I was recommended the golden mill by many people when visiting golden and had to give a try! On first 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! read more

This is a real toss up for me. We were with a visitor who had been there when in Golden for a conference 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. read more

I mean can you go to Goldens in Golden without stopping at Golden Mill? Between the pour your own beer, tons of food options, one of the best patios and views in the whole city, it's a must stop. They also did such a great job getting people in and were being so awesome with all the dogs, kids and all that craziness. It's a must stop if you're coming to Golden! read more

The Golden Mill has a great overall vibe with many food vendors, a huge beer dispenser wall and a beautiful rooftop. Even though we visited on an extremely busy weekend, we still didn't feel under serviced. The entire setting and backdrop of the mountains in Golden is beautiful and they have many fire pits and seating to fit all. We tried the chicken karage and thought that was great. Highly recommended if you are visiting Golden! read more

Indoor/outdoor establishment with several options to eat, along with even more variety in adult beverages. Check in at the counter to get your "experience card". This card accounts for all your food and drinks. At the end of your stay, you turn card in for one total bill. Beware, adult beverages (all beverages) are charged by the ounce. The machine does tell you the price per ounce and when finished fill your glass, you do get a total -- however, if not paying attention, you can get carried away. read more

The Golden Mill - Inside - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Golden, Colorado

This was the perfect first stop on our Golden weekend! SEATING There is TONS of seating and we had no problem finding a great spot with an amazing view for the 6 of us. There's tons of variety in seating options: tall tables, comfy lounges around firepits, etc. We opted for bar-style seating along the stream. FOOD We were a group of six, and everyone was able to find something they liked here. I got a birria burrito bowl - as did another in our group, three got the BBQ, and one got the sushi. Quality was great and awesome to have variety! My burrito bowl was reasonably priced: the only higher-than-expected pricing was the sushi: two (nicer) rolls for $40. All are counter service, and you pick up when you get the text that it's ready. They have a drink/tap wall as well for serve yourself drinks! read more

Awesome self service atmosphere here! Grabbed lunch and a beer while visiting friends in Golden. I would love to come here in the summer to enjoy that outdoor patio and rooftop! After getting a card, you can go to the tap and select any beer you want and serve yourself. The card keeps track of your tab. There's also a couple different spots to get food. I decided on the Baja bowl with birria pork. Delicious. And cool view of the mountains and coors factory as well! read more

Such a fun experience. We went Saturday with our two young kids about 11:30am. It got busy fast but food only took 6 minutes to come out and was delicious. There's 4 different meal spots + ice cream shop. The tap wall is really cool and doesn't just include beer. It was a big place with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Will definitely be back. read more

Crazy mix..lets break it down. Pros: 1. Great quacamole, cornbread, and the chicken wedge was solid. 2. Like the quantity of offerings for the beer on tab. 3. Beautiful location. Cons: 1. Parking was crazy. 2. The place is serve yourself but they force an 18% gratuity on your bill. 3. The BBQ is served cold .. sausage and brisket. Little smoke taste. Weird! 4. The Aztec salad was meh ... added carne asada .. got ground beef read more

This place is very cool. Definitely worth swinging by and checking out. We stopped in after going to the lounge at Coors and this was by far the better choice. Mediocre beer selection, but definitely enough that everyone has a little of something to choose from. Three different restaurants or styles of food to get Makes everyone happy. Poor as you go they automatically charge an 18 fortuity which was fine because the atmosphere made up for the automatic tipping. read more

