Brues Alehouse Brewing Co.

This is what an alehouse is all about. Quality food, beverages, service, and atmosphere ! I had the Gnome burger, just one patty, and can understand some previous reviews that ordered the double smash burger and had to remove one. Wonderful taste and all the extra fixings made my burger 3 inches thick. Thank you for using red onions since they rule the onion world. My waiter Dylan was always right on the spot when I was about to signal him, meaning he was there first and aware of his customer needs. I was a professional waiter at Enchantment Resort in Sedona for several years and would have hired Dylan any day. He has the efficient, quiet, European demeanor that high end establishments admire and reward. The Cabernet I chose at Dylan's recommendation was luscious and required a second glass in order to fully evaluate a liquid miracle. I was dining alone and could add that if you plan to have a conversation with others you might find the indoor sound level too high. That said, instead, dine outside on the fabulous patio and listen to the relaxing sounds of water fountains and the breeze. If it is busy you might have to get on the waiting list for outdoor seating, however it will be totally worth the wait. Have a drink inside as you wait. It's a party atmosphere and completely cool and you might even change your mind and join in the festivities.

Fantastic location on the Riverwalk with this converted jailhouse, delicious food served quickly,awesome atmosphere, and great service . We ordered the Soft pretzels with cheese and spicy mustard, lollipop chicken drumsticks, chips and salsa, salmon, all-American burger, and the very unique and delicious Pueblo Slopper! There were additional items that we ordered which I don’t remember, but the others in our party of 6 enjoyed every single item. Our server was awesome! Attentive, friendly, and efficient! Highly recommended! Enjoy the fantastic food in a perfect venue with amazing service and friendly patrons ( locals and visitors) and stroll the Riverwalk! Enjoy the wonderful hospitality of the great folks of Pueblo!

A fun and interesting menu with great service! We ordered the chicken lollipops and they were delicious. I ordered the single patty burger and added green chilis, love that the green chilis were nice thick slices and not chopped. White cheddar cheese pulled it all together. The fries could be better. And the ketchup seemed house-made? We were sat promptly and sat outside on the smaller patio. Our server Matt was very knowledgeable and great with his descriptions with the menu. He was professional, prompt, great about checking in and filling drinks.

Came in on Friday 8/8/25 for dinner. Dylan was our server. Super friendly and attentive. Beer was really good as was our food. French dip and burgers. Setting was nice too. Amazing patio and beer garden as well. After dinner walked the river walk and came back to the Biergarten for drinks and dessert from the onsite bakery. Liked it so much we came back for brunch on 8/10. Matthew was our server and was excellent as well. Breakfast burrito, breakfast plate and pastries were on point! Ended up taking home pastries, bread and another dessert. Coffee was also really good. Will be back for sure and highly recommend if you’re in the Pueblo area.

It was busy on a Saturday night. So wait was a while (45min). I had delicious burger and my wife raved about her Asian veggie lettuce wrap. I had the Haus beer ( sorry needed a lite beer) which went down smooth! Service was friendly, fast and attentive to details. Would come again !

Super good, the food was amazing too + the service is good, they nice. I got the Stone Steel B&G, it was a bit spicy but super good, I don’t remember what my parents got but it looks like they like it. The server you guys have is looks really cute/handsome.

The restaurant is located on Pueblo's Riverwalk which adds a lot to the patio and atmosphere of the place. We enjoyed an outside patio table for lunch and had a wonderful time. We all ordered some form of burger. We had a slopper, the ale House Burger, and fig Burger. The slopper Burger is one of Pueblo's specialties that is a burger completely covered in green chili. So you have to eat it with a fork and knife. The ale House Burger was very good, it's the house burger which makes sense on how delicious it truly was cooked just right. Right. The third burger was a fig burger that was substituted with an impossible Patty instead of the smash patties that it originally comes with. It has goat cheese, fig jam arugula and is fantastic in flavor. The house ketchup is so good. We wanted to buy a bottle of it and bring it home. It's definitely a place to try when you're in Pueblo for lunch or dinner.

Everything was perfect. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken was amazing and my daughter got the soup and grilled cheese which was no ordinary grilled cheese! 🤤 Great service and beautiful restaurant with neat history. Highly recommend!

