Highside Brewing - Fairplay - Fairplay, Colorado

Since the old brewery closed down, we checked this place out. The man that worked the bar said they had been open for 3 years. The walk up to the entrance was greeted by an out door, commercial grade smoke box. There was an operator putting large quantities of meats on.

When we entered through the threshold, and we're standing within, inside we were suprised to see beautiful high ceilings, clean wood floors and tons of arcade games. Also, there is a free pool table.

Last but not least, the food is great. So fresh. BBQ... brisket, pulled pork, and mac n cheese. So many more options to name. My friends tried the beers and said they were nice too.

Check it out.

Stopped for a couple brews with the fam. Plenty of space including outside for the kiddos to run around. They have pinball machines and a few other games, free pool table and table shuffle board. The coconut stout was fantastic. The BBq smelled great but didn’t try. Few TVs to watch some games. Will be back!

Great beer and horrible food. The beer is excellent with wide variety of options. My rating is for the beer only!! Tried several and all were very good. Hazy iPA was my favorite. The BBQ was a waste of $45. Brisket and burnt ends were hours under smoked and lacked flavor. Brisket you couldn’t cut with a knife was like shoe leather to eat and the burnt ends were either all fat or if it had meat they were very tough meat. Bring in your own food to enjoy with the excellent beer.

Excellent beer and atmosphere, friendly service, atrocious BBQ. Grainy, dry, severely overcooked. Worse than a frozen BBQ dinner from a gas station. Not to mention the egregious price for such a small, unfulfilling, flavorless mush of meat. Please look into this if you’re going to advertise BBQ.
5/5 beer, 0/5 BBQ.

Excellent tap house with excellent beer and BBQ. Family friendly with free shuffle board and pool table. Extremely welcoming staff, including the gentle and friendly canine hosts. Highly recommend.

First off Josh needs a raise , he’s hands down the best bartender this side of the Mississippi if not the nation. Second the food is always amazing. The brews are great always the crowd is friendly and Stella dog should be the honorary mascot with a pay check of her own. Honestly the only place in FairPlay I’ll go anymore on the rare occasion I even leave the cabin

Weak tea. The atmosphere was just “ok” nothing at all special. We came in for a brew and lunch. The young lady that waited on us seemed nice and efficient. I ordered the half slab of ribs on a scale of 1-10 I’d give them a 3 and not worth the $22 price tag. We both enjoyed our beers. We both felt the experience wasn’t worth our time & money. With tip the check for lunch with one beer each was about $67.00 - won’t be back unless to meet friends for drinks only. BTW despite saying the ribs were mediocre to our waitress and another bar back no offer of discount, etc was offered.

Great brewery. Fresh tasty beer, smoked bbq is really tasty as well. Nice dog friendly open space with shuffle board and pinball.