Fun place to go with friends for a night out! Kind of what I'd expect an adult cafeteria or food court to be like - a wall of different beers and cocktails to choose from and various food options. Right when you walk inside, you register at the front desk. You give them your credit card, and they attach it to a Golden Mill card that you'll use to pay for everything inside. At the end, you drop your card in a little box on the wall by the exit, and they will automatically close you out and add on a 20% gratuity. Their beer wall is great for people looking for variety and those who are a bit more indecisive. Put your card in the scanner, and you can serve yourself as much or as little as you want. Want a taster? Buy an ounce. Only want half a glass? Done. Great if you want to try multiple drinks, or if you're just in the mood for a bit. They even had a couple good ciders, which is always a pleasant surprise. Lots of food options - Japanese, Mexican, BBQ, classic American. We tried their BBQ, and gotta say, I was a bit disappointed. Got the 2 meats plate with burnt ends and pulled pork. The burnt ends weren't nearly as flavorful or as soft as I'm used to. Their brisket chili was good, but the mac and cheese was a bit bland. Missed the mark a bit. But their ice cream. I love New Zealand style ice cream, and while it's not commonly found, they 100% have it here. So smooth, creamy, and delicious. The perfect treat to end the night with. They have both downstairs and upstairs seating. If you have the option, grab a seat upstairs overlooking the river. Beautiful and relaxing. Overall, the food left a bit to be desired for me, but the drinks and experience were enjoyable. Good choice to go for drinks with friends. read more

Super fun place to get your drink on. Located in beautiful Golden, CO, mere steps from the Coors factory. I'm a beer snob so I rarely drink Coors and The Golden Mill is beer heaven. Hand them a credit card as you walk in and they give you an access card to all of the taps on their tap wall. Forget that you are paying by the ounce and focus on the fact that you are now the bartender and can pour whatever you want, and drink as much as you want. Fun idea and a great place to try different beers, sours, ciders, wines, cocktails without buying the whole drink. Pour an ounce here, try a half glass there..... yummmm! Great food options, too. Use the same access card and they add it to the bill... same as the beverage pours. Fun idea. I had a delicious bowl of mac n cheese with brisket tips. My wife loved the bbq ribs. Fun indoor, patio and upper deck sitting decks. We had a great time. read more

Often when I watch videos on social media of what to do in Golden they recommend stopping at the Golden Mill, so I figured we go check it out! It's a great place to come with groups. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and has two floors. It has a mini food hall feel since here are multiple different areas for food options. On the bottom floor there is Mexican, American food, and ice cream. On the top floor there is a Japanese restaurant. Both floors have taps of beers, though the first floor has much more options including cocktails and wine. I got the loaded fries and a wedge salad. Both were good! Might as well just try to look for parking on the street if available the parking for the Golden Mill is a few blocks away from the establishment. They've got lots of merch for sale on the first floor. The reason that I did not rate them higher is because their prices are high compared to if you were eating at another establishment. On top of that they have a 18% gratuity charge when everything is self-serve. I guess they are hoping people don't notice? Just seems pretty greedy. I would rather just check out the other restaurants in Golden before coming back here again. read more

Great hangout spot in Golden with various food, dining and alcoholic self serve tap options. Once you arrive you check in with the host and they'll give you the run down. I loved that you could try drinks at your own pace. I'm not a beer drinker, but they did offer a few ciders which I am a fan of! The pineapple one was fantastic. The food wasn't the greatest, but it did the job. We opted for the barbecue joint and got to try a variety of items. All were good, but not the best I've tasted. read more

Unique location that works when everyone wants to eat something different and try drinks. They have indoor (that you can reserve for events?), outdoor, and upstairs seating where you can watch Clear Creek, hide under sails, and get misted on a hot day. From what I remember the majority is benches and stools so keep that in mind if you have a bad back or maybe try the rooftop (there is an elevator up if needed or two staircases) which I think had more back support. When you come in, check in at the counter with the merch right of the drinks and left of the ice cream/bbq/dog vending machine area to get your Golden Mills card- especially if you are getting drinks you may get a stamp as well. The drinks are only via GM card but the Japanese (and maybe other food places) station can be GM or card. It will tally throughout your trip and when you are done you can put the GM card in the box to tab out but if you forget all open tabs are closed at the end of the night. To get the drinks, there is a variety of glasses and there are two stations upstairs - with a smaller one- and downstairs with different drinks. For people that want to try a little bit of everything this drink system can be great! For better or for worse they swap out flavors as well so it may be different when you come back. Downstairs will usually have a couple of ciders, beer, and cocktails in addition to a coke machine. You place your card on the reader and pour how much or as little as you want--and you can even mix (I've added a bit of sprite to a cocktail) them. (Tip: don't forget the ice- it's free) Tip: with the coke machine it can be hard to get the card out but as long as you don't pour it doesn't count $. I've had a 0.00$ pop up on the machine too many times). Upstairs is the same process with different drinks. I believe they still had beers, cocktails and wines but for example they had the sake upstairs near the sushi vs downstairs. At the sushi place they have more variety of items but I've just created my own poke bowl. To do so take one of the dry erase markers with the leaves on it and mark up a laminated poke menu/menu and then get in line. They usually are around 20$ for me which depending on your poke experience can be normal-more expensive. The fish (tuna) has tasted fresh when I have gone and with nice flavors and textures. read more

