    Love this little brewery! Decent food with vegetarian options and nice staff. Love the heavy metal/devil vibe, but maybe it's not for everyone. In a good location near shops I like to stop by.

    The taps also vibe(y) blue light tapestries

    Had a fun vacation day of vintage shopping and walking around and saw that this brewery opened at 3, so after lots of shopping, we arrived a little after 3 on a Monday and already it was filled with happy drink people of almost types. I had a summer ale and loved the service, the overall vibe, and that you could order food if you liked.

    Went with my husband who is a huge metal fan. This place plays metal and makes great brews. Hubby had two of their IPAs and they both had an excellent hop nose and delicious flavor. I had their Porter. It had the roasty, malty flavors I like. The service was fire and the atmosphere is solid. Great local art on the walls for purchase. They have some fun merch too. We will be back.

    Went here for brunch after being told they had great beer and a hot chicken place in the back with great sandwiches! My boyfriend and I love breweries and good food, so we made our way here. We got to Trve right when they opened, we were the only ones there. We went up to the bar (they don't do flights) and ordered a beer for each of us. The sour I got was pretty good, they mostly had IPAs. I loved the dark/metal theme they had inside. The bartender was friendly, the merch was good, and it was in a nice location. Overall a great afternoon.

    It's a darkass bar inside but bright at the very front.

    The very unfriendly and unwelcoming female bartender, even after I said "it's our first time here" wasn't happy to see us, to explain anything, or even be nice about trying some samples (this was on 4/30/23). I asked to try some beers (pretty common) and she says "You can have ONE or TWO". And not in a nice way, either. She needs to shut up and go find another job not dealing with people, sorry not sorry. Everyone gets samples at breweries. If you don't wanna give me any or be a dick about it -- no worries! I've got 100 other breweries to choose from! Who might also be happy for my patronage, by the way. I also organize events that bring in business! Won't do it here, girlfriend!! Hope the owner is happy with how you are representing their establishment ;) Also, giving tastes doesn't come out of your pocket, why would anyone care if I try literally everything? Tell me why people in the service industry can just be rude AF and I'm supposed to be nice to them and then also have an expectation that I have to give them my money on top of it? Service industry workers who steal joy, ruin vibes, and expect the hard-earned taking of other people's money need to find a place to go a. Rant over. Not a huge fan of how dark it is inside, even in a bright sunny day it's super dark in the back at the bar. There's some sunshine in the very front. The beer I had was pretty good I don't even remember, it's overshadowed by the negativity we experienced. They had some food, too which is a perk when a lot of other breweries aren't set up for food. I won't be back. At least for a long time, if ever. Plenty of other options where I won't get treated like garbage. Ciao!

    Visited here on a Westword recommendation. Pleasant surprise. Known for beer and metal so be prepared for the music blasting from the speakers. Don't let this deter you as their beers are tasty and the service is friendly. Their brews are varied and have interesting names such as Siren and Obsidian Crown. The Siren was a nice Belgian-style Saison and the Obsidian Crown was a heavier Imperial Stout with some chocolate and coffee notes.

    Spicy chicken and interesting beers. Darkly lit with metal band music being played. A nice mix of bearded men and a few women. I usually start with a 16oz draft of Belgian style Saison "Siren" for $7. A refreshing slightly hazy beer. Great for spicy chicken tenders. I got 2 sauces. The Fireball Maple was too sweet and the Siren Beer mustard provided a different spice to complement the chicken tenders. I also got a Mac & cheese side + large side of sweet potato fries, both for $4 each. A bit higher than earlier this year. The chicken sandwich, tenders and vegan Sando didn't increase in price. The vibe is quite funky. Metal music has lots of rapid strumming of electric guitars and percussion but no lyrics. They have increased their non-alcoholic offerings. They also continue to promote local artists with their art on the wall opposite the bar.

    This was my second time back to this place, and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. They have a satanic metal vibe going on, the staff was moody, it was also dimly lit and very crowded on the night we stopped by, so that's something to expect. The beers are great and they have several sour beers I really enjoyed and I purchased a few bottles to bring home with me. There is also a hot chicken place located inside that we didn't try, but I will have to come back and try the chicken next time .

    Incredible selection of beer and amazing hot chicken. The place is definitely a bit darker than I would prefer. However, I stopped here by myself while traveling to Colorado Springs so it wasn't a big deal this time. Plenty of seating and to go beer options too whether you want to stay there or just get some cans to go. It is also quite loud depending where you sit but thankfully closer to the front it's quieter. Overall a great stop and would go again

    I love Trve. I've gotten a few orders of to go beer since COVID hit, and while they are allowing people back into the bar I am still taking mine with. I love the metal theme--fun without being kitschy. And I've yet to try a single beer that was bad. Some aren't to my taste or in my preferred style, but they're all SO GOOD, which is rare for any brewery. I am just sad that it will be a bit before I'm back in Denver and able to revisit Trve!

