We had a great time at The Barrel! It's a pet-friendly spot with a relaxed atmosphere and a huge…read moreselection of drinks. We sampled a beer flight with four beers and also ordered a margarita. One of the bartenders was fantastic. She took the time to ask what flavors I liked, recommended a different liquor for my margarita, and customized it to better match my taste. It turned out great, and I really appreciated the extra effort. The male bartender was friendly, but I was a little disappointed when I asked if they could make an espresso martini. He said they didn't have the ingredients, even though they had another coffee-based cocktail on the menu. It would have been nice if he had suggested a creative alternative using the cold brew or whatever they had available. Not a big deal, just a missed opportunity. They don't appear to serve food themselves, but there was a food truck parked outside when we visited, which was a nice bonus. Overall, we had a great experience. The atmosphere was fun, the drinks were good, it's dog-friendly, and we'd definitely stop by again the next time we're in Estes Park.

There are normally several food trucks that surround the Barrel which gives you a lot of food choices. Inside reminds me of the old town bars with wooden tables and a floor that is covered with saw dust. 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!

The beef rib was really good too. A little pricey for one rib, but with the mashed potatoes and asparagus it's definitely filling. The lobster mac and cheese also was great too. Overall a nice space, nice and cool and air-conditioned on a hot day.. the staff was very helpful without me even asking they took some water out to my dog because it was getting warm out.

Unfortunately, the rest of the meal wasn't much better. The food was bland, uninspired, and nowhere near worth the prices being charged.

We decided to try Antlers Rooftop Tavern because we were excited about the rooftop views…read more Our server, Eren, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. There were a couple of mix-ups with our order, including Mezcal which has a very distinct taste accidentally being added to my margarita, and some incorrect side dishes but the staff handled everything quickly and professionally. Since the restaurant had only recently reopened with a new menu, the mistakes were understandable. I ordered the Smashburger with fries, and my friend had the chicken fajita sandwich with a salad. The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable for the area. The rooftop offers beautiful views of Estes Park and is conveniently located right in the shopping district. The only downside was the orange barrier coverings around parts of the rooftop while renovations were being completed. They blocked some of the views and took away a bit of the ambiance. Once those renovations are finished, this will be an even better spot. Great food, attentive service, and a fantastic location, I would definitely visit again once the renovations are completed.

TLDR: There was a large piece of plastic and a bone from the meat in my food…read more Service: Me and my friend were really excited for this place but the food was extremely mid. We sat down and about 10 minutes later, a couple sat behind us and our waitress visited and brought water to their table first instead of ours. In addition, another couple behind us was not seen by any waiter/waitress and had to ask a worker (who might have been an assistant manager? Although, not clear what his position was) if they can order with him. Overall service felt scattered, a bit slow overall, and unprofessional. Food: I ordered the tex mex bowl with barbacoa. It tasted as expected, nothing spectacular. However, there was a massive piece of plastic in my food. I let the waitress know and she apologized on behalf of the kitchen. I kept the meal because I hate waste and I didn't see any other plastic pieces in the food. Right after I found the plastic, I also discovered a bone in the meat. It was big enough to hurt a tooth if I had bit down on it but thankfully I spit it out before I chewed my food completely. While a bone might be normal to find in meat, I was certainly unhappy that now two objects were in this food. I was never comped for my meal and the manager never visited my table to apologize. I only write reviews if I had a fantastic experience or when I feel the need to warn others about the restaurant. I recommend choosing another restaurant before choosing this one if you prefer quality food and service.

We asked the bartender where we might be able to watch it and they suggested Bogey's. We took a little walk and there it was! They have an outdoor area, as well, the inside is more like a row-style layout and rectangular. They do everything in there, cooking bar foods, a bunch of TVs, and clearly happen to be a major baseball bar! So, they got the game on for us ASAP! And we got to watch our team come from behind and win the game! Yahooooooo! The guys behind the bar were so much fun! We did a little friendly poop-talking (part of sports, IMO!) but had a blast hanging with them and other locals. I'd definitely want to stop by here again next time I'm in Estes Park!!!
