That patio overlooks a massive backyard complete with a live music stage and a great grassy area for kids to play. We tried the drink of the month--the Cowboy Spritz--and it was fantastic! Huge shoutout to our bartender, Ginger, who was an absolute sweetheart and went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience. The Lube Room is now a mandatory stop for us whenever we travel through Ebbetts Pass or vacation in the area!

It should not take 2 hours for pizza and wings. Wings were cold, but even worse - seemingly not fully cooked. Just - sad.

Took forever over an hour to get 1 pizza. And then the food tasted bad. Do not go here!!!read more

Chef Nolan, who started in Nov '24, has totally invigorated this little lounge/pub/bistro. The menu is limited and focused, with flavors aplenty, and perfectly cooked cuisine. Some of my favorites are the Brussels Sprouts, Portabello Fries (tempura like), cheeseburger egg rolls, and the salmon burger- from what I've tried. ETA: the burger is out of this world - char grilled to perfection- I had mine medium rare. The salmon and beef are always fresh, never frozen.

Killer fish and chips and great burgers. This is a must when in the Highway 4 high country.read more

We found Creekside Bistro. Headed on in and the most exuberant fun fantastic bartendress welcomed us and said come on in and what do you want to drink? lol she was the best. We ordered some cocktails, and then some more - and ordered a yummy dinner - we managed to order all and eat before the sunset thank goodnss they were open during the long weekend - then we headed to Bear Mountain and walked up the run to watch the beautiful sunset. Thanks for the bartendress (you're the best!) and the waiter for getting us in, lubed up, fed, and out in time for sunset - a memorable meal and a memorable sunset. Love everyone in this area

We ordered the regular burger, the black garlic aioli burger and the big kids burger. Ok, I may have been starving- but it was great! The patties were actually made there instead of a frozen supermarket burger. Also the fries were tasty. Overall, far exceeded our expectations!

From the moment we walked in, we noticed prolonged stares that immediately made us feel unwelcome even though we there to meet other locals we met at a nearby restaurant. We were taking a few photos of ourselves and the bar to document our trip (nothing disruptive, and no signage indicating photos weren't allowed). Shortly after, a bartender accused us of taking inappropriate photos of her, which was completely untrue. She asked us to delete the photos, and I obliged. Before we were even given a chance to explain, we were aggressively intimidated by staff and bar goers and told to leave immediately. The entire interaction felt abrupt, confusing, and embarrassing. We were respectful customers who didn't even get the opportunity to clarify what we were doing. Regardless of intent, the situation was handled poorly and left us feeling singled out and unwelcome. We were excited to experience a local mountain bar, but unfortunately this was not a positive or inclusive experience.

We reviewed the menu, ordered drinks. Beers were good but nothing to brag about. We ordered food - two burgers, pulled pork sandwich, two pizzas and kids chicken tenders. It took nearly 45 minutes. We watched others who came in after us get their food. My assumption was they were trying to serve our whole party at the same time. Food was average. Nothing stood out. It got busy while we were there and they were seriously under staffed. The bartender/waiter, and another woman bringing food out from the kitchen was it. We wanted to like it but it was average. We were in town for the holiday weekend so maybe our review won't matter but I wouldn't come back for average food and slow service. There is potential.
