Stopped in for lunch and to enjoy the rooftop dining while touring Ouray for the day. Check in outside to get on the waitlist. It wasn't packed inside, but I'm guessing the workforce issues are still happening, as they were attempting to spread everything out. Once we got in, we found a table on the roof and then went to order. Disappointed they no longer had the brown ale that still appeared on some of the menus, we both ordered and enjoyed a glass of the Amber. I ordered the green chile burger, and my wife had the classic burger with avocado. The onion, lettuce, and tomato comprise the 'setup', and unfortunately, you can't hold one without holding it all. Therefore, we both ditched our tomatoes, and even though I was told the setup was on the side, mine wasn't, so I ended up peeling off the yucky tomato. While both burgers were more red than we prefer, they had good flavor. There weren't a ton of fries, but it turned out they were enough, and they were delicious too. It doesn't appear as though Ouray has a lot of brewery options, so we'd come again the next time we're this way. read more

My wife is a CO native and insisted we go to this legendary bar. Most of the bottom floor has been converted to sell merch, which they didn't seem to be in any hurry to do, but the stuff was nice. The seats at that small bar were swings, which looked fun. But very limited. The service upstairs is walk up ordering, take a number. Seating is picnic tables and a long bar with aluminum stools. The view of town and the hills is lovely at sunset. The red ale was good, the seasonal hazy was average. Unfortunately we missed lunch when the full menu is available. The "hot" dry rub wing isn't very, and didn't taste like much except cayenne, Korean wings were much better. As others have said the elote dip is surprisingly good. Basically an average bar with a long history to hold it up read more

The three star review is for the service which is non existent. Upon arrival you have to order at the counter pay and tip ahead of time. Then you're told to come back to the counter and get your food and beer. When I asked the lady for a to go container she told me to go downstairs and get one. Then we were told that we had to pick up our own empty container and throw them out. So with that being said why do I have to tip, when everything that is done by a server to get a tip is done by the customer. The beer was just ok not a big selection. But the plus was the burgers they were very good and the fries were outstanding so the kitchen get a 5 star. The view is great but $83.00 dollars plus a 15 dollar tip, for two beers, two burgers, an appetizer and bad service is very over priced. Will not return. read more

The Good: Located on Main Street with a fantastic view of Ouray and the surrounding mountains from the rooftop deck with bar seating around the "fencing". Short wait for rooftop seating (check-in with the hostess on the street). Tasty Amber Ale and interesting Brown Ale (didn't try any others). They brew 4 onsite, but also have guest cans from other local breweries, including seltzers and mixed drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful. The "Bad": Nothing was truly "bad", but a few not so great moments: SO MANY FLIES! Now... you're sitting on an open-air rooftop deck, so expect some insects... but this was next level! Trash cans are covered, but used glasses and plates would occasionally stack up (you bus yourself) and the flying critters took full advantage. Shit happens (maybe why so many flies??!!!), but something to be aware of. Limited bathrooms on the upper deck (two located on the side you order drinks/food from. Clean enough, but have to line up near the ordering are which can cause some issues with crowding). Food. Just okay (regular bar offerings). Salads looked decent. Burgers were bland. Fries were crispy but not overly flavorful. Condiments from the self-serve section of the upper deck. Now... would I return? For a beer, yes. To eat - no. If you're in Ouray and thirsty, definitely check this brewery out - but eat first someplace else. read more

The employees were welcoming. There was a gentleman at the door who explained how the place worked. There were a couple flights of stairs up to the roof where you would order food and beverage. You would be served and find seating up there. You could sit at the dimly lit bar as you came in on the first floor. It was limited seating and folks were encouraged to head to the roof. There is a self serve station for plasti-ware/condiments and there are buckets with paper towel on the tables. Restrooms are also located on the roof. After climbing to the top, we put in an order for some lunch and beers. It is quite breezy up there depending on what side you sit. The view is really nice. You can see the town and the surrounding mountains. I had the Goddess Chicken and Fresh Veg pita sandwich. It had a fresh pita, with sliced grilled chicken, arugula, mix greens, roasted red pepper, carrot, pumpkin seeds, cuke, and red onion with a Green Goddess dressing. It was tasty. I paired it with their Mexican lager. My husband ordered a house salad with chicken and blue cheese dressing. He had a Pale that had little hop character. Personal preference. The music was louder to overcome the breeze and being outside. It was "country rock." A song about longing to return to Tennessee played on and on prompting us finish quickly and move on with our day. read more

