It's hard to believe Cheluna is about to celebrate their 10th birthday next year! They are…read moreincredibly consistent at making great beer and creating a community oriented atmosphere. 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!

When I first heard of Waldo's, my heart sped up. Fried chicken and quality beer are among my…read morefavorite things (in moderation). Both? Let's go. 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.

We also celebrated with some pickle shots. The atmosphere is fun with mostly locals in the bar who are all friendly and dancing to the music.

It would have been preferable for the server to be more attentive to our needs. We anticipated a lively ambiance with sports being played on the TVs around the bar, given that it's a sports bar.

Their Old Fashioned is made with Buffalo Trace and was fantastic! Food is also good here. I enjoyed the Elk and Jalapeño brat while sipping on a refreshing Porter. You order and pickup your drinks and food here, so don't sit down and wait on staff. Parking is plentiful, but can fill up if the beer garden has a lot of visitors. If you do sit outside, the Wings Over the Rockies museum is right next door, with a few static displays out front.
