An oasis of a dive bar in the increasing uprising of upscale eateries in mountain towns is what Sunpies is. Ice cold High life served of delicious Poboys and hushpuppies. Eat and drink while you watch the fish and floaters go by in the Yampa River, looking up the mountain at the old school ski jumps. Place your order with the witty and welcoming bartenders, and food will be delivered quickly. The Hurricanes are sneaky! Expect a chill time with friends. Love this bar. read more

This is the number one greatest bar in steamboat hands down. Here's the rundown of the greatest hits: Sam is the most fun bartender I've ever met, every time I see Sam at the bar my eyes light up like I'm seeing Santa for the first time. Jesse is my heart and soul, every time Jesse is working I know I'll get the greatest drinks and service of any bartender I've ever had the pleasure to drink with. Pat has also saved my ass many times from rowdy a holes coming from other bars. He's quick to jump in when people harass sunpies guests. And Ryan is simply just tall and handsome and the nicest security guard I've ever met. That's my guy right there. Go to sunpies or you are missing out on the steamboat experience! read more

We came in with high hopes, and honestly, the first part of our visit didn't disappoint. Great energy, great vibe, and bartenders who matched it. We were genuinely having a blast and telling each other how much we loved this spot. Then a mix-up with our food order happened. Instead of a simple "let's fix this," we got pushback and a defensive attitude when we tried to explain what we'd actually ordered. This was notably from one of the bartenders. As someone who's worked in bartending and service myself, I understand mistakes happen. That's not the issue. What matters is how you handle it, and in this case, it felt like our concern wasn't taken seriously, especially coming from ownership. That kind of response can undo a lot of the goodwill built up in a night. We still had a good time overall, and we're not writing this place off. We just hope that next visit, a mistake gets met with a little more grace and professionalism. read more

Georgie was an excellent server. We've been coming here for the past couple of years and love hanging out on the river at Sunpie's! Recommend! read more

Was very happy to have outdoor patio space and a cheap ($3) domestic. Saw some people eating sub sandwiches but didn't see a menu. When we were here they closed the outdoor bar at the end of happy hour but it was a Thursday so not very busy. Service inside was quick and friendly even though all the bar seats were taken read more

Why are the beers frozen a bucket of beer comes with ice and a fucking bucket. Freezing the beer as a six pack just ruins it and makes it flat, actually the dumbest shit ever. So when you freeze things it gets rid of the carbonation, and a flat beer is just a RUNIED BEER! read more

Went here three nights in a row because the setup makes it easy to interact with the crowd. Drinks were dirt cheap and the place shifts younger as the night goes on. Bonus entertainment: on two different nights we met two different self-proclaimed best carpenters in the area. Gotta love small town nightlife. read more

Awesome - 1 of the best things in Steamboat - if they have red beans and rice get it - gumbo and Cuban are also great / love the vibe - and the Yampa river read more

We really love this place. Low key, ok, maybe a bit of a dive bar, but... alongside the river, open air, and attentive bartenders... oh, but then there was SAM. Oh boy, this guy's gotta go. Four stars are for the past 10+ times we have been here and had fun.... and for the 2 female bartenders who took care of us when we arrived. Sam was rude, confrontative, challenged a 69 year old lady... have never seen this before... one patron came outside to help us calm down.... Thanks! Sam has gotta go. read more

If you come to Steamboat you have to come here at least once. I've come to ski here like 20 times and don't think we've ever left this town without stopping here. The food is unique in a great way and you won't find food like it anywhere else. I haven't had something from here I don't like and I think I've tried everything on the menu. The vibes are dope and in the summer you can sit along the river, which is awesome. Tried their wings today as they were on special and they were great! read more

I have never been so disappointed and disgusted by customer service before. To begin with when you first enter the restaurant you are NOT ASKED FOR AN ID but warned that you won't be able to get a drink. So yes, this place was filled with underage kids. When getting a drink at the bar, which took forever to get to with how packed the space was filled I noticed the bar tenders refusing to serve a group of very sweat Hispanic people for not tipping enough- ..... I tipped less and was not questioned. The blatant racism I noticed here was disturbing and felt dehumanizing as these bartenders purposely avoided serving certain clientele by their race. Would not come back or ever recommend this to anyone. DISGUSTING read more

