We have always had good service and good food. We go there for a lot of games that we can't stream and get at home. They have always been willing to change a TV if the game isn't already live. The food is good and filling. Nice size portions. The staff is always polite and friendly. We never have a glass go to close to empty and empty plates do not survive long. Locals like it and so will you. Stop by for a treat!

Of course I would recommend this place. My husband and I come almost weekly and Pat the owner is just an awesome guy w a great restaurant with great food and a great welcoming atmosphere. It has a mixture of some Colorado vibes along with some beach vibes which makes it perfect! I'm sure I have some pics of over the last few visits of what I have ate. I usually get the Dante's red wine to drink which is my favorite along with a pickle shot lol I know weird combination lol but yummy! I have had almost all the apps and a few that are my favorite is the chips and salsa, buffalo wings (our fav fav) it's so spicy and we love it along w the house ranch that is my favorite because it's so creamy and has the perfect ranch taste! We also have had the mozzarella sticks another fav because it's so crispy and the cheese is actually the cheesy pull away cheese. Sometimes mozzarella sticks are also a hit or miss. But pats are great I have also had many side salads which I always end up eating two cause they're always so fresh and so good. It comes with cucumber, tomatoes, croutons and red onions and of course the lettuce which is romaine. I have also had the Cobb salad and it literally comes with everything but the kitchen sink. It's so huge as well. For main entrees I have had grilled cheese and fries (the fries I always get especially as an appetizer) they're the best fries ever. The grilled cheese was sooooo good. I have also had the house made tomatoe creamy bisque and that is my favorite to dip my grilled cheese in . I also have had the ham club again it was so delicious. On a toasted white bread with ham onions cheese mayo a few other things I can't remember. But again all fresh!! I've had so much more but off the top of my head that's what I remember. He also has two sides. One is a more formal dining and the other side is bar seating and some table seating. We always like the bar. He also has an upstairs kind of room with pool tables and so often singers come to preform. Overall I love pats and is the only place I truly go to that is in Estes where you feel truly welcomed. Wish I could give it a 10 stars

This was a great little place! It was one of the latest places open in Estes Park and it was great food and some good drinks. Estes Park rolls the sidewalks up and most everywhere closed down by 8/9 p.m. which we chose this place solely based on the amount of time it was open. We rolled into town, had a last minute presentation as I was there for a conference and didn't have time to eat before. All 6 in our party were hungry and looking for a few drinks. We rolled into Cousin Pat's and the staff was friendly and very attentive to ensure we were fed and drinks were full. All of us in our group had great food and would definitely go back. Be advised that the kitchen does close down earlier than the bar does in our case it was 2 hours before the close time. Overall great food and would definitely go back!

Went looking for something opened late to grab food after visiting the observatory (almost 11pm). This was the only opened place still serving food so I was prepared for some mediocre stuff from a bar but was pleasantly surprised. The food came out fresh and delicious. Our waiter was really awesome too.

This was the only joint in town open on a Friday night in early March that still serves food and would allow us in with our pup! Dani was our server and her customer service was the best! The wife and I kept it simple; I ordered a Philly Cheese steak and she had the house cheeseburger and they were both delish! The little bar/restaurant played modern country in the background. It has the great ambiance of a locals bar, perfect for Estes Park! We finished off the evening with some fresh Elk droppings! (Chocolate donut holes that you dip in caramel sauce). The elk droppings christened us and reminded us once again we were true Coloradans. So if your looking for a friendly place to eat late in the evening when the other restaurants turn you away, make sure to check this place out!
