The Most Delicious Venues & Event Spaces in Aurora

Prost Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (92) • $$

"This is such a great addition to the Northglenn community offering indoor and outdoor seating- great for a group gathering or simple visit.The long tables offer great seating options and the layout of the facility is very well laid out with bathrooms on both levels and view into the fermentation room.The bar is typically one line with multiple bartenders helping assist the line. It may look discouraging but it goes fast! The food is all amazing and they deliver it directly to your table. We love having Prost here!"

W XYZ Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Hip and laid back. Nice staff and pretty bar! Not crazy busy but they have a decent selection of liquor. It's also not over priced for a hotel bar and I could go here even if I just want to have a chill night. They are always playing good music and the furniture is extremely comfortable. Drinks are made well and the bartenders are always happy to make something new that they haven't heard of."

Liquid Mechanics Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (118) • $$

"This place is awesome. They allows dogs outside AND inside!! Game changer, really though. The beer selection is great and the staff is so nice. I'll be frequenting this brewery for sure."

Bigsby's Folly

★★★★☆ 4.3 (281) • $$

"$30 wine and dinner on Mondays. The old warehouse with the wood beams is fascinating on its own, but the super attentive service and attention to detail should not be missed. It's all high tops but amazingly they are balanced and don't rock. Someone had to make that happen and she you are cutting a hand crafted margarita flat bread it's appreciated. Also, on Monday they have a special that our server Rachel suggested and we got a $60 carafe of Sonoma Cabernet with the flatbread for only $30. Thank Goodness it's Monday!"

Kaos Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.9 (596) • $$

"It's a cute place with very friendly staff but very meh food. The garden and back patio are cute and dog-friendly, which we loved. The beet salad was better than we expected, the beets were sweet and plentiful, but the goat cheese was dry and crumbly like it came from a repacked box. The pizza was terrible. The dough didn't cook, it was soggy, and the crust was not bubbly or nicely golden. The toppings were OK although the fresh mozzarella was a bit stringy, not what expected and some pieces didn't have cheese at all. There is no reason for bad pizza."

Lariat Lodge Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (592) • $$

"Sat at the warm, cozy bar and they put on the football game we wanted to see! The food was extremely good. I had an Octoberfest spaetzle special with a side house salad. The salad was sooooo good I could have eaten an entire large mixing bowl! Spring mix with dried beet sprinkles, tiny sweet marinated yellow peppers and a KILLER house made green goddess dressing. Ou server behind the bar, Kaitlin, was super attentive, and by her looks, could be Kat Timpf's sister. Will definitely be returning!"

Cerberus Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.1 (541) • $$

"Came here after a long day with my husband and kids and it did not disappoint. The servers were friendly and the food was delish. All the beers we tried were great too. The vibes were chill and friendly. Will definitely come back."

Coohills Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (310) • $$$

"What an incredible dinner! They have so many amazing gluten free options. We ordered the gluten-free crabcakes, which were absolutely incredible. I've never had crabcakes this delicious. We also ordered the aged tofu dinner that was incredibly and surprisingly delicious. We also had the fries and a salad, which all were spectacular. Our waiter Craig was incredible to. we had a really nice anniversary dinner and would highly recommend this place. The service the food the quality the ambience is out of this world."

Milk Bar - Denver

★★★★☆ 3.9 (161) • $

"Coming to milk bar on a Saturday night was the most fun I've had in awhile! I absolutely loved the different genre rooms. The overall vibe was great too, everyone was just having fun and it wasn't an intimidating space to dance in at all. I'd recommend arriving before 10 because the cover fee is $5 instead of $10, it's less crowded to start, and there was no line to get in!"

Uncorked Kitchen & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (130) • $$

"Taking a cooking class at Uncorked is a great way to to mix it up for date night. My husband and I love cooking together, but we don't get much of a chance to do it at home since one of us takes the lead on cooking while the other one is busy chasing around a toddler. We signed up for Along the Shores of the Mediterranean, which has a menu that would be easy to replicate at home. Best part was that the course was well timed. We had the opportunity to prepare almost every dish except the dessert on our own. There was even time to sit down and enjoy the meal while chatting with new people. And don't forget about those gorgeous mountain views! Our menu consisted of the following:+White Wine Steamed Mussels with Tomatoes, Olives and Basil+ Grilled Halloumi with Rosemary- Grape Walnut Relish and Baguette+ Cod with Pancetta, Artichokes, and Olives+ Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Whip CreamGiven that it's only a three-hour class, the learning part consisted of a very brief refresh on knife skills and cooking technique. It was a fun and memorable evening; we would love to return for another date night!"

