Latest reviews from Pueblo
| 60 /100 120 RIVERWALK PL “This place is massive. Right on the river walk, the main event when I visited was a concert of some sort. I asked my server whether any of their beers were brewed using their coolship; the server didn't know, and although both brewers were there, they were too busy with the concert to answer. Both beers I had were incredibly sweet - one "sour" and one dark lager that was so cloyingly sweet it was undrinkable. Food was tasty.Based just on the one visit, I can't recommend this place, sorry.“ |
| 80 /100 126 S ONEIDA ST “This was the most fun place out of the three breweries in Pueblo. They bought the Walters Brand, a brewery that existed in Pueblo from about 1899 to 1975, but on the othe side of town, the brewery now long gone. However, the current brewery is in an old beer distrubution place from the late 19th century and the current taproom is in the old cold room with its thick walls. Good variety of beers on tap included the original Walters pils recipe, but they also had tasty chili beers, a delicious Oktoberfest and evcen a kettle sour. Excellent service and friendly locals. Multiple rooms, multiple outdoor spaces as well, with views over the railroad tracks and various industrial compounds. Well worth a visit.“ |
| 70 /100 108 W 3RD ST “On the north side of downtown just off Main Street. No trouble finding free street parking, but there are some paid garages a few blocks west. Two room place, one side has a huge long bar and the other side has dining room tables. Very typical saloon layout. Half a dozen house beers on offer plus some guests. Beer was decent enough. Food was above average. Friendly service. A decent stop if you're passing by. Good coffee place a block west.“ |
| 72 /100 108 W 3RD ST “Irish pub, near downtown Pueblo. Right off the interstate, with free street parking. Big, friendly bar, and lots of restaurant seating. The hostess and waitress were quick and friendly. A pretty fun spread of old-world styles, plus a few quality guest taps. The food was great pub grub, and the portions were quite large. Prices seemed reasonable, with $9 for a flight of 6, and $6 pints. Fun and enjoyable brewpub.“ |
| 96 /100 120 RIVERWALK PL “One of the best breweries in the state, and adds character with the building history of being the old police station. Right on the Arkansas River Riverwalk in downtown Pueblo, the lights of the season were on display outside. Inside, away from the cold air, we enjoyed a few beers while munching on appetizers. Solid German beers, a Czech Pale Lager on a side pull handle, a traditional Saison, and so many more well crafted beers.“ |
| 70 /100 120 RIVERWALK PL “Big place right on the riverwalk. The patio was pleasant and the interior was dark and inviting. The servers were friendly enough and quick. The beer selection was pretty quality, and the wine and cocktail list looked on point, too. The food we had was very good, and the wife enjoyed the iced coffee and baked goods. This was a quality find.“ |
| 74 /100 120 RIVERWALK PL “This is a sprawling, multilevel brewpub right on Riverwalk. I'm curious to know about the money or the brewer because the beer is really good. The atmosphere is stock sportsbar/old brewpub with an outdoor area overlooking a fairly sterile, concrete-lined river. Very Pueblo. But the food is satisfying and the beer spans a decent array of styles from pilsner to blackberry sour ale to Belgian IPA, etc. and it's quality. There's at least one more brewery in town that I have never been to so I can't speak to where this sits in the local hierarchy but it's most certainly worth a visit.“ |
| 98 /100 Big Bear Wine & Liquor, Inc. (Beer Store) 2037 S PUEBLO BLVD “This has to be one of the nicest liquor stores in Colorado. This place is huge and offers an amazing selection of craft beer. They have a giant beer cave that they claim is one of the the biggest in Colorado and after walking around in it, it’s not hard to believe. They also have a make your own 6 Pack door. If you want to try something out that’s not in the door, they’ll usually put it in if you ask. The staff is always super friendly and always extremely helpful. They also do a lot of beer tastings. I went to one of their tastings where they managed to get a Brewer from Oskar Blues down and talk about the beer and process. This is definitely a store to check out if your in Pueblo or even Southern Colorado.“ |
