    A stand cleansing smell inside, but friendly service. Love the periodic table for beers! Friendly service and lovely outdoor seating

    Lotus IPA and Blueberry Kolsch, outdoor patio

    Came in late on a Tuesday afternoon. Maybe 20-25 people here. Service excellent including a couple of tasters to dial in on right beer. We selected the Lotus IPA and Blueberry Kolsch. Great, low key vibe, like the outdoor patio and pizza food truck. Solid experience.

    Neat little place. We loved that they had a food truck! The outside patio is really enjoyable here. The staff are very friendly! Oh and the beer is great too! It's busy for a reason!

    Spacious cool brewery in Golden with a very nice patio area. There is always a food truck out back as well. They don't have any other drink options besides one kombucha flavor. Very dog friendly and shaded areas. Good service as well.

    Mountain Toad Brewing. Already sold on the name alone and the giant murals of toads drinking beer. Can I adopt said toad as a house pet?! Really solid brewery in the heart of Golden. Small taproom, spacious patio, and all the beers I've sampled after two visits have been tasty. Specifically the Golden Lotus (Hazy Pale) and Mt. Zion (Flagship IPA). This was one of my last stops prior to COVID-19. It was interesting to see the change this past weekend. The taproom has implemented updates to keep their tables socially distanced, requiring folks to wear facial coverings until seated, and tons of hand sanitizer all around. The patio is the real seller here. Whether a hot afternoon or a cool summer night. I'd assume they typically have food trucks and/or live music if it weren't for the current environment. However, the beers stand alone and are worth venturing to the brewery regardless. Cheggitout!

    Really enjoyed the patio -- ample seating and shade. Delicious ginger kombucha and liked the prickly pear gose as well.

    Cool little brewery. Love the artwork. They had outdoor seating but it was raining hard so everyone hunkered down inside and it got pretty crowded. Good beer selection. Golden lotus was pretty tasty.

Their expansive patio has great views of North Table Mountain to the west and a sports complex to the south. Their large interior was packed on a late Wednesday afternoon. The bartenders were very pleasant, and they came out to the patio to give our 15 week old husky mix puppy pets and treats. The house made beers were top notch. There was a food truck serving Turkish doner kebabs that were really delicious. We'll happily return to this excellent establishment the next time the winds blow us to Golden.

    We've been here a handful of times. The outside area is huge. However, the inside isn't, so if it's…read morebusy, as it was on this chilly Sunday afternoon, seats are hard to come by. We ended up finding two seats adjacent to a larger group. Aside from a lack of seating, the other drawback is no TVs in the main room, so if you're wanting to watch anything (such as the NFL playoffs on this day) you're out of luck. On the bright side, they had a great beer selection...five different malts, so we started with a flight. In order of preference: * Maple bourbon pecan brown * Tmave pivo dark Czech lager * Up and about mocha stout * Black planet imperial porter * Rambler American amber One note, if what we got was actually the Rambler, it's the worst amber we've ever had. It tasted more like an IPA, which we both hate, than an Amber. Didn't care for this one at all. After finishing the flight, we each had a Czech lager followed by the pecan brown. The more of the lager I drank, the less I liked it. It was fine, but not sure I'd get it again. All in all, cool place with good beer. Especially on a nice day where you can sit outside.

On…read morefirst glance, it is located right along the river that goes through the town, which is an amazing view. Once inside there is a first floor that has a few different food options as well as the pour your own beer options as well. In order to partake in the beer option, you need to get a card that you can tap to the machine and you pay per the ounce. They have other drinks beside beer on tap as well such as different types of cocktails. They have a great food selection. That includes many different varieties of food throughout the venue as well. The top floor also has a few additional beer options as well as food options. I decided to go with a barbecue option which I got a brisket sandwich which was really good as well as a side of fries and some of the barbecue sauce. I also got a beer on top from one of the local breweries. It was a chilly day out, but I still wanted to sit on the patio on the top deck, so we sat by a fireplace. They have a ton of different fireplaces, all throughout the top deck as well as the lower deck as well so sitting outside was an option for the time of the year that I was there which was March. Maybe in the dead of the winter they don't have this option but just keep that in mind. Anyways, I thought the view of the course brewery factory right across the way was really cool to see as well. The food was really good and I love getting beer by the ounce because if you don't like the beer, you can just get a different one and you don't have to make a whole glass pour every time you get one. I definitely would recommend the golden mill. It definitely seems like a place that a lot of locals hang out and there is a food or beverage option for everyone so even picky eaters would love this place. If you are in Golden, you have to visit!

