First time here! Awesome BBQ and great beers. I had the green chili pulled pork nachos and the Bridge Club beer. Such a great place! This will be my go-to on the way back down the hill from now on.

Place is over priced and their food is disgusting. Their beer was decent, I only took a sip because we were heading back into Denver, but I had their buffalo burger and it had no flavor and looked like a pressed patty from McDick’s. If you want to pick up a growler of beer, do that, but don’t waste your money on their food!!!