X-Golf

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Let's tee off into X Golf DTC, Denver's premier indoor golf training & recreation center! This spot is perfect for seasoned golfers, curious beginners, and everyone in between. We arrived at X Golf DTC and were led to our golf simulator. You can bring your own clubs or rent clubs onsite. X Golf staff were attentive and gave us a full rundown on how our simulator worked (shoutout to Emily & Cecelia for great service). One of my favorite parts of X Golf was the ease of teeing up. With their patented DrivePoint system, we could load the golf ball onto the tee with a simple press of a button. This way, we were able to focus on our swings without manual distractions from a tee -- perfect for practice & play.Our experience was fast-paced fun with no waiting for slow groups ahead of us. We were able to play iconic courses like Pebble Beach, Bay Hill, and Bethpage Black. It's possible to play 18 holes in around 60 minutes. If you want to improve your game, X-Golf has a PGA professional that you can book lessons with. The professional can analyze your swing and provide valuable insights to improve your game.There was a full bar & food options. We enjoyed specialty cocktails & a variety of craft brews & seltzers (there were solid drink specials). For food, we ordered inhouse appetizers - wings & pretzel sticks. For mains we were able to order burgers from Bad Daddy's. The burgers were delivered in under 20 minutes (super-fast & convenient).X-Golf DTC is more than just state-of-the-art golf simulators, it's an event destination. Whether it's friends and family gathering, a birthday, corporate event, or holiday party, X-Golf offers tailored packages including food, beverages, & venue options. Swing by, sip, & savor--it's all par for the course!"

Parker Garage

★★★★☆ 3.5 (576) • $$

"The atmosphere here was really cool and I stopped on to meet with am old friend that was in town. He got the porkchop with the mashed potatoes and really enjoyed it. I got the large corn dish (like street corn) and steak. The corn was awesome and the steak was ok (I'd pass on it next time). I tried some beer and liked the selection. I liked the seating at the bar area and will definitely check this place out again."

The Island

★★★★☆ 4.3 (33)

"What a little gem! So nice to play sand volleyball in the middle of winter! It was $10 a person. It looks like they have 6 courts inside and quite a few outside too. I will say it smells a little musty in there, but I'm sure that's just expected when you're playing volleyball in a warehouse in the winter. I didn't notice it after being in there for a few minutes. We had SO much fun it didn't bother me at all.We didn't stick around for drinks but they had great deals, I'll definitely be back!"

Black Forest Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24)

"There's nothing like a fantastic brew house in a very rural , local location. Very traditional and had some great choices for beer. What was even better was that my wife does not light beer but they also have wine. The service was top notch very friendly. Will definitely be back"

The Lobby

★★★★☆ 3.6 (866) • $$

"Only one server serving the restaurant when we went on a Tuesday morning and she was crushing it. Fried pickles has a kick and I was obsessed Some sort of coffee alcohol beverage- was terrible. Don't recommend. Go for the bloody marry or the mimosas I got a side of the breakfast potatoes and they were yummy. Just needed a lil salt and pepper but that's it! Side of biscuits and gravy. Now I'm from the south, and the gravy is sweet. It threw me off a bit but the biscuit was fluffy and homemade. I would get it again My husband got the breakfast platter and he loved it"

Restaurante La Pily

★★★★☆ 4 (6)

"I have been to this place many times! The michelada and cantaritos are excellent! So is all of the food! Love the barbacoa tacos con consommé, machete taco combination, mole, shrimp cocktail, all the homemade salsa...really everything that I've tried here over the many times I have been here have been delicious! Staff is very accommodating and kind!"

Lone Tree Brewing

★★★★☆ 4 (8)

"Great service and ambiance, nice vibes, and have a bangin fish truck quite often.. Irie"

Wrigley's Chicago Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (208) • $$

"I came strictly for the Italian Beef sandwich, but the wife and I decided to turn it into a Friday afternoon happy hour/date night. First time here and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice establishment they have. Family owned and operated, the lady owner came up and said hello. Super friendly, I was curious and had some questions. She showed me all the upgrades they are doing. The patio is very big, and they were setting up for live music that evening. The waitress lacked that fun personality, but she was attentive and did get the job done. I liked their happy hour drink special. Basically $1 off whatever you choose. Nice! Keeping it simple. This is NOT a dive bar nor super upscale. I felt it fit the bill just right. We will be returning. PS. I'm from Chicago and It's hard to find a Chicago Style Italian beef here in Colorado. This place is the real deal when it comes to their selection of Chicago food. Outstanding!!"