After years of eyeing the swings at the bar we finally got to try them out! We've sn the available before but we always had our kids with us. The swings did not disappoint, neither did the food or the service! I love that you can get any of the burgers with grilled chicken. It is so tender and juicy. I love the stickers all over the place, so fun to read them all. The swings made for a very relaxing and enjoyable lunch. Heading back to the area in a few months and will stop in for another meal for sure! read more

The best buffalo wings I've ever had! The Korean BBQ and buffalo sauce were house special recipes and well worth the visit. The swings at the bar were also a nice, unexpected touch. Highly recommend this brewery! read more

Seeking to have a quick girl's day when I recently went to visit my best in Montrose, we popped over to Ouray. Upon arrival, I knew I need to check out a local brewery, and we figured it would be best to grab lunch too. So we chose to do just that at Ouray Brewery, and damn was that a solid choice! STAR #1 - THE LOCATION! Located on the Main drag, Ouray Brewery is easy-peasy to find. Bonus points for having ample parking on the side streets!! STAR #2 - THE SPACE! They offer up a large rooftop patio that we gladly made our way to soak up the sunny fall day and take in the 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains. There's picnic table community seating and a shallow bar top that circles the space. STAR #3 - THE SERVICE! The staff is ridiculously kind. Offering up suggestions for food, drinks, and just make wonderfully pleasant idle chit-chat. STAR #4 - THE SIPS AND BITES! The food and brews were exceptional. We each got a pour of the camp bird blonde. For the eats we chose to split the elote dip, a lonestar burger for my friend, and a green chili burger for me. While everything was delicious, the elote dip really stole the show. The chips were perfectly thin and crispy with a slight hint of lime, and the flavor in the elote dip its self really knocked our socks off - don't skip it! I think the biggest drawback for me was the price. It was a bit more expensive than I expected. We walked away with a whopping $70 tab before tip. Oof! While it's not enough to steer me away, It is absolutely something to be aware of. With my girl living on the western slope for the foreseeable future, I expect that we will make several more trips to Ouray and I will gladly suggest Ouray Brewery when we do! Cheers, Ouray! read more

Food was not amazing, but boy was it expensive for what you get. The only thing worth buying was the French fries. Don't bother for a side salad up charge, you only get a little lettuce on the side. Mold on the tomatoes for the burger. The soda was flat and no flavor. Not impressed for how much we paid. read more

After we hiked the Perimeter Trail around Ouray we were ready for food & refreshments. this place hit the spot. We were told 15-20 minute wait for a tab or we could sit at bar. I saw the custom made swings, said out loud "oh hell yeah we will sit at bar" Look at pictures at how fun that was. Bartender was very informative on beers that I may like, food was outstanding. Truly enjoyed the uni atmosphere. My beer really hit the spot. There is RV parking in town, just look for the signs. It is a little bit of a walk, but well worth it. read more

I was greeted with the words "Move, you're blocking the door". All I did was look inside to find someone to put our names in, think that was an owner. If she's not there it's another guy at the front almost as rude, I told my group to expect it and they did not disappoint on our last visit. It's like a skit on SNL or Seinfeld on rudeness. Bottom line with this place is the food is decent and the owners/staff are rude and don't want tourists in their place. But that's what it is, a tourist trap. Maybe they should sell the place and find happiness. read more

What a fantastic time at this brewery! Love the food, drink, and most of all the fun staff! Went twice, dinner and lunch. They have a nice antique looking building and you definitely get some great views from the rooftop! There's seating on three levels, and lots of food for everyone. I enjoyed the Beet Reuben, with tangy veggies and crispy rye bread. It was delicious! Try it even if you're not a vegetarian! My brother got a chicken salad, which he enjoyed a lot too. Nabbed the blonde ale for lunch the next day, enjoying the view off the roof. Art was a great part of our trip and he was so fun to have talk to. Can't wait to see you next time I'm in Ouray! read more

Some of the best buffalo wings of my life there were truly scrumdiddlyumptious. The service was also pretty good. They had a relatively small menu and some what high prices but not bad for the area. The inside was very nice. read more

Hungry and wet we ducked into Ouray Brewery for shelter and grub. We were seated upstairs and I believe his name was Taylor helped us. The decor is local flair with focus on mining and beer brewery so it was cool. I had the Burger of the moment which was a croquet of goat cheese with apricot jam on a handmade hamburger patty. It was so good it would make you slap your mama lol. My wife had the cheese burger and it was great. The fries are very good. This is a must stop for good food. read more

Come for the beer, stay for the chili! We have been twice already, on our four day stay. The rooftop patio has 360 views of the town/mountains and the food/beer did not disappoint.

