We returned to OB about a month after our first visit, right after they opened. They were considerably more organized. We were seated after a short wait and had a great dinner. Our wait person-server was awesome, funny, and well-acquainted with the menu. I had spare ribs, which were really good, and Nancy had a burger. Of course, the beer was exception and both our meals were well done. As far as brewpubs go, everything was right on. This is our new favorite place for a burger and beer in Longmont. read more

I wanted to add something to my previous review.... I love the Lyons location.... The service is nothing to write home about but that is always to be expected from an off the beaten path "mountain" location, you can expect a laid back attitude and a sharp tongue at times... in fact it becomes part of the charm! Oskar Blues has lost all their charm in this location and it seems as though they are pushing the financial prospects of becoming a chain restaurant. This is truly a great space, they had the opportunity to make this into a Lyons style O.B. times ten..... What happened? Believe it or not, Colorado still has locals.... We aren't entirely taken over yet..... We value the quaint style of our mountain towns, this does not represent the charm that is found in the Lyons location, something I was looking forward too. read more

Caveat: This is a BEER review, not a FOOD review. We stopped in Sunday evening and were blown away by the tap selection. Food looked good, but we didn't order any. I believe they have about 40 taps - more by far than anywhere I've been to in CO outside of Falling Rock. Beer selection was excellent, they had beers from dogfish, stone, maui, alaska, and some favorites of mine in pliny and racer. Really good stuff and they let you do a taster of any 5 beers on their taplist for $10 (large tasters). Give it a shot! read more

Pretty good restaurant to go to for burgers. I had some of their own brewed beer here and that was not too shabby either if I do say so myself. I forgot the name of the burger I had but it was very tasty. My waitress seemed friendly at first and seemed relatively congenial throughout my dining experience here. I think I detected a bit of annoyance from her, waitress S___ I will say, her name started with an 'S", because it was my first time there and I did not know what they served and I had trouble making decisions. When I could not make up mind on the beer it looked like I was running my fingernails up and down a chalkboard with Ms. 'S'. As an experienced Yelper I came to put myself in 'review' mode the rest of the night paying attention to the atmosphere and the service very carefully. Waitress 'S' did not come back during my meal at all to ask if I was doing alright. She then came when she saw I was finished and gave me a smile and gave me my bill. Apparently I did not want dessert either. Coincidentally I did not want dessert or needed help while I was eating but sometimes when you have these mechanisms removed during your dining experience sometimes you notice their absence and other times they can be an annoyance. The atmosphere passed with flying colors...very nice! Besides that I enjoyed my hamburger very much! I also ordered sweet potato fries which I am newly accustomed to and ... ahem... loved them! The original brewery is in Lyons,CO so you might get more of an Oskar Blues experience there by going on a tour as well as eating there. But as far as eating goes this Oskar Blues location has food that is pretty darn awesome! As for waitress 'S'... I will be waiting to run my fingers down the chalkboard again with a Freddy Krueger glove on.... Mwahahahaha.... or just act completely clueless in what I want to order. read more

Sat at the bar. Bar tender came to ask what I wanted. I ordered three different imports. He told me they don't have domestics. They're was coors on tap right in front of me. Now that's a domestic. I guess when you wear a beanie and have a wavy beard/hair getup you only know about micro brews. The old chub was pretty good though. read more

