The 16 Best Restaurants to Visit on a Colorado Mountain Road Trip | Eater Denver

"Colorado’s best craft beer bar is lantern-lit and hiding inside this 1880s-era Buena Vista town jailhouse. There’s only room for 10 well-selected taps featuring beers from Colorado and beyond (see currently breweries such as Aspen, Weldwerks, Melvin, and Logsdon). Seating is equally cozy, and the bathrooms are their own adventure off the back patio." - Josie Sexton

Where to Eat and Drink in Salida and Buena Vista | Eater Denver

"This tiny beer bar in an 1880s jailhouse is a must-stop if visiting Buena Vista by night. A pair of beer industry veterans curate the tap list, and the space is full of lantern-lit nooks for long, pint-fueled conversations." - Josie Sexton

I friggin' love this place! Such an awesome selection of beer, and fantastic wood fired pizzas. Great atmosphere, indoors and outdoors. Knowledgeable staff, who were nice enough to give me several small samples before I committed to one beer. Half pours are also available, which is nice!

A brewery in an old jailhouse. It’s a pretty cool concept and a fun place to hang out. The bar area is a tad smallish and can back up quick but there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I sampled one beer which was very good and I gleaned from the reactions of others, the rest of the brews would have been tasty as well. I’ll stop back by here when I have more time and give the rest of the beverages a try.

Great atmosphere. Delicious beer. Friendly staff. Liked both the indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Dog friendly on the outdoor patios. Limited menu but good food.

Great place with good beer options and awesome atmosphere. Only thing is it's a slow moving line. If you can be patient it's worth it and they are very friendly.

Cute concept, very good beers, but bottle beers do not have a price on the menu and are pricy.

You have to stop herebif you like an awesome atmosphere, excellent and friendly staff, and an awesome selection of (rare) beers. Lots of Casey beers.

I've really enjoyed my two visits to the Jailhouse. They have an excellent selection of ten or so taps and very nice selection of bottled beers. I would argue they have the best tap and bottle selection in the Arkansas River Valley. It's been sometime since I last visited but I remember the staff being extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. Can't wait to come back.

This place always serves unique and sometimes hard to find beer. The setting is wonderful, classical, and very historic as it is the original jail house of Buena Vista. This whole section of the tiny town is definitely worth checking out. Oktoberfest was a blast!
