    New spot on Colfax has a spacious interior, friendly staff, plenty of seats for remote working and free wifi. They have a cool section with arcade games which is fun. I will say parking is a challenge and somehow I found street parking. It is Colfax so know what to expect with that. I would recommend carpooling with your friends vs a meet-up. Dragonfruit lager was delicious! I am typically a dark beer person but was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of this lager. Sweet but not too sweet. Their description of the drink within the menu was spot on.

    I'd give this new location maybe a 4.5 but 5 will do for now. Points off for kind of tricky parking (some areas around the corner are blocked off at the moment, there was a truly foul garbage smell on the side of the building, and inside the hops smell was kind of unpleasant as well). Other than those little demerits, this new space is huge, clean, and enticing. Also their drink menu is HUGE with their own brews and guest brews. I don't remember the other location's menu being this large. I tried a few samples of their sours and ended up with the BOP (All the Berries) which was actually a lot sweeter than most sours, though that was fine by me (I'd rather sweet/tart, than bitter or hoppy). The beertender (didn't catch his name) was very friendly and let us try a few samples before picking our beer. Prices were generally fair as well and there were a variety of sizes to choose from. Had a nice experience and would come back here with more friends.

    A great brewery with a wide selection of beers and drinks. The sours are delicious, as a non beer drinker I was very happy with the options. They do samples which is quite nice! The bartender was very kind and happy to give recommendations. Ordered the lavender lemonade seltzer and was blown away! I don't love seltzers because most of them have a lot of carbonation, but this one was incredible when it came to both the carbonation and the taste (I got two rounds of the same drink!) The layout is spacious and the decor is very cute, the music was also great! They are also dog friendly, which is a nice plus for dog owners.

    So freakin excited that Cerebral opened this new location, on Colfax--ITS HUGE! Beautiful building, amazing beers, and always the best service! They have a few arcade games and a large indoor area--no outdoor and parking can be interesting--I mean, it's Colfax! Food trucks come as well!

    Cerabral never disappoints!! Beer selection was amazing!! Tried the All Love, No Hate hazy IPA w/ Guava and OMG! It was delicious!Heard about the new location and had to check it out! Tons of indoor seating, super clean and spacious. Staff was very friendly and you just feel very comfortable here! Food truck was also parked right outside for a quick bite! 10/10

    For my non alcohol enjoying friends they have Root Beer on tap! Delicious!

    Great place to grab drinks with friends. They have tons of seating. The service was great as well. Dogs are welcomed!

    I came to this location because it was down the street from another brewery I wanted to try. I loved the murals on the outside and I loved the decor of the taproom. The bartender was welcoming and I ordered a flight of four beers. Three out of four hit the spot. That smoked helles lager was wonderful. A good visit overall.

Cheluna Brewing is located inside of Aurora's crown jewel, Stanley Marketplace. They're situated indoors near the west entrance in between Stanley Beer Hall and Sweet Cow. Owned by a lovely husband and wife duo, this place has become a fixture of Stanley Marketplace over the years. One of the best parts is that you can take your beer outdoors or even roam around the rest of the market with it. In turn, I think this what the only "downside" of Cheluna is; the fact that I've never sat inside the tasting room for a beer. It always feel a bit transactional because we take our beers and run, if you will. My go to's are the kolsch, cold IPA (GABF silver), and Mexican lager. The latter they serve with a lime and it's delightful. I'm really glad Cheluna is still kicking after a damn near decade in operation. They're definitely one of the most consistent options in the entire market. Support family owned spots, especially breweries, they need us right now!

I brought my son and a family member to Waldo's one Saturday evening. No line to order food, but the bar was full, so we ordered and were seated right away. Things we liked: The mac & cheese was the best thing on the table. Tasty with good texture and plenty of cheese both in the sauce and melted on top. Kiddo reports that the tenders were great and the fries "ok." He cleaned up the former. I appreciate the beer selection. They have some solid local brews to go with the corporate swill. Everyone wins. I enjoyed my Avery Maharaja. They have plenty of TVs if that's what you are into. Service was patient, prompt, and courteous when ordering food. Not so thrilled: Adults were disappointed in the bone-in fried chicken. It's why we came to Stapleton for dinner. Oily and overcooked, one piece each was too much. It was closer to a TV dinner than a place like Tom's Home Cookin (RIP). I know this is a chain, but the quality and taste were not up to par. Noise was suited for a sports bar environment, but wasn't unbearable. Beer and food are ordered in separate locations. I stood where it says to order, then waited 10 minutes to be served. One person ahead of me, two struggling behind the bar, which was full and getting all the attention. My son came looking for me. It's their model. I just don't like it. Waldo's offers good beer, decent tenders/sides, and an upbeat vibe. It's hard to not rate it better, but the fried chicken was a huge letdown. I'd go back for a beer and snack if in the area again with watching sports on the brain.

From the customer service and environment to the food and whiskey selection, I'm always impressed at how high quality of a long standing institution this is in Denver.

I have been coming here since I was a kid and back then the place was packed with orange T-shirts and full of smoke. Fans would wield Bloody Mary's and cheer on the Broncos with Craig Morton at the helm. Now it is more refined and smoke free, but still a great place to enjoy sports. The classic Eggs Benedict has always been my favorite and what I get just about every time. You can't go wrong! In my younger days I would toss back a couple bloody Mary's but times change and now I mostly get Corvus Cold Brew, both drinks are solid choices. If you haven't been here you need to visit. Eat some food, cheer on your favorite team, and hit Target on the way home! BTW, Target is another Glendale anchor! Cheers, my friends!

I grew up in this neighborhood and Christian took the reigns and turned it into a place that you can call "my bar." This is what happens when a dive bar hooks up with a neighborhood bar and has a kid that makes it a habit of being insolent. Bonus - it's a Philly Bar. Another bonus - the merch is HILARIOUS. Third bonus - there's a neon sign telling you to not do coke in the bathroom. Fourth bonus - Karaoke Fridays. Fifth bonus: Live and loud music on the patio when the weather is nice. Seriously, I'd rather spend time in this bar than some vapid, IG worthy, over priced, douche canoe hangout in RINO with equally vapid and fake clientele.

They also have a big back patio that's awesome in warm weather -- I've seen BBQs, live music, food trucks, and even stand-up out there. It's one of those places where something cool is always happening. If you're looking for a laid-back Denver bar with personality -- and free comedy on Sundays -- this is it.
