Nut buster burger challenge
Sara T.

Hidden Gem!!! This was our first time here and it is amazing! Awesome atmosphere, history and food. The staff is super friendly also. My husband did the Nut Buster Burger challenge. It is 4 patties, each with a dollop of peanut butter and 2 slices of bacon and a pound of fries! If you eat it in 30 minutes, it is free (regularly $26). This building is so fun and full of history and amazing decor. It has 2 full bars and a large patio. The inside is big with multiple pool tables and other games. They have bar seating, small and large tables and booths. They offer a large beer tap selection and a great menu featuring wings, pizza, burgers and bbq options. The Rock Rest Lodge is a new favorite!

For a place that looks like a total dive bar I had an amazing time. The price of the drinks were exceptional and the food was amazing for bar food. It has to be one of the best pizzas I've had in Colorado. The beef sliders are excellent. The nachos are amazing Hands-down definitely worth the drive. Highly recommend coming to this bar.

I consider myself pretty much a regular here great selection of food great barbecue great prices good service and you might see a little booty cuz the waitresses dress that way. Today I had the pep slab of barbecue ribs and I they're just delicious what can I say and I upgraded to onion rings for a dollar and I got coleslaw and a cornbread muffin with butter all for like 20 bucks and I have to take a lot of it home cuz there's plenty to go around. Another thing I like about it is that I can bring my dog inside with me don't be frightened away it probably has a reputation of being a Biker's bar but it's if that's just not true at least not during the day when I come thanks

The most amazing mozzarella sticks my tastebuds have ever been lucky enough to meet

Think "hole in the wall" meets "dive bar" meets "go to place in town". Came for lunch and it was nearly empty. Service was subpar and took a while - had to ask for silverware, didn't get napkins and had to visit bar for drinks at times. Server was kind though. Food...to get it out of the way, the potato skins were sub par, there were clumps of cheese and other ingredients and I wouldn't need them again but they did the job. There was pools of grease I had to quite literally pour off them though. But the MOZZARELLA sticks - huge, cheesy deliciousness. Our group ordered 5 orders at lunch and didn't leave 1 to go to waste. We ended up coming back for late night fun the same day, the crowds were there, music was fabulous and the food service was great and quick! Kind staff, good vibes, and fair prices! Dance area was hopping and a great time all around! Would recommend coming for later in the evening fun for the crowd and music but would come again for sure!

Mideival Madness might be the best pinball game ever made

Smells a little funny in here...kinda like disinfectant mixed with old beer mixed with wing sauce... Otherwise, this place is such a cool find on a random street in South Golden. Open late and the kitchen is open until 11pm. The wings are legit and massive, don't worry about not ordering enough, 6 wings ought to do the trick for most folks. Don't forget to get yourself some tots, delicious! The service was friendly all around, it wasn't a busy night here on a Tuesday but they were accommodating even with us showing up super late. The coolest part of this place is all the games they have, great pinball machines (I'm an addict), skee ball, pop-a-shot, pool, etc. and they aren't overpriced. Will definitely be back!

Pool and cold beer and lots of good food.

Goosetown Station

4.5(16 reviews)

