Second Dawn Brewing

Is Aurora... cute? Developing a community? I am so excited for the way that second dawn is serving as a third place for Aurora. They have games, coffee, beer- what more could you need? I asked for a decaf chai, which they sadly did not have, but instead our server offered a cardamom decaf latte, which was fabulous, just the perfect amount of sweetness. Every beer we had was stellar- loved the vanilla latte cream ale, which tasted like just enough of coffee but was light- just perfect. Short stack was also great- very sweet, with a strong maple syrup taste. The house party was good with its citrus heavy flavor mixed with the hoppiness. Our absolutely favorite was the Tripel though- the banana candy flavor shown through, but was really nicely balanced and not too sweet. Decor was super cute, and loved the selection of board games and colored pencils, plus they had a Nintendo 64 in the back lounge. All in all, one of my favorite breweries AND favorite coffee shops in Denver. You should definitely visit.

I am loving this spot for neighborhood coffee from Mishap, and to get some work done! I've come here a few mornings over the past couple of weeks for a latte and to work. There are always tables open, and other professionals working away. I even saw someone set up a portable double monitor which was impressive. The vibe is just, perfection. The decor, the plants, the volume of the music, the acoustics, it's my new favorite spot to head to if I have something I need to get done in a space where I can focus.I'll admit I haven't actually tried any beer / food / or non-alcoholic options, but I will soon. Everything sounds amazing. The only thing I would note before you run out to Second Dawn is that they're closed Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm so grateful for this spot in the neighborhood!

Super cute. Good beer and good vibes, it's very laid back and chill inside. Ample parking as well.

COFFEE!! Second Dawn just added Mishap Coffee in the mornings, and it is awesome. Coffee was delicious and there are plenty of great seating options to hang out, visit with a friend, or get some work done.

I've been here one other time and the beer was good but something was lacking this time. My partner and I shared a flight of beers and seltzers, and every single one left us wanting more flavor. For lack of better words, it was all bland and tasted watered down. The space is cute and there are games to play, and the service is good but the beer is just lacking the flavor I typically expect in a beer.

Great for morning coffee & afternoon pizza & beer. The noise level is moderate, the service friendly. There is ample space with many good tables & couches for comfortable seating. A big plus is the availability of off street & on street parking. If this is your neighborhood or you are in the neighborhood drop in for a look see cup of coffee or glass of beer.

This is another excellent addition to the NW Aurora neighborhood. Just block east of Stanley Marketplace, Second Dawn is worth a visit. I only had the Scottish Ale. It was excellent. If the other brews are made with the same excellence, then I am sure Second Dawn will have many days under the sun in Aurora. They have trivia nights, a handful of board games, clean facilities, food trucks, and a cozy atmosphere. The outdoor space is modest in size, but it would definitely be a great place to spend a cool summer evening.If you're looking for a place slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Stanley Marketplace, this is your spot.

Not far from the pricey chaos of the Stanley Marketplace, you'll find an oasis of chill at Second Dawn Brewing. This is a nice space--dog friendly, lots of varied seating options, and interesting decor. A welcoming vibe permeates the space. Beerkeep was friendly, efficient, and accommodating. The menu offered plenty of styles.I was happy to hear they pour flights to order and don't require a certain number of choices.My three selections were all over the place:Strata Hazy IPA--This was my first and by far the best. Its dank nose and soft mouthfeel suggest this place has a bright future.Imperial Stout--This packs a punch, but was average in every way. It needs some dialing in.Wit Bier--I'm not sure if the bartender poured the wrong style, but this was a miss, tasting nothing like a typical wit, more like a corn-based lager.Overall, the space beckons anyone who'd like to enjoy him/herself over beer in a setting tailor made for a good time. No brewery opens at 100% and the brews could use some dialing in, but a visit now should leave you smiling. 3.5 stars for now.

Went here on 9/23/23. First time here. They have beer, seltzer and NA drinks. If I remember right, most their beers with on the lighter colored side. I don't remember seeing any dark beers that day. Decent size patio. A lot of tables inside. A few couches. My son was able to play in the corner. Bartenders were very friendly. Looks like they Can most of their beer and you can buy Crowlers. We tried the Golden Lager and Cashmere Hazy IPA. Pretty good beers. I would want to try more. Looks like they do have a small parking lot. If you're not in the mood for Stanley Marketplace come here. Cheers!

So excited to check out this new brewery! The hard seltzer was very tasty! It was light and refreshing, like a not-too-sugary lemonade. Perfect on a warm spring day. My husband had the wit bier, and said it was good. Staff was friendly, and I love that this place is dog friendly. Our pup enjoyed plenty of water and treats. The space is pretty big, and I like the way it's decorated (a sort of colorful, industrial chic). There's plenty of seating, including comfy, velvet chairs and couches.
