We're visiting the area and wanted a burger that didn't come in a bag through a window. Although we don't drink, we love bar food, so we decided to give Melvin Brewing a try. Can't say much about the interior, as we sat at one of the picnic tables outside. A server came and gave us all some water and took our drink order. After the drinks (sodas) came out, she took our order. Soon after, our food was served. Hubs and I both got burgers. Each had 2 juicy, but not greasy smash burger patties with just the right amount of seasonings and toppings. That's right--juicy smash burger patties. Is that possible? It is at Melvin Brewing. My mom got the fish tacos. She said they were delicious, just messy. Too much aioli in her opinion, but she wouldn't be mad if we ate there again during our stay. Kids were going to get burgers, too, but they saw the pretzel on the app menu and each had to get one. The pretzels are huge. They came with queso and IPA brown mustard. (The kids turned their noses at the mustard, but it was a great addition to my burger.). The queso wasn't chunky, but had some spice to it, but it wasn't overly spicy. If the queso came out of a can or jar, we couldn't tell. read more

The burger was AMAZING!! Probably the best I've ever had!! Service was friendly and fast. The smell walking up to the restaurant was puzzling but then I realized it is a brewery and I was probably smelling that process. Good location that would've had an even better view had the lake not been dried up. read more

My friends and I stopped by here on a trip to Star Valley Ranch. We have a group of nine, and they were able to get us seated at two tables. At first we sat inside, but one person in our party is gluten free and the beer being brewed inside made it so he couldn't sit in there. They were able to move us outside. At first we were in the sun, but then they let us move into shaded tables. They were super accommodating. They are a Pepsi establishment not Diet Coke, so that was a bit of a bummer, but people in our group got drinks and enjoyed them. They had a slushie whiskey sour which was awesome. Everything liked their food. I got the chicken Caesar wrap with fries. It was delicious!!! My husband got the drunken master with tater tots. He really liked it. The tater tots were super crunchy. I'd totally recommend this place if you're in the area. Good vibes. Good service. Good food. read more

Great burgers and sandwiches. The nachos were kind of sad. Staff super friendly though kitchen was a little slow. Extremely dog friendly.

Seats are good, WiFi is great, food is amazing Hope we can come back here Next time we go back to alpine service is very good read more

Always a great time here. Good beer, good food and service. Very enjoyable. We come here several times a year while camping and it's never been bad service. Highly recommended read more

The servers were friendly, however, it took over an hour and fifteen minutes to receive our order. It took over thirty minutes to receive the appetizer. The food was alright standard pub food, not amazing and definitely not worth waiting that long for. This is a bar first and foremost. Beer and alcohol came out fast and it did not take long at all. Anything else good luck if you get anything. They didn't check the tables much; don't blame them. How do you expect them to handle the kitchen not doing its job? All in all, if you are looking to drink beer and maybe get something to eat, then maybe try it otherwise avoid it not worth the money. read more

My husband and I have been to Melvin's twice in the past week- everything about this place is phenomenal! I am not a drinker, but the food is spectacular, and the location is even better- they have an amazing patio space with perfect views of the mountains and reservoir every where you look! Service has also been wonderful. We will most definitely be back! read more

Melvin is a fantastic spot on the Palisades Reservoir. Their brews are as delicious as their food offerings. Service is always efficient and friendly. The views of the mountains and reservoir make this a very special place. Don't miss this spot while you are in Alpine. read more

There was a girl there who was extremely rude and spent most of her evening just standing next to the end of the bar where the bartender was putting drinks for the servers with her hands in her pocket. I overheard her chastising the bartender on multiple occasions, noticable enough for multiple people to stop to watch. I assume she is some kind of manager, since she seemed absolutely unhelpful to the rest of the employees. I would be willing to return if I knew ahead of time that I would not need to interact with her or watch more of those uncomfortable interactions. read more

The smash burgers here were very good. I loved the view so much I got up to walk around. the staff were very nice and courteous.

All of it was just so amazing. We chose to stay in Alpine while we were visiting Jackson hole and there's not a ton there, so this is like the perfect gem! When you first drive up, the ambience is spot on for a brewery. It's right on the reservoir and you've got mountains in the background on all sides. The front patio has picnic tables and cornhole. And then when you walk in you get the big brewery feel because you can see all the brewing equipment in the back ,and then the bar area was well designed. indoor seating with huge bay windows to look out over the lake at tables or at the bar. My dad got the OG burger because he's quite picky. But it was juicy and a perfect burger. I like to try more unique things, so I went with the veggie burger. It was very fresh, homemade! It was soft, and the bottom bun got soggy. So it just needed a lil more texture maybe cheese on the bottom to keep bun dry Beer was refreshing, and I just loved the view. Staff was super nice and upbeat feel! read more

I have had Melvin a couple of times before, specifically when they were once located in Bellingham, Washington. That location has since closed and it looks like their headquarters in Alpine is the only location left. I always enjoyed their beer and figured I was due for a revisit and some time has passed and when I pass through Wyoming I like to hit up as many of my home state craft breweries that I can. This latest beer excursion with Melvin was all about IPA'S. I had three different ones and all three had their unique signature to them. It wasn't where one IPA ran into another in regards to flavor and it was hard to tell apart. So that was most appreciated because that scenario is often the case for me. One IPA I had was the 2X4 Dipa, a Double IPA which I liked. It was smooth and strong and the flavors of tropical sweetness and hoppiness was certainly there. The characteristic I liked best with this one was that it was strong. The Melvin IPA was the next one. What really got my attention with this one was it's piney personality. It also was sweet, fruity and hoppy. Also a very smooth bodied IPA. The last IPA was the Back in Da Haze, this was a New England IPA and had a good creamy body to it. The juicy, fruity and citrus presence was nice too. A good return for me and Melvin and a brewery I have every intention of returning to as I love to travel through the Alpine area and this corner of Wyoming is one of my favorite spots in the entire state. read more