Food was good, beer was pretty good. Staff was great. We made a reservation a month ahead of time and was greeted with a great table and a Happy Anniversary, as I had put on the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary. They were the only establishment that we visited over the long weekend that actually acknowledged it. The hostess took a pic of us before we left. Very nice, we will be back ASAP.

Excellent pit stop in Pueblo before driving home! Service was wonderful and the Vineyard Odyssey Salad I ordered had the perfect ratio of ingredients to dressing. With mixed greens, red onion, cucumber, bell pepper, blue cheese, strawberries, heirloom cherry tomatoes, candied pecans, berry vinaigrette, and balsamic reduction - how could you not enjoy? I didn't add protein to my salad this time, but chicken sounds like it could go well. It was my second time in Pueblo (first time was on the drive down) and I enjoyed both quick visits. Brues is located along the riverwalk, so you can go for a stroll if it's not too cold. We were here in the winter and rushed back to our car, but I would definitely come back again.

The place is pretty and in a nice location. There was a lot of staff and a lot of empty tables. We were in at 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon. When we interrupt a staff member to ask about a table, they said 20 minutes. 40 minutes later my group is hangers, still waiting outside watching empty tables collect dust. The beer was average. Based on the wait time, we were very skeptical about how lone it would take to get food. We finally gave up and left. Maybe try the a different place if you don't have and hour to wait or get on the wait list before you do the river walk.

Nice bar inside or sit outside by the river walk dinner food came out fast and all was good We also had Sunday brunch there with a fresh bakery, service was quick and always had coffee in my cup great place for all

The food was great! Our waitress was very nice & attentive. We ate outside by the riverwalk & it was very relaxing.

Popped in for a quick lunch while on a road trip. They are located in a historic building that used to be the jail. It is right on the river walk with plenty of outdoor seating to take advantage of the lovely Colorado weather. The holiday decorations were really nice. Someone had taken the time to wrap twinkle lights around the air ducts and beams throughout the restaurant. It was a lovely sight. Our server answered all our questions and we put in our beverage orders. I love a good dark beer and their Kellerbier really hit it. My husband had the Haus Lager, a helles. We both enjoyed our beers. They were spot on to style. I ordered the Brawtzel. It consisted of a veal brat with a garnish of sauerkraut, Vienna mustard, a pretzel and pueblo chile cheese sauce. Everything was tasty and paired well with my beer. My husband was going to get a BLT, but upon asking, found the bread for that sandwich is not toasted. It was a cold day and he wanted something warm so he got a grilled cheese and chips, which hit the spot for him. It was a chilly, windy day. I would like to visit again when I can sit outside and enjoy the river.

Will definitely come back! We walked our dog along the river walk and stopped here to have lunch on the patio. Perfect spot for us since it's dog friendly. We ordered the Hawaiian pollo and split it. Plenty of food for two of us and it was delicious. The fries were the right amount of salty and crunchy too! They also have a bakery inside so we picked up a cinnamon roll to go. The rolls are giant!

Food is amazing. Service is sometimes a little slow, but that's because they do get busy due to popularity. That's a win for any business though! I'd recommend for sure. It's an elegant place to spend for an evening dinner. Five stars.

This was my first time dining at Brues, after stopping in for drinks a few times and it was a great experience. We came in on a night when a concert was going on and was told there was only one table available, as the rest were reserved or we'd need to sit outside. The table we got was a bit cramped and small, but we made it work for the four of us. Our group ordered drinks and I asked for a mocktail. The waitress said she'd talk to the bar about what mocktails they had and when she came back with our drink order she gave me a mocktail. I'm not sure what it was, but it had a ginger taste and was pretty good! I'd say the only downfall was not getting to pick or knowing what I was drinking lol. We ordered 2 rounds of pretzels and the shishito peppers for apps. High points for us were the dipping sauces, the green chili queso (pretzels) and the homemade ranch (peppers). I ordered the steak salad, it was fresh and yummy! I loved the creamy goat cheese and the balsamic dressing. Our group ordered burgers and the dip sandwich, everyone was happy with their food and the portions. No complaints! Everything came out pretty fast too. We had our eye on the cheesecake for dessert, but they sold out so we settled for the macarons. Group faves were the pumpkin and gingerbread. Overall this is a great place to meet friends for dinner - we will definitely be back! Pro tip - stop at the Clink before for drinks. They are really good!

