“Yummy!! This place was fun and amazing!“

“Tasty and friendly brewery. Beer choices and taste very good. Atmosphere very bright and open. Service delightful. Food here is limited to popcorn, but they are welcoming to you bringing your own or ordering for it to be delivered. Food of your choice combined with best brews and great service.“

“Nice place ❤️ super nice. A very nice place, very good service, excellent atmosphere to share with friends.“

“Excellent service and always a good selection of beers. Great atmosphere to hang out with a few friends or a larger group. Dart are available to play if you are looking something other than just talking. Inside and outside seating for whatever your preference. Also a great dog friendly location!“

“Love this local brewery! Two22 is such a great small business and has done so much for their community, with events, fundraisers, and a portion of every beer sold going to select charities. Their beers are well crafted and their staff is friendly and helpful. If you’re new to the area, check them out during the week when they are not so busy. We love going for an easy date night where we bring food to the brewery or we look at their Facebook to see what food trucks are there that night. Highly recommend trying to get their Patio Peach in the summer. It’s delicious!“

“Pretty good spot. I’m a craft beer person (mostly prefer a kolsch or pils) and the beer here was pretty solid. Food was decent as well. Idk where the negative comments come from the service, I thought the people there did a good job, although it wasn’t very busy when I went.“

“Our first time to BJ's and Doug took excellent care of us! We will definitely be back! Entering into a super nice environment, had an AMAZING server. And food was DELICIOUS! 5 out of 5 stars for sure!“

“Cute spot with friendly staff and good vibes! I tried two beers and the hard seltzer and loved them all. The person serving me was so helpful and kind, and I felt right at home here. I loved all of the non-alcoholic options for those who might not want to drink alcohol. I'm just visiting the area, but I'm going to come back the next time I'm around. Thank you!! 🥂“

“Delicious beer selection!🍺“

“Came for a happy hour and got to enjoy some amazing beers. The space is fantastic with an outdoor patio (didn't check out as it was snowing hard on May 5th!) The interior is dark with cozy bar stools and tables inside for sipping beer.

Bruz Beers (a play on the Belgian Bruge) has an extensive menu. I got the bartender Tim's recommendation for my first beer. It was their dubbel, which is a dark abbey style ale. It was very tasty and not overly heavy. I wanted to try one more and am a big fan of sour beers. The grape saison (only available at Colfax location) is tart and fermented with Gewürztraminer wine grapes. It was also very good with the right of sour and not overly sweet.

The bar has some snacks for purchase like popcorn and meat sticks. I guess they normally have food trucks offering different types of cuisine.

There are bathrooms just outside the taproom shared with R&R head labs and another business. Just ask for the code as they require one for entry.

The parking is challenging as the bar is just south of Colfax on York. You can find street parking.“

“What a great brewery to hang out!“

“Gluten-reduced, delicious beer. It isn't certified gluten-free so they say gluten-reduced because of an enzyme they add during the brewing process, but as a person with a medical allergy to gluten, I don't have any issues with enjoying a 4 Noses IPA and for that I am grateful. This spot is big and open. Lots of seating options indoor and outside. There is a good truck. Parking is easy, either in the lot or on the street. Service is good. Definitely recommend a visit.“

“Danico Brewing Company is an awesome brewery with a really cool atmosphere. The interior of the place is beautiful and has a modern, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to hang out and relax for a while. Great selection of brews with something for pretty much everyone, whether you’re into lighter beers or something a little more bold.

The staff here were wonderful from the moment we walked in — friendly, attentive, and happy to answer questions or give recommendations. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do and want everyone to have a good experience.

