Super nice bartenders and chill patio music. Nice lace to grab a beer/cider while hanging out with friends at a sunny table. Pro: dog friendly Con: close to porta-potties read more

Great outdoor dining very pet friendly good selection of beer and nice live music. Good selection of sandwiches and lunch food. read more

This bar left much to be desired. My party got 3 drinks and 3 entrees. It was very overpriced for what you get and the food was not very good; I dare say barely edible. There was live solo cover singer and that set a good ambiance. This place seriously needs to upgrade their food offerings. read more

The atmosphere was amazing. Great music and great outdoor seating. Great beer selection but the food for the price was just okay. Nothing special. I had the burger and beans. Beans tasted like they came from a can and my burger was a little too chard for my taste. My friend ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and she said it was a little dry but the Au-Jus sauce was really good. I think it is a hit or miss depending on how well you like your food cooked. read more

Great place to enjoy some live music on a summer evening! Nice staff, fun place with a nice selection of beer.

Nice outdoor area, live music and umbrellas for the tables to help with the heat but the burgers were awful! We could not take more then 2 bites and then our dogs wouldn't eat them. Cold beer was good though! read more

Always a great beer selection. Great bands every day I visited. Easy. Good time! Tables along the street for you people watchers. Dog friendly. read more

This was a nice relaxing break from the gift shops. Friendly staff, great beer selection, the sandwiches were delicious. The had a dude playing guitar, loved it. read more

Don't go here. Ever. There used to be a really cool, new, innovative bar idea here that took a lot that was empty for years add transformed it into a unique fun part of the community. Then the owners of "the slab" (really?!?!) raised their rent so high they had to relocate. Now instead of 64 tap beers you can choose from 8 bottles. Instead of a full liquor bar, you can have a box wine. Instead of friendly local staff, you have rude, disinterested people who don't care. There is a MUCH better beer place right around the corner where you'll be much happier. The slab is as interesting and fun as it's unoriginal name. Just don't go. read more

The Slab ~ Well, that's an accurate Name. It's a huge practically-empty concrete-slab lot that serves as a walk-through between Elkhorn (the main) St. & the Riverwalk. -0- Atmosphere, that's for sure. I guess that when the town is crowded for special outdoor events, it becomes a place to stand & hang out? These photos were as good as I could make it look. A few tables sprinkled around, a 1-Bartender tent, & 1 guy in a tent singing & playing guitar. Not even enough people to watch. read more

Honestly, skip this place. Beer is all bottle/cans, food is subpar, environment too industrial, staff is rude and disinterested. Thought the $5 bratwurst was a deal, but honestly a stadium hot dog for $11 would have been much better. And the extra dollar for sauerkraut? It was heated sauerkraut and gross. Why? Estes has much more to offer read more

Great outdoor restaurant that has live music. We enjoyed the food (nachos, blt, club & veggie wrap). There's an arcade in the back for the kids! read more

Good beers and friendly staff. Not a lot of fuss which is my speed. Right by all the shops. Perfect for families, husbands and kids. Does needs some taps to make it 5 stars. That being said a great selection of beers in cans and bottles. Good games to play for the kids. Also a fire pit when it's a touch cold. read more

Do yourself a favor and keep walking by. 7 of us were there yesterday and stopped by after visiting RMNP. Asides from the horrible service, the food was awful. Pork BBQ sandwich appeared burnt and left over from the week before. It was covered in sauce to mask the fact it was burned and obviously left over. Rubens left a long lasting taste still with me over 24 hours. Burgers were overcooked. Philly cheesesteak left one of us sick. They did not remember all sides and it took about ten minutes to even place the order at the tent! (That should have tipped us off.) Go elsewhere! read more

Terrible terrible long wait for food. Not worth the wait. It's been almost an hour and we still don't have food. Got our food after an hour and ten minutes. Absolutely disgusting. We had Philly cheese steak. Not sure what the meat was. Awful terrible. The worst ever. Do not bother! read more

Worst philly cheese steak ever! Cold roast beef and cold cheese on A bland roll for $9.75, never again. read more

Live music is always good! Beer selection is great & the Deli has great sandwiches. Staff was very friendly & recommend a lot of good beer advice! If the weathers nice check it out! read more

Very casual and free-spirited patio bar type deal right on Elkhorn, Estes Park's main drag. They have an excellent selection of all kinds of bottled beers, it's probably the longest beer list I have seen! Super laid back environment with outdoor seating and a small area for live music. This is an absolute perfect location to hang out with friends, enjoy some brews (even the obscure ones!), and maybe even hear some tunes. It is definitely pet friendly, so it is a good quick spot for those with pups. I was actually really shocked to see so many poor reviews for this place; I definitely think it is geared more toward a younger, more carefree crowd so it probably isn't the best place for people with children or people looking for a sit down meal. Expanding the beer list to include drafts would have bumped up my review to 5 stars! read more

Gorgeous venue, great service, made our night! We listened to music, drank good beer, and talked all night! Would 100% recommend!

We were simply looking for a place to grab a beer and sit outside on a beautiful fall evening. I would have preferred a beer on draft, but they had a decent selection of beers and I'm not against a can of beer on a patio. To our delight we played a game of checkers together and had some great laughs. It was a laid back, no frills kind of place and we had fun. read more

We had a great time at The Slab. Staff was friendly, the live music was awesome, and great beer selection. Awesome spot to hang out, play outdoor games, and relax in downtown Estes! read more

Expensive, very limited deli food menu that is not very well executed. The Philly cheesesteak had green peppers and onions on it, but they were not cooked at all. read more

What even is this place? It's like The Barrel, but the bottom of the barrel. Super industrial and sparse outdoor seating with overpriced lukewarm bottled beer. The only positive was the live entertainment, who we tipped when we left because we felt so bad he had to perform here. This place is a no. read more

My friend recommended this place to me after I had a bad experience at the Barrel. I asked the cashier about the history of the property and about all the different kinds of beers. He was a really neat guy that was very informed about the beer and the property. As I came for another round, I was steered into getting a snack. That Nacho Libre was absolutely to die for. Everything was so awesome. I can't wait to come back and hear Greg Green play again. read more

Live music was on point with a relaxing atmosphere and a great beer selection. I was in heaven. David J was on guitar and I could have stayed there all day listening. read more

Depends what you're coming for. Chilling and having a drink like me and wifey do?-perfect. Can't speak to the food though.

The food was delicious and generous portions. The music and ambiance was wonderful. A great place to take a break from shopping or just go hang out with friends, have a beer, play games, and just relax. read more

Terrible service! We walked up asking if we could bring in our pup, he was very good about that, saying we love four legged friends. I asked how the set up worked, he said "we have food from the establishment behind (can't remember the name of it), so here's the menu, pick out what you like and I'll be over to get your order". So we waited about 5+ minutes and he was busy taping up a sign, no indication he was coming over so I walked back up to the bar and waited while he finished taping up the sign and then placed the order. He put it in and I walked back to the table carrying my own drinks and waited. And waited and waited and waited. After about 45 minutes our hot dogs and Rueben sandwich still hadn't arrived. At no time did anyone check on us. One guy was eating his own food and the other guy was playing on his skateboard or jumping to see if he could touch the top of the tent. At the 45 minute mark we overheard a conversation that they hadn't even made our order yet. We got up, asked for a refund and left. My friend said to the guy that he should have paid more attention to his customers, his reply was "the kitchen was over there". They had no interaction with the other 5-6 tables also there, and were not even working. Unacceptable! read more