A year later and everything remains the same! Service, food, drink is always high quality and the ambiance outside by the Riverwalk is so peaceful. It is our tradition to come to Brues and walk around the river every time we visit Pueblo.

Great brewery with good beer selection and full-service restaurant. Sat at the bar and had nice conversations with the bartender and fellow patrons. Ordered a Slopper for dinner, of course, since I was just passing through. Relaxing atmosphere.

First let me say I want to give this a 5 star but the issue with the meal change was the only issue. Let me explain wife wanted to change order less then 5 minutes after we ordered. The server said ok then came back and said they could not change it. I said OK give us the other item also 3 entrée. Which took 45 minutes, they claimed the chicken had been cooked for the teriyaki bowl. That is why we could not cancel the order. Then it took 45 min... hmmmm anyone else find that strange. Anyway the teriyaki bowl and the chicken was excellent. The extra entrée ordered was the Prime Rib Sandwich.. OMG that gets a 10!! So good!! The teriyaki bowl was excellent after we had them bring more teriyaki (which was an extra an charge) I do not like teriyaki I could not taste that.. NOTE: to cooks add more Teriyaki for tje teriyaki bowl even the server says that happens all the time... NOW: on to the main event the slopper burger OMG burgers topped with green chili see menu for description (Pic below) and the picture of the sandwich... looks like POOO what taste GREAT!! To bad someone tries being greedy because the no on the change, 45 minute wait for chicken made and an up charge for sauce because the dish was not made correctly. Do not call it a teriyaki bowl if it does not have teriyaki. Then the nerve to charge for a small cup of teriyaki. Over all was great food and service just a lot of strange things that impacted the review.

The burgers here are fantastic, the fries are less than desirable. The fries doc the point along with the homemade ketchup. All I can taste is malt vinegar. I think the idea is good, but I think it's too heavy with the vinegar. The fries were soggy and greasy. At a brew house I would expect some delicious hot crispy fries. It feels like they fried them in oil that wasn't hot enough. Not a pleasant eating experience. The Hazy IPA I had was DELICIOUS not sure if it's local or not, but it was very crisp and fruity. Overall it's a good place but be prepared to spend some money. I think if they dropped the price by a dollar or two of the burgers it's would be a bit more worth it. I was going to give this place 3 stars but the server was fantastic.

Where does one go after an early morning of work and then a long day of travel??? An alehouse of course, even though I don't drink. This place once was a jail, and they pay respect to the past with some of the decor. They have a stage for live music and fantastic service. Jenny was my waitress, and even with how busy she was, I was her third table in 5 minutes since I didn't want to sit at the bar. This place has burgers, sandwiches, and salads to choose from. I was all set to be a good boy and have a salad until Jenny told me the night specials......So, I had stuffed dates wrapped in pork shoulder for an appetizer. Then I had the toungetwister Philly, not the real name, but it sounded like a toungetwister. All I can say about tonight's dinner is....WOW!!!! It was so good that I was a little sad when it was gone. If you do enjoy a pint, this place is a local brewery, and the other patrons appeared to be enjoying the drafts. I was a little sad they didn't offer a microbrewed root beer, but everything else made up for that. #thanksunclejoe

Matthew was our server and bartender and he was excellent! Granted it was 3:30pm but we were seated and ser es quickly. We weren't too hungry so shared a small salad and the green chile mac. Both were excellent as were the Old Fashioneds. Very good experience and can't wait to go back!

I enjoyed this place several times in my recent visit. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The happy hour specials were fantastic and consistently good. But dang, that slopper was delicious.

Really enjoyed the shrimp tacos but would've preferred fries on the side instead of tortilla chips.

Worst service ever! 45 minutes wait, and the table that came in 15 minutes after us got served. Bartender, I asked for a short drink, they brought tall, and to correct it, I watched he pour it into a short glass.‍‍‍‍ I asked her to remake it, took 15 minutes and it tasted like straight tonic. Prices are really high. We did not stay for food, because it took sooo long. 1 star.

