This place is the embodiment of the Colorado attitude. Craft Beer, Rock & Roll is their specialty with a twist of Country to make it cool. They either have a live band or they play alternative rock thru the speakers. The food is casual and tasty. I had the red IPA (G'Knight) which was like a soft blanket. My man always drinks the Yella Pills. Prob so he can drive because I can't after the G'Knight- it's 8% alcohol! (Just kidding! I get a smaller 10oz pour so I'm not actually that tipsy like I may be with a full pint. We like the grilled chicken Thai peanut wraps. Yummy! Cruise in on your hog... Or go Boulder'ite on your road bike. You will even love it by car. Just come. It's well worth it. read more

If you're looking for a good burger and great beer on your way to Rocky Mountain National Park, stop at Oskar Blues. First, I love their beers: Old Chub, Ten Fidy, and Yella Pils... all great! So order one with your meal. The Silo Burger is the best one in the menu. wouldn't expect great service here but I have not had a bad experience yet. read more

Great atmosphere! Good food. Super nice people! Often donate food to the local VFD's and fire fighters during incidents. But they never send beer?? read more

Pricey and very average. Clueless bartender. Good beer just don't eat. I was really really disappointed with the supplies or have a beer for years and as I drove by this one class I thought let's try the food not recommended whatsoever read more

Oskar Blues Grill & Brew - Burgers Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

This is a great place to go for beer and bloody marys. The food was okay from what I can remember and the service OK. Nothing Stellar.

My family and I came to Co on vacation and were driving from Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park when we passed by Oskar Blues. Prior to my visit, I had only 1 or 2 of their beers, namely their Old Chub, which is a Scotch Ale. Anyway, on our way back I convinced my family to come here. We must have caught them during happy hour because our beers were extremely cheap! I tried both their Imperial IPA and Imperial Stout, which were both super intense and super delicious and if I had drank another beer after that, I would have been super drunk. The vibe of Oskar Blues is really cool. When you walk through the door, you can go upstairs or downstairs. We went downstairs, which is a cool basement that has a bar, small stage, and a few pinball/aracade machines. You can also go drink/eat on their outdoor patio which is accessible through the basement. The food looked and smelled amazing! I am so mad that I did not try any! We were also extremely impressed by their selection of music-everything from Cream to the Beatles. (then again they are Oskar BLUES). I would love to come back here again to take a tour and try the food! read more

I really wish this place was closer to Denver. On my way to Estes park, I ducked in here for a driving break and lunch. Fried pickles, gumbo, burritos the size of healthy newborns and fresh beer! My eyes were bigger than my stomach....especially when it came to the burrito. Everything was so good and I got the enjoy it again later that day when I had the leftovers for dinner. The venue has a lot of character. Walls are completely covered in pictures, memorabilia and the like. I was told this place is a mad house during motorcycle riding season. That could be fun if you're up for a rowdy good time. I highly recommend this place to anyone passing through Lyons. read more

Now I have had many Oscar Blues beers, sometimes in a single occasion, sometimes several simultaneously. Until this weekend, however, I have not been to the brewery itself. This was corrected en route to a weekend excursion. What I like about it is the rustic cowboy saloon vibe you get in the bar. The upstairs was open and there were a few people eating, and one lone guy at the bar, which is where we bellied up. And just for fun and profit, we ran the gambit of all the beers. Oscar Blues has quite the range of flavors, much broader than most. There's something for every taste. My personal favorites are the Old Chub, the Gubn'r, and the traditional Dale's Pale. They had a couple of seasonal on tap as well, there was a light pilsner which I wasn't a fan of, but their wheat was a very nice surprise. It was the color of orange juice with a pretty hefty citrus flavor, but very tasty. They had a red that was great as well. We had already had lunch so I didn't try the food, I'm interested in doing that next time. The bartender was friendly, and overall I have nothing to complain about when it comes to Oscar Blues. Cheers! read more

Not bad but not great. This review is based solely on the food since I didn't have any of their beer. My veggie burger came out kind of cold but I was too hungry to care. The boca patty was extremely tough. Fries were good though. Everyone else seemed happy with their food. The pierogis were great! No refill was offered on my drink but I didn't ask either. Bathroom was pretty gross. It's kind of rare to encounter a restroom at a restaurant that isn't sparkling clean. I agree with someone else who said it smelled like one of the bathrooms at RMNP. Okay, maybe not THAT bad but it was pretty gross. You wonder how clean the rest of the place is if they can't keep the bathroom nice... Service was slow but very friendly. Would I go back? Probably, but with lower expectations. read more

