    Beer menu!
    Jerry O.

    Food: pizza! With vegan cheese, tomato sauce and mushrooms. Delicious! Hot and made very quickly. Beverage: taster sampler of Dunkelweisen, Oatmeal Stout, Raspberry Blonde Ale, Pinstripe Red and Ska Ale! Not so easy to find but worth the effort! We walked! Ambiance was beer bar and good. Recommended!

    The container at Ska Brewery Order: Cheese Pizza (requested mozzarella instead of 4 cheese) 1. Cheese: 7 2. Sauce: 8 3. Crust: 9 4. Preparation: 9 5. Overall flavor: 7 Side notes: - crust cooked well (crispy on outside fluffy on inside) - Fresh mozzarella - Sauce isn't too acidic or sweet TOTAL: 8/10 I'm very picky with my pizza, rare I rate above 7. Would eat again several times

    The Works Pizza

    I absolutely love this place! It has always been my favorite snack spot being connected to Ska. But it is a big plus for Ska which has been my go to for beers over the past ten years. So.. definitely get a pizza, wings and if you want the salad. That's what I got. Most Def get the Jerk Wings!! The lightly burnt edges with that savory sauce!!!! Super messy but daaayum that sauce I couldn't get enough. It comes with a side blue cheese, chunky/yummy dressing. FYI I AM NOT A FAN OF RANCH. Lots of napkins! The Works Pizza with Marinara, Sausage, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Quattro-formaggio, Peppers, Onions, and Kalamata Olives. Mmmmmmmm I think brick oven pizza makes any pizza great! But this time I have to give props to the mushroom, meat and olive combo. Different tangs and tings but definitely had that spicy Italian kick. Good spot outdoor/open seating concept, they sanitized the tables right before you sat down, good vibes, lots of puppers and nice view! Great time when you throw in a Ska Beer or Seltzer on tap!

    Outstanding service by Megan. Great food, excellent quality at a good price. I tried a beer flight and enjoyed 5 of 6 samples which is very good for me. Very dog friendly. The burgers, pizza and wings were very good, artichoke dip was outstanding!

    While I agree with Matt H. that the local hipsters that bring their kids and let them run amuck while they drink beer should receive a beat-down, the food offered by The Container makes it tolerable. There are additional tables upstairs and outside, so one could find a rug-rat free zone. The Container has gluten-free pizza and buns for their sandwiches, something we really enjoy. The thinner gluten-free crust makes their pizzas in my opinion and I enjoy it over the regular crust. The burgers are top 5 in the area and their salads are fantastic. My wife & I get one of their pizzas and she get the beet & goat cheese salad as our go-to meal. With a couple pints of fresh beer, one of the best meals you can get in Durango! Hopefully Ska will clue in to the fact that people letting their house-apes run around kills the vibe and sets up an adult swim like area or hours.

    Tempeh lettuce wraps. Wow!

    I hate to inform you that if you're reading this, the Switchback has closed to be rebranded to a…read moredifferent restaurant. However, we had gone on its closing day and had some great tacos, salad, and ramen. Their birria is rich and meaty with a touch of cinnamon and was awesome as a ramen and taco. Service was efficient and drinks were cold. Guess I'm just writing this to keep my Yelp numbers up...

    We were *so* looking forward to Switchback, after reading just a few Yelpers share their thoughts…read moreabout this place! Brought the parents and man, Switchback did not disappoint. If you are a lover of well done birria, this is your place. Craving authentic Mexican food? Yep, this is your place. We started with their chips and salsa. I think you can tell a lot by the salsa at a place. Lemme just say, I was so very happy! Their salsa wasn't too chunky, not too thin and they are not afraid to season and add some heat - but hey, don't worry it wasn't too hot if you've got a dad like mine who isn't a fan of "too much spice." Such a good omen. I couldn't decide which marg to try so ordered a flight. Best decision ever. Even as I write this, I'm still hard pressed to choose a favorite. They were all so good. Add street tacos, quesadillas for my mom, elote cob, and switch fries for my dad and we were all happy campers. The flavors were obscenely good. Staff were amazing and stopped by to make sure we were always taken care of: fast and friendly. Best combo ever. The place is also super cute! Loved the bar and simplicity of the concept. Switchback has a quiet elegance while be so very casual. Perfect in my book.

    I don't know if it can be seen from the photo or not how colossally burnt and hard the chicken…read morefried steak was. To her credit, our kind waitress had the kitchen quickly make me a new one, but honestly it was still borderline inedible. This time, due to the salt. Not only was the meat heavily salted, but the breading was overly salted as well. I couldn't even taste the meat or the breading (or even the potatoes) because it wasn't a giant plate of salt. I ate all the broccolini, a few bites of potatoes, and a few bites of steak. I hate that all restaurants, because of patrons and their salt-conditioned palates, serve the most sodium-laden monstrosities possible. I didn't feel good eating it, I didn't want to eat more than a few bites, and I left the restaurant full of regret for the bites I did take. On the plus side, the beer is exceptionally tasty, and my kids both enjoyed their meals. We are leaving tomorrow and so we won't be back, but I wouldn't be back otherwise as well.

    Went to watch the final FIFA World Cup game. We had 13 and they were great to hold a table for us…read more It's a pretty big restaurant with a great beer selection, along with mixed drinks and wine. They also had tons of TVs which was great. Food- 4 stars Service- 5 stars Ambience- 4 1/2 stars Our server (I think Isaac?) was fantastic. He was super busy but always took care of us. We all ordered drinks and some food items. The spinach/artichoke dip was a bit heavy and overcooked. You def could not dip your chips in it. I got the poblano chx fried steak. It was good but also a bit overcooked. Some folks got burgers and pizza and they all said it was fine. Go for the service and drinks!! Fun atmosphere. Sorry- it was too crazy trying to get pics.