Perfect spot on the river walk for some good food and drink! Staff was attentive and service was spot on. Sat outside on a sunny day and the server's know nearly every person and animal passing by... Got the Brawtzel which was a smaller sized warm pretzel along with a veal brat and sauerkraut along with 2 dipping sauces. The pueblo chili sauce was great but the vienna mustard was less memorable. Did get a nice cold Haus Lager which went perfectly with the experience and made it a better day. Cheers to my next visit

I came here with a group of coworkers for a weeknight dinner and gathering. We had the back room to ourselves, which was spacious and equipped with TVs and high ceilings. We started with hummus and veggies for the group and then ordered various dishes for dinner. The drinks were great, and everyone seemed to enjoy the place. Interestingly, this restaurant used to be a county jail, and it still has some decor to reflect that history. There's even a small hotel attached where you can book a room that looks like a jail cell. Very cool!

VEGAN REVIEW There were kitchen issues, so there was a limited menu. Would have to try again to give a fuller review. I got a salad which had no protein once the cheese was removed + they forgot the nuts. Service was good. This used to be a jail. They have lots of law enforcement paraphernalia & side room where the jail cell bars/doors are still there. Not sure how I feel about that...

We had great service and exceptional food, loved the fig and goat cheese burger and the 2 flights of beer. The view from the patio was so relaxing and peaceful even with the strong winds. Can't wait to check out the summer menu of the new drafts. Definitely a quality spot!

Super good food. We always come here especially when it's not so nice out. Right on the Riverwalk. They've got a heated patio and are dog friendly too! In the old Pueblo jail. The inside vibes reflect this with barred doors. Kinda cool. The service is always spot on. Had the prime rib dip with the extra chili and onions. The bread roll it's on was one of the best, soft, but not too soft. Prime rib was super yummy. Their fries are delicious too, and I'm not a fan of fries.

This was another great stop on a fun roadtrip! The service was good/solid. The atmosphere was amazing with the little river creating a fantastic backdrop. The beers were great. We tried them all, which took 2 flights. The food was solid and enjoyable as well. I can't wait to return.

My coworker and I ate here every day while at a conference. We are from Texas and enjoyed the patio area and the friendly staff. Make sure you try a little bit of everything!

Trendy brewery downtown Pueblo. Parking is across the street, but not bad. I stopped for quick dinner and the beer. Both were good. The Haus Lager is just right. I had the all-American drive in burger, double smashed Pattie's with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. It was tall and fell apart a bit but it was very good. The fries were nothing special, seemed frozen. But overall the meal was good, the service was quick, and the price was reasonable.

Great restaurant on Pueblo's Riverwalk. Nice cool evening in June to sit outside. Overall we had a fantastic meal and pleasant dinner. I will say in the beginning our server appeared to be busy and left us sitting there longer than I would expect without even so much as a greeting. He did later warm up once he wasn't so busy and we shared some friendly conversation with him about the area. I initially ordered the teriyaki bowl with chicken but changed my mind rather quickly and ran in to ask him to switch to prime dip sandwich instead. He came back out to our table and said he couldn't switch it because they had already started the chicken. We were understanding and still ordered the prime dip. Well 45 min later we still had no food. I said how could they have started that chicken and we still haven't received our order. We remained patient. They did have a couple larger parties inside. It was almost an hour before we finally got our first two entrees and another 15 min before we got the prime dip. That being said, the prime dip was absolutely worth every bite. My husband got the slopper and I'm certain he will be talking about it for days to come. It was quite flavorful and amazing. The teriyaki bowl had so much potential but seriously lacked in flavor. I couldn't taste teriyaki at all. The server said he hears that all the time and people often ask for a side of sauce. So I asked for some. It totally livened the dish but I was disappointed they charged me $.75 for that, only because if they get this feedback all the time then make the dish better. Don't charge people for a side of sauce when the dish named teriyaki has zero teriyaki flavor. Overall great meal and we would definitely recommend this as a stop when in town.

The fig burger was out of the this world! And my coworker dropped half of his sandwich and they brought him a brand new one! Top quality service! If I ever go back to Pueblo, I will be going there!

Wasn't sure if we were going to come after hearing the quesadillas were not too good but I'm glad we did. The chicken fingers and fries are good, still good the next day too. They brew their own so there is a variety of beers to choose from. It is definitely a nice place, with plenty of space, and you can pull up a stool at the bar if you need to. What, there is a stage, okay now I want to know when I can come back to hear some music?