The food truck outside was also incredible. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Great combination of awesome beer and great food. Overall, this is a fantastic spot to meet up with friends, relax after work, or just enjoy a fun brewery atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“The Brewer really knows Czech style beers, and he executes them well! Staff is friendly and the tap room is open and inviting.“

“There are very few breweries in CO or elsewhere who make awesome ESBs and even fewer who offer them on Nitro. My first time in Crazy Mountain I was blown away by this. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!“

“Giving it a four and not lower because the beer is good and the service is friendly. The place itself has a bit to be desired. I can only assume since they moved in just 6ish months ago, the decorations are still on the way. Very new and fresh, but sterile. A lot of televisions, but every one on the same station. Went because of the hop-pass, might check it out again after some time passes.“

“Brooke is amazing !! She is so friendly!“

“Amazing service and awesome beer in a great location. I love checking out local breweries and this place did not disappoint. They have a lot of space and different types of seating (high or low tables, bar seating and some seats on patio outside. They’re also kid & dog-friendly, though dogs must stay on outdoor patio. The beer-tenders are super friendly and helped me find the beers I like there and are awesome to talk to. I have come here a handful of times since moving to Denver from Florida and I’m comfortable reading a book on my own, sitting at the bar and chatting with the beer-tenders or regulars (who are super friendly to newcomers), or watching a game on TV. It’s a Welcoming atmosphere and has a good selection of different beer styles (e.g., hazy and west coast IPA’s, blondes and wheat ales, jalapeño blonde ale, red ale, barrel aged stout, Sour, & limited editions). Plus several of their beers are gluten reduced and one of the beer-tenders who has celiacs says she and others with gluten intolerant folks are fine drinking them. It’s definitely become my new home brewery after living here just 5 weeks! They also have a bookshelf of board and card games you can play if you want to make it a game night!“

“Great meet up spot. We really enjoyed the beer and the vibes!“

“My friend shared the dopplebock? With me. It was surreal. I don't use that lightly. Serene? There is no aroma or hint of flavor. It was like a Newcastle fought Guinness, they both lost. Top notch. This might be the best beer I've ever had. I'll be sure to stop by next time“

“Very nice brewery and David served me up one of their small batch Honor Beer IPA’s. Very nice and a great cause to support.“

“The best. Gabbie our waitress was amazing. The food was amazing. Will be back for brunch next weekend. We went for the prime rib steak. Cooked to perfection.“

“The tour of the Tower. Truly great. Be sure to go soon to see it while it is still original and a bit rough. Then go again after all the bells and whistles have been completed. It was soooo cool to see the view, hear the recording of the last transmission from the tower to the last flight to leave Stapleton airport. Learn about the history. A great experience!!!“

“Absolutely delightful Kombucha spot offering an array of flavors including Kombucha, Ginger beer, Lemonade, and Cold Brew. I can't speak highly enough of this place; Marc, the owner, is exceptionally personable, and his dedication to diversifying the wellness industry shines through in every sip with impeccable flavors! A definite 10/10 recommendation. Don't miss out on the Blood Orange Vanilla Ginger Beer, Lavender Lemonade, and the seasonal Fall Spice Kombucha for a truly authentic experience!! ?☺️"“

“Had a great time! We had a couple friends staying here, so the location was perfect. We made a reservation for 10 people and they had our table ready right when we arrived. The food was amazing, the pasta was great and the burgers were delicious!! The service was excellent and Mel was absolutely incredible. Super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend and would come back again!“

“This place has become a second home for me. I consider the staff close friends, and I love the warm welcome I receive every time I come in. They truly care about their regulars and have made every effort to make me feel comfortable and loved. From delicious food to great beer to fun parties, DBC South Downing is the best tap house around!“

“Get the word out about this awesome spot! Great staff and atmosphere with ample seating (including a really solid patio) and fun beer selection. We love their beer from visits to Ned and were so pumped to hear about this new tap room.
For some reason old reviews from the bar that used to be in this building seem to be causing confusion - this place is a solid 5 all around!“

“Flight delay so stopped in for flights of delicious beer. 1st time here and lived it 💕“

“Hosted my husband's 40th birthday get together here and I highly recommend working with them to book large group parties. Particularly if you have a mixed group of kids and adults. The playground being 20 feet from the patio makes it so easy. The management & staff were truly amazing, so helpful, never irritated. They were very easy going and made the entire day go smoothly. Highly recommend.“

“I’m new to Denver and I am so excited I found this place right away! The food, atmosphere, staff, owner & his wife! They are all brilliant! My second time in I was pleasantly surprised with some very talented musicians and stayed much longer than intended! Stoked to spend many more nights here!! They have games to play too! The patio is a perk also!“

“I used to go here before Covid.You were great then and you're great now! Auntie Social's Kiss Of Approval 💋“
