Trailhead Taphouse & Kitchen

Honestly, I was so impressed by this spot, I can't believe it took me so long to find it. It's not a high-end atmosphere, it's a chill bar and patio vibe that happens to serve absolutely slamming cajun food and has a handful of TVs for watching sports if you want. Great beer selection, chill vibes, great cajun foodAbsolutely an every-week type spot, and you should definitely try it for yourself

My group of friends needed a place to watch a football game on Saturday night, and this place fit the bill. There were a few TVs, and we got them to change the channel on the TV above our table to the one we wanted.We got some truffle fries and boneless wings to start. The wings were a lot better than I thought they would be, but they were a bit pricey. I got the chicken sandwich with Cajun fries. The sandwich was a little thinner than I expected, but the fries were very good. You do have to pay to upgrade from chips to fries, which was annoying. This place had a good amount of seating and could seat a large group. I do think it is overpriced, but the food was good.

Casual dining, scrumptious food and after a day of hiking a cool beer and hard cider made it a complete 10/10!Downtown Golden Colorado has lots of places to choose from for dining and we picked one of the best! Friendly, fast service reasonable prices, mystery beer deals on Thursday. What more could you want?The menu has clever wording to describe the options for food. We got a Mountain Fig Pizza. Delightful flavors to the palette! Yes, I will be frequenting this restaurant again, as should you! The beer and ciders are cold and go down easy on a hot day!

We chose this place on a whim because it looked fun and smelled good. We also wanted some local beer and this place delivered exactly what we were looking for. It's cute inside and out, and the service was all around great.Delicious beer and totally scrumptious food! I loved the Storm Peak Maestro West Coast IPA and practically licked the salad bowl clean and devoured the sweet potato fries. Definitely a wise choice if you're in Golden!

Went for a great hike at red rocks this morning and wanted to grab a beer in Golden so we parked, walked around and happened upon this place. It's super cute, great service, friendly staff and food was delicious. The cheese curds are amazing!! For lunch I had the CBR pizza on a GF crust and it was delicious! My husband had the Cajun Chicken sandwich, equally as good with fresh cut chips. We had the pleasure of being served by Cameron and Val who told us they are both new and we would've never known it. They were awesome to chat with and made some great recommendations. Would definitely recommend to anyone stopping through! Such a cute part of town with great local shopping options nearby too.

The nacho brisket was dry and burnt not just the meat but my nachos came out burnt and the only thing good was the cheese under the chips. Which isn't good enough to get the dry burnt taste outta your mouth. Reading other reviews doesn't look like any of the other choices would have been great. The beer is okay but the service is lacking.

Surprisingly good burgers! We stopped in for lunch and I was initially intrigued by their Cajun food, but - after doing some due diligence (checking photos on Yelp) - I decided to stick with a burger. Everyone in my party got a burger (Sangre de Cristos and a Black & Blue), and everyone commented how good they were! There was a good cheese-burger-bun ratio and the hamburgers were cooked as ordered, which doesn't always happen. The chips were homemade...but meh. They could have been good too, but they were overcooked -- super brown and dry! But all in all, this was a solid bar food spot!

The food was okay. The wings and muffuletta sandwich were dry though! They also ran out of mac and cheese and sweet potato fries before 5:15pm on a Sunday lol.

Elk green chili burger with truffle fries? Yes please! I had been here before and enjoyed the tap house and nice selection of Colorado beers, but I don't know if I had eaten there before. Amanda gave us excellent service and we split a Sangre De Cristo (green chili) burger that we upgraded to elk for $3 more. I ordered it medium rare because I didn't want to risk it drying out. It was probably more medium but it was still excellent--not too dry and not too gamey (but a little bit gamey or else why order game?) We mentioned that we were going to split it and they served it to us already cut and on two plates! An excellent service touch. The fries were crispy and the potato flavor wasn't missing.

Horribly understaffed. One server for both bar and all restaurant tables when we arrived. Took over an hour before our food order was even taken. Needless to say, by that time both our kids had lost patience, and what should have been a nice family lunch was ruined. Also, what happened to the kids games and activities that used to be offered? No longer a family friendly place. Rated 2 stars for food/beer even though I had to take mine to go, and husband's order was wrong.