While headed out to Estes Park, we passed by Oskar Blues. Who knew it was in a small little town kinda in the middle of nowhere? Certainly not me! I was excited to stop there on the way back to Denver, but ended up sorely disappointed. The interior was kinda tacky and touristy.. more TGIFridays than brewery! HOWEVER, I do add a star for the blacklight arcade and bar/performance space downstairs. We visited on our way out and it seemed like a much cooler place to hang out. The food was so unimpressive. The beer cheese soup was meh (and I LOVE me some beer cheese soup!) I also got the fried pickles which came with three measly pickle strips! (I figured I'd have plenty to share with the whole table at the price they were charging). My vegetarian friend had a hard time finding something to eat on the menu (kinda surprising for CO), but ended up with two sides (mac n cheese and broccoli. she seemed to think they were alright, but those are two hard things to mess up!) My hubbie and his bro ordered wings and said they were way spicier than anticipated. I guess some people like that, but my hubbie ended up with a stomach ache from them later on (and he's a total wing fanatic). Both my dishes were also unexpectedly spicy. I didn't mind, but was just surprised. (I guess they make the food spicier to pair well with their strong, hoppy beers?) The REAL surprise, though, came with the check. Wait a minute-- our beers were $7-9 each?? Seriously? Last I checked, that's how much a beer costs in New York! I'll still buy the six packs in TX, but I won't be visiting the brewery again anytime! read more

Good beer. That's where the goodness ends. Food is horrible. Brisket was nothing but fat with zero flavor. It actually needed salt. Never had brisket that needed seasoning. My over medium eggs were totally cooked until hard as a rock. Husband's hamburger was just gross. Pre-stamped meat with zero flavor. Burned to add more unpleasantness. Very unhappy with our waste of $40. read more

Ouch. I wanted to like Oskar Blues because I'm a fan of their beer - their beer is great - and if that wasn't enough, they often support local cycling races. However, I can only give Oskar Blues one star - and that's only because their beer is good and they have good sweet potato fries (even if the serving is really small and served in a bean pot). That, and their manager tried to make things right when much went awry. Let me start out by telling you that our waitress did not know what kind of beer one of their primary house brews was (one of 8 Oskar Blues beers they had on the list). Then, we asked about one of the beers we saw on tap by Lost Abbey - it didn't appear on the beer list. She came back with a list of adjectives that she got by "smelling the beer" but no name? It took us quite awhile to get our beers. We still weren't down to less than 3 stars at this point, even though one of the main selling points of this place is beer and our waitress clearly had no clue about their beers or the others on tap. We had our good beers and a small bean pot of sweet potato fries.... Finally we got some napkins and were able to order (both of these things reqiured some effort on our part to make happen), and eventually 3 of our dinner items came out, but never the dish for our fourth guest... And no one came back to check on us, and we could not get anyone's attention! Finally we snagged a bus boy who went back to check on things, but it still took forever to get the last dish, and the waitress never apologized or even acted remotely contrite. This last dish was a salad piled high on a small plate and impossible to eat without getting all over the table... Other small annoyances: Their beer menu leads you to believe that you can try any 5 beers on their list for $10, but you can only choose Oskar Blues beers. It should just say that. read more

came here last night for dinner & drinks. our server andrew was nice and so knowledgeable about the beers. the food was pretty good! only lowering my rating because so many people were walking passed our table to go to the bathroom without a mask on, i'm not crazy about covid but it just made me uncomfortable :/ i left rather than having another drink read more

Shut up. I like this place. They have live music all the time, yum yum food and delicious beer. The service is good and the atmosphere is ok - not fancy, not silly, not annoying, just a place to sit your butt, eat your food, drink your beer and listen to good music. I think they try to be kitschy, but I really don't care. I want the beer. I've been here twice and have had two different burgers, the B.B. King (BBQ burger) and the Bart's Trustafarian (a delightful burger with honey, arugula and goat cheese). While I was eating it, I swore up and down that the Trustafarian was the best burger I ever ate. Upon reflection, it WAS delicious, but not the best. I think it was the beer talking. The beer. I have had several Oskar Blues, but by far the most delicious that I have had so far is the G'Knight Imperial Red. I hear that the Velvet Elvis stout is something that will blow your mind, but they haven't started serving it yet. You can bet I will be there with bells on and my banjo in hand when it hits the taps this winter. Four stars because I will go again, the food and beer are nummy, but I have been to better breweries. read more

