Really love these self-pour breweries. The selection was a good mix between dark and light beers. The food didn't look too great so we decided against it. Prices were decent and I loved the decorations in this establishment. read more

Trails End Taproom - Friends! - Beer Bar Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

My friends and I dropped by here for a late afternoon lunch. I like their fast casual vibe of ordering at the counter and having your food come to the table you choose. Food: My friend and I shared the combo appetizer that came with fried mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini and fried mushrooms. All the items were good, but I wish the items were a bit warmer. I also ordered a veggie burger. The burger was good, and I'd order it again. Service: Service was pretty quick. You order at the counter (including your drinks) and the food is brought to your table. If you ordered something from the tap, you would go over to the bar it grab it. Our food came out promptly. No one in my 8 person party waited too long for food. TL;DR - would recommend this tap room with good drinks & good food with quick service. read more

We just ate at the Trails End Taproom and it was fantastic! The new owners have only been there two months and they are offering Thai, Ramen and sushi! Some of the best in town. The service was great and the atmosphere was extremely comfortable and welcoming. We would highly recommend them. Stop in and enjoy some great food. read more

Trails and taproom is a pretty unique place. You're responsible for your own beer tab just get a glass and fill it at your favorite tap charged by the ounce some beers as low as $.40 an ounce some are more like a dollar an ounce like a quad, barley wine, etc. those are expensive beers They're currently doing flatbread, pizzas and sandwiches and wings. Nice atmosphere if you're ever irritated by under poured beer at the big restaurants, I'll pick on Buffalo wild wings for one usually the pours 4 ounces short but they're charging you for a full 20 ounce irritates the heck out of me here you get what you pour! read more

Very interesting! You rarely find a "lodge" feel offering sushi and a self serve beer wall. We ordered a couple rolls, they were both very good. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars because I thought the drink selection on the wall with lacking. Definitely worth visiting and we will go back. read more

Great beer and pricing. You come in, set up a tab, get a card, then pour whatever you want and as much as you want. They and maybe twenty options of beers and you can bring over food from Felipe's in the same building. The seating was clean and we ate inside, but outside looked good as well. The staff was friendly and showed me how to use the system, since I hadn't tried this before. read more

Decided to try this restaurant out since it was close to our Air BnB and had decent reviews. I was not impressed. First off, I didn't realize that this was a self serve restaurant. The only think they do for you is bring your food out. I like restaurants that do this but only if they can do it properly and I didn't get the impression that this restaurant could. It was confusing because usually restaurants like this just have a counter with a menu posted above like a fast food restaurant but this one had menus that you took to your table, picked what you want and then got back up to go to the front and order. Kind of redundant at that point. Another downside was the big "selling point" of this place is the drink wall which was completely shut down when we went. If it ain't going to be open all the time then don't bother having it. Finally the food. The onion rings were probably the only good thing I ate. The beer cheese pretzel was definitely just a frozen pretzel with canned spicy Queso. The chicken tenders were horrendous. If you're going to charge $17 for chicken tenders they better be good. Instead they tasted like frozen chicken tenders. The fries were average, nothing to complain about. The mashed potatoes were also the only other good thing I ate. As for the staff, I mean you don't really interact with them much but the interactions we did have were good. Overall I think this place is just in a limbo on what they should be focusing on. If you don't need to spend money on wait staff then invest in good food and good cooks. This could be a successful place if they just figure their stuff out. read more

Loved this reinvented version of "The Mason Jar"! Amazing wall full of beer, wine, cider, and cocktail options. They give you a card to open a tab and you use it to fill up your own glass (pay per ounce). My beer was less than $5! The staff was super patient and knowledgeable in teaching us how to use the wall. The vibe inside is updated and modern, but still had those mountain decor feels. The patio is huge outside with lots of seating options. The chicken fried chicken was amazing! I got the lighter potion and it was the perfect amount of food. Will be back!! read more

Astonishingly terrible food, the server "made" the wings then mixed them in Tupperware. Great place if you like paying 20$ for microwave food read more

Kitchen is short staffed. Our food was fast but they closed early. Nice beer selection. They had California Creamin! From MO and I haven't been able to find it anywhere since I tried it in Hawaii in 2022! Fish N Chips was real food! Flatbreads all sounded fantastic. The Chute did not disappoint. Basic veggie burger but always a solid choice...no complaints! Sampler of Awesomeness was exactly that! read more

Stopped in after our trek up Pikes Peak. My husband found his favorite Colorado beer on their tap. The servers were super nice and we were especially impressed by a young teen who was working there. I imagine this is a family owned biz (I could be wrong) but it had the feel and I really appreciate well run, family businesses. read more