Morris & Mae

★★★★☆ 4.3 (81) • $$

"I only knew of Morris and Mae thanks to Yelp with a fabulous Elite event in 2023. Fast forward a year later when some friends and I were in need of a place to eat after a hike in Morrison. I instantly remember this gem and it was the perfect spot for us....poke, tacos, Italian, mac and cheese and sandwiches plus craft beer from local breweries, this place has something for everyone!Parking was ample during the day and it had a good crowd but no lines for the stalls. Staff is super friendly and floats around from stall to stall plus they have a lot of seating and then I found out, fun events throughout the month. I had poke and an IPA this time around and thy paired up well together, mahalo, Morris and Mae!"

Emerald Eye

★★★★☆ 4.2 (29)

"We were wandering down Larimer street and we were planning to grab a Lyft at the end of the road. Before we ordered it, we saw a red neon sign that read "cocktail lounge". We headed towards it and decided to walk down the stairway with the mint green painted walls. I'm so glad we did. I had the clarified punch and it was one of the best cocktails I've had recently. So delicious. The other cocktail we tried was also good even thought I don't like mescal as much as other spirits, it was still well balanced. My partner said he enjoyed it. Service was attentive and swift. This place had a really chill, tropical vibe with beautiful mood lighting. I very much enjoyed relaxing over a delicious drink in the Emerald Eye lounge and will definitely go back to try other cocktails next time we are in Denver."

Alpha Charlie's Tap & Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (182) • $$

"Went here for Round 1 - Game 4 of the NHL Playoffs for the Avalanche versus Jets. First thing I noticed was all the TVs and they had the game on so we could sit anywhere and have an awesome view. Someone was walking around handing out raffle tickets for Avs fans wearing gear so that was fun. Been checking on social media for the winning raffle ticket but forget when they were going to announce it.Ordered a plate of Little Charlies (sliders/fries) and a bowl of green chili. The green chili came out lukewarm which was a disappointing cause the flavor was there. At the end of the bowl was a spice bomb that hit you hard. The sliders were decent and the fries really stole the show.Service needs to improve. Our waiter walked by us numerous times when both our drinks were empty and he just decided to chat with his buddies or bus tables. *Shrug*. I would still return though. The atmosphere, drink selection and food were great. If our waitstaff chatted with us a bit we would've felt welcomed. Instead we were rushed at the beginning and then completely ignored by the end of the game. Regardless I'd return but if we got the same person I would definitely ask for someone else."

University Club

★★★★☆ 4.2 (17)

"So this is how the other half dines?I have a colleague who is a member of the University Club. According to him, the only requirement for membership, beyond being sponsored, is to have attended a University. It's certainly a different world. I have been his guest on two occasions, both for dinner. The first visit was Prime Rib night. The second was New Years Eve.Upon entering, I observe a sign stating, "Please turn off your cell phones while in the Club." I like that. We start off in the bar upstairs for cocktails and snacks. The bar is a private room, providing a secluded space for private conversations. This is the ultimate bottle service experience!We then stepped into the dining room. White glove service is the standard. The fare is steakhouse traditional, with aquatic options available. On my first visit, I tried the Prime Rib. The meat was a nicely presented, perfectly cooked slab, with asparagus and au gratin completing plate.My second visit was on NYE, and there was actually a wedding reception in full swing. It's nice having the private bar to escape the din. Dinner started with a shrimp cocktail amuse, tomato bisque, and a NY strip with asparagus and whipped yams. The steak was cooked perfectly. Dessert was cheesecake. The only miss is their coffee; it tasted stale.The Univeristy Club is a nice treat!"

Flights Wine Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (128) • $$

"Appetizers were delicious. Service was timely and friendly. Ambiance was pleasant. We were there on a beautiful sunny late fall day and enjoyed the three piece band. Awesome wine specials! Love this place."

