    Still my favorite spot to grab a beer in Colorado! Curated local selection that's always rotating, friendly service, love the additions of the ski gondolas for seating. Great merch selection too!

    Cool spot, you can bring you dog and it will be treated well. The bartender last night for a bday celebration was amazing (Matt). We will go back to hang out on their great patio. The beer is top notch

    Absolutley love Max Taps! The owners are so friendly and down to earth, excellent and knowledgeable on all the beer on tap, super fun and a great atmosphere! We always have a great time when we come!

    Where it happens

    All that walking at IKEA calls for beers. My group of CO friends love this place so of course we winded up here. This spot reminds me of the breweries I frequented in my hometown of Loudoun County, VA so if felt like being back home. I dig the Colorado breweries-only vibe since you have to represent. Beers of course are excellent. I loved the Graham Cracker Porter. The beer combined with sitting outside in the tent next to the heater gave that campfire feels you can only get in Colorado. No wonder people want to move to this state! The place is dog friendly and they also serves wine, ciders, and some mixed drinks if you don't like beer. I read this place is named after the owners' dog Max who passed. He would be very proud of this place!

    It's open for business with social distancing with limited seating but also has outdoor patio. It is clean and airy and spacious. Has bunch of rotating taps and had all of my liking from sour to hazy and dipa. Today's visit had food truck at the front!

    Google "on the hook" for their schedule.

    So On The Hook and Max Taps are some smart cookies. Fish and chips and beer. Definitely go together. When i usually go to this food truck it's normally in a strip mall that you have to buy and take home. At least this location you have the option to eat your meal hot a beer or two. The employees of Max Taps are friendly and accommodating. If I lived closer it would definitely be dangerous for me. Haha. But I'll come on the occasionally fish and chips day for sure.

    Great beer with my amazing dog Josie.

    What a great group that works here. Excellent beer too. Waiting on one of the food trucks they have almost daily.

    While I totally dig the concept of this place (taproom featuring all local brews, wines and liquor!), I found myself completely underwhelmed by this place. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something felt off. PRO's: + Nice patio for spring and summer days! + Impressive selection of brews/wines/liquors. + Food trucks parked outside! + Location is prime! CON's: - Atmosphere was kind of awkward, jammed full of people, super loud and kind of boring. - Staff seems bombarded and overwhelmed. - Seating isn't really that ample, so a lot people were just standing around. - Minimal decor/style Maybe it was me, or just an off day. Either way, I"ll try again, to give it a fair shot.

    Mini flight to get started.

    Yelp's weekly suggestions are some spot-on and timely. Had it not been for one of them I recently…read morereceived, I don't think I would discover this hidden bar. Its overall chicness in a spacious lounge-style room immediately cooled me down once I arrived (on the day I visited after work, the temperature outside was soaring in upper 80's.) The time was around 4:45pm. If I am not mistaken, their happy hour is 3-5pm. I thought I was in the middle of the HH rush but there were still plenty of seatings available and yet the place was nowhere near empty. And yet, I found just the right spot so I would be away from all the chatters emitting from the people mainly sat at the bar. The selections for wine (red and white) as well as the tap beers are quite the variety. During the HH time, the drinks are only $5 for beer on tap, well mules, wells spirits and any wine on tap. For a chic/elegant/upscale place such as this place, this pricing offer is extremely generous. I simply couldn't think of anything other than refreshing cold white wine so after getting a little suggestion from my wonderful waiter, I went with the Angeline Sauvignon Blanc (the regular price is $12 so I saved $7.) As much as I am a wine person, I don't go by the rigid rules. White win should generally be served between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) and yet at home I chill my (white) wine in the freezer for a bit so it will be super cold. This is a must for me. And to my surprise, when they served me the Sauvignon Blanc it was pretty close to the super chill temperature I am used to. As if they read my mind, I was quite surprised and happy with the cold crisp white wine. It was a quick stop to have a little "after work" cocktail on the way home so I didn't get any food and yet that crisp chilled white wine I was served instantaneously made me a big fan of this cocktail lounge. When I asked my waiter when the place opened. He said it opened in 2019. I simply couldn't believe it. If it's been around for this long but the fact that I recently heard about it stunned me. And if I am not mistaken, the waiter said that another location is about to open in a different area in the Denver metro. It's nice to know that this business is thriving. Good for them.

    A good $5 happy hour! Yes please. Located within an apartment complex, Social Bar and lounge offers…read morea wide array of cocktails, wines, and beers. Happy Hour is everyday from 3-5pm. Drinks on HH are limited to wines and beers on tap as well as a single spirit with one mixer: not too shabby. The bartender was also our server and was very on top of things, checking in with us frequently. It's a very relaxing place with many seating options to choose from.

