    Great bbq! Had the brisket potato was amazing! Also recommend the wings! Beer was great always have great flavors. Staff was friendly and helpful. Always a favorite when we are in town

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    What's a bit of a drive when you're driving to delicious shepherd's pie?…read more I thought you'd agree - totally worth it! Their scotch eggs are banging too. In fact, we didn't eat anything that wasn't well seasoned, cooked to order and authentically British. Not an easy find, if you ask me. We sat at their bar, chatted with the bartender - who was really friendly and checked on us often. The place was packed, but we got in quickly and you'd never know they were popping. Their cocktails were amazing and after some chit chat about what I liked and didn't, the suggestions were fabulous. Loved the British decor as well. Such a fun place. It was a lovely evening and we hated to leave, but we'll def be back!

    Whenever i'm missing Boston i pop in here for a homestyle meal and a pint. It's very reminiscent of…read morepubs you find around Southie and honestly is a refreshing place to have in Colorado (where the food scene is very Latin, Asian & American). The location is kind of in the middle of nowhere but that's not a bad thing. Lots of parking and outdoor space to wait for a table or pull up a chair. The service is a little stiff and slow but what can you expect from a pub style restaurant. It can get pretty busy inside especially around holidays so definitely make a reservation if you plan on having a big party or don't want to sit at the bar. As far as English/Irish food goes this the only serious contender in the area, i haven't found another UK restaurant that quite mimics the pub atmosphere as well as this one. Check it out for some stick to your ribs goodness!

The place was interesting with outdoor seating and several few rooms indoors (pool table, foosball table, back porch, restrooms, some living room type of area, a few TV's...). The only things we didn't like were tied to the random people there. The first was a person outside that we originally thought was going to solicit us for money while we were a captive audience there eating, but then just sat awkwardly near us and chatted with random passerbys; his two or three color dyed goatee looking like he just came from a college football game and attire reminiscent of Hugh Heffner with a mountain aura. He didn't even get a drink, he just walked up and sat around, then disappeared as magically as he appeared. Then there were a few patrons that were talking like they just came in to satisfy their case of the munchies. I was going to walk the downtown, but decided to keep on driving after this. Overall, I'd stop in again and just eat inside, probably a bit away from the bar. Everyone was super friendly, but I couldn't get over the general vibe of that time of day in the area.
