South Park Brewing on Colorado Springs’ west side (2028 Sheldon Ave.) is more than a brewery. It’s a distillery, too; along with the craft beer, people come for cocktails made from South Park Distilling’s whiskey, vodka and gin.

And more and more, people come for the burger.

Yes, that’s what we love here most ー the super-tasty smash burger served in a generous basket of fries for $13. Pro tip: Ask to swap the fries for the cheese curds. And also don’t miss the fried chicken, sandwich or tenders.