Our consistent go-to as Lyons redidents. We love the staff, the updated menu (2019) and of course THE BEER. The ambiance can't be replicated. Other locations are nice as well, and there is variance in the menus, but the newer polished feel leaves something to be desired if you've been to the real deal in Lyons. Absolutely the best place to watch the Holiday parade, and the downstairs bar has so many great parties it's hard to even count! Don't miss the place that represents the diversity of our small little town. read more

I love Oskar Blues. I have been going there since they opened and for the most part, I've enjoyed everything. I do have sentimental attachment to the place, since it's a place that I went to with my parents and boyfriend (now husband). Food is pretty good. I would suggest not ordering any sandwich on foccacia, as the foccacia is way too thick and detracts from the sandwich fillings. Beer, of course, is delicious. However, today they were out of a few of the regular things that we were expecting. I hope this isn't a result of their moving their brewery operations elsewhere. To me, this location will always be THE Oskar Blues, and I'd hate to start going to the other location because they have better beer selection....of their own brews!!!! So, story time. We asked about buying a few cases of beers (to take to my parents, who now live out-of-state) and a mini keg (which they used to do). They told us they could do a growler, but not a mini keg, and they don't sell cases anymore from that location. They tell us we'd have to drive from Lyons to the other location in Longmont to get the cases or minikeg. Strike 1. Since we're already on a field trip at this point, we buck up and drive to Longmont. Keep in mind we've already driven from west Denver/Arvada suburbs to Lyons. We go to their restaurant and are told they don't sell any of that stuff and that we'll have to drive to their brewery down the road. Strike 2. So we drive down the road to the brewery. I can't find a listing, or I'd review it too, but we had a great time. Unfortunately, they didn't have ANY cases of Tenfidy (which is what we'd just driven all over creation to get) and were told we could come back on Tuesday. Excuse me....but if I've driven 50+ miles roundtrip to come up here today, I'm NOT planning on coming back in a few days. They wouldn't sell us a minikeg or even a growler of their delicious smoked TenFidy. Strike 3. I was definitely disappointed. Seems like since their business has expanded, the staff are not completely aware of their offerings. I understand that, but we literally drove for probably 3 hours today to all THREE of their locations and didn't have anything to show for it at the end of the day! Next time, if I'm looking for something specific, I'll just call them and save us the drive. Booooo. read more

Great beers here! Oskar Blues has a nice array of freshly crafted brews for your tasting pleasure. I had the Old Chub Nitro and my oh my was it tasty! The nitro experience on this scotch ale is wonderful. Please try it! My food was a different story. I am the type of guy who will order an ahi tuna burger at a brewery - for better or worse (ok worse). So that's exactly what I did. I ordered the tuna burger on the Trustafarian and it was not good. The quality of the tuna was off putting. Honestly, I normally will not leave a restaurant without either a clean plate or a to-go container. That was not the case here. Half full plate and a half full stomach is what I had to show for a trip to Lyons. This place is a great joint for a beer and to mingle with some locals - Lyons is a great community! Just stay away from the tuna - anything but the tuna!!! read more

I have always loved Oskar Blues beer, so we just had to come here for lunch on vacation. We sat outside; the view was pretty and the weather was perfect. Service was quick and friendly, beer was nice and fresh, and the food was very good. I had a sandwich called "Pho-Boy" which was a weird hybrid of an asian french dip sandwich and pho "au-jus" for dipping. Unlike anything I have ever had and very tasty. We didn't have much time to stay and hangout, but Grill and Brew seems like a cool place in a nice area. Will return next time I am in the area. read more

This place felt sticky and strange inside. The decor is very dated and admittedly not my style. The food was just okay, my plate felt sparse and I definitely preferred the beer. The service is a little slow, but it could have been because it was a busy day when I went in. It seems that an older crowd comes here. With so many cute eateries and things in the area I probably will not come back. read more

I love this place. Here are the things you have to experience here: 1. Texas Toothpicks (fried jalapeno and onion sticks) 2. The tuesday night bluegrass pick 3. The Elvis burger 3. Tenfiddy stout 4. Gordon IPA 5. Dale's Pale Ale 6. Great live music 6. Old school video games downstairs Definitely a great establishment. read more