Sharing feedback sent to Trails End: Went to your location on the Westside at 11 am last Friday. Hostess confirmed they were open at 11 when a woman interrupted and said they weren't open until 11:30. I said we had just checked the website and it said 11. She replied that she was the GM and the website is wrong and they were closed until 11:30. We left and discovered a restaurant in Manitou as a result of being turned away, so for that, I am grateful. But her attitude toward us kept gnawing at me as I am a customer service manager for a Fortune 200 company for 26+ years. I took the time to look at your yelp reviews and noticed a trend - this "GM" was mentioned several times in negative reviews. I also noticed that your reviews have been consistently low in the last 7 months. Let me guess when this GM took over. The irony is that we have frequented the previous location several times and had excellent service. We even bought gift cards during/after the pandemic to help support your business. Sorry but I will be posting this to yelp just in case your GM is in charge of everything at your company, including monitoring feedback. read more

Fix your handicap sign out front. I do not know if you are responsible for this or Hammonds, but I tore the sleeve of my nice down coat on the wiggly very very sharp sign. If I had not had on a coat I would have damaged my skin on my arm. This sign is very dangerous and someone is going to be hurt. Attach it better and put some rubber on the edges. read more

Wow, I just love this place! If you can never pick a drink, or have commitment issues in general, this place is for you. It's such an interesting concept- right at the start, they ask for your ID and credit card, and then you get a card that you can use to serve yourself beer. They have different glasses (for if you know what shape to use for different kinds....not that I do....), And they have about 40 drinks on tap. Most are local Colorado craft brews, but they also have craft beer from around the country as well as nitro cold brew coffee, wine, and cider. During summer and around holidays they have a seasonal selection too. Found a new favorite pumpkin beer that way (yea, yea, I'm pretty basic, get over it). They have some pretty bomb food too, I love their white queso and pizza selections. The whole place is decorated like the outdoors, and they have trail maps to use to find your next hike or bike ride! I also love the rocks for playing around making cairns while you enjoy your beer. And the squirrel thing.... but you need to see that for yourself! read more

We have been going here for years when it was called the Mason Jar and knew that it had been sold. They appear to be catering to the young bicycles, drinking crowd and that's OK. As for me, the food was bland at best. Some of the staff was just really nice and it's an interesting concept. It appears that one was really good help, one was too busy to take care of customers because she needed to put her makeup on and the lady bringing the food out was a stick in the mud. Goodbye, comfort, food hello yuppies. read more

I've been to Trail's End before they moved into the Mason Jar location, and a couple times since. The first time, we had servers come take our orders, deliver our food and drink, and bus our table, etc. This time, my daughter and I had to go up to the register to place our order, go get our own drinks, get our own silverware, napkins and condiments, and when we were done, we had to bus our own table. A server brought our food out from the kitchen. That was it - no one stopped to check and see how we were doing, etc. When I paid the bill, it had auto-tip options for 18-25%. I usually tip very well, but didn't in this instance. I don't know what I was tipping for here - my daughter and I did most of the server work myself. As a final little jab, when I first pulled up and parked, walking away from the car, the owner or manager asked me to park in a different location, because they were having a group of cyclists show up. No big deal, but why didn't they section off that area earlier - when they opened? Food is fine, beer is good but I don't like the idea of going to a sit down restaurant, and doing everything myself, and then having to tip servers that didn't do anything for me. read more

First time trying out a card-swipe taproom, and I wasn't disappointed. They seemed to be very heavy on the hops, and I am not a hophead - a more well-rounded selection should be easy to achieve with their dozens of taps (need more ambers, porters, etc.) Regardless, I loved being able to sample lots of beers without having to harass a bartender for taste after taste, and didn't have to use a bunch of little glasses. Taste, rinse, go for more. Food was decent with limited selection. The in-house bike shop is terrific; the place is very much geared (ha) toward cyclists, specifically mountain bikes. My spouse had already told me about it and he loved it. Trivia was fun and our Yelper team crushed everyone! read more

Don't recommend... it is NOT the former "Mason Jar" as the road sign falsely depicts. Awful system of taking order at register then sitting down then self serving beverages. Two of our orders were lost, one never arrived even after telling people THREE times, including the manager. We ended up having to leave because one of our guests orders food never arrived. I hope today was just a bad day for them and not indicative of bad management. read more

This place is very cool and I loved my experience here. My fiancé and I are traveling and needed somewhere dog friendly where we could eat, and this place was great! The food was amazing. We ordered "The Pearl" which was a BBQ chicken flatbread, chicken fried chicken, and the mojo bowl to split as an appetizer. If you like KFC bowls, the mojo bowl was like the best possible, homemade version, and it was DELICIOUS! The beer on tap is really cool. There's tons to choose from and so many different types of beer that there is something for everyone! I would go back here in a heartbeat! Great place. read more

Stumbled upon this place while traveling to Colorado Springs from out of town. Perfect place for after adventuring in the nearby Red Rock Canyon or Garden of the Gods.