We are in Ouray every few months, have been coming for a few years now. Ouray Brewery is always a must EVERY visit. The beer is great, food is delicious, & the service is always awesome! Marco was our bartender/server, he has been a few times that we recall recently & he is fantastic! Whether you are on the patio or sitting inside, it is such a great time! I love this place and will continue to come back & tell people to come. I will say, I did have one moment that put a sour taste in my mouth. Today, July 3rd is a rather busy day. If you have been to Ouray for the 4th of July week/weekend, you know it is one of their busiest weekends. Well every place is bound to have a wait when it is busy in a tiny town. The guy at the door getting people seated quoted us 30-40 minutes to wait. We kindly told him we had ZERO problem waiting as we were not in a rush, but he was kind of an ass & made it a big deal that we wanted to be on the waitlist. He even tried to talk us out of eating there & just going to grab sandwiches at the market... which honestly screws over his own staff out of making tip money. I use to work in a big city restaurant as a hostess with a 2 hour wait.... If people want to wait let them wait & appreciate the money they are choosing to spend at your place. Pretty sure he is the owner of the brewery, so you would think he would be happy people are willing to wait to spend their time & money there. But I won't let this one incident reflect in the stars of this review, because this has never happened & everyone else that works there is always fantastic!!! Again, must check out & enjoy!! Even if there is a wait!! read more

We love a rooftop and this one has views for days! After driving the Million Dollar Highway, I celebrated with tequila on the rocks while my husband enjoyed a local seltzer. The smoked salmon BLT was amazing! Fresh and tasty. House made salad dressing on fresh greens was perfect complement. Diane, our barmaid, was friendly and helpful. Service was quick. read more

Solid burger joint with a few options for starters. The beer is definitely the highlight, and will keep us coming back. It's a sure thing.

We love Ouray Brewery! Every time we are in town it is a must visit. Great little menu (recommend the French fries and Elote Dip) and tasty drinks. The view from the rooftop bar is an added bonus, for sure! read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday night. Business was hopping! Think its best to call for a reservation. Lines around the building. Wait time was only like 30 minutes or so though? But there was only 2 of us and we were happy to sit outside on the patio. Its bigger than it appears with having 3 levels. We were seated on top. On the top/patio we had to go to the bar/counter to order our food but that was okay. Once its done they call you. Service was friendly and the food was really yummy. I ordered a bowl or salad cant remember which and had impossible burger put on top. Had to swap out the dressings as the one that was supposed to be on there was not gluten free. I was really happy with my gluten free and vegan food. Can't remember what else was on the menu to know how many choices there were though. My friend also got a bowl/salad but she got hers with ahi tuna on it. I also ordered a side of fries to share. They are gluten free but not in a dedicated fryer. Would definitely go back if i were to happen into the area again. So good! read more

The service was fast. They had 5oz beers which was ideal for people who don't want to have the full pint. The food was fresh and the people were uber friendly. read more

Five star service, five star beer, five star atmosphere. When visiting Ouray, I can't recommend stopping here enough! We came 30 minutes before closing (posted online) and it seemed they were shutting down early. We just wanted beers, no food, but were happy to search elsewhere (we'd just arrived in town). They ushered us in and were more than happy to serve us. You don't get that kind of welcome in a city or corporate place! We spoke to a few different people behind the bar and they were attentive, friendly, and just plain good company. High spirits for a snowy Monday night. The atmosphere is awesome. The bar has incredibly comfortable ski lift swings and there are stickers EVERYWHERE. Apparently the owner has a thing for making stickers and I couldn't appreciate it more. The place offers a bit more of a divey feel than a posh place, and I'm about it. I can't speak to the food, but the beers were very good. $7 a piece in a cold glass and much better than the 5% or less water beer we'd been drinking in Utah. Loved it here. read more

This place is a must if you're in Ouray! I don't like beer, but they have several different cider options from which you can choose. I got the Green Chili Burger and added avocado. It was amazing!

We sat upstairs on the rooftop to see the view, which is spectacular. Unfortunately, we don't have pictures because we were so busy appreciating just how beautiful this town is.