Always happy at Lyons Oskar Blues. The Longmont location needs help in the kitchen. Burger kind of sucked, salad dressing was pretty bad too. (lemon vinaigrette) Plus it's pricey. I had one beer and a burger and it set me back over $20 for lunch (including tip). I could get a much better lunch in Boulder for $20. IMO Burger + Beer for lunch should be no more than $12. The beer was great, no complaints there. read more

Ordered the elk burger which has little to no taste. Not sure if they use seasoning in the kitchen but would have been nice. Pickle was limp, uneventful. Fries were decent, nicely cooked. Lettuce was near browning. Food was cold, Luke warm at best. Staff was very nice. Online ordering gives you the option of 15, 18, or 20% tip...for a pickup. This is my big issue. Why not have a manual tip option? You all aren't hosting me in your business so I'm not sure why the 15% tip. 20-25% tip for the server when in house but 15% for a pickup? All in all, wouldn't go back based on the food alone. read more

We came back. Another Half Ironman in Boulder - time to "carbo load". Seafood Jambalaya and the American Burrito. The wife tried a different beer -- the Oskar Blues Beerito. Enjoyed this beer. I am a darker beer drinker / went with Old Chubb. ( the 70.3 World Championship or Beer ? ---- I guess beer won ). Enjoyed the beer. A 20 minute wait. Grabbed a beer. Great service. read more

Low rating cause their Pizza the Tony Soprano sucks even without blue cheese. There was so much garlic on it it made it all around way tooooo strong. Also, it is supposed to have sausage how about at least some sausage per slice? It had total less than 10 small pieces of sausage on it; terrible for $23 pizza Yes we ate it cause we were famished. Vampires will not be messing with us for at least a few days. read more

The Happy Hour appetizers we had, fried pickles and fried green tomatoes were decent. The beer was good but served too cold holding back many of the hop flavors in the IPA. Overall the meal started out pretty good and then I got the brisket as my main dish. It was the single saltiest bite of food I ever have had aside from eating a handful of salt. Almost like they had an angry cook looking to get revenge on their boss by making it inedible. I ate about half of one of the slices on my plate and couldn't wash the salt from my mouth so just pushed the plate to the side. They have an old bus turned play area for kids which was cool except for all of the broken glass and sharp metal inside; a lawsuit waiting to happen. My partner enjoyed her sandwich and we loved the live music so we may give it a second try. read more

Oskar Blues - Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

GREAT BEERS, GREAT FOOD Not much more to say. Oskar Blues had me from the second I pulled into the parking lot and saw their keg water feature. Not gonna lie; I kind of want one. In addition to their own beers (Dale's Pale Ale!) they also have a great selection of beers from other breweries including Goose Island Matilda and the legendary Alaskan Smoked Porter. Food is also very good, quite notably the green chili. read more

Dale's crew really upped the standard in Longmont. This place is everything everyone was hoping it would be: the keg fountains in front and back, the atmosphere of "place to be seen and heard", no wonder there's a wait to get into the joint after work on a weekday. Still don't know why the chef went with a cajun menu. The good tastes come out on the pizzas (have a real pizza oven) and the bbq (have a smoker on the premises), so the advice is to order accordingly. And that's just the food! Why do you go to a brewpub? The beer period. And they nailed it. This place is truly designed by beer lovers for beer lovers and future beer lovers (very kid friendly).The new OB also has 30+ beer handles so it can be very proud of it's beer worthiness for taps that aren't even their own. Gordon's and Dale's are my fav - my gal likes Mama's which all three are brewed by OB so they won't be going away anytime soon and we will never walk away unsatisfied. We'll go back for the music next, but most definitely we will be back. read more

This place rocks! Great beer & the food is pretty tasty too! Highly recommend!! read more

