This place was great! We're in frisco a lot and some of the restaurants here lack hospitality but not at highside. You do have to order at the bar but honestly that makes it easier for the servers so they don't have to judge when you're ready to order. Also very welcoming as it's seat yourself and all the staff are more than happy to service you. Shoutout especially to Vinny the bartender who was amazing! No complaints from us but he still went out of his way to make sure we were doing well. Also the food was incredible, great bbq and also great beer! Can't wait to go back, highly recommend read more

Every time I'm in Frisco, I can't help but visit Highside! Greta variety of beers, food, indoor and outdoor areas--it has it all! Frisco has so many great places to visit, and Highside is located right at the corner of one of the coolest streets of shops and restaurants--starting or ending your shopping with a beer is a must. Highside always has a great variety of beers, but also has coolers of ciders and non alcoholic options. They also have food available, but as I haven't eaten any, I won't review that here! But I do love the indoor and outdoor seating options--and the place is dog friendly! read more

Ambiance and service is terrific. Food, particularly the Colorado BBQ Menu foundation has been hit and miss over the past decade. Current Management is extremely dedicated to the "We Do Not Suck," goal. High Side now has three (3) locations; Breckinridge, Fair Play and Frisco. The actual BBQ pit is in Fair Play, and high quality meats and game-based sausages are supplied to the pit. BBQ is distributed to Breck and Frisco. During my tasting the sausage was moist and flavorful, turkey was amazing (so moist), pork shoulder was nicely smoked, and the brisket, although tough, was flavorful. Also tried delectable Mac-n-Cheese, Green Chili, Red Chili. High Side is dedicated to community involvement and occupies a great location in Frisco. They also genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Kurt Zolbe is your man if you have any issues. read more

Wonderf food and staff was awesome. Amber was our server and she made sure we were taken care of.

Great place for beers and good local music in both Frisco and Breckenridge. The stage in the back room is awesome

We have been to Highside Brewery for years. Strange sort of business model, having to wait on yourself and order in advance, and good luck waiting in line for another drink; but still acceptable. But getting the check and seeing a $2.50 service fee was totally unacceptable!! Just pay your employees more!! read more

Not the most efficient restaurant but the food was tasty. We had a Philly CheeseSteak sandwich. The reason for the 3 stars is the fact that there was a dirty rag on the floor and other stuff that should have been tidied up. I'd recommend this place for the beer and food but not if you're looking for cleanliness. read more

First off its self serve. Secondly, food portions are extremely small for the money. Thirdly, food was meteocre at best. I would recommend you eat somewhere else. read more

Always so happy when we wander here! Smoked pork special, cocktails ala Amber, music from guitarist who knows all the songs we love...a great day in summit county. read more

Great beer, good bbq, dogs, games, live music - what else can you ask for?! Service is awesome and they'll let you try samples to find your favorite brew. The spot is spacious and has several big couches and chairs next to a large warm fireplace. I loved that it was dog friendly. Food options are outstanding - the brisket was perfectly cooked and there was a great selection of sauces. We've been here before, we will come back, and continue to recommend as one of our favorite breweries in the Rocky Mountains! read more

The beer was awesome and the food was also. Their Mac n cheese had a good flavor, I think Gouda was the base. I tried the brisket and enjoyed it. It was a little pricier than I expected, but was fine. Note that you can't park in front of the business and have to park a few spots down the main street there. read more

Food, service ambiance, everything has declined considerably. The few people (4) that worked tonight were doing the best they could so I have no beef with the employees; however, no one was waiting on the tables( they had zero waiters) and we had to walk to the bar to order drinks and food. We ordered Southwest Salad which consisted of black beans, chips and ranch dressing (very little salad)- this was much closer to nachos. We questioned the salad and the cook stated this was their version of a salad. The macaroni and cheese was bland and smothered in cheese. The turkey sandwich tasted good but it was a $17 grilled turkey sandwich- very overpriced. The bar had decent microbrewery options but all the mixed drinks were made using rail liquor. This place used to have good waiters, gas fire pits that provides additional ambiance, and the food portions did not leave you running to the local Safeway for dinner! This restaurant has declined significantly and leaves much to be desired. read more

Great beer, great staff (Liz and Palmer), must stop. The Senior Guide IPA is a winner.

