Rosie's is in an old wooden storefront, a block off the main drag. There is a bar on the main floor and a dining area upstairs.

This brewpub is small. Total seating capacity is probably not much more than 50 people. Unlike many brewpubs, Rosie's doesn't take the wood and exposed brick route. Instead, the floor is carpeted and most of the woodwork is painted in pale colors.

The atmosphere is pretty laid back. But why a steady stream of 80's guitar rock is played through the speakers is anyone's guess. I was in town at the same time as a major bike race, so the place was packed. It was pretty obvious that the staff wasn't used to this much activity, as they seemed to be having a hard time keeping up. Despite this, service was good.

The food is typical pub fare. Lots of burgers and sandwiches dominate the menu. Portions are big and the quality is pretty good. Prices are reasonable by mountain town standards, but higher than what you'd pay if Rosie's was in Denver.

Overall a nice place that I'll visit again next time I'm in Leadville.

Neat place that looks to be in an old boarding house or hotel. Just a block or so off of the main highway through town.

We stop here for a beer when passing through Leadville. Have always been through on weekday afternoons. Not crowded then and appeared to mostly be locals hanging out.

Beers have always been good. The barstaff has always been friendly and pay attention.

Have not tried the food but did look like a decent menu. Downstairs dining area around the bar looked small but more seating upstairs.

A great brew pub up at 10,000 feet. This pace was happening. You would think the PBR crowd of the town would not let it happen but with the high altitude they where in need of something awesome up here. The beer was great the food also. The service was above the rest. The servers went over and above trying to make you happy. Talked with the brewer and owner and they where awesome also. This was a highlight of our Colorado Road trip. If ever in Leadville stop and have a brew and the wings are awesome too.

After my computer class in Vail, I thought I'd run down to Leadville and try Rosie's Brewpub. It is only 33 miles from Vail. Over two freakin' mountains! What I thought would be a 40 minute drive was more like an hour.

Cool place. Obviously a local hangout. But it's bright a cheerful and the service is excellent. Rosie's is in a little frame house a block from Leadville's main drag. It is nothing fancy, but the pale ale was pretty good. Just hoppy enough to help cut the jalapeno heat, but not overpowering. I didn't think a 7% stout would be a good idea for the trip back to Vail. It was Happy Hour, and I had a basket of fried jalapeno slices. The total bill was $4.01.

This person needs 3 or more reviews on the site for their scores to start counting.

Rosie's Brewpub is one of the best places in Leadville. They have a good selection of beers and the food is excellent.

I went to Rosie's Brewpub in December 2007 with 5 friends. The sampler was a great way to try all the beers. Interestingly enough, the stout wasn't much to talk about by itself, but it made the BEST stout float I have ever had!

I highly recommend visiting Rosie's Brewpub if you're ever in Leadville, CO!

BTW, Colorado is a no smoking state.