The service was somewhat slow, and it took quite some time for the food to be prepared. In the end, it was worth the wait because the food was delicious. Some dishes everyone enjoyed: The burgers Teriyaki bowl Fries Parmesan wings and Korean BBQ wings Chocolate cream puff (from the bakery) We will pass on the Shirley Temples next time, too heavy on the syrup and no cherries. Mostly everyone enjoyed the Vineyard Odyssey salad too, but if you're not a fan of blue cheese, skip it, or see if it can be substituted. I wish they would announce a final call on the coffee drinks, I really wanted to try one. It closed at some point during our dinner. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. It's right next to the river walk, a pretty view.

We absolutely loved this place!!! Everyone working there was super cheery & very helpful. We started with the pretzel with queso and it was wonderful. My wife & split the fig jam burger and boy was it delicious. Packed with a ton of goat cheese, ample fig jam & a nicely seasoned burger patty. When we used the restroom, we noticed they also had a bakery inside so picked up the monster cinnamon roll as well as the salted caramel cheesecake. Both were decadent & delicious!!! Super dog friendly patio was just an added bonus, will definitely be back!

This is truly one of those moments where had bad judgment and then was pleasantly surprised. I presumed that all the restaurants on the riverwalk were touristy and gimmicky, but Brues was legit. We had a great meal started with the charred shishito peppers; hot and spicy vegan chili with Hatch green chiles; and a superb roast beef and au jus. This is not bar food; the restaurant can definitely stand alone!

We stopped by here driving through pueblo and had a really good meal. I tried the soft pretzel for an appetizer which was good and hot. For my main meal I had the French dip with peppers and onions. The French dip was good and the fries were perfectly salty. My dad got the chili cheese burger and he said that it was probably in the top 10 burgers he has ever had and he's been to a lot of places. He even said the trip to Pueblo is worth the burger. Not so sure I would want to drive all the way to Pueblo for a burger but that's what he said.

After a long night out in Pueblo visiting family for the holidays, the Montecristo and a Bloody Mary hit the spot for brunch on Saturday morning. The menu offers a variety of both lunch and breakfast for brunch with a Pueblo twist. Additionally if your looking for a spot to have some food/drinks and watch sports I would Highly recommend

Came in on a Saturday. Party of 3. Asked for first available table and was told the outside seating was fastest and would be a 15min wait. We waited for 1.5hrs before we started getting impatient. Tons of parties were being seated before us. After 1.5hrs we were sat at the bar tops outside. It was a terrible experience I ended up getting into a small Argument with my wife when what should have happened was us having a nice dining experience at the River walk. I will personally not be returning to this establishment. Food was mediocre. The chicken teriyaki was dry Girls had the burger and said they were ok. Then at the end they gave us another tables ticket and my wife paid it until I asked for the receipt. Sorry guys you were way off tonight in every way.

This was nice. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Fries were good. Although there were hardly any!!!! Burger was truly delicious! Home made ketchup. Oh so good. Nice beverage selection! Service was very good. The establishment was clean!

Tried this place while visiting family in the area. Great friendly staff and service was quick. Beers were good and everyone loved their food. The chilis tasted great but not overpowering with heat. Want to go back and get the slopper next time we are in town.

The slopper is delicious and tasty, the staff friendly and helpful. A good atmosphere and very enjoyable

This is a great find in downtown Pueblo! It's a beautiful spot right along the river walk. They have a fantastic beer menu, and their food menu is incredible. We enjoyed everything that we ordered, so tasty!! I had the tacos and savored every single bite. The Sweet Potato Fries are delish too!! They have live music some days, they have a bakery and cafe downstairs. A-mazing. This is Pueblo new "happening spot!"

This soley based on atmosphere and drinks. Didn't eat here today but the view, service and atmosphere is amazing..

Was told the wait would be 15 minutes for a table, ended up waiting 1.5 hours. Watched multiple parties get seated who put their name on the waitlist AFTER us. Finally was told we were the next to be seated, a table opened up and were then told we couldn't have the table because there was a party ahead of us. Hostess couldn't keep up. We tried to be patient, but when people who came in after us were sat, ate their food, and left before we were even seated was not acceptable. Finally seated after tense conversation with hostess. Food was mediocre. Given the wrong bill at the end which was twice as much as our actual food order. We won't be back and will not recommend to our friends. Too many other food choices on Riverwalk with much better service and food.

