The Most Delectable Beer Bar in Aurora

Little Machine Beer

★★★★☆ 4.4 (183) • $$

"Cool brewery with good beers right by the football stadium. Nice views and there is free parking in the lot behind the building. They don't serve food but there is a food truck parked in the back. Big and nice patio and clean bathrooms. Also has some fun board games but not a ton of options. Nice people as well."

Great Divide Barrel Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (129) • $$

"The 1st time making a delivery of empty cans to be filled in downtown Denver. The directions were very simple on using the truckers map. Staff was friendly and unloading was fast. Thank you Great Divide for making my job easy today."

Mountain Pass Sports Bar

★★★☆☆ 3 (187) • $$

"GF friendly! Kyle was our server at the bar... he said he works here once a week albeit was so nice to talk with, as well as Mahlet... She came as he was on break.. and was great! It was worth every penny! They stayed open for us.. we were the last ones out... Casa Azule tequila was delicious!"

Junction Food and Drink

★★★★☆ 4.1 (105) • $$

"Junction is getting there!! I discovered this super cool food hall because I wanted coffee at Sonder and thought there would be a place to hang out for a few hours to get work done... SURPRISE!! It's not a café. Lots of great eateries (and a bar) to enjoy every hour of the day. Still not crazy busy like Avanti, Edgewater, or Milk Market, so take advantage while you can.Love the visibility of AV, subconsciously promoting private event space options to planner nerds like me. My main issue with Junction is that it's unclear where to bus dishes and glasses after meals. Other than that, I love the variety of cuisines represented. Solid selection of caffeine and booze. Wide availability of trash receptacles and restrooms. I've been here twice already, and it's a go-to suggestion for hangouts when I'm in the area.P.S. Cocktails at the bar are fantastic! There's also beer and wine. With only one person working, it can take awhile just for a single drink... worth it if you're not rushed. I had a Skinny Paloma, which was expertly crafted. Probably why cocktails take forever."

Pat's Tap

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"Chimay on tap automatically makes 5 stars. Family spot with sports tvs and allows outside food. Service was friendly and prompt. We'll be back!!"

The Crawling Crab

★★★★☆ 4 (72)

"Delicious and fresh seafood and the chicken wings surprisingly is so good! It's always nice to get a server who is all smiles, it makes it more welcoming! The place is huge and the seating is plenty!I love the hand wash station!"

Lakeview Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.8 (53) • $

"Good place to snag a beer and a great spot to play pool and catch vibes. Cash only, don't forget that part. Nice sloans lake local ish vibe (lol). Colors aren't allowed. Wish they put a sign up or something to let people know though."

Fringe A Well-Tapped Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (85)

"Absolutely delicious. I've never had a peach + arugula + pesto pizza and I will now crave it always. Also, arancini and burrata were incredible."

Cast Iron Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (312) • $$

"Bone comes out like butter! We have not had better #hotwings in a long time. recommend extra crispy. Of course, we always recommend #wingflats. Cast Iron #Tavern in #goldenco has so much great #comfortfood.#buffalochicken #hotwingschallenge #goldenrestaurants #wheretoeat #wheretoeatdenver #bestdenverrestaurants"

Barquentine Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.3 (50) • $$

"Barquentine has an amazing success story. At face value, it's a story of resilience and adaptation. Why you ask? Because they opened the doors of their beautiful taproom two weeks before the pandemic lockdown.A brand new brewery. With a large space. Inside a food hall.And to the naked eye, you would think they've been slinging beer at this location for a decade with no hurdles or hardships. I cannot begin to comprehend what businesses went through during the pandemic, let alone having your grand opening before the world flipped upside down.All that aside, Barquentine is a Belgian-style brewery on the west end of Edgewater Public Market. They boast a comforting, old world meets new world taproom. There's an outdoor patio and tented seating courtesy of the market at large. You can bring any of the food from the market into the taproom. Bring the pups and drink some patio beers!The owner and head brewer, Kyle Knudson, is a delight. A passionate beer slinger who finds content honoring old world methods paired with experimentation into the unknown. He takes chances, listens to his customers and finds a perfect balance of tradition meets creative freedom.My go-to beers are the following. Leapling Kveik Pale Ale, Sea Bear Saison and CherriTime Cherry & Blood Orange Ale. Mixed in are plenty of seasonals and hefty Belgian golden strongs.Barquentine is here to stay!"

