The pump house is an iconic restaurant that was once an actual pump house for the Gold mining operation on Cripple Creek back in the 1930's . We highly recommend their Sunday Brunch and reservations are a must. For any other time, reservations not necessary.

Wonderful local brewery. Only open for "tastings" until 8pm, so if you are planning on going, make sure you get there early. 2 beer maximum may be consumed on their property, however, if you find a beer you love, you can get a growler to go.
