Colorado Mountain Brewery

Friday afternoon visit. Nice building off the Interquest Parkway. Does have a "chain" feel. Fairly large dining area. Service was just fine. The six house taps were very average. Did not try any food. Doubt that I make a return visit.

Nice restaurant and bar, akin to a normal chain restaurant. The exception being the windows into the brewing area. It was fairly busy, but the wait staff was impatient and forgetful. Short list of thier house beers, which are pretty standard for a brewpub (IPA, stout, blonde, pale ale, and amber), but they did have three seasonals, which broke the mold a little bit. Even though they didn’t do anything unusual, all of their house beers were more than acceptable. The appetizers we had were nothing short of fantastic, though. The food is a pretty well priced, as is the beer. Unfortunately for this ticker, their notion of a ’short pour’ is 16 oz., and a large pour is 25 oz. This is a very nice restaurant, and their house beers are surprisingly solid. Not a place for ticking oddities and beer-geeking out, but a nice brewpub, nonetheless.

I came by here during Pikes peak hill climb weekend around 9pm ..I sat at the bar and there was plenty seating open....House beer line up was solid but I didn’t notice the guest taps which I saw they had some...Food was very good and service was solid..A good stop indeed.

This is another pretty stock large brewpub/restaurant but not totally boring as they have some interesting decor around and a good view of the fermenters and a nice patio overlooking the distant mountains. The service was stellar at the bar during lunch hour. The food is above average with some interesting options on the menu. It’s a little pricy, but I would say worth what you get. The beer is definitely lacking, unfortunately. The six taps are very safe and predictable, and the quality of the beer is not up to snuff. The hefe and blonde ale left something to be desired.

Visited in late summer. Definitely a chain brewpub feel but this place has some nice attributes. patio looking at mountains. I had GREAT service from bartenders. salmon salad was very good. beer is average; not worth an out of way trip, but if you are in the area...

rock bottom atmosphere. next to a cinema just off the freeway. the IPA was one of the worst beers I’ve had in years. the hefeweizen was sludgy. godawful brewery. avoid.

Pretty cool brewpub. Half the beers were average to good and the other half were rotten. I’ll definitely be back in the future to try their food.

Shitters: have yet to visit

I really wanted to like this Air Force heritage business, but I’m sad to say they don’t deserve your business. Some of the worst service in any restaurant in Colorado Springs. The beer isn’t bad, but it isn’t anything special either. Tried the 7258 (ho hum, a little too sweet and bland), the Panther IPA (not bad) and a special brew not on the menu and name escapes me (almost a porter dark ale style, a bit too much brunt flavor overwhelms the palate). No better than Judge Baldwins and not as good as Bristol, Rockbottom, or Phantom Canyon. The food is cheap--but it is cheap food. You aren’t paying much but you aren’t getting anything worth going out of your way for (and you certainly aren’t getting anything worth the wait!). The salad was quite good but the entrees quite ordinary--hamburger not cooked as ordered, and chicken fried steak a long way from a good Texas chicken fried steak and skimpy on the cream gravy. On a Friday evening, we waited for over 35 minutes for a table, while there were over a dozen tables empty and just sitting there. No explanation, nothing. People who arrived latter were waiting longer, and they never filled the tables. Talked to the manager after dinner, and he really seemed more interested in justifying himself than improving customer service. They haven’t been open long and what is supposed to be one of there best beers was not available (and apparently they had been out last weekend also as the people next to use said "again this week" when they found out--they haven’t been open that long!). Also, a glass of wine arrived with a huge amount of lipstick on the glass--it obviously had never seen the inside of a sink since its last use let alone a dishwasher. The server said "sorry" but I still paid for the glass of (replacement) wine; this is very low rent behavior on the part of the management. Any reasonably decent restaurant would have comp’d the glass of wine. And that makes you wonder about the over all sanitary conditions of the kitchen and bar.

Nice building that looks like it belongs in a resort town, with loads of outdoor seating. The service is very attentive, and Andy the brewer may even happen by. The food is very good and not particularly overpriced. Nice mountain view from the patio.

Beautiful building and location, food delectable, the chicken fried steak is fantastic. Decent happy hour with a couple beers fitting my style. They are trying to catch up with demand on their beer selection, so the one you may love may be out for the night - but all in all an awesome place to hang out before or after a movie at the very nearby theater, or to just grab a bite and a beer.