This is definitely not the old trails end. The beer and food are two different payment locations. The food offers nachos and bad hamburgers. The burger had a bad excus for a patty, very thin. They asked us what we thought and we told them the food was bad. They did not want to hear that and ignored us when we walked out, as they were talking behind our back. Won't be going back. read more

Liked the beer service option of trying as many as you'd like until you find the one you love. The flatbread pizza was fantastic, as well as the pulled pork on sourdough, and smokehouse bbq burger. Loved the mozzarella sticks! The servers & hostess's were friendly and the service was fast. Would definitely go back. read more

If you are looking for a fun place to gather with your friends or a new date night place, this is definitely the place for you. This is a fantastic place to hang out and sample as many beers, ciders, and/or wines as you desire. My husband and I ventured there one Sunday evening after dinner to check this place out as part of our weekend date night. After being shown how to use the taps, we tried several of the different beers that they had on tap. The atmosphere is amazing and very fun. It was great to be able to pour as much or as little as I want. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking an unique place to hang out. read more

I'm giving a 1, but you could be a 5. Please decide who you are serving. Is it the traditional American food chicken fried everything who would never hit a trail crowd? Or is it the hiking biking running community who you've modeled your taproom after? If it's the latter can you please adapt your menu to show it. Some healthy options would be amazing. read more

Awesome place. Great service with a ton of beers to choose from. Only got beers but all of the food around us looked good. We will be back!

From the moment we walked in, we felt like we found one of "our places". The decor and ambiance is aesthetically dead on. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. They explained how everything worked and made sure we didn't have any questions. The menu was well rounded and had something for everyone. An awesome addition were the gentlemen picking their guitars and singing. The food arrived and everyone was in love with what they ordered. We can't wait to go back! read more

Love this concept! Love the design so much! The trees used inside were all taken from the Waldo canyon fires. You walkin and they have you get a wrist band and order food if you'd like. Then you get to choose from a variety of local beer, wine, cider and mead. You can pour as much or as little as you'd like. I love the variety of choices. The menu looked fantastic but we already had dinner plans. I WILL be back to try the nachos I saw! They had a Girl Scout cookie pairing the day we came in, which was so cool! You could get a variety of cookies on a plate. Can't wait to come back! read more

We enjoyed our dinner at the tap room, good menu choices and many drinks to choose from!

A great place! We walked right in and were greeted by a friendly receptionist, who took our food orders and handed us cards to grab drinks. Listen, this is not a place for normal American "hand-holding" service. I've seen a number of curmudgeony reviews about this not being like "other" restaurants... but it isn't like other restaurants. It says as much as you walk in: order food at the front counter, grab your table number, and go tackle the drink wall with your card. World's your oyster, and you don't wait on anybody to bring you your next pour. You pay by the ounce of drink with each tap listing each price, and the drinks are fairly priced for that arrangement. If you can do simple math in your head, you can figure out how much a pour is worth. If not, the screen displays how much your tab is, and adjusts with each new pour. If you're like me, sometimes you don't always want to jump into 10-16 ounces of a beer you've never had before. Pour a quick few ounces, give it a taste, go back for more... or don't. It's a simple system when it's working effectively (I called ahead to confirm they had fixed their drink wall, which they had!). There is great variety, from light and dark beers to tap cocktails and a few ciders. We grabbed a few apps as well, and were impressed with the food quality. Come give this place a try! read more

Showed up a little past 9 (maybe 9:10) on a Saturday night. Staff already flipping chairs and telling me that they're closed, even though their posted closing time is 10:00.

Tonight was my first time here, for a Yelp event, meeting our new Community Ambassador- hooray! I love how you can pay by the sip and try a lot of different things- such a cool idea. I'm not much of a drinker but I enjoyed trying the ciders. The sparkling black currant cider was really good! The staff working were really helpful with suggestions and I really appreciated that. People in our group seemed to all enjoy their different options too. They had trivia at 7 which is good to know about. Great unique place with a cool atmosphere! read more