I really enjoyed this place, despite the totally akward name (homemade liquids and solids? really? eww.) OB's serves really good food- far better than most Denver brewpub fare. I am especially impressed with the side dishes- I had dirty rice and spousal had cheesey grits. Tasty pulled pork- I wanted the beer can chicken, but they were sadly out. Amazing beer selection and great beer prices. They serve bear republic, pizza port and other "imports" from CA, as well as a collection of CO taps (but good ones). I had the Mama' pils aged in Stranahan's oak. Surpisingly very good- pilsner + whiskey barrel sounds kind of iffy, but it was lightly whiskey flavors and very oaky. I recommend a trip up the diagonal (with a DD, of course). read more

I could not be happier that Oskar Blues opened this Longmont location. Sometimes I'm not glad that their beer is so darn delicious. Down to the nitty gritty: This seems to be thee place to go after work! Never have I been (upwards of 10 times) when I haven't had to wait... which I don't really mind when I'm anticipating a line. BEER: I, like several other reviewers, have gone in hoping to feed a craving for, say, a pint of Ten Fidy or the Gubna, only to be disappointed because they're out. Thank goodness I like all of the other OB beers (except for Dale's) so it isn't a huge issue. Regarding some of their specialty beers, they're can be pricey, but because they have such a high alcohol content, it's not like you want/need much more than a single pint. While the beer selection is vast, I can not comment on anything but the OB brews. FOOD: The food is pretty average. My go-to dinner is the pulled pork sandwich. I've also tried their Greek salad which was pretty good, albeit huge! SERVICE: Typically we have decent service. Again, they always seem to be busy, so things can seem a little chaotic. You might have to ask for lemon or a refill twice before you get it, but at least the service tends to be friendly. Verdict: Our given choice for local brew to visit with both townies AND out-of-towners. 2 thumbs up! read more

I love this place! When first moving to Colorado I tasted Dales and was not impressed with the after taste it left, so I avoided Oskar Blues for a long time. Bigtime bummer, until one day I discovered their Mama's Little Yella Pils and Old Chub Scotch Ale! Yum! I'm a little sad i avoided this brewery for so long. They have a fantastic patio with plenty of seating for a relaxing day of brewery hopping through the Napa Valley of Beers. I would recommend stopping in for some BBQ after a day of drinkin! read more

I work really close to the Oscar Blues Restaurant, so my co-workers and I frequent this place. I really enjoy their po-boys (the batter around the shrimp/oysters is really really good!). I also highly recommend the fried pickles. I generally dont like fried pickle spears (vs the pickle chips) but they dont use huge pickles, and the batter is so good they are hard not to like. What I really like about Oscar Blues is that they not only have their beer on tap, but they have other great beers on tap from other breweries! Great job Oscar Blues! read more

1 hr no food. I think I've had it. Their customer service absolutely sucks. The hostess is unfriendly and comes across as bothered to seat us. Waitress isn't too concerned that our kids are about to fall asleep an hour into waiting for food that still hasn't arrived. read more

A group of us stopped in on Sunday for lunch. Food was very good (upscale bar food, as I expected). The beer is always good and my wife liked the bloody mary bar. The $16 all you can eat brunch looked very good. Ended up with the BB King burger and Shrimp n Grits appetizer. Both very good. My only gripe is the service was slow for not being that busy and worst of all was the FLIES! There were so many flies in the restaurant it was had to keep them off your food at times. We will try it again, but hopefully with less flies next time. read more

This place has character AND personality! Every time I go they are having live music, appropriate for the time of day. If its a Sunday morning you might find a folk band in the middle of the restaurant plucking away at their banjos and blowing into jugs. If you come on a Saturday night its likely that the band will be bellowing out blues tunes upstairs in the dance area. The selection of beers is astonishing and the food is home grown. Like it! read more

Good food: I thoroughly enjoyed the gumbo. Decent beer. The service lacked. You have to buy stickers here; which is kind of a slap in the face especially when you spend well over $50 in one visit. read more

I would have never guessed that Oskar Blues would be a southern food establishment. I guess that's where the blues part comes in. We had the Midnight Toker..... a plethora of meat pulled pork, brisket, chicken & ribs. This was some dang good bbq.... nice smoky flavor and full of meat. Our sides were fried okra, cheesy grits, & crab puppies. I would come back to Longmont any day for a bbq fix. Keep up the good work Oskar Blues. Also, you guys make some delicious beer. However, that's another story. read more

