"The climber from Alaska was enthusiastic about our small town of Ouray and wanted to express her love with a snow-sculpture installation for Valentine’s Day. She told me 'I love how friendly everyone is here, and it is very supportive community for climbing with all the great guides and volunteers. If I ever decide to leave Alaska, I will for sure move to Ouray!'"

“We are in a committed relationship… with food.” 😜🍴❤️

The restaurant industry isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. It’s the late nights, the buzzing atmosphere, the high pressure, the plated perfection, and a deep love and commitment to serving creative cuisine.

At Brickhouse 737, we live for the hustle, the food flavors, and the community we’ve built both in the restaurant and around the table.

Executive Chef Cory Sargent and our kitchen staff are committed to an ongoing discovery to create flavorful dishes and specials. Chef Cory incorporates influences from his travels in Asia, South America, and Spain in his creations. Did you know he trained under famous chef Bryan Moscatello from the acclaimed hotel the Little Nell in Aspen?

‼️This Valentine’s weekend, our kitchen team will serve new mouthwatering specials!

📸 Don’t stop at one—keep swiping to see some favorite dishes and previous specials from the past year!

Will you be wine forever? 🍇❤️

After a day of exploring the San Juan Mountains—whether skiing, ice-climbing, or simply soaking in the views—there’s nothing better than unwinding with a perfect glass of wine with the one you love.

At Brickhouse 737, we believe every dish deserves a great wine pairing. From bold reds to crisp whites and everything in between, our carefully curated wine selection is perfect for complementing your dinner. Our front-of-house manager and owner Hans Vanderploeg, has carefully selected a range of exceptional wines from all over the world.

❤️🍇The hard work and labor of love that wineries pour into crafting the perfect blend is remarkable. One of our favorite wineries we have visited is the Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma, California. From hand-picking the finest grapes to patiently aging each batch, it’s a journey that takes time, passion, and precision!

👉 Swipe through to see some pics of our visit to the Buena Vista Winery!

Our Story

Ouray has been a special destination for world travelers for more than 100 years. Located in southwest Colorado, Ouray sits at 7,700 feet at the base of the San Juan Mountains. Surrounded on three sides by 13,000 foot snowcapped peaks, Ouray has been known since the 1940s as “The Switzerland of America.”

Ouray was first discovered by the Northern Utes, who considered this hot springs filled valley sacred. The city was incorporated in 1876 during Colorado's silver and gold mining boom and the historic Victorian downtown is now a National Historic District. Two-thirds of Ouray’s original structures survive and are still occupied today, keeping the town’s historic charm intact.

Ouray is home to sulfur-free hot springs, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, historic OHV trails, ghost towns and the world-famous Ouray Ice Park. It sits at the intersection of the San Juan Skyway Scenic and Historic Byway and the Alpine Loop Scenic and Historic Backcountry Byway and is known for the famous "Million Dollar Highway" section of US Highway 550. Ouray is located 75 miles north of Durango, 35 miles south of Montrose and 90 miles south of Grand Junction.

We can’t wait to welcome you to town and help you create your perfect mountain moment!
