Steamworks Brewing Company

Steamworks Brewing Company is more than a restaurant and a taproom. It is an iconic destination for those who live in or visit Durango. There is a good reason why this restaurant is always bursting with activity- it has some of the best food around while having a lengthy list of craft beers available.

The Food

Steamworks has a wide variety of food that will please even the pickiest of eaters. They provide fresh food in a setting that is comfortable for the whole family. The menu includes creative recipes that include everything from sandwiches to steaks and seafood (and make sure you try the famous cajun boil).

They have many Southwestern-inspired dishes like the Stout Braised Chimichanga and the Black & Blue Country Fried Steak that will surely please your taste buds as well as other diverse dishes like Japanese Noodles and the Bacon Royale Burger.

Steamworks also has some of the best “bar food” around town (think burgers, fries, and fish and chips). Their burger menu includes eight ½ pound house burgers that are crafted from premium Certified Black Angus Beef that is always fresh and is 100% hormone and antibiotic-free.

Perhaps you are a vegetarian? No problem! The Quinoa Burger is a classic vegetarian option for those looking for a burger without the meat.
If you decide to dine at Steamworks Brewing Company, keep in mind that they may have a decent wait on Friday and Saturday nights, and they do not accept reservations. Overall, this place is well worth the wait.

Featured House Beers

Are you ready for one of the largest in-house beer selections in Durango? That is exactly what you will find at Steamworks and with such a large selection, you will surely find the perfect pairing to go with your meal.

They have popular beers like the Third Eye IPA and the Colorado Kolsch which are distributed around the country and also more unique beers like the Prescribed Burn (a German ale conditioned with Habanero, Poblano, and Hatch Green chiles) and the Dirty Little Secret (a chile chocolate stout). These exclusive beers are excellent for the craft beer enthusiast looking for a different taste.

Events

If great food and tasty beer weren’t already enough, they also hold weekly events to cater to tourists and locals alike. Each year, the popular Iron Horse Bicycle Race is held and believe it or not, part of the track goes straight through the restaurant and is one of the most unique races around! While they hold multiple yearly events and are deeply involved with the local community, they also have weekly events such as keg raffles and pint nights.