Despite the suburban location, this place is truly a great gem. If you're in Colorado and only visiting for a bit, you must check out a microbrewery and appreciate how awesome we are at making beer. And Oskar Blues is a staple of Colorado micobrews. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch and immediately I fell in love with the approachable charm of the beer-kitch decor and the classic american and southern cooking. It's a spacious restaurant with several booths, tables, and a bar top. The bar area looks like the most fun with a bar video games and plenty of cool local brewery taps hanging from the ceiling. We stuck to the traditional options on the menu and all were quite good. Burgers, pizzas, and southern ribs included. But if you decide to come later in the day, they have a raw oyster bar that they literally drop on a pulley system from the ceiling with chains. Love the brewery feel through and through. Definetly worth a pit stop if traveling from Wyoming / Ft Collins to Denver. read more

Good southern pub food--deep fried pickles, po-boy sandwiches, bbq pork, fried this, fried that, cajun spices. The kids loved it, but we can't eat here too much and expect to stay healthy! Well, they do have several salads on the menu, and I tried the Greek one--and it's right in line with the overall 3 star rating. I've heard the live music at night is great, and I'll take their word for it. Great selection of tasty micro-beers, including Easy Street Wheat, which goes perfectly with the type of food on the menu. Wait staff is efficient, friendly and the overall ambience is fun. It's nice to have a new family-friendly spot in Longmont and judging from the packed parking lot, they'll do well in town. read more

Oskar Blues as a brewery is a wonderful, wonderful place. Oskar Blues as a pub isn't bad either. I had a beer sampler with a delicious burger that had arugula, goat cheese and honey. It was cooked well, satisfying, and above all, complemented beer excellently. Service was good, I dug the sort of down-home country type of atmosphere, and it definitely hit the spot. One thing I particularly enjoyed was that they have more than just their beers available. It's a nice thing for a brewery to do, but was much appreciated even if I only had samples of the OB Suds I'd never actually had before. A busy post-ski sunday called for burgers and beer, and I got exactly what I was looking for. I'll be back! read more

Stopped in to Oskar Blues for lunch after hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Our service was great, and the food was good. We were seated right away and greeted promptly. Food came out quickly as well. We got the nachos as an appetizer, which were very good, and they had a good chip-to-topping ratio (which is critical for a good plate of nachos!!). The men got Priscilla Wit beer and they gave it good reviews. I got the shrimp po-boy with a side of mac and cheese, which I recommend! Other items at our table were the enchiladas, jam Mac, and burger. The jambalaya Mac and cheese wasn't a fan favorite, but burger and enchiladas got good reviews. Overall, I think this place is worth a stop to check out. Nothing fancy, but good! read more

See all

Amazing beer menu - especially for hop lovers! Food is fairly good - not mind-blowing, but you don't come here for the food. Come here for the beer and quirky restaurant atmosphere. The menu does have a surprising amount of vegetarian options though! Options range from the simple Boca burger/fries combo to a blackened tofu wrap with avocado. Tip: M-F lunch specials are well-priced and come with a fresh salad! read more