After four hours of tubing, our seriously sunburnt group decided to pull off the water for some much-needed refreshments. Sunpies was the perfect spot to pull off! We deflated our tubes and dried off with a beer some french fries and chicken tenders (which we demolished). There was plenty of patio seating which was perfect for the sunny afternoon & we were able to get a shaded table with an umbrella which was perfect when some afternoon rain rolled in. Sunpies had a fun atmosphere and the service was great. We loved it so much that we ended up coming back later in the evening. Highly recommend if you're looking for a casual spot to drop in after tubing! read more

Unfriendly staff, unwelcoming bar, overpriced and possibly overcharged, and no tap. Would not recommend

I think it's 100% adorbs that Sunpie's is actually Sunpie's Bistro when in reality, they should label theirselves as a bar/gameroom/all around good time. I love Sunpie's for the atmosphere (lots of good company), the entertainment (cornhole, jenga and that ring and hook whatever game), their patio (right by the Yampa River too!) but mostly it's that Hurricane. Brace yourselves because even though they limit two to a customer, the first really packs a punch! Seriously good libations here! read more

Terrible food. Terrible service. Didnt let us in and we were 50 years old. Absolutely bad people.

I came in on a Friday afternoon and loved the vibes from the Bistro! This place had a lot of character walking in and I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere! Service and staff were super friendly! As for the food I ordered the Fried shrimp basket with hush puppies, Fried Okra, and the Muffuletta! I liked the shrimp and it's crispness! The hush puppies were super good with the honey and butter, it was a nice contrast to the shrimp! The fried okra was super yummy and the portions were beyond huge!! My party and I loved the muffuletta and we weren't used to it being warmed, but it was definitely game changer!! read more

Their website says 21+ after 9pm. I arrived at 7:15 for dinner with a 16 year old and was denied entry. Waste of people's time. :(

Such an awesome patio. We were walking through town browsing and stopped to have a beer. Storm Peaks Guava Sour is 10 stars! It was so relaxing to sit by the River and enjoy the weather! read more

wonderful service, lodge mommas abound. i very much enjoy having to tap 5 people on the shoulder to move around. once saw a guy drink a beer out of a shoe here. slurricanes add 20 degrees to outside temperature. would come back. read more

When you visit a place 3 times in less then 24 hours it's a sure sign that you had a great time! It's a fun friendly place to have a few drinks and a bite to eat. We arrived a little early as this was the start of our Pub crawl in Steamboat. We sat in the back room and perused the menu. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. They have a great variety of things to choose from . I opted for the 1/2 Roast Beef Po Boy with Hush Puppies. Yes.. HUSHPUPPIES!!!!! Never have I been able to get these little bundles of deep fried corn goodness with a roast beef sandwich. You order your food at the bar, this isn't one of those fru fru places. Yes they will deliver it to you and when they did.. oh man. I was not expecting anywhere near what I got. Little torpedoes of hushpuppie goodness and they serve them with butter!!!!! GENIUS!!!! The Roast Beef was ample and so tender. It was also a touch on the salty side but it was just too good to put down salty or not. Who in the world knew lettuce and brown gravy would actually work together??? Certainly not me but good lord it was heaven. The bread is amazing and light yet substantial enough to hold together with all the gravy. The portion at half is very large, I can't imagine what a full sandwich would even look like. It was so good I had to return the very next day to have the same thing!!!! Once we finished our meal the bigger festivities began, they never missed a beat as their regulars and over 50-75 of us piled in over and hour and a half as our first stop on the tour. Thanks to Gooch, Arnold and all the girls for making a great start to a great night! read more

Fun casual dive bar - great for appetizers and hurricanes. Just be warned that they have a kick!

