Daniel Torsell
This place is one of my favorite places to go grab some food and drinks! Their drink selection has lots of varieties of beers and cocktails as well. As far as the food...I highly recommend the potato skins. They are soooo good! I got the spicy chicken sandwich last time, and it was the perfect amount of spicy/savory. I recommend this bar to everyone looking for a good time.

Went here on a Tuesday night during trivia night. All the tables were reserved so we sat by the front window. I ended up staying a few hours and NO ONE ever sat at those “reserved “ tables the entire night. I also paid for my drink using my credit card. I had to ask the bartender twice for my credit card back. He seemed annoyed. I didn’t want to leave it open. It seemed kinda sketchy. The drinks were expensive and small. Bartender wasn’t very friendly. Ordered food, didn’t receive silverware. I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone

I had a great first impression of Colter Bay, they have an extensive beer and cider menu with a large variety of different breweries and flavour profiles to choose from. The patio was lovely on a warm Saturday afternoon. My family shared a nacho platter and some chicken wings. It was a great way to spend a Sunday in the long week end. I am looking forward to a return as the food looked very good.

Quality buffalo spot with a good atmosphere for eating or drinking. Beer forward establishment but they also have some good cocktail selections. Had some cool live music when we were there on a Friday.

Great local bar. Ate 2 meals here - both excellent. Wide selection of beer on draft, additional bottle/can options.
Emily Peacock
Amazing service. Leo and Rose are such great servers. We had a celiac friend and they gave so much effort to make sure we were okay. We could eat here. Really appreciate it and will definitely be back!
Austin D’Amico
Sat at bar, served by John C. Guy was very friendly, talkative and knowledgeable about beers. My better half enjoyed it. Both got Korean chicken sandwich, both cleaned the plate. Will be back, added to the rotation of places we go
