Elk is the Main Street of Crested Butte and Brushaus sits in a prime location. It has a huge patio and an outdoor bar. It has overflow/additional seating at picnic tables just on the other side of the sidewalk. Well behaved leashed pups are welcome with open arms in the outdoor area. Besides great comfort food, this place offers veg and vegan options and a long list of craft beer, imports and a full bar. The restaurant is large with two additional indoor areas but I never needed to go in so I didn't check it out. The first time we went we just had their giant pretzel and some drinks. The pretzel was made perfectly and served with a horseradish mustard and can add extra dips like cheese. The second time we ordered the wings and grain bowl which were both excellent. The standout here though was the service. Emmy was our server and she was attentive, friendly and kind. Make this your first stop when you arrive in Crested Butte.

I took my chihuahua here today to get walk around and look at the cars. They are open almost every day from 9-5 and not only allow dogs but you can get a photo with your dog in select cars. I expected maybe one or two cars but there were several. Any car not roped off or without the "doors locked" sticker you could sit in. They also had a room with hundreds of model cars, books and a small retail store. We had a great time. The owner was even there too! Amazing story about his life.
