“Absolutely love Hornet Restaurant! The food is always amazing, and the service is top-notch. Sean brings such great energy—friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about the experience. The whole atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I especially love the unique touch of the street sign out front. It really sets the tone before you even walk in. A must-visit spot!“

“Great place. EXCEPT they need some regular tables towards the front. The only ones they have now is back in the kiddy section. I took a handicapped lady who can't use the high drinker's tables. The kid section was full. We were forced to go down the street.“

“Rock Rest Lodge in Golden, Colorado, offers a lively and versatile atmosphere that caters to a range of visitors. One of its standout features is the presence of two high-quality pool tables. These tables are well-maintained and attract a lot of attention, making them a popular spot for patrons. If you’re a fan of billiards, be prepared for some competition—they’re almost always in use, especially during peak hours.

The food at Rock Rest Lodge is solid for a pub, offering a decent selection that pairs well with their drink offerings. While it’s not fine dining, it does the job, and many guests appreciate the casual, hearty menu.

The Rock Rest is known for its bustling vibe, especially on Tuesday nights, which is their College Night. On these evenings, the place feels like a full-blown weekend party, with cheap drinks drawing a “School of Mines” crowd and creating a high-energy atmosphere of future scientists and engineers bumping elbows with locals of all ages. It’s the kind of scene where you’ll forget it’s a weekday!

Come the weekend, Rock Rest Lodge transforms again, hosting a DJ that turns the venue into a quasi-dance club. The music and lights make for a vibrant nightlife experience, and it’s a great spot to let loose and dance.

For families, the lodge is kid-friendly until 10 p.m., providing a welcoming space for all ages earlier in the day. After 10 p.m., the crowd shifts to adults, keeping the energy fun but more grown-up as the night progresses.

Overall, Rock Rest Lodge offers something for everyone, whether you’re there for a casual game of pool, nightly karaoke, shuffle board, arcade games, a family meal, or a high-energy night out. Just be prepared for the crowds—it’s part of the charm of this popular Golden hotspot.

“So good so good so good so good d“

“Atmosphere was definitely eclectic. It was very clean and the food was fantastic. Toys and drinks. Also good options staff was friendly. They came out fairly quickly with the portions. Bathrooms were a bit odd. Plenty of seating for the outside. It was a fairly large place with definitely seating for large groups. Even though it wasn’t my style it is a great place to check out. The truffle fries and fried pickles were both great choices. We had their apple cider. Also which game called and was great.“

“Great old neighborhood bar! Not even a hint of chain restaurants! Near Ft Logan, so it became a gathering spot for family ahead of a weekday service there.

The simple menu is well executed, and I had the Colorado Sunrise burger cooked to a perfect medium rare. Very tasty!! The whole crew of 13 enjoyed their food, and the staff gave us great service right through our surprise early rush.“

“What a fantastic place for a night out! The staff were welcoming and attentive, the menu was impressive with so many choices, and the bar was cozy and clean.

So happy Rocky Top came up in my Google search for “good bar food near me!” We’ll be back for sure 👍❤️🍺“

“My friend and I came on a lovely fall day and sat on the patio with our pup. The bartender was very friendly and attentive always making sure to check up on us. The chef went out of his way to bring us some sort of delicious spicy sauce for us to try with our sandwiches and came back out to give the pup some bacon! Really amazing food and service!“

“very nice staff love the live music, the wait staff was awesome, the doorman was hot also, i will be back again“

“Highly recommend Heritage Grill at Walnut Creek Golf Preserve! They provide excellent service, have friendly staff, and an overall great atmosphere! We recently booked a company event here and it was amazing! The food was good and the space is great for entertaining a large group! We will definitely be coming back.“

“Great BBQ and beer selection“

“We went to 1up on a Saturday night; it wasn't super busy but the arcade space isn't huge compared to the other locations. There was no wait at the bar and it was easy enough to navigate the crowds despite groups standing around in the middle of the floor. There is an ATM that will change your cash into tokens (NOT quarters) and you can add a $20 bag of tokens into your tab at the bar if you don't have cash, so they've made it super accessible to play.

