Misses: The production errors at Fish N Beer are seemingly minor, but they almost always impact a main ingredient. (Note: At the time of this review, the dessert menu was being overhauled, but if there’s pie available, order it.) Mountain towns aren’t known for their dining scenes, but that is changing in Summit CountyĬhook closes Stanley Marketplace location after nearly three years “Politeness is out the door”: Bartenders, servers tell all about customer behavior after COVID-19 Here’s where “Breaking Bad” actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul drank mezcal in Denverįeast on fowl and fire at Colorado’s original Nashville hot chicken joint The fish is charred but tender, smoky without being overpowering, and the couscous acquires a nutty flavor from being toasted on the stove. Your best bet for the main courses is the whole grilled Colorado bass ($28), from Alamosa, with Israeli couscous and Brussels sprouts. During happy hour, the Po Boy Slider ($4 each) features tender, nicely crisped shrimp, lettuce, tomato and a creamy Louie dressing. A less dense bread option than a brioche bun would be an improvement, though, so it could retain the heat of the grill while you eat. The main ingredient is buoyed by the house slaw (more on that below) and melty American cheese. It’s then hand-sliced and finished to order, so the meat retains all of those flavors. A whole loaf of bologna is coated in yellow mustard and cracked black pepper and then smoked for about four hours. If you’re looking for a between-the-bread option, check out the SNG Bologna ($11). Yes, there’s grilled bread (from City Bakery) for dipping. Rather than bake the bivalve mollusks and hide them under a crust of breadcrumbs, Fish N Beer’s fire-grilled options are simply heated up via flame until the small pool of melted garlic or extra-spicy devil butter is perfectly melted.įor a larger appetizer, try the PEI mussels ($15), which arrive in a bowl of luscious white wine and garlic broth. Here, you can choose between fresh and grilled ($3 to $4 each). Hits: Oysters are the only proper way to begin a meal in any fish-forward establishment. There’s also an artificial-turfed patio out back with four white picnic tables. (Though the proximity also means observant customers will notice inconsistencies in plating - like a white ramekin spilling over with cheesy pasta on one Lobster N Mac plate, and a barely full container on the next - that are all too common during the dinner rush.) The rest of the dusty blue room is taken up by white booths and freestanding metal community counters and accented by oyster-inspired art. Those counter seats are, unsurprisingly, the best in the house. An open, glass-fronted kitchen allows diners to watch their Colorado bass cook over oak-and-hickory-fired flames. If the food can rise to the festive occasion that the rest of Fish N Beer fosters, the restaurant will have a promising future in a neighborhood flooded with tasty eats. In most cases, minor tweaks would have big impacts. The food, though, and the attentiveness of the service could use some finessing. From the wood-fired grill in the open kitchen to the boisterous guests to the fabulous beer list, the eatery clearly knows how to have a good time.
