Palisade Brewing Company

An absolute must stop after a hot hike in Palisade! The beers here are refreshing and hit different after a hard hike like Mount Garfield. The sandwiches are amazing too.

One of the best bar+restaurants I have been to in many years. The fries were great, jalapeño brisket sandwich was great and the portion size was actually big enough for an adult to eat and be full which is not common in Colorado. Beer was great as well. They also accommodated a dairy allergy well. You’d be surprised how hard it is for places to simply not put cheese on something. Thanks Palisade Brewing Company! 🙏

Solid food. And very solid brews. The staff here is personalable and attentive. The locals are friendly and chatty for those that want to engage. Lunch specials will fill you up and and the tasty beverages will keep you hydrated. If you are in the area 100% worth a stop. Thanks Palisade Brewing!

We visited Palisade Brewery on a Sunday and had a mixed experience. Our beer flight included the Forbidden Beet, High Desert, Laidback Blonde, and Dirty Hippie. The Forbidden Beet was earthy and unique, the High Desert was watery and underwhelming, but both the Blonde and Hippie were enjoyable. The food was a highlight—$1 wing night was a great deal, and the mild buffalo wings were pretty good. The grain pretzel with beer cheese was absolutely massive and delicious—highly recommended! The mustard that came with it was incredibly spicy and flavorful, adding a perfect kick. One charming feature was the wall of local amateur art. While the pieces are objectively sophomoric, it’s a wonderful touch that adds character. Supporting local artists, regardless of skill level, is always a strength. There’s even a playful nod to Maurizio Cattelan’s Comedian, with a candy cane duct-taped to the wall—a quirky and seasonally appropriate detail we appreciated. Unfortunately, the ambiance fell short. The TVs were tuned to sports, and the music was turned off for football, which clashed with the laid-back brewery vibe we were hoping for. Overall, it’s a decent spot for beer, food, and a bit of whimsy, but the atmosphere could use some improvement.

This is a relaxing place with good craft beers. You actually can’t go wrong here. They also have food too.

Their tacos are excellent! We will definitely be there for Taco Tuesdays in the future. Wow, great flavor profile! Our service was good and the beer was tasty. I definitely had a good experience at the PBC. Thank you!

I read reviews about how good the Rueben sandwich was so ordered it. 1st bite and the meat pulled right out of the sandwich because it was tough as shoe leather. Don't order it! When I told the bartender, she thought I was joking. I said no, it was the worst Rueben I've ever had.... No joke! What a disappointment.

Great vibes and awesome atmosphere. Very intimate and great for a couples date. Awesome food and even better selections of drinks. I love a darker beer so woodcutters daughter was definitely my fave. Dark and close to a meal in a cup. Also had the pumpkin spiced cider and that was way better than I thought. For real that cider is legit. Awesome experience all around and great people. Thank you for your awesome service and keep up the great work!!

Good food. Nice service. Great Pear Cider Live music available but didn't start before else left.

This was a very pleasant stop! I haven't ever stopped in the town of Palisade before even during my time as a Colorado resident. Back then there wasn't brewery here or at least it didn't come up in my Yelp searches which was why I didn't stop before. However you can get delicious Palisade Peaches here so perhaps that does warrant a stop after all. I had a light supper here at the brewery and a beer to go along with it... of course! The salad was just a garden salad but I enjoyed the fact just how fresh and tasty it was. I left very satisfied there. The beer I had was their Midday Siesta, a Mexican Lager which I was enjoying a whole series of at various breweries that I was trying. This beer had pleasant flavor highlights of breadiness, lightness and a touch of crisp. It was very refreshing! Nice location for this brewery! It's in a peaceful part of town... actually the whole town is peaceful it seems where you can kick back and relax from a long day on the road.

