Tasteful brews and amazing views! I was quite pleased with the local beer options on tap and the overall aesthetic of brewery. Not to mention, the large and spacious rooftop patio and outdoor seating allowing for great views of the mountains and the ability to soak in the sunshine. Be sure to also take advantage of the M-F happy hour drink menu! Would highly recommend. I look forward to coming back when in the CO Springs area again.

TLDR; fantastic spot that balances no-frills vibes, great food, good portions, and a stressless, simple experience. The kind of place that you could see yourself coming to many, many random times.I've been here a couple times now and it's always the same experience: good staff, quick meals, and I'm always left leaving satisfied. These guys make amazing homemade dishes - HIGHLY recommend the burger, dilly potato salad, and the Pork Dip. The day they take that Dip off the menu is the day OCC itself dies a little.The portions are on the medium-ish side, but they're fairly priced to reflect that. I usually leave pretty satisfied but not full, and I can really put away food.The vibes are pretty basic and no-frills, which isn't a bad thing. There's an outdoor long table and some neat artwork inside, but not really any space available for something semi-exotic. Think of a coffee shop - the space gets the job done, and at the end of the day, that's all you need!Not only will I be coming back, but I might just become a regular here!Parking: Check behind the venue (off Pikes Peak Ave. or the alley near there) first. I haven't seen that lot full on random weeknights, and it's free. On-street in front is $.

Took a minute to be approached by staff when we walked in but, there was an event in the area and also it was a Saturday,, needless to say they were slammed. That said, we sat at the bar and our waitress was friendly, quick, and checked in often. Food was phenomenal (get the potato salad!). Lots of vegetarian options which made my day. Girlfriend and I both loved the beers we tried. It was a little pricey for lunch but we will be back again and again.

If I could go zero, I would. I went online and found this place to be one of the best places for food and drink. It had high reviews. When I arrived, I parked on Colorado at a meter. I used the park-mobile app which costed $2.44 for an hour and a half. When we entered, we were greeted by Cameron who was standing behind the bar with two patrons. There was no one else inside the establishment. It was self seating and we chose to sit just to the left of the entrance. A short time later Cameron came over and provided both the food and drink menus. For drinks, I ordered the Paloma and my wife ordered the Rye OCC fashioned. To eat, I ordered the Bahn Mi sandwich with a side of regular fries. My wife ordered the OCC burger with a side of regular fries. We got our drinks first at a decent amount of time after ordering. My first sip and it overpowered my palette with grapefruit with a strong squeeze of either lime juice or a couple of limes. I didn’t get a taste of the tequila or the bubbly water that was supposed to be in it. My wife’s Rye OCC fashioned was okay but it was served in a dirty glass. It had a decent taste but not your typical old fashioned. Let’s just say we left both our drinks on the table when we left.We received our food and the bread to my Bahn Mi sandwich was already soaked and spongy. I took a bite and the chicken was definitely frozen. It had a horrible taste and the chicken was not tender nor did it have flavoring. The sauce that was used, dripped out of the sandwich after each bite. My wife’s burger was flavorless and very dull. There was no “catch” when biting into this burger. It wasn’t dry and had a good moist to it.Our waiter Cameron never came to check on us so, I could not give him a review of how everything ended. The only time he came over was after someone else (a female) picked up our plates and it was time for our check.The price for what you get is a little extreme. There needs to be more tweaks to make this place worth the price. I definitely won’t be back and will not recommend our friends or associates.Parking: Use the ParkMobile app

5 Stars does not do this place justice.First the service was amazing. Kristina from the moment I walked in was as friendly as they come, she yelled a WELCOME IN HON, WHATCHA HAVING?, asked her for your best IPA and she was all over it. Leigh was my server and she could not have been any nicer. The staff is extremely friendly and this a perfect neighborhood locale.The selection of food options is great. Got the Fried Pickles and Fried Mushrooms and they are TO DIE FOR. Perfect blend of seasoning and portions are spot on.The outdoor seating and upstairs patio are perfect places to just sit and either people watch or get amazing views of Pikes Peak while enjoying your food and beverage. Can tell during the summer this place must be hopping. Kudos to the owner(s) and staff for making this a really cool place to hangout, relax and feel like you are welcomed.All in all a great place in Old Colorado City and will visit again for sure!

I came here with my pool team to try a new place to eat. We were overjoyed with our experience here. Not one of us had any complaints. Our food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits. My taste buds were tantalized. It was the BEST; Most flavorful plate of food I have eaten in all of Colorado Springs.

At the time they only offered 5 beers, so ordered a flight of their 5.The place is a good vibe, the staff is friendly, food comes out reasonably quick, beer is good.Thursday nights at 6:30 they have Trivia.They are dog friendly, not sure if they can come inside, the few sets that I seen all choose to sit outside.They do have rooftop seating as well. It’s a good stop before heading back into town or heading up to WP.

This was our first experience at OCC Brewing. Drinks first- excellent. We had an IPA and a winter ale, and both were excellent. The gin cocktail I ordered was perfectly balanced- not too sweet, with a nice tang to it.We tried the poutine appetizers and it’s the best poutine I’ve had. I love the tangy pickled cabbage on top of a nice salty and savory sauce and perfectly cooked fries. If we had added the optional pulled pork this could have been a meal. We also ordered the pork dip and the banh mi sandwiches. The pork dip is something I’ll come back for! I love that lavender horseradish, and the au jus was delicious. The banh mi was really nice too. The dill-seasoned fries and ranch dip were worthy of ordering on the side or solo just as a snack- A unique flavor I’ve never had before!OCC loses a few stars for quite long wait times for food and drink and a few basic service oversights. The table was not wiped down when we arrived, we weren’t given plates to go with the appetizer, and we had to request napkins and utensils. The service was very friendly, and they seemed short-handed so we didn’t make an issue of it. Still, some basics like giving us plates for our appetizer shouldn’t have been missed.This may be picky, but the overhead fluorescent lights were a bit obnoxious and too bright. Perhaps some kind of shade or covering is in order? Otherwise, the space was great and the local artwork on the walls is a nice touch. We will definitely be back for the excellent food and drink and the friendly wait staff.