    This is a real toss up for me. We were with a visitor who had been there when in Golden for a…read moreconference and thought we would like the concept of a food hall and like the sort of food she had there in the past. I am familiar with food halls at home in Boulder that I like and frequent regularly. This was nothing like them in so many ways. It was obvious that this is lived locally but in a holiday it was so ham packed that it was unpleasant for a newcomer to negotiate. Yes, for beer lovers the concept of self serve from the many taps and pay by the ounce Baxter so many in stock is novel, but I don't drink beer or margaritas and I could not find a simple ice tea. There were sodas from a machine which also did not suit me either. The concept of the scan card seems good for the cafeteria atmosphere and the beer supply but the food places did take credit cards, where at least you see the receipt etc. you leave the card in a box when you leave and they charge the credit card you entered to get it. No real review apparently by the customer. Most of the food I saw in menus and the tables were not my style either, huge portions of mediocre looking food. My husband had trouble figuring it part of the ingredient in the biggest burrito I have ever seen. He could not pick it up fore the crema decorating the tortilla which was thicker than any I've ever seen. On the other hand, my food was fairly good though grease dripped out at every bite. It was a Gordita made with crisp little corn cakes and the al pastor filling was tasty. The others in the group all had large portions of unappealing to me food so I did not taste and far too. Big for a healthy lunch. While we were eating at compared communal tables , the restrooms across from them were propped open for the steady stream of users. But on a holiday weekend a prime lunch time when we arrived, it was the only option. The entry line to get the pay card was nearby and the line went up the stairs to the entry with at least 20 to get and register the card, many with children in tow. Our guest knew where to park so that was no problem jf you are willing to pay to park for a meal. We were, but would have lived a quality meal and not a madhouse. The only staff person I spoke with because her food was dessert and not peak season for ice cream was so friendly and helpful and mad a custom snack size of her New Zeland style treat. She saved the day for me. I will not return but others in our party might should the occasion arise and clearly the locals who are regulars keep them well supported. I will stick with my local more intimate and curated food hall kitchens.

    Steve and I have had a very good beer experience with Over Yonder Brewing!…read moreWe had two different beers from this brewery that we really enjoyed! The first we went from a dark beer to a light beer which I know is out of the proper order but that is just how it shook out. We had the Coco Firenze which was a coconut porter. Very smooth with saltiness and bitterness involved... of course with coconut being the main character trait for this beer. I do like my dark beers on rainy days and this enjoying this one was timed just right as we were getting plenty of rain fall from where I was! The next beer was OYB Pilsner. This was a delightful Czech Pilsner that had a light, crisp and hoppy flavor to it. Perfect to enjoy over the supper time meal. I have reached the point in my beer drinking experiences that I can easily have lagers and pilsners all year around regardless of the season. I used to be much more particular about matching the beer for the season but these crisp pilsners go down easy all the time and that's what I desire mostly recently.

There were lots of people, a makers market, lots of tie dye, a fun/funky mural on the wall, a beautiful space with lots of seating, and a bunch of phish fans (very conveniently located near red rocks). The beers were great - with the standout being the dark space between - which they were pouring the 2022, 2023, and 2024 versions of (it's a bourbon barrel aged stout that they change up each year). They were outstanding. Bummed to hear they are closing, however, very happy to get here, and experience it, before they did. Best of luck - hoping to hear you open something else in future!

Flats Beer Garden is the closest thing to this phenomenon in the year 2026. I've driven by dozens of times. Always saying to myself, "I should check it out sometime." Perched proud and lonely on highway 93 with no other businesses in sight, Flats Beer Garden is the portal to a transcendiary experience. A home away from home if you will. Some will read my praise and not understand. They will see nothing more than a dive. To you I say, "more for me, thank you very much." Beer bar first and foremost. Tons of Colorado beers for your heart's delight. Sizeable food menu. Good wings at a good price. Full bar available. Mostly pub grub. Indoors is cozy with multiple rooms, a fireplace, bar seating, high tops, and tables. The selling point? The outdoor patio. No hesitation. One of the largest patios you'll find with seating for hundreds. The views of the mountains are simply wonderful. Nothing better than taking a beer outside and staring at our beautiful state. Staff was excellent. I must've interacted with five different bartenders and servers during my time here. All friendly, all helpful, and all too fun to talk with. Apres ski? Post hike? This is the place you want to mosey up to the bar. For those seeking out views after seeking out views, Flats Beer Garden is the quintessential Colorado watering hole. I'll be back time and time again.