This place is amazing. We stopped in for a quick beer and ended up getting food too. Football playoffs were on couple big screens inside and flat screen outside. Place has heated tents as well. Foods amazing. Pretzel with cheese dip and meat sampler. Smoked Turkey didn't need any sauce. Simply amazing. The staff super friendly and knowledgeable on what beer to try. This will definitely be a return trip since it's a mere 20 m ride from home

I'm picky with beer (forgive my ignorance).Sometimes a blonde can have strong flavor I'm not thrilled with. I wish I would had hauled my growler in. Easy drinking beer. Smooth & not too light. Split a French dip & a pretzel with the husband. Smoked beef on my sandwich was amazing. The cheese dip for the pretzel hands down one of the best I ever had. The husband ate it with a spoon. We will be back.

In addition to my recent review: the Woodcutter's Daughter (Oak Aged Imperial Stout) is amazing! Its a stout full of flavor. A strong stout with notes of s'mores and a light smoky flavor. Definitely a dessert ale. Bought several four packs to go. Worth trying if you enjoy dark ales. Cheers!

Really good beer, good friendly service. Good music, especially the neon sky band from montrose.

It's a must go for food. Get the jalapeno brisket and add onions. That is the move. You won't regret it. Dog friendly and lots of space for outside seating.

Actual receipt from #PalisadeBrewCo. Guess the food order was a little overwhelming for our wait person. Probably spit in the food too.

The best Ruben ever trust me! Beer is always good. Wish they had more indoor seating. But otherwise great place to come.

A nice hang out spot in Palisade. Of course, you don't come to Palisade for beer (or I guess some people could!) but it's a nice change of a scenery since wineries close pretty early, which leaves you with not too many choices for a place to go later in the evening. They do have ciders and a decent selection of very basic food (something for everyone). Lots of seating inside and outside!

Food portions were good. Sides were basic. Food was ok and typical for what you'd expect. Price was a little high for what you get. Beer was not cold, but not hot. Flavor was good. It appears to be more fun in the evenings.

Stopped by due to the bluegrass festival! Fun atmosphere and great staff! Good food and beer.

They are severely understaffed. If you are going for beer, no problem. But our food order took close to 2 hours. There appears to be only two guys in the kitchen and one was also serving the tables outside. When our food finally arrived, the order was incomplete. I suggest you have the bartenders (who take your order) read it back to you. As we were at the counter following up on our missing food, other people who gave up waiting were at the counter asking to get their money back. We're just here for a long weekend. What a waste of time!

A basic brewery with outdoor seating. Good beer. And FANTASTIC food. Serving food later than most - if you're rolling into town. Consistently reliable over the years.

Terrible beer. Terrible food. Gave me food poisoning. Guy with the mustache is incredibly off putting. He should not be in customer service. Other staff interactions were fine. Live music is great! Only reason I would return.

There's 2 hours of my life I won't get back! Showed up on Sunday for lunch, about 1/3 of the tables were seated. Lots or space and room. I was with a group of 8, everyone placed orders individually. Most of our group got their food within 40 minutes (maybe they trying to sell more beer?). 1 friend got the wrong order and ate it anyways because he was so hungry and didn't care anymore (I know that wasn't helping). Another friend got her food that had obviously been sitting under the heat lamp for a long time, it was dry as the desert. After an hour the server came to our table to deliver another platter, and this transpired Me - "Do you have any idea when #7 is going to be ready? It's been well over an hour" Server - "What did you order?" Me - "Philly cheese steak" Server looks at his tray and sees one there. "Here, take this one" Me - It's ice cold, and is this mine or someone elses? How long have you been carrying that one around? He had no answers, it was pretty obvious he was new(ish). I went inside to try to sort it out and the girl told me they had "number confusion". I finally got a 3* meal after 2 hours, making me late for my 5hr drive home. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

This is such a great location in palisade with a ton of beer options! We asked for a flight and they were able to accommodate us while being super informative about all the beers. They also had a decent size menu. I was with 5 other friends and we each loved our food! We were raving about the food all weekend. Definitely stop here on your next trip!