Cerveceria Colorado

★★★★★ 4.7 (88)

"Great scene, patio area and there are food trucks here to get some delicious food. For those who don't drink beer, they have some hard seltzer flavors. The passion fruit orange guava punch. Staff are attentive and friendly. Tuesdays there is Loteria here."

Someplace Else Brewery

★★★★★ 4.5 (97) • $

"Saw a review of this brewery in a local magazine and was intrigued. SEB was better than expected: delicious beer, friendly and knowledgeable staff and owner, awesome setting with video games, outdoor seating and friendly patrons. Love how they tap a new beer on Fridays and appreciate a good mix of styles. Will be back for sure."

Parker Pour House

★★★★★ 4.7 (23)

"One of our favorite "go to" spots in Parker. We know we'll always have a good time - we love the food, we love the always changing variety of beer on tape, we love the atmosphere, and adore all the staff. If you happen to be there when Dee Dee's green chili is available, don't skip it."

I C Brewhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (98)

"This is a great bar & grill near Fiddler's Green Amphitheater.Raven is a stellar bartender. She doesn't hide bad alcohol with sweet mixers. Her flavored mules are especially fantastic, not overly sweet and very refreshing. The buffalo chicken salad is great. It's a good mix of chicken, veggies and spring greens. It's not a giant pile of iceburg with a chicken breast on top, like some other places. The onion rings are hot and crispy, breaded not battered.They have tons of parking and a nice patio with a big bar order window. Their dining room seating is primarily booths for 4 people. FYI: If you come in before a show at Fiddlers, they have more limited drink menu, to expedite getting beverages to everyone. And, you'll get your beverage in plastic, not a copper mug."

Tres Gringos

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67) • $$

"Great little place for lunch or dinner for Mexican fare. There is seating inside and out. We got the trio appetizer with chips, queso, salsa, and guac...delicious! Try the taco salad- different and unique from an ordinary taco salad- very tasty. Service is very good and attentive and we were able to have our dog with us outside."

Ratio Beerworks

★★★★☆ 4 (12) • $$

"There's a new ratio location in town, and I'm excited to try more of the beers they have to offer! This location has a more extensive menu compared to the one in RiNo, I love the increased variety in offering! I've been to their location in RiNo previously and this location looks aesthetically similar, but there's a whole lot more going on! They have a food truck on site everyday, lots of merch available and some more indoor seating compared to the RiNo location! They're gearing up for more events and live music here in the future so this location will be a good one to check out. Also, since it's winter, they have heaters next to every table which does help a bit if you can't find a seat inside. Since I live in the neighborhood, I will definitely be stopping by often to try the different beers they have on tap. The staff is quick and efficient with service and are more than willing to answer any questions you may have about their beers. For now at least, there's always street parking in the block around the brewery but this may get trickier as it grows in popularity as there will be multiple apartment complexes around that will use the street parking. This is not a brewery to skip and there's a different vibe here so if you're a fan of ratio's beers I'd definitely recommend a trip down to the overland neighborhood to visit their newest location."

