and food choices"

Father & Sons Tap Room & Brewery

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"A great place for craft beer with a very comfortable modern ambience.They have the best beer-tender in town Josh. They always have great Stout, IPAs and everything in between. And as a bonus, the beer is very affordable unlike a lot of other places. Its my new place to hang."

The Brew Hut

★★★★★ 4.9 (130) • $$

"BREW HUT is located inside the building of the dry dock brewing company.Jeff, and Steve We're working there the day that I went again, they answered a lot of questions for me. They also let me know that they do cheese classes as well as other classes.. If you want to make your own beer wine or cheese this is the place to go I cannot believe all the inventory.I WOULD recommend."

Spice Trade Brewery & Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (273) • $$

"Came here for a little date night and dined on the patio. It was a little chilly, hoping they use the fire pit and other heaters when it's consistently chilly out. Loved the beer selection and had a flight as well as the beet salad. My partner had the spatzel and burger. My beet salad was lovely, I would love to have a goat cheese option as it's way better than feta in my Yelpy opinion. The burger was good, not out of this world and the spatzel was pretty good, just needed salt. Overall I like this place a lot, the food I've had here has been good, 8/10 pm execution and flavor, and love the vibes in general. Definitely will be a repeat customer and try through the menu to find out favorites."

World’s End Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (93)

"Came here with the family while passing through Cañon City. The southwest steak salad was flavorful. The chicken panini was a favorite. My sister was a bit let down by the grilled cheese and my mom mentioned the bun of her chili dog was tough and chewy like maybe it had been microwaved. But everything else was enjoyable! Beers were good. The Fairy Dust beer was glittery?! A nice surprise. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Interesting, fun interior."

Shamrock Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.1 (540) • $$

"We were passing through town and stopped for lunch. The server was enthusiastic and informative and gave what felt like an honest answer when we asked for recommendations. We had the fish and chips lunch and a chicken salad. Servings were good-sized and pricing was good. It has a definite brewpub kind of vibe, but not the standard hoppy odor (in case that's a thing for you). Food came out fast and hot and we enjoyed our meals."

JAKs Taproom Dublin

★★★★☆ 4.2 (16)

"Finally got out to this location since we live on the Westside of town. I had been to the other Jaks in Peyton before. They both have a great beer selection, good atmosphere & customer service. We told the bartender we want a Jaks on the westside of Colorado Springs!"

6 and 40 Brewery

★★★★★ 4.6 (17)

"I went here for my first time 2 days ago. What a cool freakin place. They had a little pot luck going on where I sampled the most delicious peppermint and chocolate cookies I've ever shoved into my pie hole. Yeah, there was no grace or manners being applied as I made noises of sheer delight while I stuffed one after another of these amazing cookies into my talk box. Right in front of crying kids as I blocked their access to said cookies and yelled, "they're so delicious" as one after another entered my mouth and made their way to my tum tum. Anyway, I'm kidding about the kids of course. The beer here is fantastic. I tried their seltzer, cider ale and German Lager. So good. The ambiance is freakin dope. It looks like a car guys garage with posters and placards of old cars and so many other cool photos and pics. The staff is nice as can be, my buddy knew the owners so they spent a little time talking to us. Very nice folks. It's kind of off the beaten path but so worth the trip."

Grist Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.7 (6)

"Sterling Ranch is lucky to have Grist move into the neighborhood! Son and I checked it out tonight as our last stop on our mini brew pub tour. Heidi was a delightful hostess, and made us feel comfortable as we closed the place down. They'll be having football games on, and live music, so things are looking great here!"

Platt Park Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.1 (198) • $$

"Food was really good for a brewery! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and loved the buffalo chicken wrap. The kids grilled cheese was delish as well and came with a capri sun (90s nostalgia!). I almost wanted to order a kids meal myself. They have a nice pet friendly patio and bonus, Sweet Cow, is right across the street. I can't speak for the beers here since no one in our group tried them ."