We spent an impromptu day/night in Frisco, and were in search of a brewery to spend the afternoon at after a long morning of hiking. After considering a few, we stopped at Highside given the food truck, as well! It's a cute little no frills place with great beer and space to hang out. They had some table games, but many people also came to work. We loved that the food truck set up allows you to bring your dog into the taproom. We enjoyed a flight of all of their beers and pulled pork nachos with all of the sauces. The mustard sauce was my favorite, but they were all solid! The beers were also solid - I don't typically enjoy dark beers but I enjoyed the pilsner and Oktoberfest per usual! Overall, very chill spot that I'd recommend for an afternoon snack break. :) read more

Whoever is running this place has no clue about customer experience. They leave the doors open in the freezing cold. They have one guy working the whole place including food and drinks . Yes one guy!!! I waited forever to get a drink and just left to another bar then came back and still looked at me and didn't say one moment or anything. He looked like on the spectrum of retardation. Bands here get no good lighting or ambience. They should be out of business. Another bartender from before hates his job and acted like was doing a favor to get me a drink all annoyed. They are lucky mid season not a lot of options open now so they get away with crap food and service. read more

The staff is very friendly and taproom is nice but the beers were just okay. Nothing special. We tried the peach sour and Fresco chili and both were average at best. There is food truck outside with lots of food but sadly close to none vegetarian option. I Would say go there for the proximity of downtown but don't expect much! read more

Food is decent, but the beer is great! Nice patio out back to view some mountains while you sip (or chug)...convenient to the bike path from vail pass back into Breck or vice versa. read more

Good drinks (I had the Kolsch and my partner had wine) and comfortable space, made more fun and animated by the friendly canine customers. On the other hand, the food was truly epic in its awfulness. We ordered the half rack of ribs and pulled pork sandwich, The ribs were incredibly tough (so, way undercooked). After finally sawing off a single rib, I recall the seasoning as somewhat off-putting, but it overwhelming saltiness (as opposed to the flavor and tough texture) that made them completely inedible. The pulled pork sandwich was better except that the pork was borderline cool/tepid, so pretty unappetizing. And as others have noted, a "side of pickled vegetables" means a couple of pickle chips. Here's what was most annoying: we're on vacation, the meal put us off ordering anything else, so we decided not to say anything. Yet, when the owner/manager who took our order stopped by to collect the trays, he paused to look at the uneaten meals, then picked everything up without asking how the meals was or if there was a problem and walked away. Clearly, this is a business that no longer cares. read more

Love it here! Everytime Im in frisco I find myself back at highside brewing. I love trying new things so the flight was just what I needed. Along with beer, Highside brewing also has quite the bbq menu! And what else could go better with bbq other than a bunch of house made bbq sauces to pair it with. read more

Diego was the best!!! The entire staff took care of us very well and the beers were incredible.

Diego was the man! Thanks for welcoming us into town - great spot to check out for drinks and food

Great beer choices, they had a great location, an d the staff was super friendly! Would go here again!

Highside is our go to favorite place. The staff is fantastic and super accommodating, and the food is great as well as the atmosphere, but most importantly the owner is the nicest guy I've ever met. We are regulars and happy to be there! read more

Food was very disappointing, marginal at best. Brisket was dry, wings as well and a weird flavor, coleslaw so vinegary it was inedible! Do a better job, people! Great service though! read more

My boyfriend and I were on the road, and we made a pit stop in Frisco to take a break from driving and to get dinner. Frisco is a small town, and the options available on a Tuesday during off-season were pretty limited. We wanted a quick and delicious meal at a casual place, and Highside Brewing was the best option that we saw. Highside Brewing has beer and BBQ - the perfect combo - and the menu has ample options on there. We settled on a flight, a two meat platter, and some tacos al pastor. After a long day of driving, good beer was really refreshing. Beware of the Frisco chile beer though - that one really does have a spicy kick to it, but it is great if you want something to wake you up. Otherwise, the Frisco gold is a standard beer that is pleasant and easy to drink. The two meat platter was a decent amount of food. We chose pulled pork, brisket, and baked beans for our platter. The pulled pork and beans were ok, but the brisket was delicious. It was soft, flavorful, and not too fatty. The tacos al pastor were delicious as well. Highside Brewing was a great choice for dinner. The beer and BBQ were both good. The service was a little slow, but the staff was nice. The place has a cool vibe, and there is plenty of space to hang out at. The taproom is downstairs, the bar is upstairs, and there is outdoor dining space too. There were no events going on when we were there, but there sometimes is live music or trivia night. We would have hung out longer, but we had to get back on the road. read more