Community Supper Club

★★★★☆ 4.4 (465) • $$$

"(STILL MIND BLOWING ~ lunch review!) Community Supper Club has been the best restaurant in Lafayette, CO for dinner for years now. Until recently, they weren't open for lunch however something magical happened this Spring and BAM! They are now open for delicious business starting at 11:30am. This officially makes them the best lunch spot in town. :DWhy?Well... because it's the exact same menu, staff, vibe and service as dinner! Everything stays 5 STAR+. In fact, it just gives you the opportunity to try something off the menu that maybe feels more lunchtime than dinner. As stated in previous reviews, I've eaten here a handful of times. Yet, I've never had anything from the handheld / sandwich section of the menu. It was a new day today, though! That's right. My husband and I tried the Crispy Sweet Sesame Chicken Sandwich w/ a side salad and the Pastrami Sandwich w/ tots. They were both 5 STARS but the Crispy Sweet Sesame Chicken Sandwich was CLUCKING FANTASTIC!! Shout out to our waitress, Brady, who really suggested this to us. Thank goodness we listened, because it may have been one (if not the best) chicken sandwich we'd ever had!! What made it so special? I think it was their use of chicken thigh instead of breast. It made the sandwich so juicy!! Highly recommend. (insert emoji smiley face w/ heart eyes)*BONUS*The back patio is open! It's cute. It's quaint. It's the perfect midday date!"

Colonna's Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (314) • $$

"Right on time. So delicious. These pizzas are quite big and very delicious. I ordered 2large one vegetarian and one trio."

BrewDog

★★★★☆ 3.5 (43) • $$

"Alright ya'll. I finally got the All You Can Eat wings at Brewdog and man was it good! You will need to make a reservation for Wing Wednesday so do that first. The 90-minute timer starts after ordering the first plate of wings. Service was EXCELLENT, from host to table, and Cameron made it feel like a warm hug of welcome. I started with a birria taco which was OK. The wings are finger-licking good, had just the right amount of crispy crunch, served hot, and were some of the best flavors I've ever tried. I got the Korean Bbq sauce, adobo, and buffalo and made me feel like Remi from Ratatouille. There are games and a photo booth. Indoor seating, high tops, and patio tables outside. I liked the small waiting lounge area at the entrance, poster signs, and portraits along the walls. Off-street parking only can be tricky but a space will free up eventually."

Vin Rouge Wine Bar & Tasting Room

★★★★★ 4.8 (36)

"First time visiting this fabulous wine bar...I loved bed it.Owner, Jenn was so warm and fun. The wine she recommended was delicious and exactly what I asked for. We ordered the Charcuterie board and it was delicious. You crackers she chose for the board were so beautiful (I know that sounds weird, but you have to check them out!!!). The ambience was lovely, gorgeous plants and cool art, very chic!Highly recommend-"

Glo Noodle House

★★★★★ 4.6 (151)

"GNH might be the BTS of the Denver Ramen scene... their dishes "light it up like dynamite!" If you're unfamiliar, BTS is a famous K-Pop boy band that sings the 2020 hit song, "Dynamite". Check your spotify or reference your last wedding, you know the song. :DSo what was so "Dynamite!", let's break it down...Upon walking in, I felt a "I-I-I'm in the stars tonight, so watch me bring the fire and set the night alight". They have really vividly colorful murals and lantern lighting from above that gives a "shining through the city with a little funk and soul". If you're thinking about this spot for a date or gathering, I think you can definitely "bring a friend, join the crowd". Anyone would enjoy the very music video-isc vibe. The service was "cha-ching like money" just on it! We were greeted with cool kindness, solid explanations to our questions about the menu and swift refills of our water glasses. We got the Deathwish and Miso Bacon... both were "Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na" and lit our taste buds up "like dynamite!" The broth in both was salty, savory and all kinds of "whoa oh oh"!If you like spicy, Deathwish is for you. If you don't, Miso Bacon. My favorite was the Deathwish. I'd say it was the "I'm diamond, you know I glow up" of the Miso Bacon, because the bowls have the same ingredients excluding their chili sauce (which I found to be a well-balance of spice, tang and delicately sweet). So, if you're in the area, I'd dance your way into Glo Noodle House! You'll be sure to have a "Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy" DYNAMITE experience. :D"

The Columbine Bar & Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (35) • $

"This is a classic neighborhood bar! It's the kind of place where the servers know not only everybody's names but also their orders. The service is very friendly, and the food is surprisingly good! I never would have known this place was here had my friends, who are regulars, hadn't suggested we meet up here.It's very reasonably priced and just a cool hang-out place!"