We stopped by Palisade brewing company for a late lunch and was happy we did. It's a pretty cozy brewery with a nice selection of beers and food. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious. Although I really enjoyed the sandwich, I didn't taste much smoke, assuming they probably just use a slow-cooker. Not a big deal for me, because I'm easy. It was a great sandwich regardless. The one thing I think they can improve on is the amount of seating. They could probably use a few more tables to help busy times. Overall, I loved it and will definitely be back.

We stopped by here for the first time on a Friday night. I was immediately welcomed into a patio full of live music and dancers. Being a lover of live music - I was a fan! The general atmosphere was the best part of our visit. We met a lot of friendly new people, and enjoyed watching children run around. The only reason for the lack of a 5th star is the service. The brewery is popular because it's the only one around, which also gives them the freedom of poor service. After waiting in a very very very long line, we were hastily served beer after fighting our way through "the locals". Locals are important, but so are new visitors..

Shoutout to Madeline and Chelsea! They were both incredibly helpful!!! They were also quite informative about their menu, drink selection, and local know-how! They need a new potter to make their mugs, as they've run out of earthenware mugs for sale, but man are they Beautiful!! My favorite beer was their Dirty Hippie, by far the best dark beer I've ever had! Their Food is pretty good, but the flavors do fall a little flat.. You'll need salt and pepper.. We had the Kitchen Sink, and their Meat platter, they were out of their brisket... and Their bone in meats...... but it was still rather good. Our favorite smoked meat was their pastrami! Were I to recommend an order, I imagine that their Pastrami Reuben would ve to die for!

Friendly staff. Great beer and cider. The food was delicious and the band Stone Kitchen was amazing!

We were in Palisade on the way to Telluride (wanted to check out some wineries on our way) and needed lunch. Stopped by the Palisade Brewing Company. Great place. Super solid food (my wife loved the caprese sandwich) and not expensive. (4 of us ate for $50 including 2 beers.). Definitely recommend.

Love this place! Hit it up twice this weekend. Loved the Blonde Ale, but the peach ipa was insanely good! Oh, and the food was pretty fantastic too. We had an assortment of their sandwiches - all delicious. So we're the tots and the fried sampler!

Always solid brews and tasty eats. There are a set of standards but always something new to try too. I only get over to the western slope one or two times a year and always stop in for a beer and snack. Friendly service, good outside seating during time of Covid 19. Worth the stop!

They were offering service through the bar due to COVID, but who cares because everything was SO delicious. We had the kitchen sink sandwich with the cucumber salad, and they were both so flavorful and fantastic. They smoke their own meats, plus the bread is made from scratch. I should have ordered some extra Cole slaw, it was that good. I'm seriously considering having it again tomorrow. My husband had the jalapeno cheddar sandwich, which was good but a little dry, and the pasta salad- a little of their bbq sauce fixed that right up. We had the hazy IPA and the hazy pale ale, and both were nice and citrus-y. The IPA was very hoppy. All the way around it was a great place for lunch and would be the first restaurant if recommend for food in Palisade.

Cool little brewery well worth a visit ! We tried a couple of ipas and both were good !

If you're just coming for the beers this place deserves 4 or 5 stars. The beer and the people working at the bar were great. However the kitchen staff or who ever is responsible for the food were absolutely terrible. I completely understand how COVID has affected multiple industries but we were told the food would be about 1 hour, almost 2 hours later we were served our food and the quality was well below sub par. The whole brewery wasn't that busy so I can't understand why it took so long. I want to reiterate the beer was great the only reason for the poor review is because of the food and food service.

Awesome beers wonderful outside dog friendly incredible views great chili etc. right company great company bring your,

Who knew that good beer existed in this small town? I'm from SD one of the beer capital of the US and I'll say that Palisade Brewing would fit right in and be one of the better ones. My friends and I walked in and the music and everybody stopped and stared at us for a good ole 10 seconds then back to normal. We're Asian and got stares at everywhere we went in GJ and Palisade, it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves. Probably the most they've seen. Nobody was rude or anything but we encountered many many many stares... like we're aliens. Maybe we are, aren't we all? I love love love their NE style bushel of haze, their peach IPA. NE style to me is better than west coast style. It's thick, juicy, hazy and smoother going down. It's basically a very juicy IPA. And that Palisade peach hint in this IPA... delicious!! Especially with my favorite hops... Citra hops with good peach and dankness!

