Sunpie's Bistro A laid-back dive bar right along the Yampa River with a great outdoor setup. Perfect for a casual drink during the day or early evening in the heart of downtown. Mountain Tap Brewing Awesome stop right downtown. Known for craft beer + really solid wood-fired pizza. Great pre-game spot before heading out—more social than Storm Peak but still relaxed. O'Neil's Tavern & Grill Classic Irish pub feel with reliable bar food and a prime downtown location. Easy stop for a casual pint or to kick off the night. Storm Peak Brewing Company A must-visit brewery just ~10 minutes outside downtown. Great craft beer selection and a chill atmosphere.