This is a great little micro-brewery/restaurant that the boyfriend and I usually stop by when we're in Lyons each summer. In my personal opinion, most microbreweries have amazing beer and so-so food. Oskar Blues is definitely better than so-so, but not mind-blowing. My sandwiches have been decent, boyfriend's burger was a tad dry, but.... They make some of the BEST crab cakes I have ever had. I don't know where these guys are from that they learned to make crab cakes like this, cuz there isn't an ocean anywhere near Colorado, but they are ridiculous. And it just doesn't get much better than a melt-in-your-mouth crab cake sandwich with a side of their amazing sweet potato fries. Along side one of their oh-so-tasty beers, of course!! read more

Another place I really want to like. Everything was pretty good. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated, our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, our orders were brought out correctly the first time, and the food was decent. The decor is fun and there's always something to look at if you don't want to look at your table mates. There's words painted on the drop ceiling tiles in the spirit of a crossword. There's pictures hanging up everywhere. Old bicycles and clarinets are propped up on the wall. An image was resin-coated onto the booth table. It is a fun place. I'm not sure why I wasn't impressed by it. I can't put my finger on it. But don't let that deter you. It is a decent place and looks like it's good for kids too. read more

Great beer and cool decor, but really lousy food. The Oskar Blues in Longmont is a family favorite but this week we decided to try the original location in Lyons. It took about an hour for our food to arrive, the appetizer never showed at all, and what was served was dry and tough. Even my daughter's grilled cheese - how can you screw up grilled cheese? My brisket was a chunk of charred fat with a bit of meat in the center. It's worth the drive to the other location if you plan to order food. The kitchen in Lyons is a total "fail." read more

I agree with everyone about the service here being really slow. Our waitress today was super nice and she did a good job but it seemed like it took forever to get the food which was ok and nothing to get too excited over. The beer though is stellar and I've waited in worst places than a brewery on a Saturday afternoon so the slow service didn't bother me too much. I would love to live closer to a place like this and if I did I would go fairly often. The beer and our waitress made up for a lot. read more

Heard good things about this place so i decided to give it a try on the way back from the mountains. I ordered the sampler and was very happy with the number of great beers being brewed here. If i wasn't driving, i would have definitely stay longer to have more drinks. The only issue i had, which is like the norm outside Boulder is food is stops at 10pm, so time accordingly. Even a taco bells shut down at midnight! read more

Food was just okay, the beers were awesome. Dale's pale ale rated top with the hubs, and I am a big fan of the wheat beer - think they were calling it Woo Moon. BBQ pulled pork decent, fries slaw and chicken strips just okay. read more

This was my first trip to this location. I've had a longtime affair with their other location, Homemade Liquids and Solids, but stopped in here on my way back from Estes. The service was good and personable, and she was knowledgable about the beer available which is huge at a brewery. The beer is obviously outstanding. These guys know a thing or two about making excellent beer, and they always have something interesting to try. On this trip, I had the Velvet Elvis, a chocolatey oatmeal stout that paired perfectly with my smoky beef brisket and baked beans. I would say that I still prefer the other location, but this is a great stopping point when in Lyons. read more

Review is for beer and food Beer: 5 stars. It is great to go here for a cold one after a hike in the mountains above Lyons or Rocky Mountain NP. Truly one of my favorite things to do. I can sit on the patio and enjoy my beer in the evening light. Food: eeps! Seriously it's a 2. I generally only eat here if I have no other option. It is bar food and it shows that they put their focus on the beer. Music: Mostly blues and classic rock. Lots of bikers in the crowd. read more

We stopped here after a hike at Lyons Gulch on a Sunday evening. We were pleased to find there was live music downstairs, which they suggested we listen to while we waited for a table to open up. We grabbed some beers at the bar downstairs and enjoyed some good ol' fashioned blues before dinner. Once we were seated upstairs we had a hard time deciding on what to eat - basic bar food. We did decide on a beer flight, which was delicious and flavorful! The food was good and greasy and we liked looking at the old pictures of previous customers on our table. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to coming back. The service was great and everyone was so nice. I recommend sharing a beer flight here, as some of the beers are a bit stong! read more