I hesitate to do a review for this place or give it 5 starts because I feel by doing so I'm…read morerevealing a well kept secret and encouraging people to discover a hidden gem that may change when the crowds start coming. Goosetown Station is a unique experience. It combines the cool vibe of the grassy setting of Fiddler's Green with the experience of listening to music with friends in an intimate garden setting. The photos I've seen posted so far are misleading. They are outdated pictures of a place that no longer exists. And current pictures don't communicate the vibe. Goosetown Station has evolved to a one-of-a-kind music venue. It has a lot of moving parts that work well together to bring you a music experience that will stay with you long after you leave. But because it's always changing, evolving, improving, what I tell you about the place may change when you visit. But however the place is when you visit, you can be guaranteed your experience will be enjoyable and memorable. PARKING ======== There is parking on the street in front of Goosetown Station. The street is a dead end. If you can't find parking on that street, there is a free, open, public parking lot a 1/2 a block away. There is also public parking one block over in the other direction, across from Ford street. You can park there and walk across the footbridge to get to Goosetown Station. ADMISSION ========== When I walked up the incline to the entrance to the house I was greeted by a young woman who told me they take cash or Venmo. (I read a previous review that said they don't do cash. That's changed.) HANDICAP ACCESS ================ If you are wheelchair bound, the place is set up with no stairs leading to the house. There is seating inside the house and also a full bar and bathrooms. From the inside of the house you cannot see the stage and I'm not sure if they pipe the music from the stage into the house, but they should for those who want to sit inside. There is also comfortable seating on the side of the house in an area you walk through to get to the back where the stage is. I don't remember if there are stairs between the front entrance and this side seating area. If not, it's a comfortable, covered area where you can sit, hear the music and see the stage. SEATING AREAS ============= From the pictures I saw before I went, I imagined this place to be a house with a stage in its small backyard with a patio area to sit and watch the band. I was pleasantly shocked when I walked around the side of the house and entered the backyard. It's a huge area. There is a main grassy seating area with comfortable couches, groups of seats and lots of firepits. There is a huge tented area in one corner of the backyard. There are clusters of seats along the side and a table in a covered area with vines growing up the wall. There is a covered seating area with a firepit next to the outside bar and a large, isolated, sandy play area for children and their parents in another corner of the yard. BARS ===== There is a fully stocked bar to the right when you enter the building. There is a bar in the back and sometimes, depending on the crowds, they set up a bar in the front with beer and wine. I was able to use Apple Pay at the bar. FAMILIES WELCOME ================ This place is kid friendly. There were several young children and their parents attending the concert the night I went. As I mentioned there is a whole sandy play area with toys in a corner of the backyard. FOOD ===== They try to have food trucks to provide something to eat while you listen to music. The night I was there they were having a dispute with the city of Golden who didn't want food trucks parked on their streets (even though the street in front of Goosetown Station is a dead end.) So they offered Anthony's pizzas and had chips and hummus. The food they offer isn't meant to be your main meal as much as just something to help you not have an empty stomach if you're drinking alcohol. MUSIC ====== The quality of the band was outstanding. They played at a volume that was just enough to fill the backyard. They weren't trying to rock the neighborhood but the sound was sufficient to be heard over the quiet conversations of the guests. "THE FEEL" ========= At the risk of sounding sexist, this place feels like it was designed by women. In fact I only saw one man working the venue. He was the bartender inside. Other than that it was women attending to the visitors. I say it seems like women designed this place because it looked like it was deliberately planned to be comfortable, charming, welcoming and beautiful. The details of this place speak of someone who wants to create an atmosphere that goes beyond utility. Even the bathrooms are nicely decorated with candles burning. If you go to Goosetown Station, enjoy yourself and please don't change anything. It's perfect just the way it is. (Check out my pictures to see how this place looks now.)

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.

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.

With lots of folks thinking the same thing, we slipped in and grabbed a buzzer to keep us company for the 15 minute wait. Just a short 10 minutes later, we sat down at a four top and soon had four massive mason jars of water sliding across the table to us. I had been eying their Cucumber and Fire cocktail while waiting and it didn't disappoint. The refreshing cucumber balanced the jalapeño really well. Yum. The parents split a fabulous looking French Dip and rated it well (4 outta 5 stars). Their massive fans and we're looking for a bit more flavor in the horseradish dip for a perfect score. Not bad. Me? I ordered the Melted Monk sandwich with tomato bisque. I nixed the kettle chips. Absolute fan of the bisque. I could have had a gallon of it - really flavorful with great mouth feel. So good. I wasn't a fan of the Melted Monk sandwich, but also wasn't sure how the green apple slices would pair with the caramelized onions and raclette cheese, on cranberry walnut bread. Sounded interesting. Not bad, but wouldn't order it again. That aside, I'm still a fan. Teller's has always been a great choice and I'll return to some of my favorites next time. Never hurts to try something new! My guy raved about his Ahi Burger, and man, it was so much food. His tots were so good! I'm likely ordering this next time. Also - I almost forgot! The oysters were amazing - under fresh, if you can believe it. Teller's gets 6 deliveries a week of seafood. It totally shows. Yum.

I came for candlelit yoga. Yoga itself was enjoyable. There was a gentleman playing live music and we were all encouraged to work at our own levels wherever that may be. The instructor was pleasant and encouraging. I found her voice to be calming when I could hear it. However, there was a speed-dating event scheduled at the same time so there was a constant din of conversation noise that was loud. I have hearing issues and that level of ambient noise made it difficult for me to hear the yoga instructor even with her having a microphone.

The staff were all really accommodating and friendly. They didn't bat an eye when we asked about timing: can we grab a drink before we go in? Sure! And the experience itself? Super creative, attention to detail all over the place. And, there are differing levels of a scavenger hunt just to make things even more interesting. The exhibits change every so often so if you haven't been to this one, def go before a new installation is added.