Bowlero Cherry Creek

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (67)

"This bowling alley was much better back when it was Monaco lanes. Now owned by corporate Bowlero, they jacked up the prices so high it's ridiculous. We came with a party of 8, two of the members in our party were under the age of 3. We were told that they charge for every person in the party. This is ridiculous. Do you know the attention span of a 2-3 year old? Chances of them trying to bowl more than 3-4 times is pretty slim before they want to run around screaming. On top of that we got some food and they failed to mention the 18% surcharge added to any food/beverage ordered, so they ended up getting a 40% tip out of us for counter service. So for 3 burgers, mozzarella sticks, 1 kids meal, 1 soda, and 2 beers, was $100. F that. The burger was good though, so I'm giving Bowlero 1 extra star. We will never come here again though."

Bowlero Englewood

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"We stopped in with our kids on Saturday night relatively early (about 6:30ish). There was no wait and we got set up in short order. There were 5 of us in a lane and we bowled a couple games and had snacks and drinks too. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The space was really clean and they were on top of keeping things moving smoothly. I've been to plenty of bowling alleys, and this one was really family friendly. The music wasn't too overpowering, the lanes were in good shape, the food came quickly and the kids got some arcade games in too. I would definitely go back."

Adobo

★★★★☆ 4.1 (61)

"Have you ever wondered what chefs were before they became chefs? I recently had the opportunity to chat with Chef Baggao and learn about his incredible journey before Adobo which opened in March of 2022. A former finance guy, his life took a turn after a motorcycle accident left him with a brain injury. The road to recovery was tough, but he eventually found his passion for cooking and has since opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant after starting out with a food truck. His focus now is his business and being a father to his daughter Olivia. He incorporates his grandma's recipes into his menu, adding his own unique twist. From classic Pansit to flavorful Lumpia, and an amazing Pork Belly plate, Adobo has it all. His New Mexico influences are also evident, with Taco Tuesday and festive decor. And don't miss out on their delicious Ube Colada and Calamansi Mule cocktails made by their Award-Winning Bartender of the year Dylan. And did you know they were featured on Netflix's Fresh, Fried, and Crispy? Check out the Denver episode! If you haven't been - go now!"

Bar Standard

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (43) • $$

"Super chill vibes and crowd. You can literally show up in shorts and flip flops straight from your pool party. Great view and summer breeze from the roof top terrace. Full bar including premium liquor. Not a whole lot of places to sit and lounge but you're gonna be dancing anyway. The crowd is a mix of a bit of everyone. Where else do you see ravers wearing angel wings mingle with flower children, S&M couples, gays and ballers? The DJ was hit or miss, though. He'd play a good song and get the dance floor packed, and then some weird stuff losing everyone. Instead of transitioning to a better song, he'd just watch the crowd stand around."

Halfpenny Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.2 (109) • $

"We stopped in on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The bartender was super friendly and offered us lots of samples of their different beers while chatting with us. We enjoyed their "biergarten" out back for a bit before the heat sent us back inside to the cozy corner of couches. We had a few different beers and all were delicious! Overall this is a great spot with a good variety of beer, lots of seating, and friendly service."

The Greenbriar Inn

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (188) • $$$

"What a most wonderful brunch at the Greenbriar Inn! The location is lovely and we had chosen to sit on the "sun porch." There was no sun today, but it was still a pleasant place to be, because one could enjoy the view and the in-floor heating. The restaurant was full, but we had no problem holding a conversation. It was nice to see that our company ranged from very old people using walkers, to families with children, to young single friends and couples. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and loving the food.The waitstaff was plentiful so that everything moved fast if necessary, but one never felt rushed. Our waitress was knowledgeable about all of the menu items and gave good advice. She was very attentive, but didn't hover and never interrupted our conversations to check " if we were happy." Excellent service!of course all of that, while delightful, is icing on the cake. The real question is if the food is good. It's delicious! Flavorful and subtle. My companion and i both had the oysters Rockefeller to start. They were perfect. Subtle flavoring where one could still taste the lightly cooked tender oyster. id like to eat those every day. That light touch combined with a deep flavor profile was also evident in my shatchuka and my companion's butter poached crab eggs Benedict. The menu was varied; there were lots of other selections that were tempting.i would go back to the Greenbriar any time, and highly recommend it."