    This place is just down the block from where I'm staying. So it was the perfect place to end my night of brewery hopping. I got there close to closing so I only got one beer. I got their Strange Gateways schwarz. It was delicious but hard to put down because I had a lot of beer by then. The decor inside was neat and I liked the darkness of the taproom.

    TRVE's tagline is "beer, metal, Denver." It's one of the places that was high on my list upon moving here. A brewery that not only makes a name for itself due to its forward-thinking beers, but because they're obsession with all-things-metal. I was sold instantly. Now I think it's unfair to say that if you don't like metal music that you shouldn't even bother coming here. Yeah, they play their music loud. Which is part of the reason why I adore them. On Friday afternoon, they had on Doomriders Black Thunder from front to back. If you know, you know. A small sign on Broadway is easy to miss. Once you step foot inside you're greeted with a long and narrow, although comfortable taproom. Bartenders are always friendly and down to earth, willing to give recommendations. TRVE unveiled two new beers this past weekend, so my buddy and I popped in for a pre dinner beer. The Lost Causes Pale Ale is fantastic. It's light and clean, yet loaded with citrus and heavy melon flavor. Also, I had to try their collaboration with OMF and of course, it was so damn good I had to buy a 4-pack for the road. The coolest element of TRVE is their unmatched identity. They are who they are, and that's that. The more the merrier, but if it's not your thing they respect your decision to find another spot. "Employees Must Carve Slayer Into Their Forearms Before Returning To Work." \m/

    More of a stop of curiosity to a brewery/ beer bar deemed as heavy metal themed. Quite moody and dark and screamy indeed. The button that led to a speaker overhead the sink in the equally moody and dim bathroom had me raising a curious eyebrow. You'll find a variety of styles on their tap board; they seem not to lean any which way. I hardly recall what we drank here, maybe a dry-hopped sour and some hazy IPA. I vaguely recall something light and easy-drinking. The Nashville Hot Chicken place shares the space with the taproom and is solid as a food option when you're in a pinch. With some embarrassment, I never knew the TRUE way to call this EDGY brewery, but now I do. ;)

Loved listening to the bands, and exploring the huge space. They have olllllld school pinball game, giant jenga, gigantic cornhole, trash can sized beer pong, and ladder ball (normal size). They also have an original Nintendo with Mario. Seating a little tricky, be careful sitting on the benches, they move in odd ways. But loved the tables and chairs upstairs with the perfect view of the stage! Service was my only complaint- I think the first guy at the bar was having a hard time because they were so busy. I waited at the bar for a while without being acknowledged, then by the time he did finally notice me he just held up a finger. Finally a chick came over and took my order, but it took a while. She was perfectly nice, however, and it wouldn't stop me from returning or recommending them. The helles was a decent German beer with a good depth of flavor- I would come back and try their other beers for sure. Highly highly recommend and will absolutely be back for other events! Bring back emo night please!

    Came here for a themed night out recently on a Friday night. I haven't been to the space in a few…read moreyears and it seems smaller on the inside than I remembered. They had a section with some large games like beer, pong and cornhole as well as a separate side that had a stage. The upstairs location had some tables and a ton of plants. You could overlook everything from the upstairs. The night was fun, but the place seemed dead for the most part. Kind of surprising for a nice weekend night. There is also a loud rowdy group that was kind of monopolizing all of the large games so we didn't get a chance to play those. Beer was decent although they do add a 20% charge. Might come back in the summer when the weather gets nicer.

    This is a great pet friendly place located in the RiNo Art district...a brewery with craft pizza,…read morecalzones, apps & salads. The vibe is cool with music playing, garage doors that open up to the outdoor patio & a friendly staff. We arrived mid afternoon on a sunny Sunday for pizza. As the owner(s) say, why the name Black Shirt, "it's my symbol of rebellion- Johnny Cash". " Black shirts stand for rebellion, independence, and the courage to stand apart." And their pizzas do stand apart from others! We ordered the War Pig Pizza and a small Caesar Salad. The pizza was topped with a red sauce & a cheese blend, with cotija, pepperoni, prosciutto, bacon, sun-dried tomatoes & a chipotle-maple glaze - it was outstanding! The combination with these ingredients made for a delicious craveable pizza. I especially liked the glaze, more sweet than spicy. However, the salad was just okay, the dressing didn't have a lot of flavor & the lettuce could have been more fresh. Overall a great lunch & I look forward to trying some of their other pizzas as well as their beer.

What can i say aside from, they are THE BEST! I love their style crust! Thin and crispy but not TOO thin. More NY style which is my fave. The garlic bread was also superior.

This is def going to be my goto when I am wanting to order pizza in. YUM!