Colorado Campfire

★★★★☆ 3.7 (265) • $$

"We came here unexpectedly lather live in the neighborhood. Usually it's packed to the gills and appears noisy from the street. We came on a Monday night at 7pm and had our pick of in and out. Lots of bar space and patio if we had brought the dog. Service was fast and efficient. Friendly staff from start to finish. Food...lamb and mint burger, cooked medium, with a side salad and fries. Not bad but not quite the taste combo we expected. The fries had a mild Smokey taste which was very nice. Chicken teriyaki sandwich with tots. This was tasty but a tad too savory. The chicken was so damn big there was no way I was getting the sandwich in my mouth so I hacked it up with a knife which seemed more appropriate. Getting bits of chicken, slaw, bread and pickles would be the perfect taste but hard to accomplish as a mega sandwich. See pics! The tots were spiced up and also very savory and a hint of smoke too. Very unique. We didn't drink but the water was cold and plentiful! I would def return and try the burger and nachos as those looked very tasty on nearby tables. I counted 70 beers on tap, a well stocked selection of whiskey if beer isn't your thing. Lots of seating options and it seems likely that you could bring a good sized group here and find a place to sit. The booths accommodate 6 reasonably sized humans."

ZEPS EPIQ Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 4.3 (472) • $$

"Killer sandwich place! Stopped in today for the first time and ordered the Aspen melt with tots (truffle seasoning). My husband got the Pueblo cheesesteak with tots (bacon jalepeno cheddar seasoning). Both were to die for. Came out quick, decently priced, and huge portions. The tots were crispy and both of the seasonings were fantastic. Highly recommend grabbing one of the chocolate chip cookies. We made the mistake of skipping it and I regret it now lol."

The Werks

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"Stopped in this afternoon. Great concept with bowling, bikes, beer and bar and a brewery coming soon. The prices were exorbitant! $19 chicken wings, $22 burgers, $17 for two beers. I hope owners consider lowering food prices and have specials to get people in and keep them coming back. I would hate to see you close within 6 months."

Great Divide Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Went here by chance while in Denver for a conference. We did their 4PM tour ($10) which lasted around 20 min. The guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. As part of the tour, you get a mug and a drink which is not a bad deal. The expresso yeti was fantastic. Highly recommend."

Curio Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (59) • $$

"When it's girls night for you and your best, you choose Denver Central Market, and arrive before everyone else to grab a drink at Curio Bar! Heck yeah!Curio Bar is located within Denver Central Market in the heart of the RiNo neighborhood. They boast a bar full of Colorado crafted brew, spirits, and cocktails that will make any mouth water. After browsing the menu, I opted to sip on Catching Smoke. This cocktail features: Oaxacan rum, mezcal, midori, pineapple, and lime served up over crushed ice with a bendy straw and garnished with an umbrella. It's definitely a bevvie worthy of the 'gram. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get much of a smokey flavor to the drink, it was more of a strong, salty, margarita flavor. Given the name that was a little disappointing. Like other reviewers, I was also rather surprised by the hefty pricetag on most of the drinks. Though being there during happy hour took $2 off, and that helped me with my sticker shock. The bartenders were friendly and checked back with my friend and I to ensure we didn't need anything else. I love the RiNo neighborhood, so I can easily see myself coming back to Denver Central Market and more specifically bellying-up to Curio Bar - but probably during happy hour only. Cheers Denver!**Pro Tip: They offer a weekday happy hour from 2pm - 6pm. This discount includes $1 off all beer taps, and $2 off cocktails and house wines. Cheers!"