I guess if you've never eaten at a restaurant before, Brues offers something different: food that you actually pay money for. The novelty stops once you realize the menu is limited, the portions small, and true to Colorado cuisine it is both underseasoned and overpriced. There's a bit of luxury perhaps in that you can sit by the river, until you realize said river and restaurant are in Pueblo, where you're never far from danger. Do yourself a favor: obtain a boat or large door and float east along the river until you come to Wichita, which Pueblo and Brues Alehouse make feel like New York City.

We took a break from a long road trip to stretch our legs around the Riverwalk, and popped in here for a quick bite and pint. It wasn't quick - we were there 45 minutes before we had food - but the food, drinks, and service were excellent. I had an excellent seasonal salad, topped with fruit and a generous slab of salmon. We sat at the bar, but there's also a separate counter for coffee drinks and other fare.

Nestled next to the Pubelo Convention Center and along the River walk area, you will find this cool building with different levels. This cool building used to be the police station back in the day. Now it's one of the best & not so hidden secrets of Pubelo to listen to live music, watch sports, have a great meal, and sip some great drinks. We entered Brue's Alehouse from the back along the nice Riverwalk. It has a really big outdoor patio that overlooks the river. Inside there is a nice size bar with tvs to watch sports. Our luck we escaped the hail storms to get something to eat & watch game 5 of the NBA finals Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat. As soon as we sat down, the really nice bartender got us menus and took our orders. Since we were early, we started off w/ light apps consisting of fries & shoshito peppers and some of Brue's finest craft beers. The bartender was extremely since & knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great suggestions. We tried a few of their cocktails, too, before the game started. We sat at the bar to get the best view of game 5!!! At halftime, we finally got hungry once the nerves were gone from the fierce competition Miami was giving the Nuggets. I had the honor and luxury of enjoying the The Truffle burger;it was 8oz of pure mush room heaven. Truffle zest, Havarti cheese, Trumpet mushrooms, truffle aioli, on a soft pillowily black seasme seed brioche bun cooked to my perfect temperature! Yes it was expense, yes it was full of flavor , yes it was worth it, yes I will order it again. This is how a mushroom burger should be & taste. It was worth every penny!!! I will without a doubt say I know where I was when The Denver Nuggets won their 1st NBA World Championship; I was at Brue's Alehouse rocking my Jokić jersey, having great craft beers and had one if the best burgers I've had in life with great company and fans. I will definitely be back to listen to live music in their music room, that shows all their brewing tanks. They have really cool musicians and bands like Nattali Rize grace the stage for all to hear and the garage doors go up and you get to feel a nice breeze while sipping on some beers & enjoying time w/ friends. All of the other servers were nice and helpful too, one showed us the music room & told us all about the building. Can't wait to return. So if you are in Downtown Pubelo, I repeat , YOUR FIRST STOP SHOULD BE BRUE'S ALEHOUSE!!!

34 dollars for a salmon entree is a bit high priced. Small portion for the money. Carrots and potatoes still hard the was served with it.

Vegan options and pet friendly. Food was fine. Not a fan of the country music, and the ketchup tastes weird. Service was good.

At about 11:00 on a Sunday morning, the Pueblo River Walk district is pretty quiet and there aren't a lot of food options. So I think a lot of people wind up at Brue's. And I'll bet they're all pretty happy when they do. My son and I wandered in yesterday and immediately were welcomed inside and shown to a table. The waitress quickly brought out water and asked if we'd like any other drinks. Seeing they have an espresso bar, I decided on a flat white. Smooth, creamy, and delicious! My brunch was the huevos rancheros. A big plate of goodness. Frijoles and hash browns with eggs (over easy) all covered in green chili! Two small flour tortillas on top were just great. I liked the relaxed vibe. Plenty of TVs all around for watching sports. All the staff seemed happy to be there and so friendly.

Food was solid; bartender was in his own world, I had to chase home down when wanting something.

100% would eat here again! Fires were perfect for a little chilly weather! Breakfast Slopper hit pretty hard on a Sunday morning!
