What our customers are saying

distillery

Favorite place to grab a beer with friends.

“We found The Barley early on in our time in Steamboat, and it has become comfortably our favorite place to grab a beer with friends. They offer a fantastic rotating selection of mostly Colorado beers (with some tourist taps that are almost invariably excellent), friendly service by people who know their beer, and fun events on a regular basis. It can get busy in the evenings, but can also be a surprisingly quiet place to grab a drink after lunch and get some work done in the afternoons.”

– Alan

distillery

The beer selection is phenomenal.

“I rarely write reviews, but this place deserves one! The beer selection is phenomenal and the staff is very cool and friendly. The Barley Tap and Bar offers awesome vibes and is a great location for a beer after a day of skiing! Definitely recommend!”

– Jason

distillery

Best bar in Steamboat Springs.

“Favorite bar I visited while in Steamboat. Great selection of very high-quality beers, both local and not, but all very good – you can tell whoever owns this really likes their beer. Also serve wines, spirits, and light bites. Ordered a few sours (Crooked Stave and Russian River Brewing) and IPAs (Weldwerks), and all were fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend if you like quality beer.”

– Josh

We proudly offer a wide selection of craft beers from Colorado that are unique and hard to find. With 31 different taps, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re not a fan of beer, no problem! We also serve delicious craft cocktails made with fresh ingredients and local spirits, along with 8 wine taps and a variety of non-alcoholic options.

We are committed to supporting our wonderful local community, which is why we proudly feature beers from local Steamboat Springs breweries such as Storm Peak Brewery and Mountain Tap Brewery, as well as delightful spirits from Mythology Distillery.

We’ve got a tasty snack menu, but we don’t serve full meals. The good news? You’re totally welcome to bring in food from nearby restaurants, and many guests love pairing their favorite takeout with a pint from our tap list.

Veggie/Vegan Options?
Yes! Most of our snacks are vegetarian- or vegan-friendly. The only exceptions are the milk chocolate in our addictively good Puppy Chow, and the rotating local game summer sausage (a favorite for the carnivores among us).

Absolutely! We’re a family-friendly spot during the day, and kids are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian – we even have custom coloring books for your little ones! That said, once the clock strikes 9:30 PM, The Barley turns into a 21+ hangout. At that time, we kindly ask that all guests under 21 – little ones included – head out for the night. It’s part of our liquor license, and it helps us keep things safe, fun, and fully adult after dark. Don’t forget your ID!
Street parking is available along Lincoln Avenue and the surrounding side streets. Parking is generally accessible, even during busy hours.