Fort Greene

★★★★☆ 4.4 (72) • $$

"One of my favorite bars in Denver. I feel perpetually uncool here, which I think is a sign of a good bar, imho. Super rad ambiance, good drinks, extremely cool bartenders, and usually a nice chill vibe."

Celebrity Lanes

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (184)

"Still fun, still a lively atmosphere, and the food and service were top notch! If I could change one thing it would be to remove the music "videos" flashing at the kids all while trying to bowl. They are super distracting. Here we were trying to get away from screens and bowl for a while but nope, screens everywhere. They could tone it down a bit and make it a more enjoyable experience by shutting those off. The music is enough!"

Dry Dock Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (461) • $$

"We've been going there since, well, before it was trendy (Way back in the early 2000's). They have always taken brewing seriously...and it shows!"

Curtis Ballroom

★★★★☆ 4.3 (17)

"Truth be told, I have no idea how to even start this review, because I was so impressed by everything. Literally EVERYTHING was perfect - down to everything from the temperature of the room, to the napkins on the table. I was 100% blown away. Let's start from the beginning, shall we.About 6 months ago, my husband and I were in search of the perfect wedding venue. We had the idea of a rooftop/terrace ceremony and reception (which was exactly what we got with Curtis Ballroom). We set up an appointment, enter Kacey. A smart, bubbly, young woman, who was eager to help us and create our perfect day! After her introduction and rundown of how weddings typically go there, we booked right away. I'm sure glad we did! The months before our wedding, we met multiple times with Kacey - who proved to be the best coordinator for us. She ensured our day would be perfect by calling all our vendors, ordering swatches of napkins for us to choose from, digging through the alcohol agreements to determine if they carried a specific beer we wanted at our reception, gave us a complete walk through before the rehearsal, allowed all our family members to come view the space before the wedding and even helped us create a custom cocktail (and cute name!) for our reception! I can't even stress how amazing she and her staff are. Wedding night : normally pretty stressful for any bride, but not me! The tables were set up perfectly (per a picture I had given her of what we wanted our centerpieces to look like), our cake table looked fabulous, and had her staff perfectly time my entrance. Her staff made sure our buffet was perfect, salads brought to each table, drinks poured strongly and consistently, and made the evening seamless. I could easily spend my entire review talking about Kacey and her staff, but there are other elements that make this venue unique and perfect for any wedding:SPACE ITSELF: Large and spacious, open and airy, very modern yet classic = all the pieces we were looking for! Our ceremony was held outside, followed by dinner and dancing inside - with use of the patio at night! The white lights strung outside and fireplace lit, made the outside space feel cozy and warm, while the dim lights, candles and AC made the inside perfect for dancing the night away. Being on the 3rd floor, the Curtis Ballroom offers a perfect "downtown" feel without having to actually be downtown - which we loved. Also, we had use of the entire space (including the comedy works club and 2 restaurants) for pictures and gathering before the wedding! PRICES: Insanely reasonable for the area of town and everything we got. 100 guests + food (which was outstanding) + booze (their wells liquors are most bars "calls) + ceremony + 12 staff members + Kasey's coordination = all under $10,000. I was shocked - and tipped well because everything was amazing!I would highly recommend The Curtis Ballroom, their catering, and staff to any bride looking for the perfect spot for a wedding and reception! Thank you again for an unforgettable night! :)"

Denver Beer

★★★★☆ 4.1 (702) • $$

"Was exploring the area and came across the brewery!Drinks:-there were only drinks, no food. I don't know if it was just the time of day we were there or if it's usually like this-options/types of beer weren't too many so was a little bummed about that, but still got a flight!Ambiance:-very big and open! Longggg tables to sit at and was really nice in the outdoor area tooWouldn't mind coming back if in the area and probably would just try a beer and stick to it."

Texas de Brazil

★★★★☆ 3.8 (704) • $$$

"First time here! Restaurant was very nice with lots of decorations and seating. Restaurant was packed on a Friday night. Salad bar has a variety of options from salad fixings, soups, veggies, charcuterie board type items, etc. The green light/red light card system for getting meats was fun. Once you change your card to green, be prepared to be served. It was a little hard to know what some of the meats were and what you might like but the staff were very kind and happy to tell you. There was never any issue with turning away some of the meats in case you only want filet mignon or something specific.You are definitely paying for the experience , so probably won't be back for awhile unless there is a special occasion."