we ordered Brisket waaay overpriced it was my Birthday brought to us ice cold twice and service is horrible

High side was on our list to try in Frisco. The environment is fun and cozy, but food and beers were not impressive. We tried the smoked brisket, St. Louis ribs, blacks beans, baked beans, potato salad. Nothing was served hot- everything was barely warm so that was disappointing. The potato salad had good flavor but the potatoes weren't cooked to be soft, but rather had a crisp to them. The bowls looked pretty spotty from the dishwasher. The beers were ok, served cold was their biggest benefit. Something to try is the rice lager. read more

Beer is good. Pulled pork sandwhich was very soggy when it got to us, street corn is served cold, and cornbread tastes doughy. Otherwise decent place but a little overpriced for the quality of food. read more

Came here with my longtime bestie during our annual girls' getaway and had a great time listening to good music, drinking great beer and chilling with the local pups who seemed to be enjoying it as much as we did. We heard Beau Thomas Thursday--such a fun performance--and returned the next night with our daughters to hear John Truscelli--so good. Props to the staff, too. read more

Food is terrible, absolutely just terrible. Drinks were good. Dogs in the place were entertaining. We would not go back.

There's a nice view from the second floor here that we were seated at. It's too bad that there's a bunch of construction happening and that the lake is being dried up. Anyways, we came here for lunch and we were pretty happy with what we had. I tried some of the brisket with potato salad. Both were tasty but the brisket was a workout on my jaw trying to eat it. I also had a flight of beer which I'd be down to try again. Plenty of beers to try here and the one's I had were tasty. read more

Honestly not sure why the ratings for Highside are lower than expected. We had a great time here, met great waitstaff, and had the option of indoor or outdoor seating. This was an incredibly windy and cold day and even after sitting outside on the upper patio, the server was more than happy to move us indoors, right on the other side of the glass, where we enjoyed the same amazing view but much warmer. Even inside, seating was spacious and not too close. Everyone wore masks and atmosphere was fun and hip. Digital menus made ordering easy and fast. We ordered some apps and enjoyed a sour beer for me and an IPA for my partner. The space is really nice and I'd love to come back in the future and take advantage of the arcade style games inside, the shuffleboard and other fun options inside. Nice job, Highside! read more

The beer at this place is absolutely delicious. I was visiting frisco on vacation, and I ended up hitting this brewery up two nights during my stay! Additionally, you can bring your dog on the first floor, which is just a grand time! There were many dogs amongst the guests tonight. That made for an even better environment (in my opinion). Woof woof. Will be back! Check out a photo of my beer below. read more

The skinny: Great large spot to hang out with good food and drinks. The food/drinks: We came here with a gift card and didn't have super high hopes - we've been burned trying a few 'highly rated' places near Brek in the past - but we were very pleasantly surprised. A large variety of beers that were quite good - we liked the Monk Juice and even bought a crowler to go (added bonus - their crowlers have a really cool mountain art on it). We got a BBQ platter that was quite delicious - the brisket was nice and fatty and all the meats had a great smokey flavor. The pulled pork was a little dry for me - but the BBQ sauces were yummy. Overall solid drinks and food. Atmosphere: Great spot with nice views. Very large with 2 floors and outdoor seating. Staff was super friendly - and it allows dogs as well! COVID: We have been avoiding eating inside as much as possible - but it was cold out and they are doing a great job so we felt comfortable enough. Everyone was wearing masks and all the tables were distanced and clean. Would I come back: I'm constantly looking for places I can eat and drink while I have my dog - this is a great new addition! read more
