Platte River Saloon

Great little place. We've been next door for drinks in the past but decided to give this place a go and I'm so glad we did. Hoss was awesome, very welcoming and accommodating- he turned the Avs game on for us so we could watch it. Great prices on shots. 2 shots of Patron Silver were $16 total before tip. The facility itself was warm and full of history. It was a lot more quiet than its counterpart next store, which was great so we could hear the game commentary. This will be our new go to place in Fairplay.

I got a brat with onions and sauerkraut. It was good and paired well with my beer (forgot which one). I'd recommend it. The staff was great, answered questions, and made recommendations. The place was interesting with outdoor seating and several few rooms indoors (pool table, foosball table, back porch, restrooms, some living room type of area, a few TV's...).The only things we didn't like were tied to the random people there. The first was a person outside that we originally thought was going to solicit us for money while we were a captive audience there eating, but then just sat awkwardly near us and chatted with random passerbys; his two or three color dyed goatee looking like he just came from a college football game and attire reminiscent of Hugh Heffner with a mountain aura. He didn't even get a drink, he just walked up and sat around, then disappeared as magically as he appeared. Then there were a few patrons that were talking like they just came in to satisfy their case of the munchies. I was going to walk the downtown, but decided to keep on driving after this.Overall, I'd stop in again and just eat inside, probably a bit away from the bar. Everyone was super friendly, but I couldn't get over the general vibe of that time of day in the area.

Great beer, great food and great service!! We stopped in FairPlay for the afternoon, wandered in for a single drink, and had such a great time we stayed for the great food and it was exactly what we wanted. This place was perfect!!

Really enjoyed the stop on the way to Buena Vista with family of four, my husband and myself. It was pretty empty when we went, and my niece and nephew just had a blast, playing pool and eating some delicious bar food. We were served by the chef who takes a lot of pride in the food he makes, and as he should! It was delicious homemade with love. If you're looking for a spot to grab a bite, definitely stop through here.

No one was interested in waiting on anyone not sitting at the bar. Three other parties entered when we did. Hubby even went over to bar to get the staff's attention- nothing. Noticed other groups were also not waited on. We left.Park Bar next door was happy to get our business. Wings there were juicy. Great view out back and hubby loved the beef stew in bread bowl special. Check Park Bar out.

Enjoyed dinner at the Platte River Saloon! Very friendly service, eclectic vibe, outdoor seating. Good menu selection - River Tots are awesome as an app! Who doesn't love tater tots loaded with green chilis, onions, bacon and queso?!!! The Reuben is also great! A spot on choice when in Fairplay!

We've visited the restaurant three times within a month. First time we met John - GREAT GUY. He was the server and the people in the kitchen were great too! Had a Rueben (Yum!) and ...I can't remember the other dish we ordered ...but both were good and fairly priced.Second visit we met Tigger - GREAT GUY! He served us up a couple of personal pizzas and they were really good ...and can't beat the price!Third visit we met ...I don't know cause she was so rude, we weren't interested in talking with her. We sat outside because we had our pup and walked in to tell her we were there. She told us she was too busy to keep track of us outside so we'd have to let her know when we were ready to order ...huh?? When I went in to place our order, she and the other server were both on their phones ...too busy??? Anyhoo, tried to order a pizza 1/2 Hawaiian and the other half Pepperoni ...in previous visits we'd seen/heard 1/2 and 1/2 pizza orders but this woman was having nothing to do with it ...she said she couldn't do a pizza that way ...then why had we seen it done both times we'd been there previously??? okay, ordered a Hawaiian and Rueben ...we added on the Mozzy Sticks at $3 extra ...not worth the upcharge at all! The food here is great (except the mozzy sticks) and the prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely be back but hoping that we run into John or Tigger ...and not little miss rude!

Greatest watering hole in Colorado, where the kids come to hang ..............................

Loved the staff, loved the town. Thank you Hoss and Cass for making our stay memorable!!

The food was delicious!! All five in my group were very impressed! Not many beer selections but everyone found something to enjoy. After hiking DeCaLiBron we were eager for some good bar food and it did not disappoint