How do I love this place, let me count the ways. I've been in three times, and each time we go we like it more and more. Please keep in mind that this is saying something since it's a 20-30 minute drive for us each way, and the Longmont location is only 10-15 minutes away. Now, don't get me wrong. I've gotten great service and the same menu at the Longmont location. Having said that, the (original) Lyons location is where it's at. It is more sedate, quieter, and as a result, one has the ability to take all of its great quirks and character in, from the hand-painted lizard mural to the words on the ceiling tiles. As if all of this weren't enough fun, the service and food ARE great. No joke, their pizza crust (made with their Little Yellow Pils beer) is probably the best pizza in CO. My standards are high on pizza, being that I'm from the east coast, and this pizza is gooooooood. I am also a fan of the fried green tomatoes, the fried pickles, and the beer of course! We always get exactly what we want, exactly the way we want it (I'll admit it, I'm a bit high maintenance when I place orders - sauce on the side, this pizza but no onions, etc.) and the servers are always cheerful and helpful about it, while remaining casual and not at all overbearing. What really cinched it for me was when we were in there last week for my bf's birthday and I got bossy and told our waitress to bring him another beer. Then I thought I should explain why I was being bossy and said, "It's his birthday." At the end of our meal she asked if she could bring him a birthday dessert and he said he was full, so she brought him a birthday beer instead, free of charge. She even poured it in two glasses so we could both have it since we had both admitted we were full. Lovely, thoughtful service, relaxed and fun place, good food. We always leave there having eaten too much and at least one of us is buzzed. Quickly becoming our new favorite place. read more

Crappy service. Did a phone order and they claimed it would be ready in 30. We waited an hr. Crap food!! Then to make things worse they didn't give me what i ordered! I ordered a black and blues burger and they gave me a regular one! The burger was dry and tasted burnt! read more

Didn't get acknowledged for service sitting outside. I went in to try to order my own beer and was told that there are servers outside. I informed the bartender that I hadn't yet been acknowledged. The bartender sent me back outside without a beer (meanwhile the lady right before me ordered a beer and took it right outside). Terrible customer service. Turned me off to Oskar beers which i was actually starting to warm up to. Take your patronage to the mountain sun in Boulder. .. you'll get better beer, better service, and better mileage. read more

Service is good, beer is good, but the food has gone downhill. I was really looking forward to the collards of prior visits and what was served was clearly thawed and nearly flavorless. The burgers are run of the mill. Please Oscar Blues, step up the food quality! Bring back the Pho sandwich and tasty collards. read more

Soooo disappointed in this place. Beer is good and I've had it fornyears, and finally tried the restaurant. The service was terrible, there was a group of unbathed patrons with no shoes on sitting and eating. It's very generic food, poorly cooked. The coating on the fish and chicken strips fell off meaning they were cooked in cool grease. The waitress kept bringing us good and drinks we didn't order and it took 35 minutes to get food and 15 to get our first beer. All in all it was a terrible lunch. Definitely will not go back. read more

Very very good food and cool atmosphere! Had "Brians Last Idea" a pasta dish with shrimp and sausage and it was top notch! Very pleased! Also liked their gyro and their burgers are very good too! Also have had catfish bites and fried pickles! Both were excellent as well read more

Unexpectedly delicious. As the original location for Oskar Blues, their main brewery is now in Longmont and this location has been converted back to a brew pub. But not your average brew pub. Everything is very well seasoned and heightened from the norm. My husband had a burger with guacamole and salsa on and thought the patty was juicy and flavorful. I had the Hippie sandwich - a vegetarian option that was simple and perfect. Sometimes simple is better! Very fresh and refreshing. The fries and mashed potatoes were equally delicious and flavorful with excellent seasoning. Our server was also great and let us taste some of the limited release Oskar Blues beers. Great experience! read more

Oskar Blues Grill & Brew - Burgers Near Me - Lyons, Colorado

I seriously don't know why this place is so popular. The burgers are average at best, the beer is below average across the offering menu. The rest of the food menu is just kind of ok, nothing to get excited about. I guess in a tiny town like Lyons, our choices are few; but even as small as Lyons is, there are a few better ways to spend your time and money dining out. read more

I was visiting from out of town and this has been a great place to stop. Very friendly staff and great drink options even during the pandemic. read more
