“ Awesome local spot, totally worth the short trip off the hwy 26 -just do it. The bartender is so personable and the onion rings are light, fluffy, and nongreasy. Good beer selection, pool table. ”
“ Brightwood Tavern has always been the mountain’s living room. Third generation just took over ownership and I’m thrilled that they now offer excellent home cooked food with daily specials and soups. It is a 21 and over bar. It is also an excellent gathering spot for motorcycle runs and mountain bike events. Give the owners a call and make arrangements. I’m posting some photos from a motorcycle run stop. The service was outstanding with fresh hot food being served quickly. It was impressive how many people they served and the food quality. ”