Needed a quick place to stop by, grab a drink, and some food so our friend recommended us here. Right by Clear Creek River, so we took advantage of that fact and sat on the second floor for amazing views overlooking the river. Golden Mill is a food hall that requires you to get one of their Golden Mill cards to purchase food and drink. They had everything from sushi to mexican to BBQ to ice cream. The BBQ was good - I really liked the Burnt Ends. And there were a wide variety of drink options. I wasn't a fan of most of the drink options, but that is just me. However, I did fall in love with their Paloma cocktail. Definitely would be the place to go to with friends to enjoy the nice outdoors with good food and good brews. read more

I visited the Golden mill yesterday with my kids for the first time. It's got a super cool vibe and is clearly a great place to hang out. They also have lots of different food options and beer and I'd love to go in for a beer as soon as I am no longer breastfeeding 24/7. I took my son to happy cones which we had been to their location in Edgewater before and they have great ice cream. I was shocked that a single scoop of chocolate ice cream with no toppings and a cake cone was almost $7.50. Yikes I have been planning to get ice cream too, but at that price point I skipped. read more

The views are outstanding. There is a lot of space to sit/hangout with friends. They have a rooftop, indoor space, and patio. There are plenty of fire pits and heaters for the colder days. They make it super easy (maybe too easy) to pay for beer and food by linking your credit card to a golden mill card that you scan for beer/food. Pouring your own beer/cider/cocktails is a fun experience. We got tacos from Taco El Chile. The corn guac was delicious, however, the guac was served underneath all the chips, making it difficult to get to. We each had two tacos. I ordered a pork rojo taco, that had a very weird taste to it. May just be a preference thing, as my husband liked it and finished it for me. I would love to go back and check out the other food stalls. read more

Cool place, like a food hall with self-serve beer. Not much seating inside, mostly outside so great for summer but limited spots inside for winter. There's a few options for food here, including chicken, burgers, bbq, sushi, ice cream, and pizza I think. I went to the bbq spot and got a few meats and mac n cheese. The bbq was ok, didn't hit the spot quite as other bbq restaurants but it filled me up! I do like that I was able to just pour myself a half pint of beer. I didn't really want more than that. Good place to bring friends who might want different food options but to me, the food quality was meh on both occasions I've been here. read more

This is a must if you're in town. We stopped in to grab a bit to eat while biking on a trail that led us right to it.

You get a card if you're going to be drinking which we didn't at that time but if you don't get a card order your food and pick a seat. The bbq was really good and so was the service. Definitely check it out. They also have bike racks for you to lock up your bike. read more

