About
Smuggler Union is a restaurant and brewery on South Pine Street in Telluride, with craft beer brewed on site. The kitchen uses Colorado-raised beef, pork, lamb and chicken, works with farms around Delta and Montrose, and makes nearly everything in house, from desserts, pickles and sausages to cocktail syrups and bitters. The fries are hand cut and fried twice.
Brewer Thomas Daly makes classic lagers, a wide range of seasonals and experimental beers. One of its beers won a bronze medal at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival in the Belgian-Style Blonde Ale or Pale Ale category. You can also order takeout.
History
Smuggler's Brew Pub opened in 1996 and takes its name from a local silver mine. Josh Klein and Melisa Pignataro own and run it today.
When to go
In fall 2026 the website listed hours of Monday to Saturday, noon to 8 pm, while the Tourism Board's off-season list said open daily, so call before a Sunday visit, and hours change with the season. Check the closures page before a holiday. In fall 2026 it listed the restaurant as closed for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Good to know
Groups under 14 can't reserve. The restaurant keeps upwards of 15 tables for walk-ins every day. Groups of 14 to 20 can book ahead, and larger parties and events are arranged with the restaurant.