| 100 /100 Big Bear Wine & Liquor, Inc. (Beer Store) 2037 S PUEBLO BLVD “Having grown up in this town and moving away I was amazed when I came back for summer break to find a new liquor store was here. This place is awesome. I went to a tasting, which aparently they do all the time for free, the staff is friendly and very helpful. they carried my beer to my car, and everyone there seems to like there job. They have a big walk in cooler that has tons of cool bombers and get this, I asked the manager for pliny being funny and HE PULLED ONE OUT !!! If you are ever in Pueblo this is the ONLY liquor store you need to go to.“ |
| 80 /100 Big Bear Wine & Liquor, Inc. (Beer Store) 2037 S PUEBLO BLVD “Growing up in Pueblo, I can say there was really never a beer store like this. Yeah Spanky’s has a decent selection, but no real bombers and Hercules has a decent selection of bombers, but it is very tiny. This place is very large and well-decorated inside. They have wonderful service (sometimes 8 people on the floor on Friday/Saturday afternoons). The manager seems to know a decent amount about craft beer and the selection is the best it is going to get in Pueblo. They did have a good selection (nothing like other parts of the state, but damn decent) carrying things like Elevation Port/Lost Abbey, Funkwerks, Dogfish Head, The Bruery, Green Flash, etc. . . Plus a ton of six-packs, good prices, decent wine selection, and a build your own sixer, which I thought I would never see in Pueblo. If you are in Pueblo and want the best selection of craft beer in town, this is the only place to go.“ |
| 92 /100 Big Bear Wine & Liquor, Inc. (Beer Store) 2037 S PUEBLO BLVD “I felt like I was back in Cali. They have beer as far as the eye can see. A huge walk in beer cooler, and tons of craft beer. I picked up some New Albion and was stoked to read about it on Rate beer and actually be able to buy it in my town. I’m a sour guy and was pleasantly surprised with that selection too. If you are in Colorado you have to stop at this place. They have a huge selection and the store is awesome they actually have a big bear there.“ |
| 84 /100 108 W 3RD ST “This is a brewpub with typical old neighborhood bar ambiance. I had some amazing chicken parmesan pasta as the lunch special. The beer list is very safe, focusing on UK type stuff but there was an imperial stout available that was not shabby. Certainly the highlight of the list. Service was quite good.“ |
| 80 /100 Hercules Liquors (Beer Store) 112 BROADWAY AVE “Probably the best selection in Pueblo, as far as, rarity goes. I found some crazy good gems there that had been hanging around for at least two years. The owners here are great and really know their stuff when it comes to craft beer. Both knowledgeable and very friendly. You will not find service like you will here any other place in Pueblo and that is a guarantee. I am from Pueblo and when I go back to visit family this is the only place I go in town for craft beer.“ |
| 70 /100 108 W 3RD ST “This place is a setup like an Irish pub/sports bar and has a ton of tv’s throughout. Beer is very mediocre, but the food is awesome with service to match. Not top tier, but definitely one of the top spots in Pueblo.“ |
| 36 /100 Hercules Liquors (Beer Store) 112 BROADWAY AVE “I walked into this store based on reviews here. I was looking for something local that I couldn’t get where I’m from. It didn’t take long for me to get help and once I told Chris and Mike what I was looking for, they were eager to get me a beer that I’d enjoy.
The selection of craft/micro brews from the Colorado area was impressive for a store in Pueblo. Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely go again.
