“Want a cozy fun place in Golden? Alchemy is it! A speak-easy in Miner's Alley, Alchemy has a great vibe. Bella was an amazingly helpful and friendly bartender/manager for our group. She offered to make us a signature cocktail for our birthday girl and use our playlist. With her help, we had a fabulous time in Golden!“

The location is clean and has plenty of tables. Also lots of vehicle parking. Full of Colorado nostalgia. Definitely due for a re-visit!“

“First place we go when we get into Golden Colorado“

“I have been going to Ballmer Peak on Green Mountain for a while now and have LOVED it, but I went to the second location on Sheridan and Alameda for the first time this evening. They have created a beautiful, warm and inviting space with the same great beverages and excellent staff. I can't recommend a visit enough!“

“We had been here in the past an had already really enjoyed service, environment, and food so we went in to get breakfast on the day we were eloping. Not only was the staff extremely nice and attentive they all said congratulations and seemed happy to serve us. Additionally the staff provided us with a complimentary dessert dish that was very well prepared and delicious!“

“Such a great place to stop in and have a drink. Cool, chill vibes inside with a nice light and open space. I was chatting all about my wedding this summer and the guys behind the bar loved it. Appreciate the great customer service, will return!“

“I’ve had so much fun at Thane’s Table for the last few years. Every time I show up, there is something exciting going on and I feel welcome to participate. Super happy to have discovered such a magical place in my area ❤️“

“My husband and I are very loyal customers to Hungry Goat! We visit at least once a month, sometimes more. Food is great! The drinks are even better! (Especially the espresso martini!) The staff is always so kind and friendly. Unfortunately though, lately we have been disappointed. We have ordered the Steak and Frites and more times than not, we have received a steak that has a lot of fat on it. Today, my husbands steak was half fat. I couldn’t believe it was even served to us.. we love this place so much and it’s been really disappointing.“

“Chef Vilma is amazing. The only thing I regret is not going here before. The staff is amazing. They treat you like family. Go here every night they are open if you can. You won't be disappointed.“

“A friend wanted to meet for dinner and mentioned tapas. Doing a quick search I came across Olde Town Social, and my friend agreed it looked like a solid option.
When I arrived, my friend was already there and had ordered an old fashion and he was quite happy with his selection and told me it was made with a smoke infusion in front of him.
When we sat down our server was prompt without hovering. He was quite engaging and we quickly established he was the owner (I am not always quick on the uptake). He answered our questions on the menu and we found out he has a history as a chef, and the menu showed it. We ordered the shishito peppers, the wedge salad and the ribs. I always love a good wedge salad, and this one didn't disappoint, in part because it was already prepared to be shared. The ribs were definitely a highlight and surprising - a unique dish that I will order again :) We finished up with some sliders.
I also appreciated that they have live music, movie nights, trivia nights and more. I will definitely be returning - solo, with friends and with out of towners.“

“Nice place. Food was good. We sat at the bar. Bartenders don't really pay attention to the customers unless the customer asks first.
The barstools are the most uncomfortable things we ever sat in! We both had sore backs afterwards. The seats are too short and narrow for an adult. I am averaged size, 5'10 180 lbs. and it was barely wide enough for me. My wife is petite and same for here. Comfortable chairs and barstools mean the customer stays longer which means more $$.“

“Excellent place! Great atmosphere! Great food and drink! Great service! I would highly recommend! My fiancé and I discovered The Arvada Tavern on an impromptu date night and really enjoyed ourselves there. Can’t wait to go back! Don’t take my word for it, go and check it out and see for yourself.“

“This place is AMAZING! The bartenders, the atmosphere, the people, the drinks, so good highly highly recommend! I will most definitely be going back here as like a go to spot. The atmosphere is so inviting and warm, the music isn’t super loud, there’s plenty of room and their drinks are incredible! We tried the 11:11 and the bartenders choice. This place is quite hidden, but it adds to the charm! Best to park in a parking lot and walk!“

“Thank you so much for the amazing donation of food for the Quarry Fire Evacuation! There is only so much fast-food one can eat and this was such a lovely treat! Your generosity is immense and we thank you for your support.“

“One of my favorite brunch spots ever! I’m from out of state & whenever we come to town I look forward to eating here! They have a great menu to choose from- I always go with the pancake flight! Their strawberry martini mimosa was delicious as well!“

“We stumbled upon Luke’s by accident and we are so glad that we did! We did not have a reservation, and the restaurant was busy, but that didn’t stop the manager and the bartender from giving us top notch service. They were both incredibly kind and attentive. The food was AMAZING. I rarely clean my plate but I ate every bite. I am pretty picky, so this was a big deal! I would give Luke’s a 20/10. We will definitely be back!“

“Friendly staff and they are patient with people watching sports there. Love the decor and vibes.“
