I enjoyed some of the beer samples that I tasted and decided to make a stop at this Brewpub over in Mountain Village. The bar itself is not very large. But I do enjoy the chill vibe here. Telluride Brewing Company Brew Pub also offers food items like burgers, salads and wings. I have yet to try the food here. But I have been here for a drink on a couple of occasions. Near the front of the pub are some canned beers to go if you want to take some home to enjoy. I love hanging out in the town of Mountain Village and it is nice to have a local brewery to swing by for a drink. Telluride Brewing is a short walk from the main plaza area. Telluride Brewing Company operates out of two physical locations and has another location on the outskirts of Telluride.

We were happy with our seats at the bar so we ordered nachos. What a delightful suprise. They were great. Chips were crispy, plenty but not too many toppings and arranged beautifully.

Always love coming to Smuggler's when we visit Telluride! Always a five star chicken sandwich!…read moreIt's not something I normally order other places, but it's absolutely delicious here. They give you lots of condiments to top it with. By the time I got done building it, it was about 4 inches high. Lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, bacon, provolone, avocado... Chicken was moist. Aioli was fabulous. Thank you for always having gluten-free buns for us!!! We also enjoyed the fresh brewed root beer and ginger beer. The table and benches were very clean- super important to me! Thank you for the excellent service, Taylor! You are attentive and an excellent server. We'll be back soon!

Worst place EVER!!! When I tell you I've spent all 10 of my…read moreyears as a resident in Colorado dreaming of visiting Telluride that's probably an understatement. So I was definitely excited to visit on my anniversary and enjoy a nice meal for our special day. Last weekend on our Anniversary we went out & were seated, our order taken - drinks came, & food delivered - she asked if we needed anything else ? And we NEVER SAW HER AGAIN! EVER. We were literal hostages there. Not a refill, no condiments on the table & the food severely lacked seasoning ( I fortunately had salt packets with me) NOTHING. About an hour later By chance a coworker saw us sitting there & we flagged him down - thankfully he got us boxes, printed the receipt & told us that he thought she might be in a break because he couldn't find her. SO SHE DISAPPEARED?! First time ever in my life that I've not tipped on a meal - same for my husband. $111 bill for under seasoned Sysco food (the food was Not good either) the best part?? an additional 4% health & housing surcharge for their employees!!

I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and an iced tea, while my husband enjoyed one of their beers. The food was good and made for a quick, easy lunch before we continued exploring. Service was a little on the slow side, but everyone we interacted with was friendly. The inside of the brewery was clean and inviting, and I especially loved the animal-themed décor in the bathrooms--it was a fun, unique touch that made us smile. Overall, it's a solid place to grab a beer and a bite to eat, especially if you're looking for a dog-friendly patio in Telluride.

The biggest downside was how crowded it was. There wasn't a clear place to walk up and order at the bar, so we ended up sitting at a small table waiting for an opportunity to order. It would have been nice if someone was walking around taking drink orders or if there was a designated ordering area when the bar is busy. The bartender was fine, but nothing particularly stood out service-wise. Also, if you're traveling with a dog, this is not a pet-friendly bar. As far as I could tell, they also do not serve food in the historic bar itself, so it's best to come just for drinks and the atmosphere.

A group of four of us ate at Ania's Table at the hotel Lumiere. The food and experience was…read moreexcellent, until Kenny (Ania's husband) made the evening less than excellent. Our party witnessed Kenny having multiple glasses of wine throughout the evening, and this likely contributed to our issues. After a delicious meal and experience we were presented with a receipt that erroneously stated we had one more drink than we ordered. The meal was over $800, so a $20 drink error should have been corrected with no issues. However Kenny insisted he was correct, and then we overheard him say to cancel our reservation. 30 minutes after we paid (including the extra drink we did not order) our Open Table reservation was canceled so now we can't leave a review on Open Table. Dine here at your own risk. The food is delicious, but be aware of drinking issues by the chef's husband.