Such a great spot in Alpine! - Ambiance 5/5. There are so many seating options. Wonderful outdoor seating overlooking the lake and mountains. There is also a lawn area out there with yard games. Indoor seating has normal tables for small groups, large high top tables for large groups or community seating, window high top bar and the general bar seats. The majority of the building is the brewery which is quite massive!! It's a large open warehouse design. - Service 5/5. The staff here are awesome! Always friendly, always checking on you and are mostly local from what I can tell. - Food 5/5. I've only had a few things, the steak tacos and their signature burger. They were both good, no complaints. The menu is decent for a brewery in a tiny town. - Beer 5/5. This is why you're coming and it's worth it. So many options, all are very tasty! Nice seasonal selections and always fresh!! Make sure you try the Star Vally!! Make sure you stop in if you're passing through Alpine or make it a weekend trip and go spend some time in the forest and come in for some beer and food after!! So good!! read more

If your beer enthusiast, this place is well known and thought of. I don't drink so the beer doesn't do it for me. I like to eat. It's a beautiful spot looking out over the Palisades Reservoir, but food options are challenged gluten-free. You may may as well, just tell everybody here from California, no one cares anyway it's for me. I don't go out of my way for it but if you have a beer, check it out. read more

We're always on the hunt for a great brewery--and Melvin Brewing did not disappoint! Super cute spot with a laid-back vibe, yard games, and both indoor/outdoor seating. My husband is a hazy IPA guy, and while they only had Back In Da Haze on tap during our visit, it was solid. One of the staff recommended Purple Drift (not a hazy, but still a hit), and hubby ended up enjoying it almost as much. As for me? The I'll Be Your Huckleberry cocktail was light, refreshing, and perfect for a summer afternoon. We shared a giant pretzel and both had burgers--absolutely delicious and hit the spot. Great food, good drinks, and genuinely friendly staff! read more

Staff was amazing, food was great, overall 10/10 experience. My friends and I came here on a snowmobile trip and randomly stumbled upon this place and wouldn't have had it any other way read more

If you can take the heat - the Brewhaus is the best hamburger in town. The Melvin's IPA is an excellent default drink. The siracha ketchup is the best thing you can dip a fry in. Finally, the location is unbeatable. Must do. read more

Some of our favorite brews ever! And make sure you ask for Dane Klingbeil (the heartbeat of the operation) when you go. read more

This Hass to be one of the most beautiful breweries in the world. It's located in Alpine, Wyoming and the views are just stunning. However, what's just as stunning is the brewery itself. The food, the beer, the environment is amazing. I cannot recommend this place more. If you're ever lost in the mountains of Wyoming, stop by this place and, have a beer. Also, there branding is super fun. You'll get it when you're there. read more

You really have to take a visit to this glorious establishment, especially if your camping in an RV, they have free dry camping right in front LAKESIDE with amazing views and surroundings. However, let's talk about Melvins Brewery, you can tell the staff are treated with respect and are taken care of by the owners and managers. They care! We had dealt with multiple staff over the 2 night stopover but none were more accommodating than Sam, despite me assuming he was one of the kids playing Corn Hole when we first arrived this baby face Manager and true gentleman ehad a very strong command of the restaurant and how to make it sizzle. read more

Melvin Brewing - View from the patio - Breweries Near Me - Alpine, Wyoming

Another victim of private equity. Since the place has been bought by fine dining the prices have went up and the food quality has gone down. Also 50% of the outdoor seating you are blasted with a stinky grease trap smells. The only reason I gave it a 2 star is the beer is good, it's one of the few places with plenty of outdoor space, and it's a pleasure to have live music. read more

Cool location, great view, good beer and decent food. Came for Harvest Host camping but overall enjoyed the brewery.

Food is great if you come later in day. Do not come when they open the doors. Tacos have old chicken from night before that is dried out and cold. Chili is cold and hasn't been heated through.. Update.. barfed up tacos after having a cherning stomach.. could've been a better day! Business has changed ownership and it is evident. read more

This property and location is incredible. Surrounded by water and mountains, the views don't really get much better. The staff was super attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious, as was the beer. Our only complaint, or maybe wish, was that they had more vegan/vegetarian food options. read more

What a great place! I've been a fan of their beers for a long time and knew that I had to go out of my way to visit before I left Wyoming. It was worth it. Not happy that we could order a beer but not good without a table and there was a long wait but it was still a good experience read more

Great beer, great burgers and an AMAZING view! We've been twice already since visiting and will probably be back 2 more times before we leave. We love it here! AND we plan to stay here with our RV because this is a Harvest Host location (probably one of the best in the country). read more

Great location, good beer & service, but when the brewers decide to dump the hops nearby it causes the place to smell like diarrhea; seriously. We stopped by with the intent of having a few beers on a Friday evening. Super cool location and the waitstaff were good; however, we left after practically downing our beers because we couldn't get over the horrible smell. Melvin, dump the waste elsewhere or find something else to do with it. Even your waitress agreed with our complaint and added that the smell is usually worse. read more

Good drinks. Great view. Really great service. Crazy great merch. The pretzel was good, BUT I wouldn't recommend the shrimp tacos.

The service and food is amazing. The beer is also pretty yummy. These guys rock for sure and everyone should go there. Meagan was the best bartender I have ever seen, she knew exactly what she was doing and didn't even break a sweat. Meagan had a huge smile the whole time there. Brooke was amazing server running all over. Shaylee was the manager but you would never have known since she was working just as hard as the others. This place is a must for everyone. Way to go Melvin Crew. read more