I just paid $30 for, unequivocally, the worst burrito I've ever had. First of all, it was huge - basically the diameter of the plate - and had sauce drizzled on top of it. So I knew it was going to be a messy pain to eat. And I wasn't boutta use utensils; I mean it's a burrito. Next, the burrito contents. It didn't feel like any of the ingredients had anything done to them. The tortilla wasn't grilled or anything. The ingredients seemed like they were taken out of a bag and just tossed straight into the burrito cold. And they were more like salad ingredients - cabbage, carrots, peas, maybe some spinach, plus normal stuff like rice and corn. Wth kinda tomfoolery is this?? On top of that, there was hardly any meat, and for the meat that was in there, it was the saddest carne asada I've ever seen. Just small bits of meat, not browned at all, maybe even boiled. It was a huge pain to eat, the contents would spill even if I tilted the thing at a slight angle, and the ingredients were just bizarre. I tried to finish the thing because I knew what I paid for it, but I literally felt like I was disrespecting myself by eating it and had to set the rest of it down. I'm sure the owner and employees are all great people, but this has got to be the worst burrito I've ever had. I was in a good mood because the sun had come out after a cloudy morning, but this legitimately put me back into a bad mood. I'd give 0 stars if I could, but I'll go with the 1 because the caramel churros were awesome. Thank god something was. (Guess there's no yelp page for Tacos Al Chile, so sorry Golden Mill, you'll have to take the review. Not that they'll lose any business from this, I'm sure. But I will say the Golden Mill itself was a really nice and busy spot, with a rooftop view of much of Golden. Too bad the food didn't match the ambience. Maybe I'll return to try one of the other places, because wow this first one was a big yikes.) read more

Last year after we visited Golden, my partner came across a video on Instagram of the Golden Mill, and we were bummed we missed it. When we decided to come back to Denver, we knew we had to visit and it definitely did not disappoint. It's was busy but had plenty of seating. Seating is available outside along the river, inside, and on the rooftop and you choose your spot. You pour your own drinks and there is a wine, beer, ciders, seltzers, cocktails, and even Kombucha. The food was delicious, my favorite was from Rolling Smoke Bbq where I got a two meat and two side plate. My favorite was the burnt ends and the Texas toast! My partner enjoyed the fried plantains from Tacos Al Chile and the sushi from Sushi Sora. A lot of reviews I read were complaining about the 18% gratuity, but not only did they mention it, but there's a sign as well. The service (bussing and cleaning of the establishment), in my opinion, was worth it. I like to support businesses who provide all of their workers living wages. Definitely will come back next visit! read more

So make sure you read the instructions on the back of the card so you don't look like a moron (like me) trying to figure out the tap wall. Great place, plenty of food options, plenty of drinks. The card concept is interesting, but makes sense since the drinks are volume based rather than flat fee for a pour. Not a complete set of photos but I got the la nomada and coors banquet to drink. To eat, I got a chorizo taco and a quarter pound of pulled port. Banger. read more

Great spot! This place was hopping in a Wednesday night but the unique self service and carry-out style food service kept everything easy. The restaurant was doing great business but didn't feel overly crowded because of ample seating options, both inside and out. Great views looking over the river and very friendly staff. You could pick from Tex-Mex, BBQ, and American food options in separate lines. I went with nachos and fried plantains in the Tex-Med line. I also got a Golden Mill card to access the soda fountain but there were many, many beer, wine, and alcoholic beverages in self-service taps accessible with the card. The food was fairly simple but tasty. Highly recommend! read more

The Golden Mill offers an innovative take on the modern brewery and food hall concept. Upon arrival, you're issued a payment card linked to your credit card, which you use throughout the venue for a largely self-service experience - from ordering at various food stalls to pouring your own beer and cider from their tap wall or grabbing soft drinks. We tried the BBQ and were thoroughly impressed - generous portions packed with flavor that made the experience worthwhile. The self-service model works smoothly once you get the hang of it. One minor disappointment was the limited non-alcoholic beverage options beyond soda and water - having some specialty mocktails or craft sodas would enhance the experience for non-drinkers. The location is stunning, situated right on the river with gorgeous natural scenery that creates a relaxing atmosphere. The setting perfectly balances the modern industrial vibe with Colorado's natural beauty. This spot works great for both tourists looking for a unique Golden experience and locals seeking a casual community gathering place. Worth checking out for the innovative concept and riverside views. read more

