Well my friend and I came downtown for a weekend and wanted to see how the bars changed since our…read morelast time downtown. Over the years we have been trying other places because downtown got so dangerous to walk at night. Wanted to check out this place and we were lucky to get the bartender to actually get up from the chair she was sitting at. There was no one in the bar on Friday nite, should have said it all. We ordered 1 drink paid the over price amount and went on our way to the next spot. Ambiance was a hotel lobby or at least that's what it looked like.

Nice little hotel bar. The bartender was a nice guy. Pretty straightforward, unfortunately no…read morecocktail list but that was ok for me.

Like most hotel bars, the drinks and food can be expensive, but the bartenders are on point with the cocktails. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks were good, the Negronis were very crushable, as was its bourbon cousin, the Boulevardier. The shrimp appetizer that my wife ordered was also very good, and a nice starter before we had dinner at the English Pub. It's a good spot to experience sunsets as you knock back a drink or two, or watch the night sky, so long as it's not overcast or raining. If you look closely towards the ceiling-length windows, you can see the Denver skyline in the distance in front of the Rockies that dominate the landscape from afar.

The bar is absolutely breathtaking. It's massive, beautifully designed, and offers multiple seating…read moreoptions, making it easy to find the perfect spot to relax. This is definitely where you want to be at sunset. The floor-to-ceiling wall of windows creates a stunning backdrop for Embers Lodge and elevates the entire atmosphere. We stopped in for drinks several times during our weeklong stay at the Gaylord Resort, and each visit was just as enjoyable as the last. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone staying at or visiting the resort.

We started with good martinis at the bar during happy hour. The Pens game was on the big TV right in front of us, so we ate there. Dinner was the excellent scallop entree and a nice bottle of California Chardonnay. Service by the bartender was perfect. So, not all hotel restaurants are poor.

High quality beer. Great location. Superb beertenders…read more This large facility is a second location, and expanded brewing operation. It smells heavenly. The tap room is clean and modern, and offers games as well. On my visit, it was dog friendly. Love the serious inclusive messaging! Ordered a flight, then a 10 oz pour for a variety of flavor. Enjoyed interacting with patrons and my companion in a local award winning establishment.

Some breweries chase trends. Cerebral Brewing quietly out-thinks them…read more Located in the Bluebird District along Colfax, Cerebral is what happens when scientific precision meets genuine creativity~and then invites the neighborhood in to drink with it. The space strikes that perfect balance: modern but warm, intentional without being pretentious. High ceilings, soft lighting, barrels tucked into corners, clean lines behind the bar, and enough room to actually settle in (inside and out). The beer program is where Cerebral really flexes. Flights span an impressive range~clean lagers, expressive saisons, juicy IPAs, thoughtful stouts, and beautifully nuanced wild ales. Nothing feels rushed or gimmicky; every pour feels deliberate. You can taste the technical care, but also the artistic risk-taking. This is a brewery that respects process and imagination. Service? Genuinely top-tier. Not just friendly, but engaged. I ended up sitting down, chopping it up with the brewer and locals alike~no ego, no rush, just real conversation and shared appreciation for good beer. That kind of interaction is rare and says a lot about the culture here. Cerebral doesn't just pour beer~it creates an experience rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and community. Whether you're dissecting a flight or just vibing with a single pour, this place earns its reputation. Come thirsty. Leave smarter. Return often.

We ended up going back twice, which pretty much says it all. Right off the bat, the person seating us was friendly and quick to acknowledge us, which we appreciated. That said, they could definitely use 1 to 2 more people up front. There's was only one person both days (at least at the beginning of the crowd) managing a lot of tables, so there was a bit of a delay getting seated because they were constantly running back and forth. We went both days right as the crowd was starting, and once seated, everything ran super smoothly. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I wish I could remember our first server's name. He was from CA and was fantastic. Really attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and everything was genuinely delicious. It's rare for us to go back to the same place twice on a trip, but this one earned it. Great sports bar atmosphere, plenty of seating, including outdoor seating, and it would work well for pretty much any sized group. I Highly recommend this spot if you're staying at the Gaylord Rockies or nearby.