Shout out to Mike and Chris for their service and knowledge of beer. It’s not often you walk into a liquor store and get excellent customer service.“ |
| 70 /100 Cock and Bull (Bar) 325 S UNION AVE “This is an English style pub. Dark wood throughout, older crowd, cool hangout. The selection here is very minimal, but they suprisingly have Arrogant Bastard and Stone IPA on tap. You can get pints of these, Smithwick’s and Taddy Porter for $3, during happy hour! You wont be wowed by this place, but its definitely where you’ll find the locals.“ |
| 62 /100 Spanky’s Liquor World (Beer Store) 1415 W US HIGHWAY 50 “A lot of regional brews and domestics, nothing rare, at all. The service is not very good either, its hard to find people to help you and employees are not very knowledgeable about beer. The only reason this isn’t rated worse for me is because the beer selection gets me through the weekend, which is about how long I stay when visiting.“ |
| 66 /100 Bingo Burger (Restaurant) 101 CENTRAL PLAZA “When I visited Pueblo, this was my favorite place for a good beer. It’s a burgers and fries place with a fairly good selection of Colorado craft beers. I loved the sweet potato fries and was fascinated by the dipping sauce options (bacon mayo, cranberry bbq, garlic blue cheese, etc.). Burgers had grounded chiles in them; flavorful, but not the best burger I’ve had by a long shot.
I was pleasantly surprised by the beer selection. There’s a fridge with many different Colorado beers. Offerings from Left Hand, Avery, New Belgium (not just Fat Tire), Odell, etc.. Very good prices; all bottles $3.50. I went with Fade to Black 3 with my burger and was very pleased. Note they’re not designed to be a bar (only plastic cups), but this was the best quality selection I found in Pueblo and would revisit for fries and a beer or two.“ |
| 50 /100 108 W 3RD ST “I basically felt like I was in a dingy Irish pub that just happened to brew their own beer. Service was fine. Good deal on the sampler: $7 gets you 6 samplers, which on the day I went consisted of five regular rotation beers and my choice of one of three specialty beers (I went with the coffee stout, my favorite). The regular rotation beers ranged from ok to horrible. Another reviewer said it: many had a watered down feel to them. I didn’t try the food. On the one hand, the guy next to me said his steak was fantastic. On the other hand, he ordered two pints of the blonde lager, which I found atrocious. In all, if I ended up living in Pueblo, I’d probably homebrew rather than return. It just didn’t feel like my kind of place.“ |
| 50 /100 108 W 3RD ST “typical small town brewery / pub / sports bar. 6 beers on tap, 1-2 specials/seasonals. black IPA was so-so. food was bad.“ |
| 60 /100 108 W 3RD ST “Visited Saturday afternoon, it was mostly empty. Very tasteful and spacious, but more flatscreens than a BestBuy. The main bar area was comfortable, everywhere else was unbearably hot. Had a sampler; all the beers seemed watered down... pale ale was the best one by far; porter was phenolic; blonde was bland and tart; wit was okay and very citric; red was flavorless; double red was buttery sweet. Ate the blandest buffalo wings I’ve ever tasted. There were a whole lot of staff/servers, all very friendly but not too attentive. On par with average boring chain brewpub.“ |
| 74 /100 108 W 3RD ST “This place is a solid brewpub, but it gets extra credit for being the only brewery in Pueblo. The food is really good. The beer/cheese soup is some of the best that I’ve had. The service is normally good. Their regular beers are good, but their seasonals are much better. They also have a well stocked bar, with several Irish whiskeys and bourbons.“ |
| 82 /100 Hercules Liquors (Beer Store) 112 BROADWAY AVE “The owner/operators are great guys. They are always extremely helpful and friendly. One of the best craft beer selections in this town, and they always have a good recommendation.“ |
| 66 /100 Spanky’s Liquor World (Beer Store) 1415 W US HIGHWAY 50 “It’s large liquor store. Has a large selection of standard beer with a few regional microbrews thrown in. Prices were fair.“ |
| 94 /100 Hercules Liquors (Beer Store) 112 BROADWAY AVE “Mike and Chris know thier beer. I’ve been in several times and each time I ask them about a new beer they give an accurate description of what it is and how it will taste. They have a surprising selection of unique beer that rivals anything I found in larger cities.“ |