Good beer and the BEST DARN BLT that we have ever had!! Eat here twice!! It was so good that we ate everything before we could take a pic.

Maybe I am just "getting old" but I found this place to be not even remotely relaxing or enjoyable. It was either sit inside and freeze, or sit outside on the surface of the sun. Because it is so (unjustifiably) popular, the line is super long for food that is mediocre and cider that tasted so sour, it took a wrong turn heading to "flavortown." Palisade isn't really known for their culinary options but even with lack of options, I wouldn't recommend this one. The screaming of the children slapping hoola hoops on nearby tables, sandwich bread that wasn't fresh and bad service, I'll take a hard pass next time. I am sure this place is great for people who want to hear super loud bands in a giant echoed garage so they can avoid conversing with the friends they came with and drinking bad beer. I'll walk the 100yrds and enjoy great drinks and food trucks instead. Call me a downer if you want, but it isn't my scene to stand in long lines for bad food, scream in a freezer with ok bands and drink bad cider.

Fun brewery with good beers! We enjoyed the large open area outside seating and live music on a Friday night. The wait was long - 45 min at least - but the service was friendly and once we were seated the food came out really quickly! I enjoyed the caprese sandwich with added bacon and it was hot and large, left me full and satisfied!

I like the beer and the food here, but the atmosphere and service were so so. We only went once, so maybe it was an off day. They have lots of outdoor tables in the blazing sun and a few indoor tables + a bar inside, but it is dark and dank in there. We took seats at the bar and ordered a couple beers. It would have been great to know they had a flight or option to taste - we found out after we ordered - but no told us and missed it on their menu. I like the Dirty HIppie (the name and the beer) and the Palisade Philly (which was very big). Nice extra is they have popcorn popper for a fresh snack. It was a-ok, but they were slow with pouring beers, returning to see if we needed anything and kind of everything, so we didn't stick around. Too bad, their beer was great!

Well worth the wait. We were here yesterday. It was the bomb diggity so we had to come back. The craft beers are top notch. The food was the best. Today I'm trying the Rubin sandwich. This place is a destination. So happy to have found this place. Feels like home.

Nice beers, friendly staff and a great air conditioner! Try the Hula Hoppie, the Working Man's Hazed or the Bushels of Hazed. Tuesday's include live Music and $1.50 tacos. This place is great!

We'll, the Palisade Brewery has managed to disappoint me even further. No small feat. Either they don't even taste their own attempts at beer, or they do and still decide not to pour it down the drain. I don't know which is worse. The Troubled Mind stout was declared nearly undrinkable by all 3 at our table who tried it. Tasted like molasses. For me, none of their beers are well balanced or nuanced and all tend to be overwhelmingly too hoppy or too sweet, generally too one-dimensional. They were excellent when first opened, have gone downhill since.

Came here for a dog friendly dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. For drinks - fiancé got Bushels of Haze and I got a glass of the merlot that was readily available - both were yummy. Dinner we got the meat sampler and the artichoke basket. The meat sampler was out of this world, we smoke meat regularly at home and they are artists of this craft. The artichoke basket was a little misleading in description but delicious nonetheless, basically hummus with some toppings including artichokes - delicious and healthy to offset our meat intake.

Lots of outdoor seating, great views of the surrounding hills and mountains all around. Order up at bar, service is friendly and knowledgeable. Good middle of the road beers, nothing exotic, but the beers hit the spot and didnt have a bad one while there. Some good food, we tried a little bit of everything and no complaints would order again. Off the beaten path but stop if you are in the area.

