The Brick Pony Pub

The Brick Pony Pub Description

The Brick Pony Pub sits inside a beautifully preserved Victorian-era brick building on Midland Avenue, the old main street of Basalt’s original railroad camp, and the bones of that history are very much part of the atmosphere. Boots, chaps, and cowboy hats are genuinely welcome here, and the regulars tend to show up in them. Located 20 miles down the valley from Aspen, the Brick Pony Pub operates as something of an antidote to the resort scene up the road, offering local prices, a working-class western culture, and food that is actually made from scratch.

The kitchen takes sourcing seriously. The menu draws from locally grown organic produce, organic meats, and sustainably raised fish, and those ingredients show up across a range of familiar American pub standards built with more care than the format usually gets. Comfort food anchors the menu, with pizza, mac and cheese, tacos, and nachos among the regulars. Burgers and sandwiches cover a wide range, from a spicy Ghost Pepper Burger to a vegan-friendly bean burger, and the pizza program accommodates vegetarian and gluten-free requests. Baked goods, ice cream, and desserts round things out for guests who stay past the main course.

The bar runs a full service program and is particularly known for keeping beer cold, which sounds basic but earns consistent mention. Happy hour adds another reason to settle in. The building itself carries an unusual distinction worth noting: the upper floor is a private luxury condominium penthouse, making the Brick Pony Pub one of the more eclectic properties in the valley, a ground-floor western pub beneath a high-end residential unit, occupying the same historic brick structure.

Outdoor seating extends the experience into warmer months, and takeout is available for guests passing through. Brick Pony Pub serves lunch, dinner, and dessert, giving it consistent daily draw for Basalt residents and anyone driving the valley corridor who wants something honest, reasonably priced, and made in-house.
