    After a long day of recreating, mountain, biking, hiking, and taking in the sites, we rode our bikes to Animas Brewing Company. Great ride, not too busy, and had a great hazy, great ambiance and service. Come and have a cool down beer after a nice day of outdoor activity at Animas Brewing Company.

    Views are fantastic 5/5 Food is mediocre (small portions/lacking flavor) 2/5 Service was good 3/5 Prices are a bit high 2/5 ($9 for a corona...c'mon...) I think this place is popular because of the views... Check it out for yourself

    Went for breakfast at the Grille upstairs. Service was great- the waitresses were helpful and the breakfast biscuit was great! Loved the view as well.

    This lounge is situated inside the doubletree by Hilton hotel and the location is ideal as it has the Tesla destination charger in the complex, walking distance from downtown and if it's too cold for you like it was for me today you can just come here and grab a beer and wait till your car gets charged. Beer is reasonably priced. They have a couple of board games here aswell so a pretty decent place overall.

    Cheese curds were kind of rubbery

    We've been to the rest of the breweries in the area, so might as well try this one as well. Cute outside area. They're breaking in some new employees, and there were a few issues...getting our beers, something with my credit card, and also our cheese curds getting forgotten. I had to go in and ask about those, and they were just sitting under the heat lamp. Perhaps that's why they were overly rubbery. Not the best. They did take them off the tab, so that was nice. Pretty laid back place compared to some of the others. Might give it another shot the next time we're in town.

    Stopped for a quick lunch with our doggo on the covered patio area. Nice vibe right on the river. Wings and waffles fries were awesome and service was great!

    Pork tacos with a side of onion rings

    Surprising find and experience. Location, location, location. On the river and bike path. Great viewing of the rafter going down stream and people fishing, walking, and biking. A lot of aviary activity too. Good selection of local brews. Service was friendly and good. The pork tacos were delish! Juicy, flavorfull, and yum. Side of onion rings which were well done. Also had, based upon reviews, the fish and chips. Three big strips that were fried perfectly and the portions were easy to eat. The CHIPS (in caps due to the size and quantity), aka waffle fries, were awesome. And they give you a boat load of them. Wanted to finish them but couldn't. Would eat here again.

    Located in a hotel, this lounge overlooks the Animas River. It seems to be connected to the restaurant as well. He ordered a beer and we went and sat on the balcony even though it was slightly chilly. I wanted to look at the river flowing through the town. There were ducks fishing for their dinner and the trees with their leaves changing. Idyllic. The server was friendly and amiable. There were some people having a meal and as we left we saw others sitting down. Will have to check out the food next time. It was a pleasant and relaxing rest.

    Excellent delicious breakfast with the family, service was superb, and the location of the seating was very nice as well. I will definitely be coming here again.

    Animas River Beer Garden.  Where you can sip Breckenridge Brewery beers adjacent to the Animas River.

    Ate and drank here on my birthday, July 6, 2019. This is a super picturesque location adjacent to the Animas river which was swollen and flowing with all the melting snow. This beer garden is part of the Hilton DoubleTree and they have beer from Breckenridge Brewery. They had a two person live band playing relaxing '70s cover songs. Our waitress was really attentive and checked on us about five times while we were here. I had the best food in Durango at this location. I ordered the Sunnyside Farms Sausage Platter for $19.75. It included: 2 brats of your choice, sauerkraut, red cabbage, 2 soft pretzels, and German potato salad. This dish really filled me up. The soft pretzels were wonderful, the cabbage colorful, and the brats tasted great, especially the hot Italian stuffed sausage. The beers from Breckenridge Brewery were phenomenal. Our favorite was the Mango Mosaic and it had to be in the top three of all beers for our six Colorado microbreweries tour. We wanted to buy a growler or two of this beer, but they don't sell growlers here. I'm thinking it's because of an ordinance prohibiting glass close to the river. I really enjoyed this place, probably because of the proximity to the river, the live band, the great beer, delicious food, great company, and attentive service. Next time we're in Durango, we'll be here again. **Note- they are only open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday until 10 pm.

    I don't know if it can be seen from the photo or not how colossally burnt and hard the chicken…read morefried steak was. To her credit, our kind waitress had the kitchen quickly make me a new one, but honestly it was still borderline inedible. This time, due to the salt. Not only was the meat heavily salted, but the breading was overly salted as well. I couldn't even taste the meat or the breading (or even the potatoes) because it wasn't a giant plate of salt. I ate all the broccolini, a few bites of potatoes, and a few bites of steak. I hate that all restaurants, because of patrons and their salt-conditioned palates, serve the most sodium-laden monstrosities possible. I didn't feel good eating it, I didn't want to eat more than a few bites, and I left the restaurant full of regret for the bites I did take. On the plus side, the beer is exceptionally tasty, and my kids both enjoyed their meals. We are leaving tomorrow and so we won't be back, but I wouldn't be back otherwise as well.

    Went to watch the final FIFA World Cup game. We had 13 and they were great to hold a table for us…read more It's a pretty big restaurant with a great beer selection, along with mixed drinks and wine. They also had tons of TVs which was great. Food- 4 stars Service- 5 stars Ambience- 4 1/2 stars Our server (I think Isaac?) was fantastic. He was super busy but always took care of us. We all ordered drinks and some food items. The spinach/artichoke dip was a bit heavy and overcooked. You def could not dip your chips in it. I got the poblano chx fried steak. It was good but also a bit overcooked. Some folks got burgers and pizza and they all said it was fine. Go for the service and drinks!! Fun atmosphere. Sorry- it was too crazy trying to get pics.

    Had a fantastic experience here! Came in after walking along the adjacent Animas River greenway…read more Great variety and selection of beers, including ones that can not only be harder to find, but harder to get right...they got all of their beers right and I highly recommend the Helles & Kolsch & Gose (the pilsner malts make all the difference if you, like me, are not usually as Gose-style drinker), as well as doing a taster sidexside of the Hogsback Black and LowFlow Stout (both on Nitro when I went). Tho the absolute standout for me was the Upper A Imperial Red! Staff is great, friendly and even the regulars will have beernerd level convos! Food is also awesome! They serve Pasties (pronounced "pas-tee") here...if you don't know what they are, they are basically caucasian empanadas and can go savory or sweet. I ordered FOR THE BIRDS "Beer roasted chicken, applewood bacon, potato, carrot, scallions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese. Served with sarsaparilla BBQ & ranch", and yes it was as delicious as described! Come hungry + thirsty and leave content!

    We had our two small dogs with us so we were directed to their pup friendly seating. They have a…read moresmall table and some half picnic tables out front that are shaded for a good portion of the day. I wish they had been a bit further apart as there were others that arrived with their pups and it bunches everyone together. All the dogs got along, but it was crowded. We had a server that came out and gave us info on what was currently on tap as well as the food menu. I chose the Low Flow Nitro Stout, my husband had the What's Up Wit. My daughter went with water. For food, she and I both ordered the Banged Up Pasty. I must say, I was excited to see a place that has a whole section of Pasties, they are not something you find everywhere but a favorite of our family. The pasty we selected was flaky crust filled with mashed potatoes and bratwurst. It came with gravy as well as grainy mustard. Delish!! My husband went with the Fish & Chips. They did not disappoint. In addition to the pup seating area, they have an extensive patio as well as indoor seating. Our service was great, the food delicious and the beers tasty and refreshing.