I haven't posted on Yelp in a long time, but after 7 months of living in an RV and traveling around the west, this is my favorite brewery from the trip. Amazing beer (get the dirty hippy with an orange slice), great sandwiches and then small things like homemade salsa and having cucumber salad as a refreshing summer side. If you show up during the farmer's market on sunday morning, be ready to wait for your food (we waited for 1 hour) but was totally worth it

Outrageously wonderful food. Smoked chicken wings, pulled pork nachos and kitchen sink sandwich all legit. The beer delish. They need to upscale their aesthetic indoor and outdoor. So much potential. Waitstaff at register is good. Our wing experience was awkward. Offer your customers plates and wet naps for the wings. Super messy albeit tasty. Overall totally worth visiting even if you're not into beer. The food is totally worth it and I'm from the BBQ part of the country.

This was the BEST pit stop we've made on our road trip!! Beer was good by service and food were GREAT!! We had the Danger BLT and the jalapeño cheddar brisket. I can't stop dreaming about the BLT , so good!! It's definitely worth the stop!!

My gf and I were super excited to try the pulled pork nachos here. Unfortunately, a wedding party took over the entire inside, so we were forced outside in the occasional downpour. The nachos were a bit of let down. Shredded cheese, pulled pork, and pickled jalapenos, served with preportioned sour cream and salsa. I think my local bowling alley puts more effort into their nachos, but hey. I had their dark wheat beer which was super tasty. My gf got a cider that she wasn't too excited about, but that's likely no one's fault. Shrug. I guess when there are only like 2 places to eat, you hope one will be a winner.

Love this place every time. Staff is amazing, great sandwiches and appetizers, and the beer is on point. Yummy seasonal beer too.

This place use to be amazing, but it feels like they changed ownership. Such a bummer. And don't ask about the old school awesome chicken wings...it turns into a lecture.

Has a large outdoor seating area that is great for big parties. The indoor space is a bit small but the free popcorn makes up for it all. The lunch specials offer generous portions with everything made fresh. All of the staff recommendations have been delicious. Keep an eye out for their live music on Saturday evenings, it's always a good time.

Super fun, super chill... Both beer and food were on point! Staff and locals were amazing. We were there on a Friday night and it was packed. Live band was jamming. Only qualm is that they need to add more restrooms or do a little addition to each.

Solid craft brewery if you're in the area. I had the West Coast IPA, my partner had the hazy - both we great. A couple dozen tables inside and out. Good music on the speakers. Right across from a cannabis clinic if you want some of that. Very homespun spot, great bartenders.

Yummy apps, great beer, great vibes. Was here on vacay and would come back and recommend to anyone in the area and not wanting wine. We only ended up here bc all the wine places were closed on July 4 or closed too early in the day. Thanks for being open for all of us, it was very much appreciated!!!

Originally we stopped in this quaint town for their famous peaches only to find their brewery is rather famous around town also. We got the Soul Shakin' Imperial Red (ABV 7.5%) and Peach Saison (5.1%). This is one of the most affordable breweries we've been to. 10 oz for $3, 16 oz for $4, or 20 oz for $5! The Imperial Red pours a dark amber, subtly sweet with a creamy finish. The Peach was nice and light, like a hard cider with a faint peach aroma. They also have a very good smokehouse items menu, we got 8 smoked wings$14 and a meat platter $7 filled with roasted turkey shavings, pastrami, smoked pulled pork, and brisket, served with BBQ sauce. The wings had a definitive smokiness to it and it was well seasoned, but the meat was rather dry. When they say wings, they should elaborate because these things were huge! It was the drummie and the wing. So for tow people you would be totally satisfied with an order of 4. The meat platter is an excellent value and you are given a heaping pile of meat for the price. I think our favorite was the smoked turkey. If you're feeling peckish, this is the way to go. No carbs or other distractions, just good ol' meat!! Sit outside in their dog-friendly patio area, play bean bag with your friends and chill under the dry, warm air.

Awesome beer, food and even better staff! Had a very minor mistake in our food and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and went above and beyond to fix it. We've been here before and will be back many times in the future!
