Probably the bar food experience I've ever had. Rachel was a phenomenal server. We got one of their seasonal drinks (I forget what it was but it tasted like a Christmas tree in a beer) and one of their cocktails (it tastes like a liquid apple pie) and the food was through the roof. 10/10 will tell everyone to go here in Pagosa Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great food and beer! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Super-hyped Yak Meatloaf sandwich was dry as the Mojave Desert. Could've been made last week, then saved and nuked (I ate on a Sunday). I ended up feeding it to the dog...who didn't finish it. Served open-faced (though menu doesn't reflect that fact), but almost no sauce for an open-faced sandwich. I'd rather traded it for a Lunchable.Beer tasted like General Mills cereal. And that was an IPA. Staff was not very attentive.I gave two stars for the view of the river. That's what you pay for here...view of the river: Not food, not service, not beer. Mediocre everything.

Stopped in on a whim, as I 'm a sucker for a local brewery/brew-pub. Ordered a flight of beers and the Yak meatloaf. Waitress was great, better than what you get in most touristy towns. Beer was excellent, even the styles I usually don 't like were good. Personal Idaho surprised me because I usually stay away from IPAs but I really liked it.Here 's the bad: Ordered the Yak meatloaf. Sounded unique and I 'm adventurous. Meal came out in a timely manner, however the first bite I took was stone cold in the middle. Got the waitress to take it back and they clearly microwaved the meal again. The food still tasted good, but it was disappointing overall. They comped the flight, so I guess it all evens out.I read someone else 's review that had a similar experience. It seems like they need to make the meatloaf in smaller batches. Figure out how many typically get ordered on any given day and find a pan just big enough for that many servings, and when it 's out-it 's out. Scarcity with extreme freshness will outweigh abundance with poor performance every time.My brother said his hamburger was freaking delicious, and he liked all the beer. He 's a beer snob so that 's high praise from him.We ended up buying a six-pack of the seasonal Sut 's Faux-Knee (nice homage to a fallen local ski patrol). It was tasty and we drank it all that night! Highly recommend getting some of that.