The games themselves are in varying states of condition. I saw one out of order game, one of the shooters seemed like it was on its way out when we played it, and another shooter ate a bunch of our quarters. Luckily the bartender gave us some tokens to pay back what the machine got.

If you're in the area and want something to do, I recommend this spot. If you're seeking out an arcade and have the means to go to one of their other locations, you'll have a much bigger selection.“

“we were in the area for a mini vacation (my sister and i). initially we were walking to the brunch nearby but as we were passing by, we changed our minds and went in. after seeing the cowboys game on, we sat down near the TV it was on. I asked if it was possible to change the TV behind my sister as well since we will be sitting across from one another. it was playing the Olympics races and nobody was watching (1 booth other than us and 4 people bar top). after it was changed, we ordered our food and drinks. a kitchen staff joked about the cowboys with friendly bantar before returning to the kitchen. shortly after, the general manager (I was unaware at the time) came from the kitchen and changed it again. I said excuse me several times to him and got 0 acknowledgement. the bartender shrugged his shoulders and looked away from me. I spoke to Anthony as there wasn't much time left on the game. Anthony attempted to talk to him and he said there were people watching the game. the game which was not put on until AFTER we requested the change. while I'm not one to sweat small stuff, I work in customer service and with 6 mins left on a preseason game, what's the harm? at least acknowledge me when I speak to you. let's come to an agreement. instead, I turned my chair around and waited to eat the appetizers sitting behind me on the table until the game was over (a whopping 4 mins) I don't get time to catch many games, was on vacation and wasn't being rude about it. i love sports and trust, I would've been stoked to catch the baseball game he changed it to AFTER the football game. and I would've been the only customer paying attention then too. so finally I was loud and thanked Anthony for his friendly demeanor and caring about his customers. I said it very loudly since I could not get acknowledgement when speaking politely and directly to him. what do ya know? now we hear me in the kitchen and have plenty to say. with music playing and food being prepared no less! I enjoyed the food. probably the best wings I've had in ages! the beer cheese soup was delicious. I enjoyed our waiter's customer care. without him, we would've walked out. food is top notch. caring about customers, not entirely priority. we don't visit often so it isn't a huge loss that we won't be returning because of one person. Definitely ask for Anthony if you do go!“

“Stumbled upon this place while visiting Denver for my birthday and we ended up going twice. The staff is super friendly and down to earth—felt like a neighborhood hang in a smaller town. The food was excellent too! We’ll be back next time we visit!“

“Great Wisconsin spot. Attached to their sister property The Rhein House. Get there if possible 👍 nice beer selection, combination of Wisco dishes and German dishes👍“

“Love this historic spot... and, one of my favorite burgers in Denver. great for sports especially DU hockey and they have ca solid menu. Check it out!“

“Everything. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and lovely. Every staff member I met was kind and gracious and seemed genuinely happy to be working there. The hotel itself is ideally located and the lobby is cozy and feels classy and warm. There is a downstairs lounge area that was frequently empty where friends could gather, read, work, or play pool. The restaurant Harry’s has the most amazing food - I highly recommend the 1910 grilled cheese and tomato soup, with the black truffle fries on the side. Wow. I will never be the same. The hotel is dog friendly, which I love, and people friendly. We had coffee in the lobby in the morning, snacks in the afternoon, and cookies and milk in the evenings. My room was cleaned every day. This was the BEST experience I have had since before Covid and I will always choose this hotel when I am in Denver from now on.“

“esta muy bien el lugar lo que no me gusto esque ponen cumbias, se supone que es casa de rock, Rock, Rock, no es nada en contra de la cumbia pero seria mejor puro ambiente Rock!“

“The food, cocktails, service/staff and lighting/ambiance: all great! Its a vibe.“

“We went Saturday night for a few drinks, the atmosphere was casual, then the DJ cranked up the music and played old school funk, R&B and the place got totally electrified. The vibe was amazing. Will definitely go back, try the food and listen to great music.“

“Super appetizer and excellent service“

“Good place to hang with friends. The food selections are meh.“