Stopped in here on Monday after tent camping at Steamboat Lake. This is our go -to spot when we camp up in Steamboat because they don't give a crap that I'm covered in dirt and haven't showered for three days. You order everything at the bar and then find your seat. We got a great spot in the shade right next to the Yampa. They have one of my favorite outdoor dining areas in all of Colorado. Bloody Mary was good; it's pretty Plain Jane with no garnishes or anything but flavor is great and always a good pour. French Onion soup was really good. Lots of perfectly soften onions and gruyere cheese. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm glad I ordered it because my friend shrimp basket was just OK. Fries were great but shrimp was overly battered and slightly over cooked. Hubs loved his burger and overall it was a lovely lunch at one of our favorites stops in Steamboat. Can't wait to go back. read more

Tried to go in at 12:30 on a Saturday and was turned away saying they were closed. All hours posted everywhere said they'd be open. Could've at least put a sign up.. Looked like it was good food but will never know I guess read more

All the stars for the staff here, so nice and not sure how they do so much!! No stars for the food which was horrendous. I tried the oyster basket, nope, don't do it. Definitely a locals only hang, not a good spot for a solo traveler but I'm sure it's great if you live here and know everyone... Would recommend checking out a different place in town if you're traveling through. read more

Lovely casual vibe. The food was delicious and the garden seating was relaxed with a beautiful view of the river.

You literally can't beat the atmosphere! It's perfect. We didn't stay long though because I wasn't a fan of the drinks. We'd go back but stick with beer. read more

Affordable drinks, a kitchen, an awesome back lawn with tables and other seating overlooking the Yampa and hilarious sponsored porta potties make this place worth your time. It's really nice to sit out back and have a few drinks overlooking the river. The food is solid. I had the shrimp po-boy which was good, though I prefer my shrimp non-fried. They offer $1 tacos on Thursdays, but I haven't tried them yet. I had fun here. I'd go back. Note: They also have 2 real restrooms, not just the porta-pots. read more

This is out go to place when we stay in Steamboat; especially before and after tubing down the Yampa. The best seating is outdoors along the river where you can lounge out and enjoy watching the tubers go buy with a delicious drink in your hand. We always enjoy the hurricanes and po'boys. The atmosphere is very rustic and kind of a dive, but in the best way. Can't wait to return! read more

This is always our first stop on our annual bar crawls! We intentionally skip the first bar so we have more time here. No matter how crowded it gets, you have friendly people, drinks being slinged quick to you, and easy walking distance to your next stop. read more

What a comfortable unpretentious cool 'dive bar', if you will. Friendly attentive bartenders, and with quite the New Orleans flair, along with beer and food. We ordered Abita IPAs, on special for $2.50, and their version of a muffaletta, which was pressed, on poor boy bread, dressed with a tasty chunky olive salad, delish! It was kinda cool for outside seating, but I'm sure it would be great in warmer weather also. It is pretty laid back, so take a look at my pics to see if it's your kind of place. read more

Service: As expected, this place specializes in being low key and a good value. You find your own table, order food at the bar, and bus your table after you eat. The staff were friendly and to the point; the food took a while, but I'm assuming that's because it's a pretty small kitchen. Atmosphere: I've seen other reviews call this place divey, and that is totally true if you stay inside. However, they have some prime reality out back by the stream, which makes up for anything you see at the bar. It was one of the most relaxed dinners we had in Steamboat, and everyone was cheerful. Food: This place screams "value." All of the sandwiches are around $10 or under (although fries are $1.50 extra) and the fried okra was a steal for an appetizer; they gave us so much that we couldn't even finish it. My brother got the shrimp Po' Boy and he said it was delicious; I got the Mufaletta and it was equally tasty. The fries are nothing to write home about, but considering the price (and you don't have to tip!), this is one of the best values in Steamboat! read more

Fun to drink but the bouncers suck!!!! Mark saw his coworker really under the influence, but he didn't help her.

Poor girl, we hope she got home safe!! read more

Excellent food! The servers seem to have an attitude against their customers. They lack friendliness and hospitality.

Great food and great vibes. I visited twice during my stay. Once after tubbing and again as an after party for a friends rehearsal dinner. I loves the bartender and the waitress I had during the day. It seems to one of the hot spots downtown and I can see why The Hurricanes are so good and a two person limit read more