| 76 /100 108 W 3RD ST “Had a nice visit. Service was great. Food was good. Fair selection. Beer was decent. Would return.“ |
| 64 /100 108 W 3RD ST “The food is OK- nothing to go crazy about. I had a sampler of every beer they had on tap- I want to say about 12 or so at the time (the day before St.Patty’s). None of them I rated over a 6/10. None stood out- watery if you ask me. I’d pass the Shamrock if you’re looking for a microbrew to write home about.“ |
| 74 /100 Spanky’s Liquor World (Beer Store) 1415 W US HIGHWAY 50 “Large variety of 6/12 packs- but like the other ratings it lacks on 22oz beers- and those are the ones i was looking for. 2 of them I had recently purchased didn’t stack up anywhere near the ratings I found on ratebeer.com. come to find out looking at the bottle after i drank them- they were both over a year out-of-date. Hmm“ |
| 80 /100 Hercules Liquors (Beer Store) 112 BROADWAY AVE “Great place to get hard-to-find beer. Nice selection of top rated 22oz as well. Owner extremely knowledgable and helpful. Definitely my choice in Pueblo to find the good ones!“ |
| 88 /100 Hercules Liquors (Beer Store) 112 BROADWAY AVE “Owned/Ran by Mike & Chris. Small but well selected arrangement of micro brews from Colorado, and various other states as well. Also well selected mini collection of world class imports. It’s a new store, so they’re still growing in selection every month. Progressively gaining more and more well crafted ales, and just plain good beers. Seems like every time I stop by, there’s something new, or news of something new coming in. These guys are great. Really friendly, customer oriented, and really do care about bringing GREAT beer to Pueblo. Also at a really great price compared to others. You don’t meet too many beer store owners in Pueblo that actually care about, and enjoy good beer. These guys are the exception. Great little store!“ |
| 66 /100 108 W 3RD ST “Visited during the week. Decent amount of people in the brewpub, and service was good. Fair prices. Didn’t have any food. 7 beers on tap, which weren’t bad, but none of them really stood out.“ |
| 60 /100 Spanky’s Liquor World (Beer Store) 1415 W US HIGHWAY 50 “Standard liquor store environment; not bad but nothing special. Only employees were at the registers. Decent 6 pack selection. A little lacking on bombers. Decent prices. Not a place I would go out of my way for, but I would probably be a regular if I lived in Pueblo.“ |
| 74 /100 108 W 3RD ST “Small brewpub in a town that does not offer much beerwise. Irish themed. 7 beers on tap. Had 4 of them and the American Pale Ale and Double Pale Ale were pretty good. Had all you can eat fish for $8.99 which was really good. Rest of food was pretty good. Would go back.“ |
| 62 /100 Spanky’s Liquor World (Beer Store) 1415 W US HIGHWAY 50 “Decent sized liquor store. Mostly regional Colorado brews and some of the bigger Micros in six packs. They have Odell, Boulder, Stone, Victory, Bristol, and Oskar Blues to name few. Maybe 30 bombers all in coolers. Not a bad place for Pueblo.“ |
| 74 /100 108 W 3RD ST “I Love this place! The food is wonderful. The service is great and the EPA is WODERFUL!“ |
| 82 /100 108 W 3RD ST “This place is a gem, one of those treats for visiting a smaller town and venturing downtown. Aubrey’s rating turned me on to this place, and I am indeed grateful. The beer was good to great with bonus points given for the small operation. Six house taps were current with them out of a seventh brew, plus Guinness and Harp draught. The service was phenominal from the waitress being attentive to the manager bringing over a free desert to the owner explaining how he cannot seem to convince the brewer to keep the Grand Cru year round. The food is traditional Irish Pub fare and great. This is a must stop along I-25.“ |
| 76 /100 108 W 3RD ST “Happened to hit this place just a few weeks after it opened. It was clean and "open" inside, with nice decor ... exposed brick, tin ceilings, hardwood floors, and dark wood everywhere (yet it still seemed light inside). Nice and open bar with plenty of seating. I couldn’t believe how many flat screens they had! (at least 10 in the dining area alone). While we were there we had great service, and the appetizers we had were awesome. Even the honey-mustard sauce was made from scratch on-site and incredibly tasty. Pretty good beer to boot. Wish I could’ve sampled the double pale / imperial/double IPA.“ |