Drove by Golden Mill and knew I wanted to see why they were so busy and now I understand. I really liked that everything was self service, they just give you a card to use at the various restaurants inside and at the self pour station which you just drop in the boxes provided by all the doors when you leave. I was craving wings so we went to Republik of Chicken and got their chicken wings. I can't even explain the flavor but it was amazing! Creamy and robust, cooked perfectly, the sauce adhered to the wings and the chicken fell off the bone and they have the best blue cheese I've ever had. I need a whole tub of that stuff. The bbq joint was also amazing, we got the 1/2 lb of brisket and seasoned fries. Both were good, cooked well, and the bbq sauces were great. It's a great place to hang out and there's even an ice cream spot inside so you can get your dinner, drinks, and dessert all in one spot. Great place read more

What a nice place to stop by after a hike! Parking is a bit tricky, especially on a weekend. Feels like a cool place for adults to go hang out, enjoy the river, eat some good food, and relax. They pair your credit card with a RFID bracelet for you to pour your own beer on tap or soda (water is free). Pretty fun if you drink, but since I don't I enjoyed the food. Since we just hiked, I felt like staying healthy so I ordered a taco bowl. Wow, it was a lot of food! My friends ordered the burnt brisket sandwich, while others ordered salads. It was fun to order and scan the bracelet. The place was pretty packed, but people are moving around a lot. There are a lot of outdoor seating on the patio and a few counter height seats on the side with a view of people tubing down the river. We sat inside to enjoy the cool environment, it was hot that day! There were a few ladies that comes around the place and take your trays away when you're down or you can be big person and throw it away yourself. read more

We did not get food, but it all looked delicious, from barbecue to ice cream to sushi. I liked the concept how you can pour your own drink from the tap wall. I had a coors light and a peach mule. The peach mule was delicious... not too sweet! I enjoyed sitting outside in the fresh air on a beautiful day. read more

The Golden Mill is a super cute food hall in downtown Golden. They have so much outdoor patio space! We got lucky and snagged some stools upstairs so we could eat with a view of the river and mountains. You can buy and load a card to pay for food if you also plan to do the beer tap wall, but since we were just eating, we paid with a credit card. When ordering food, you give your number and they text you when it's ready! This place is great since there are so many different restaurants, it's easy to find something for everyone. I was hesitant to try sushi in Colorado (we are far from the ocean) but Sushi Sora had amazing vegetarian options! I ordered two rolls, as they were 6 pieces each: the veggie tempura and the fun guy roll. The veggie tempura had amazing light crunchy batter, and a variety of veggies including Japanese pumpkin! This roll needed a sauce in my opinion, so I got a side of spicy mayo. The fun guy roll was probably one of, if not the, best vegetarian sushi rolls I have ever had. It is so easy to be creative with vegetables and yet so many places are not. But Sushi Sora is very creative! The roll was a variety of chopped and roasted mushrooms that was in a very garlic forward sauce. It was so so so good. I highly recommend trying it if you like mushrooms! We also got ice cream at Happy Cones, which has New Zealand style ice cream. Basically, you have your vanilla base and then you choose which fruit you want blended into it. And they do not skimp on the fruit! It's like a less healthy smoothie almost. I got the mixed berries and it was so refreshing. read more

The Golden Mill is a gorgeous food hall style restaurant right along the Clear Creek River that you just can't miss! The check-in process is a little strange; you basically link your credit or debit card to one of their Golden Mill cards and then use that card to walk around and pay with. At the end of the day, you drop your Golden Mill card into a box and they close out your tab at the end of the night with an 18% service fee automatically added. There were 3 food vendors on the main level and 1 upstairs. They had several taps on both floors, consisting of wine, mixed cocktails, seltzers, and all kinds of beers. The food was fairly priced, but I thought the beverages were a little high. It's a fun experience and the food (and drink) come out very quickly! We enjoyed the outdoor seating by the creek. I'd certainly recommend this place for lunch or dinner to anyone in the downtown Golden area. read more
