Melvin Brewing - Alpine
Perched on the edge of the gorgeous Palisades Reservoir, Melvin Taproom & Kitchen is where street food collides with award-winning craft beer—and a damn good time. All your favorite Melvin brews are on draft and ready to go, plus wild, small-batch creations you can’t get anywhere else. Hang inside or outside—we shuffled some furniture to make it a comfier spot to kick back. Crush a round of disc golf, play games inside or out, and soak in the mountain vibes. It’s kid-friendly, dog-welcoming, and always party-approved. With bold food, occasional live music, and a view that hits different, it’s your ultimate après-anything hang—just 30 minutes from Jackson. Come thirsty. Leave recharged.
