Food Specials: Special pricing on appetizers from $5-8.
Merry's Rating: 3.5 stars (lowered from 4.5)
Merry's Comments: Great tasting food, the bar menu items are just the right size for a light meal or for sampling a variety of the kitchen's offerings. The atmosphere is very nice with lots of old world charm and the service is very good. It can get quite crowded as diners for the restaurant wait in the bar, but they move through pretty quickly. The rating was lowered a point from 4.5 to 3.5 because the cost increased quite a bit for food, the tier pricing where the most expensive appetizer was $3.95 changed to the cheapest appetizer priced at $5. Not such a good value but still the taste, atmosphere, and service were very good.

Excellent HH in Steamboat Springs
Mahogany Ridge Brewery & Grill
Steamboat Springs, CO
Most recent date visited: July 11 & 13, 2009
Happy Hour: Daily, 4-6 p.m.
Drink Specials: 1/2 price on all drinks
Food Specials: $1 tapas
Merry's Rating: 5 stars
Merry's Comments: We recently visited Steamboat Springs and happened upon this gem of a place. We sat in the bar on both occasions, the first evening was too late for HH so we tried the dinner menu, the items we had were very tasty. They specialize in fresh hand-crafted beers and they have a dipping menu, with over a dozen sauces to go with various meat, fish and vegetarian items. We liked dinner so much we went back to experience HH and it was fantastic! The $1 tapas plates were small servings (i.e. two coconut shrimp, 2 egg rolls, 1/2 cup hummus, etc.) but so tasty. And to top it off (and give it my highest rating) the service was impeccable: speedy, friendly, and the waitstaff remembered exactly what we had and what we were drinking. If you are passing through Steamboat Springs, make a point of stopping at the Mahogany Ridge!