Let me give you the deets: First of all...it is up at Mountain Village. The Little Bar at the Lumiere (per OpenTable.com), is nicely located at the intimate 28-room* Lumiere Hotel (near the gondolas). You take the garage elevator to the 4th floor and voila...swanky, cozy, elegant lounge. It is IMHO (in my honest opinion) TELLURIDE'S BEST KEPT SECRET! A Conde Nast top 100 hotel...and the bar + restaurant is exceptional. Lumiere Little Bar staff Kat and Alex took excellent care of us as we selected a cozy corner of this beautifully understated, mountain cozy bar lounge. The fireplaces, lounge tunes (think Zero 7 and Bitter:Sweet), and ambiance here are like a Four Seasons private residence lounge, but with even better food! I knew we were in for a treat when we asked each of these lovely Lumiere ambassadors what they like on the menu, and both were GUSHING about the food...and both struggled to find the words to explain just why the dishes tasted so good. It was geniune...honest...they were still gushing. We started to get the idea that perhaps we were going to be amazed with our dishes no matter which ones we chose. We chose items based on their recommendations: the caesar salad, short rib taco, mushroom lasagna. We weren't starving since we had a large lunch, but we were eager to see what all this fuss was about! First up was the bread basket. It included a couple of lovely, warmed ciabatta rolls (whole grain wheat and plain) with salted butter. Excellent, traditional start. Then the caesar. The caesar dressing is amazing. Magic. Made with...love? The balance of lemon, garlic, white anchovy, the texture of the parmesan...wow. Best caesar in memory. Truly. Then, the short rib taco. OMG. Three letters. F*c%$ng Awesome. Fourteen letters. Either way, it rocked. The flavors in it...salty, tangy, sweet...umami. Perfection. The lasagna...WOW. Three letters again. F*c7$ng Incredible. You do the math. Meantime, I'm eating the lasagna. (Diversion - that's my strategy.) The lasagna...deconstructed to a certain degree with a melange of vegetables and lentils off to the side, with a gorgeously fried tofu cube...the crispy lasagna pasta layers atop creamy goat cheese, ricotta...mushrooms. Right about now, I started to formulate my strategy to maintain room for dessert. That lemon tart with chocolate, hazelnut crust, vanilla whipped creme and berry compote...definitely had my number. As in 911. Urgent and immediate attention required. The dessert arrived and you know you love someone (or you're just pretty mind-blowingly thoughtful) when you put down your fork and say, "...oh no - you go ahead and eat the rest. I'm full." I did not even remember to take a picture before devouring it. I could have eaten an entire tart by myself. Not one 'dessert' portion. The whole tart. I can peddle up the mountain again tomorrow to burn those calories, I think to myself. Piece of tart, err um, I mean cake. I learned that Chef Eamonn O'Hara is the magic man behind the curtain. I think we ought to erect a monument in his name. My guy suggested an addition to Mt Rushmore. I say Rushmore isn't thinking big enough. Yep - it's passionate, head-over-heels-love at Foodie first taste Mr. O'Hara. Meantime, I guess we'll just have to go back tomorrow night for another dining revelation as we figure out to get this guy's magic to reach us back home in Boulder, CO. For now, I just say make this a MUST DINE while in Telluride or the surrounding, say, 500 miles. Alex, Kat, Chef Eamonn...You da bomb. We'll see you in 24. *18 guest rooms, 10 residences as we learned. In any case, it's intimate, charming and understated.

One of the biggest perks is that dogs are welcome inside as long as they're on a leash, which was a huge plus for us traveling with Luna. I ordered the peach vodka slushy, and it was delicious--light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The bartender was incredibly friendly, helped us choose our drinks, and took the time to chat with us for a bit. Based on his recommendation, we even ended up buying a bottle of bourbon to take home. They don't serve food, but they do have small bags of chips available if you want a quick snack while enjoying your drink. We also learned that Telluride allows open containers in designated areas, so you can take your drink to go if you purchase it from a participating establishment, which was a fun bonus. The décor is warm and inviting, and the overall atmosphere made us want to stay longer. Excellent drinks, outstanding service, and a dog-friendly environment--highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Telluride!

There is probably just one option for a brewery at the mountain village which is the Telluride…read moreTasting Room. The inside has a bit of a brewery vibe and a bit of a ski town vibe. The bartender had us try a few beers and we were sadly not very impressed. We ordered the Face Down Brown Ale that had won a bunch of awards but after a few sips it was just very bitter and almost tasted like a porter. For food we ordered the cheese curds. Although the pineapple dip that came with it was delicious, the curds themselves were very dry and disappointing. If you want a quick draft beer then Telluride is a good option but if you like breweries and pub food then maybe go somewhere else.
