We also got the wing and cheese curd combo with Ranch and spicy aioli. Buffalo style. Great flavor. Decent portion size. We loved the feel of the old Saloon. The original business dates back to the 1859 and at one point housed an indoor pool. Also loved seeing everyone's dog on the patio. Great place to eat.

July 30, 2026 - Golden CO…read more From our table on the shaded, dog-friendly patio, we had a perfect view of the iconic "Howdy Folks!" arch over Washington Avenue, making it a fun place to relax and people-watch. We each enjoyed a glass of La Crema Chardonnay ($13) and shared the Three Amigos appetizer ($13), which comes with tortilla chips, house queso, guacamole, and roasted tomato-jalapeño salsa, along with the Corn and Butternut Enchiladas ($17). At first, I thought the house queso was a little too spicy for my taste, but it quickly grew on me--I couldn't stop dipping chips into it! It was rich, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The guacamole and salsa were also fresh and tasty. The Corn and Butternut Enchiladas were good, though not quite as memorable. I ordered mine with regular cheese instead of the vegan option. The patio was comfortable, and the location made for an enjoyable lunch stop. Just be aware that Washington Avenue is busy, so there is plenty of traffic noise. Overall, we'd stop here again.

Being a fairly new Colorado resident (is it still new if I've been here almost 9 months?) I have…read morenever actually been to Golden. A visit to the State Room's grand opening this afternoon brought me on over and I am not mad at it! I absolutely love the old mountain town feel of Golden and the State Room is RIGHT in the heart of it. Find the buffalo on Washington St. and the sign that welcomes you into the city and you'll find yourself right in front of Buffalo Rose, a music venue that has been completely renovated and seriously revitalized. The building itself was built in the 20's, so this place is just steeped in history, but the decor in The State Room is cozy and inviting with large, leather armchairs and a fireplace, but also chic with ultra cool and modern light fixtures and a bit of that exposed brick that I've grown to love in the Denver area. The State Room is the bar that lives right upstairs leading to a great balcony view of the stage. Beer is served downstairs, but come upstairs for some fantastic cocktails featuring State 38 Distilling's local spirits. Mitch made me a very tasty Old Fashioned which I'm pretty sure is my new go-to if my fave whiskey mule isn't available. Now that I've been introduced to Golden, I will be making my way over more often to explore and a drink at The State Room may just be my first stop - I have my eye on that smoking Old Fashioned for next time. Ps. check their daily happy hour drink specials for some of their popular cocktails starting at $5.

We walked into this bar around 4 pm and we were immediately told that we could not bring our bottled water in with us due to their liquor license. We sat down and asked for a drink menu and we were told they had a few listed but nothing else. The restaurant was pretty empty, so we pushed 2 tables together as there weren't any other table options for 6 near the bar. We were then told that we could not push tables together and that we would have to be moved when the band starts to play. There were no other people within 10 feet of us. The service was absolutely atrocious. This bar needs to figure out customer service if they want to survive in this economic market.

We were looking for a quick bite in Golden and unfortunately ended up at Miners Saloon. After seating ourselves, our server took his sweet time making his way over. We ordered the charcuterie board and the whipped ricotta, the former wildly overpriced. The charcuterie board was fine, nothing to write home about. The ricotta, though, was missing in action (we never got it), just like our server, who never once checked on us after taking our order. I think he said maybe three words to us the entire time we were there. We left hungry, frustrated, and disappointed by the service (or lack thereof).