After giving in to the friends hype about "southern / Texas" food and being from Dallas and currently living in Houston; I thought OK...let's see how this place is on Texas type cuisine. After finding the menu to be almost completely devoid of food we actually eat in Texas and that of our neighboring State, Louisiana. I remained interested in testing the foodie waters of Oskar Blues. Heck the place was packed...must be good, right? It was "fish fry" day (Thursday) and we sat at the bar. WRONG, WAY WRONG thing to do. Not only was the bar filthy the ONE guy working a completely full bar and filling drinks for the rest of the restaurant was a Titanic of a sinking ship. Overwhelmed, lacking in social skills, and maybe a little too much of the legal Hippie Lettuce contributed to a pathetic attempt at a lunch service. The "fish fry"contained some really old catfish which was not seasoned before battered and miserably over-fried. The fried okra (we know plenty about Okra in Texas and LA) came from a frozen bag which was evident by the lack of seasoning and moisture in the veggie itself. Net/Net: Anyplace that claims their food is Texas but has Cajun food spelled "Pho-Boy" for a Po-Boy on the menu should be avoided. BTW: The only reason I can ascertain why it was crowed is: It's way out off the beaten path and people drink enough of their beer to get past the poorly comprised menu and tasteless food. I suppose it's the same affect as "beer goggles' which, after toooooo many beers, everyone looks attractive and here, specifically, too many beers makes the food palatable. My 2 cents. Greg T. read more

This place is A-OK, pretty good, could be better, but its not bad enough to stop going. The brew pub is a popular and fairly neutral location. Most people seem to like it, and when going out with friends, this is an option that most people seem to agree to and is better than a lot of other options. I was here right when this place first open, and I feel like the quality has gone down a little bit, but it is still pretty good. I feel the same way about the beer choice, still pretty good, but could be better and used to be better. Please bring back the barrel aged beers!!!! read more

OKay, so we were in CO from NC. Stopped into Oscar Blues even though they recently opened a brewery in western NC...still we wanted to see the original. Two things that really impressed me with this place. First they had some of the better food i've ever had in a brewpub. The manager came by to see how we enjoyed our meal - I had to ask what the secret was to their wings. We tried the honey-sriracha sauce....fantasic. Ribs=fantastic. pulled pork= really good. I also really appreciated that they carried not only Oskar Blues beer, but 40 other taps with excellent quality beer. Outstanding. And last of all, they have live music regularly in their performance space upstairs. If I lived in Longmont, I would be a regular here! read more

I am bummed to be giving this place three stars. I wanted to love it. I love the Oskar Blues restaurant in Lyons! First -- the beer was awesome as always. They have a pretty sweet variety too, which is always nice. I would also recommend the fried pickles. It's a tiny portion but a good starter with lots of spice. The entrees were decent. At our table, we had bbq pork and the turkey rueben. The bbq was good but not outstanding. The service was friendly and accommodating but it took a really long time to get our food and they weren't that busy. I'll try this place again--really hope that it gets better! read more

First time here for lunch; Love the decor; rugged, woodsy, not fancy, totally cool stuff hanging all over. The Boudin Balls are amazingly delicious! A little bit spicy; crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside with dipping sauce, YUM! The Wings are equally as good. Meaty, spicy, cooked to perfection, scrumptious! Turkey Reuben is flavorful, the lean turkey with a special sauce, so good...(I would def get this again!) The Grill Wrap is also really good. It's spicy, so order accordingly :) Crunchy fries, cold beers, friendly staff. We had a great time here!! Too bad we were just visiting :( read more

listen, the beer is great, but it fails everywhere else. The reason for the poor service and food is due to under-staffing and high turnover due to it. Had a meal there a couple times now, and have yet to find anything work a second try. The beer is great. If not for the fine selection at great prices, this would get one star for food and service. With the huge crowds, I am afraid there will be zero effort for improvement. read more

Don't order the far/out "tots" unless you want a big bowl of salad. The menu is unclear about it, totally deceiving!!! The beer is great as always... read more

I always have a great time here, there's live blues music with different musicians on the second floor, it adds a cool vibe to the whole place. The ambience is always relax. I ordered a creole rice with seafood and veggies, it was delicious. The had a good choices of beer that complements the food in a good manner. We also ordered an Artichoke pizza, which we thought that it would have the artichoke pieces but instead, it was a pizza crust with artichoke cream dip and mozzarella and arugula on top..mmm we didn't like it it was kind of yaki :( the plain fresh artichokes with the mozzarella and arugula would have been better. Our waiter was great too. Good experience for a relax evening. read more
