Stopped in for dinner back in May and was excited at first to see the selection available. Unfortunately, a big selection sometimes means only average beer. And this was the case. I was happy they had a Kolsch on tap but after my first sip there was definitely something wrong. It had a distinct sour after-taste. Thinking maybe the Kolsch wasn’t a big mover and it had gone bad in the keg, I ordered a pale ale next - a definite crowd favorite. Nope, same problem. Either they don’t keep their beer lines clean or they have other, more serious problems keeping batches from spoiling. As for the food, it wasn’t bad but I agree it tried to be a little more upscale than you would expect from a place like this. There’s nothing wrong with a brewpub trying to be a little more fancy than your basic pub but the food quality didn’t match the price. I have returned to the Springs a few times since and haven’t had the urge to go back. It’s too bad because it looks like it could really be a nice place. Just work on the beer and food.

Nice Restaurant/Brewpub. The service was good as was the food. The beer was okay, nothing major. I liked the IPA most. I would say this is a good place to go for dinner, not really a pub.

Stopped in for a couple of pints on a Saturday evening - Memorial day weekend 2009. Nice layout to the bar, tables and big bar on the ground floor, billiards and other fun on the second floor. Reminded me a lot of Wynkoop in Denver, in turns out this is a Hickenlooper joint as well. They had about 6-7 beers on tap, with two casks featured. I had the IPA (on cask) and Amber, and both were above average. Sat at the bar, and had good service from the bartender, who was also quite friendly. Only food we had was the calamari appetizer, and it was fine. Good scene, nice place to have a pint.

Located in downtown Colorado Springs. Beers on tap downstairs and upstairs. Usually 7-8 beers on tap. No guest beers on tap. Service is usually very good. Dining area with bar downstairs, and bar with several pool tables upstairs. Good food. Good value overall.

Food was the main stay of this place, although the beers were good. Was very very busy the two nights we went in there. Def will go back if I’m in town.

Large and well lit. Strange stuff on the walls. The beer selection is decent with about 8 choices most of them average but a couple stand outs ( Peated Porter and IPA). Food was’nt bad but like a lot of places they try to foo foo it up too much. The srevice was good. Worth visiting if you are in Colorado Spgs.

Engaging, friendly atmosphere, original art on the walls to peruse. Attentive, considerate staff. Beer was just this side of fair but the food was stand-out well-crafted, inspiring. A smoking deal, to boot.

I like this place and have been visiting here since day 1. Always a good and varied selection of beers with 2-3 on cask. The beers are always fresh and tasty but seldom off the chart in style. The food is always good and a great place to bring your kids too. A good place to visit when in CO Sprgs.

We were at another pub when someone told us the food was really good here, they were dead on. They had just revamped the menu 4 days prior and it was great. The salads were big and tasty, the beers were true to there description and the service was awesome. We were only in Colo Sprg for 2 days, but we ate here both of them. This is a Must Stop.

Nice interior, good food, and friendly staff. Wish I tried the sampler when I was there rather than the few extra mugs of Peated Porter, but there you go.