    I am very much a spa girly and this is one of the most unique spa experiences I have ever…read moreencountered. From the moment you enter the spa, it smells like pure relaxation. As lovely as the common area and patio are, it belies the relaxation that awaits in your private spa room. Before you are escorted to your room, you are offered your choice of locally made beer (My favorite was the "beer flavored beer", which tasted like.... Beer), as well as wine, kombucha, juice, or seltzer water. The drinks are served in a stainless steel insulated tumbler so you don't have to worry about breaks or spills. There are also complimentary snacks available including banana chips and an absolutely delicious savory trail mix. There's also a bathtub full of plastic "bubbles" (think 'grown-up ball pit', but a bathtub) in the common area which invites you to take your most Instagrammable shot. The spa even has a monthly competition for the best photo submission. I appreciate the intentionality with which this spa was designed. Truly they thought of (almost) everything: Hair ties, shower caps, hair dryers, plastic bags for wet clothes, their beer infused shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion offered both in the private room as well as in the common areas, a pitcher of water on the edge of the tub (Because one cannot live off of beer alone).... Even conversation cards containing thought provoking questions placed strategically throughout the facility (Even in your private infrared spa). This is not just an opportunity to relax, but to deepen connection. I came here with one of my friends and in addition to feeling infinitely more relaxed, I left here feeling like my friend and I got to know each other on a much more substantive and meaningful level as a result of this experience. Now before you ask... No, you are not soaking in a tub full of beer. (That was my initial concern, and I almost passed on visiting this spa because of said concern). Instead, you are soaking in a deep stainless steel soaking tub that is full of water and infused with your choice of herbs and aromatics. The room also comes with a CBD infused bath bomb, as well as a CBD and mushroom infused mud mask for extra relaxation and detoxification. The water temperature was absolutely perfect: Nice and steamy but not too hot. The soaking experience was simply not long enough... Which is not a slight to the staff or the facility at all. Just a testament to how relaxing the experience is. I could have stayed there soaking all day without a care in the world. Once we reached the end of our soaking experience, the tub started to automatically drain on its own. We used that time to shower, moisturize, and proceed to the next part of our spa experience... The massage room. The room is dark with small twinkling lights on the ceiling that kinda look like stars and the night sky. There are several zero-gravity massage chairs in the room, but do not be mistaken... These are NOT your run-of-the-mill nail salon pedicure spa chairs. These massage chairs mean business! Even on the lowest setting, my muscles were still sore for several days afterwards because that kneading function gets all up in those muscle fibers. Several times I found myself breathing through the massage like I was having contractions... Especially as those rollers made repeated passes over my lower back. It was definitely the most thorough and intense chair massage I have ever received. Each of the staff members we encountered was absolutely wonderful; Friendly and welcoming, answered all of our questions, gave us plenty of time to take pictures and video to capture the moment and really make the most of the spa experience. Our drinks were never empty and our every need was provided for. The only piece of feedback I have to offer is that it would be great if there were swimsuit dryer spinner on site. I was flying back home immediately after my spa experience and I had to bring my sopping wet swimsuit back with me. I double bagged it to make sure it didn't leak all over the place, but it would have been great to dry it out a bit before putting it back in my suitcase. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's likely the most unique spa experience you will ever have... Even if you are not a beer enthusiast.

    I don't know where to begin...but we were really excited to give this place a try and they blew our…read moreminds so much, we became members. We came here for a birthday celebration where we reserved a suite (all suites are private) with mimosas, charcuterie and 30 min massage. We were just recovering from a cold and didn't feel like consuming alcohol beverages at the time and asked what the can do for the mimosa kit. The front desk staff got a manager to see what they can do. He disappeared out the front and came back with a n/a champagne!!! We haven't even started yet and they were already going out and beyond. We were given sandales where we switched out of our outdoor shoes right at the front desk. They prepped our suite as we waited in the tap room. A beer spa therapist came out with 3 different herbs we could add to our hot soak. The herb concoctions had attributes like Calming, Energizing, a Muscle Relaxation. We got both energizing and muscle relaxation. Then we were then given a tour of the space ending the tour at our private suite. The room was sound proof, all you can hear is the waterfall tub splashing and spa music resonating the space. The lighting was super relaxing. The suite was decorated so nicely, you forget you're in a city. The floor was made of materials where you don't have to skate across or felt like you can slip. It was perfect! You get the suite for 90mins. We sat in the sauna, took a cold rain shower and then soaked in the hot tub. The herbs smelled great and made our skin nice and smooth. We bounced between cold shower and hot tub until it was time. The tub automatically began to drain at the 20 min mark so you have time to freshen up with a last good shower and begin to cool down. We then headed to the cooldown room where we waited about 10 mins to get escorted to our massage session. The staff set our massage chairs with light, medium or high intensity, provided blankets and left us in the starlit, woodsy, mountainy designed room. We floated our way out, grabbed a few products and signed up for a membership. We can't wait for next month!

There's thankfully parking in front and around the back in lots. One of the highlights is their charcuterie boards - we ordered one last time and it was packed full of goodies: meats, cheeses, cornichons, olives, nuts, fruit, etc. Really well thought out. We did consider coming back here recently for our friend's birthday but apparently if you try to make a reservation for over 6 people you have to PAY per person - that's a little ludicrous. I understand a party of 50 and charging some fee, but to charge for a small party is a way to not get party business. I would likely come back here as it is a nice central location and has a nice patio though.

    We stopped here just last night for a glass of wine after dinner at home. And the experience was…read morequite nice so I must write. The high top tables in the bar area were not cleared of the dirty dishes/plates etc. as the restaurant appeared to be understaffed at the time of our arrival. Hence, a young lady who greeted us upfront took us to the bar which we had issues with. We enjoyed looking at the menu for both food and drinks. Each side had selections of various kinds. Since we didn't need to eat, we turned our attention to the drink side where we noticed wine flights. Both red and white had had 4 different flights. And each flight comes with 3 varietals of wines. We both are more of red wine people. My daughter went with the Argentinian one; I went with the European Vacation. After comparing the two, our votes went to the European one. This definitely supersedes the South American wines in overall quality and tastes. Out of the 3 in the European one, the Spanish wine (Marques de Grinon, 'Caliza' 2020 vintage) stood out the most to us. After we had finished our flights my daughter ordered a full 6oz glass of it to fully immerse herself in the wonderful Espanol wine. The bartender, Jake, was peppy and pleasant to us. We felt bad though. He was busting his bottom to serve everyone in the bar area. Besides that young lady in the floor who occasionally came and went there was nobody else. Not sure if they were simply short staffed or they are always that way where they need to hire more staff, I hope the issue gets resolved soon. Hats off to Jake; no matter what, he was pleasant to everyone not forgetting to walk each one through the menu and promptly delivering their drinks once made.
