She was yelling things like, "Take care of your kids!" at them while the children were simply playing in the outdoor seating area. This business advertises itself as family-friendly, yet the children were left crying after being screamed at for innocent play. From what I observed, the woman appeared to be intoxicated. There are plenty of other great places to enjoy a beer in Estes Park where families are treated with respect.

You can bring your food inside and then imbibe on great selection of adult beverages they have to enjoy your food with. Dog water bowls are provided throughout the establishment if your pups thirsty add well. Fun place to stop and fill your tank!

Best parts: free beer sampling beforehand, options to get a flight if you don't want to commit, plus plenty of other drink options as well for non beer drinkers. Also - try their BISON SHORT RIBS for one of the best meals of your life! It was a specialty menu item, so I don't think it's a regular, unfortunately!! I love Moscow mules, so I tried their Longs Peak Mule Colorado Vodka, pineapple juice, elderflower liquor, simple syrup, ginger beer, butterfly pea tea - sounded great! But when it was too sweet, our server, Sophia, worked hard to make it work for me. In the end, I switched to a more predictable Brew Pub Fashioned. Fabulous service!

As for the food, I wasn't overly impressed. I had the corned beef, which was a bit dry, and my Caesar salad was heavily dressed, making it a little overwhelming. We also ordered a pizza and wings; both were okay but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it's a fun spot to grab a beer and hang out with friends, but the food didn't quite live up to the atmosphere for me. I might come back for the drinks and ambiance, but probably not specifically for a meal. I have to say though our waitress was super sweet and attentive her name was Mahi (yes like the fish) lol

My husband loved and would recommend it. We both grabbed some Parmesan fries and DEVOURED them! Incredible, 10/10. I had the pulled pork and was admittedly a bit disappointed in it being somewhat dry. Though the coleslaw on top was nice, as was the overall flavor! I wouldn't rule it out, I just may not have gotten it on the best night. I should also note that some say it's downtown estes. And it is technically walkable, I THINK, because you can walk along the river, but it's a bit far from what I would personally call "downtown" if you were to walk. I'd recommend driving unless you want a longer walk. They have plenty of parking, though we are here in the off season. The staff was kind, but we had little interaction. Overall, I'd try it again.

Their charcuterie options were also abundant but we opted for the Colorado wild game sausage board. So worth it to try some exotic meats including elk, wild boar & blueberry, and the most interesting in my opinion...the pheasant and rattlesnake sausage. All were flavorful and went well w the beer cheese and jam but I personally loved the elk sausage the most.

The staff is outstanding--everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. You can tell they really care about what they're building here. The wine selection is excellent, and their flights are a steal at just $14. They also offer meads, mulled cider, and an entirely new food menu that pairs perfectly with the drinks. There's clearly a lot of thought going into the experience now. We also heard a new deck area is coming soon, plus plans for a paella night--which honestly sounds amazing and gives us even more reason to come back. If you haven't been to Snowy Peaks recently, it's absolutely worth another visit. They're doing great things and it's becoming a must-stop spot in Estes Park.

It came with a decent portion of meat on a very tasty bun. You also get one choice of sides: coleslaw, fries, homemade kettle chips, smoked beans, side salad ($2 extra), Mac and cheese. I opted for the smoked beans. Flavor was good. However, beans were way undercooked and had much too much sweetness to them. I would definitely not order them again. My partner ordered the same sandwich with the Carolina BBQ sauce and had the coleslaw for the side. It was a typical coleslaw and nothing different from the usual or expected. My favorite Aunt ordered the smoked chicken club and she was very pleased. The chicken had a very nice taste of smoke without being overpowering which is easy to do with chicken. The kettle ships that she ordered were homemade and delicious. (sidenote: when asked, the server had no idea if the kettle chips were made in-house from from a bag) Overall, it wasn't a bad place to eat. If I was in town again, personally, I would probably try another place but not because this establishment was bad in any way, just to get experience elsewhere. I would not recommend the smoked beans side dish and the staff need more training on the menu so that she doesnt look silly in front of customers when answering questions.