Western Sky Bar & Taproom

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"Kind of a strange location but that's my only complaint. Great selection especially if your friends don't drink beer. Patio was great with some shade. Beer tender was helpful and kind. Can't wait to go back. And the pizza smelled amazing.... But that might have been the 5 o'clock beer talking! Will definitely be back."

Fire On The Mountain

★★★★☆ 3.8 (309) • $$

Banded Oak Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.4 (84) • $

"Banded Oak is a fantastic part of Broadway. They've got a small indoor seating area right where you enter, including four or five bar seats, and a larger area over to the right. They've also got a nice patio which is good for groups. More importantly, they brew some great beers and always have a couple on tap that have been barrel aged. Great complex flavors - I stopped by again last night and figured I'd drink my beer in 20 minutes or so, but was there much longer just appreciating the fantastic beer! Staff have always been friendly and quick. Highly recommended, and happy they're just a short walk away!"

Sexy Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (81)

"Best pizza in Denver period. I have never ever been a fan of vegetable pizza until I had Sexy Pizza spinach pizza. Amazing and full of flavor. Enjoyed every bite!"

Junction Bar

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Amazing happy hour when I visited! This was inside the Junction food hall. I was able to get food at the many food stalls and enjoy delicious drinks at the bar. They had really decent drinks at happy hour for only $5. Super friendly and attentive servers. The food hall was a pleasant place to hang out and get some work done. Good wifi. I highly recommend checking it out."

New Image Brewing - Arvada

★★★★☆ 4.2 (300) • $$

"Are you a foodie? Are you a beer connoisseur? We'll look no further cause you're in for a treat!!! Let's start with food. This is a five star cuisine in a relaxing brewery setting. They serve farm to table cuisine that leaves your tastebuds wanting more. Now onto the beer. I'm a beer snob especially when it comes to IPAs. I've been to more breweries than I'd care to mention. My palate is hazy dank double and triples. They nailed it! We tried several that were incredibly good. Don't worry if you're not an IPA fan as they have other delicious types of beer too. We loved this place so much, we went twice in one week. Whenever I visit Denver again, this will be the first place I hit! PS: you must try their dessert. I'm not a sweet fan but I loved it!"

High Country

★★★★☆ 4.1 (33)

"Great addition to Boulder and better than the sister restaurant, Gemini Service 4/5 but super kind and nice! Loved our waitress! Ambiance - 3/5Menu - 4/5 Location 5/5 Order:Green pork chili - 4/5Summit bowl - 5/5Smoke show cocktail - 3/5Because I said so mocktail - 5/5Crispy AF onion ring - 4/5"

FlyteCo Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (109) • $

"I'll admit, I'm not much of a beer drinker anymore.SHOCKING, I know. These days, I'm just more into mixed drinks and wine, but when we were invited to a birthday bash for a friend, we happily made our way to Tennyson to indulge.Located off the corner of Tennyson and 38th, this little spot is easy to spot and has decent street parking! We easily found a spot to park nearby and walked a mere block before stepping foot into the cool, industrial space. With an aviation theme, it's easy to why people like this place. The friends we were meeting had reserved the space in the body of an airplane frame, which totally set the mood for a fun night out! What a cool vibe!As we made our way to the bar, I found myself overwhelmed by their small yet large beer menu - mainly because everything sounded delicious! We settled on a flight of 4 - which was the perfect introduction to their brews. I ultimately, settled on the IPA which was perfectly hoppy, yet refreshing which I enjoyed. My husband opted for the ale, which he found to be delicious as well.The staff here really shine in that they know their menu well, will offer small tasters at no cost and are beyond friendly. The two women behind the bar managed our larger party with ease and were Instagram models for the various photos people took! SO nice!I'm a sucker for this part of town, as Tennyson has really become a quaint little slice of Denver paradise and I can't wait to go back!"
