    Arcade area
    Nyla R.

    To start, I cannot speak on the bar area as I did not go for the bar, but rather bowling with friends. The environment itself was extremely enjoyable and welcoming. It's getting closer to the holiday season so the decorations were awesome! The place was clean, busy (but not overcrowded), and staff was friendly. Prices for the games only really seem worth it if you're going in a group and splitting the bill, as they do it based on time increments and not how many games you'd like to play. Food was really good and I appreciated the vegan option for my vegan friend. Slightly pricey but to be expected for the area. Overall had a great time and would go again!

    This is an absolute full service experience for your evening. Good food, full bar, entertainment. Can't ask for more. Probably one of the most underrated places in Estes Park. Since the new owners took over and remodeled, this has become a regular stop for us. They also have great specials throughout the week so check their website!

    This was our first time going to this bowling alley. It's really nice on the inside. They have I think at least 8 lanes of bowling, an arcade that really isn't too shabby, a full service bar and a decent food menu. We ordered wings bone in and boneless wings, loaded nachos and an elk brat with fries. I had the same elk braut and it was seasoned really well. I love the flavors with it and the fries were nice and crisp. My daughter's boneless wings were not cooked all the way and still a little bloodied. When I went to go address it they seemed annoyed and told me that it's dark meat and I was like okay I get that but chicken isn't supposed to bleed. You can get salmonella and get very ill. They ended up making a new one but not without a little attitude. The actual lanes are really nice and there is several different games you can chose from to play. Either regular or just a fun game that breaks up the same thing over and over. Overall this place was great and we would definitely come back just probably not eat there. The food was okay.

    The beer was so nice I ordered the same one twice!…read more I put in 20 miles hiking Rocky Mountain National Park in a day a half. I slept about 4 hours the night before to make it early for sunrise. To say that a few tasty beers were what the doctor ordered would be the understatement of the century! None of this matters, of course, to the good folks at Rocky Cut Brewing Company. This is off the main drag of Estes in an unassuming strip plaza. Humble vibes inside, a simple U-shaped bar top with seating all around, a few smaller tables, a community table, and a large patio with mostly picnic table seating. If you're lucky, snag a stool right along the Big Thompson River! Though, I recommend they fix the wooden placeholders for beers, they're leaning on the wrong side of history, we don't want any full glasses of beer reaching an unnecessary demise! Interference IPA * American IPA * 6.7% * 16oz ($7) From their website: "Climbing the Interference Boulder in Rocky Mountain National Park requires strength and power. This Colorado IPA showcases the power of hops with an intense blend forging citrus aromas with a pine forward finish. Featured ingredients: Cascade, El Dorado, Mosaic, Chinook, & Simcoe hops * Recommended adventure: hiking Black Lake, climbing the Twin Owls, skiing upper Hidden Valley." A perfectly apt description. I would summarize this beer just as they did, focusing on hops, citrus, and pine. Absolutely delicious, a memorable IPA in recent memory. I liked it so much I ordered it again and it tasted just as delicious the second time down! They also had a food truck outside, so safe to assume they do this often. Would love to try more of their beers during my next visit. Rock Cut, I see you!

Staff were friendly, gave good recommendation, and their beer samples.

I heard this place was amazing and that it's a must try in Estes Park but please if you have high taste and are expecting big city level quality, do not get your hopes up! It's not good!! Maybe I'm being snotty for coming from a big city (DC and NYC) so I need to lower my expectations, but I've had great food in Colorado so I don't think that's it. But this was upsetting. And I do appreciate the manager for being so kind because it was really a miserable evening. Starting off we had a reservation at 6:30. So I expect to be sat at least by 6:35/6:40. We made this reservation three weeks in advance. But they clearly oversat people without reservations because we didn't get sat until 7:00. That was frustrating. We waited for drinks for about 20 minutes. They were delicious don't get me wrong. These were the highlight of the evening. The pear spritz and grapefruit margarita were fantastic. Loved. We ordered apps next. I don't know why they think goat cheese is a good addition to potato leek soup. I figured I'd try it because why not. Not good. And the focaccia? Two small slices for $4? I would hope that the waiter would've told us what we were getting because yikes. Why is there more butter than bread? We would've paid extra for two more slices but the transparency made us feel jipped. Now let's talk food. Took about 45 minutes. It's busy, I understand. But honestly I thought it might've been out earlier because our food came out lukewarm. Borderline cold. And talk about salt!!! It was like eating the sea. My mom and I both ordered the filet and were horrified to see it was cut. A filet. It dries it out! But yeah, there was no balance. It was salt on salt on salt. Gross. The waiter was very nice and so was the manager. They asked to take it back. But honestly it was just bad so we were ready to leave. They brought out two free glasses of wine which again was nice. But we again, just wanted to be done and go home. We didn't get dessert even though it was offered. Everything fell so short that honestly I didn't even want to try dessert. Again-- the food is bad. All extremely salty. If you like that, there you go. But the fact that it was basically cold? Yeah that's unacceptable. And as I said, grateful to the staff. But starting off not having been sat for 30 minutes after making a reservation weeks in advance? This was pitiful to say the least. Don't go here unless you want drinks and a beautiful view.
