For my first visit, I was greeted with the warm aroma of a fresh mash, making me immediately thirst for a pint. I struggled to make a decision, as the selection is undeniably incredible! For their hazy IPA, the Urban Lumberjack is not overly thick but offers a bitter, tangerine freshness. I loved that they carry the rare Cascadian Dark, IPA is the New Black, which delicately balances hop bitterness with a caramel malt backbone. I ultimately chose Hometown Coffee Stout, because it supports a local coffee roaster by delivering a deeply rich stout with amazing chocolate notes. I'll definitely return!

I came across this place first on Instagram and saw it was a Bills Backer bar. I used to go to Jacksons downtown but this place is right down the street. The food from Nickle City was ON POINT. This will probably be my new spot just because I try to avoid downtown at all costs. They have Labats on tap and also def try the loganberry spritzer. The vibes here are great too. #GoBills

This place captures everything that makes Colorado craft beer so special — amazing brews, friendly people, and a relaxed mountain vibe that makes you want to stay all afternoon. Every beer I’ve tried here has been top-notch — balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re into crisp lagers, hop-forward IPAs, or smooth stouts, there’s something on tap that will blow you away. The staff really know their stuff and are always happy to talk about what’s brewing or recommend a flight. The atmosphere is laid-back yet lively, with plenty of locals and travelers swapping stories over a pint. It feels like a true community hub — the kind of place you plan to stop in for one and end up closing out the night with new friends. If you love Colorado beer culture, this spot should be at the very top of your list. Incredible beer, great people, and that perfect mountain-town soul. 🍺🏔️

Love everything about this bar. As someone who’s native to Rochester/Buffalo, this place feels like a little slice of home ! During Bills games there’s a delicious Rochester/Buffalo food truck that is such an amazing addition to the experience. And their drinks are all so incredibly delicious, especially their new Spiced Apple Cider ! Every worker here is so fabulously friendly and helpful, and the energy is unbeatable ! Could not recommend this bar enough
