Paddler’s Pub

Paddler's Pub is an outdoor pub at 1329 N U.S. Hwy 287 in Fort Collins, set on the grounds of Mountain Whitewater, a rafting outfitter. It pours only Colorado-made beer and wine, with taps from breweries such as New Belgium, Odell, Left Hand and Snowbank, plus local wine from OBC Wine Project. The pub is seasonal, open from May through the end of rafting season.

The grounds include foothill views, sand volleyball, cornhole, giant Jenga and a kids playground, and the pub describes itself as kid and family friendly. Food trucks are on site most afternoons, with light snacks and a delivery menu from LaPorte Pizza at the bar. Two gas grills are available on days without a truck. Happy hour, summer live music and reservations are also offered.
