Whitewater Bar & Grill Experience

Refuel at Colorado's adventure hub with legendary margaritas, BBQ, sand volleyball, fire pits, and live weekend music right next to Royal Gorge Rafting.

The Heart of Royal Gorge Adventures

Whitewater Bar & Grill sits at the exact center of the Royal Gorge adventure hub—the same location as Royal Gorge Rafting and Zipline Tours. After your whitewater adventure or zipline flight, walk straight to the bar & grill to continue the celebration.

The Scene

Picture a rustic western bar with all the trimmings: an outdoor patio strung with lights, sand volleyball courts, fire pits for cool evenings, cornhole games, and yes, even axe throwing. Kids have their own playground while adults unwind. When weekend hits, live bands take the stage.

What's on the Menu

The margaritas here are legendary—regulars and first-timers alike keep coming back for them. The BBQ brisket sandwich earns consistent praise. The full bar and American fare menu means something for everyone, from hungry families to celebrating adventure groups.

Watch Your Adventure

Here's the cool part: photo kiosks and large screen TVs show slideshows of the day's rafting trips. You might catch yourself tackling a Class IV rapid while enjoying your post-river meal.
