The Google Proximity Map is slightly wrong, location is SW corner of Main St & Hwy 9. I arrived shortly before 9:00 PM on a Wednesday in August, was told the kitchen had just closed. The bartender shared a bit of the pizza roll he was having for dinner, it tasted pretty good. I managed to down pints of their Telemark IPA and Peak One Porter before the bar closed. Both were true-to-style and well-executed, though not extraordinary. The beer menu listed six beers on tap, but I saw ten tap handles - maybe they serve other beer also. The building is modern, decor typical for Colorado ski country, dining room was larger than I expected. Be advised the entire establishment is one floor above ground level. I think there was an elevator, but I took the stairs. Don’t arrive late during off-season! I think I missed out on having a better time.

I’ve been here twice, and would recommend it if you are in the area. Nice looking place with an excellent location in Frisco. Very pleasant atmosphere with an attentive and pleasant staff. The wait person that we had on each occasion had a reasonably good knowledge of the beer, and if they didn’t know the answer to a question, they said so. I appreciate the honesty as opposed to some made up response. Food was good on both occasions, but perhaps a little on the pricey side for pub style food. In the context of a ski resort area, I think this is to be expected. Bombers of several of their beers are available at reasonable prices.

Nice location, average beer, decent food. Burger was good as was potato skins. Beer was ok with the hilight being the porter. Dont try & buy a t shirt because it will take an hour. not very busy but staff seems a bit misguided or preoccupied to inner staff flirting. Food did seem a bit overpriced but it is in the middle of ski season so no real big complaints here

Stopped in here while at work up in Frisco. Large pub on the second floor. Beer was decent, but they only had about 6 choices. Food was actually pretty good, but expensive, most likely due to the location (these mountain/ski communities are retarded expensive). Service was ok, but they seemed really busy even though the place didn’t seem packed. Overall, worth a stop, I would just stick to the bar and have a couple pints.

Large impersonal 2nd floor pub, well lit but sterile. The service absolutely sucked and we were sitting at the bar. And the place was’nt even a quarter full. I can’t comment on the food cause the bartender was to preoccupiued to take our order. Not a very good value so I don’t recommend you waste your time here!

Downtown Frisco. My son and I have been here the last 3 years after climbing 14’ers. Hungry and tired as usual. The food is usually very good, with the burgers excellent. The beers are pretty standard but they do have bottles to go. Not a bad place to stop for a couple of beers and some filling food.

Was here for a wedding reception some time ago. As barleyPops noted, the weather was perfect when we were there. Couldn’t have asked for a better night. Sitting on the second floor balcony with the mountains and a sun-set in the background, it was gorgeous. Had the wheat, amber, and IPA on tap. Wheat was no good. Amber was mediocre. IPA was alright and ended up drinking quite a few of them as the night went on. Didn’t have any food. Cool place in a great location - even if the beers were sub-par.

Great amber! The worst service I have ever received! My group was insulted the second we entered the building. We were given a nasty look up and down and were told you look like bar crowd A business in a ski/snowboard town should not discriminate against skiers/snowboarders! Our food sat in the window for 40 plus minutes while the bartender went out to smoke, the manager saw our food , checked the time on the ticket and walked away, as di others! We finally got cold food, but alas no silverware. One in our group ordered a medium well burger and was disgusted to bite into an ice-cold bloody burger. We were asked several times if we were driving, and all felt like we were being threatened with a trip to jail. We asked for a comment card and were instead given a business card that included a personal email. When we asked if anyone but this assistant manager would read our comments, we were simply told no. I would advise anyone reading this to pass on this brewery!!
