We visited Palisade Brewery on a Sunday and had a mixed experience. Our beer flight included the Forbidden Beet, High Desert, Laidback Blonde, and Dirty Hippie. The Forbidden Beet was earthy and unique, the High Desert was watery and underwhelming, but both the Blonde and Hippie were enjoyable.

The food was a highlight—$1 wing night was a great deal, and the mild buffalo wings were pretty good. The grain pretzel with beer cheese was absolutely massive and delicious—highly recommended! The mustard that came with it was incredibly spicy and flavorful, adding a perfect kick.

One charming feature was the wall of local amateur art. While the pieces are objectively sophomoric, it’s a wonderful touch that adds character. Supporting local artists, regardless of skill level, is always a strength. There’s even a playful nod to Maurizio Cattelan’s Comedian, with a candy cane duct-taped to the wall—a quirky and seasonally appropriate detail we appreciated.

Unfortunately, the ambiance fell short. The TVs were tuned to sports, and the music was turned off for football, which clashed with the laid-back brewery vibe we were hoping for. Overall, it’s a decent spot for beer, food, and a bit of whimsy, but the atmosphere could use some improvement.

Their tacos are excellent! We will definitely be there for Taco Tuesdays in the future. Wow, great flavor profile! Our service was good and the beer was tasty. I definitely had a good experience at the PBC. Thank you!

Great local spot for beers and pub food. The beer cheese is absolutely divine! You get enough with one pretzel that it makes sense to add a second pretzel or use it on a sandwich. The philly was particularly hefty and delicious. Service was excellent 👍

Great vibes and awesome atmosphere. Very intimate and great for a couples date. Awesome food and even better selections of drinks. I love a darker beer so woodcutters daughter was definitely my fave. Dark and close to a meal in a cup. Also had the pumpkin spiced cider and that was way better than I thought. For real that cider is legit. Awesome experience all around and great people. Thank you for your awesome service and keep up the great work!!

Cool local brewery with great beer and food. We visit the Palisade/Grand Junction area every year and try to find local places like this. Palisade Brewing did not disappoint. The beer was great, and the giant pretzel was amazing!

Heard so many great things and was unfortunately disappointed with our experience. It easily could have just been a rare off-day, though! It took pretty long (45+ minutes) for our food to come out, and I was quite unimpressed with my French dip: It lacked flavor, the meat was tough, and the cheese was burnt (and not in a good way). But the pulled pork nachos weren't bad and the cucumber salad side was nice and refreshing!

Great refreshing stop here for lunch on our way to the Grand Canyon North Rim. Cold, crisp fresh brews, creative pub food, friendly staff. Small inside so arrive early for lunch to nab a seat at the bar or a table. Too warm to sit outside during our visit but you can if you want in the large canopy area. A fun experience.

We had a great time coming here. The beers were great. My husband and dogs loved the meat plate. Food is great. Nice relaxed place to hangout with the family and our dogs.
