    Cute local spot on the downtown strip. It took a few min to be greeted once we walked in but they were on the busier side so it was understandable. Once we were seated tho it took 10 min for a server to welcome us or even say hello so that was a bit irritating. Once we were greeted by our server she was very nice & friendly so it helped relieve some of the tables irritation. She explained how large the pizzas are and how one slice is usually more than enough for one person. She was also correct too. The slices are HUGE! Memorable item here that I had never had before was the pumpkin martini. I had ordered the espresso martini and she suggested the pumpkin and it was delicious! It is a seasonal drink so not offered all the time but if you can try it, definitely suggest you do!

    This place is absolutely phenomenal! The staff are sweet and all the entrees are pretty good. The pizza was really tasty but unexpectedly, the burger was the shining star of this place. It was one of the most amazing burgers I've ever had in my life. Hearty, flavorful, perfect buns, but not heavy or overwhelming. It's a shame I didn't get to try their famous biscuits but thats because we came after 3 on a weekend. The atmosphere is great as well. It's so nice sitting out on the deck and listen to faint music while people watching. Forewarning, the "Big Ass Slice" of pizza is BIG.

    A tale of two cities. We hit Atomic Cowboy for breakfast our first night in town and came again last night for " a slice" after driving back from the Rockies game. We showed up and there was some argument going on outside. We walked in to we later found was the bartender "maybe a manager too don't know" telling an employee not to let certain people back in pointing passed us to the people outside we had passed on the way in. We got seated and a lady from the arguing group had come back in and was using a bunch of profanity talking to us while waiting for her pizza and obviously way drunk. The girl who seated us tried to calmly diffuse the situation about the time her order showed up. Thee employee I thought handled it very well and ultimately had to call the police in to remove the problem since once the lady got outside, she banged on the window really hard and that was pretty damn cool. Anyway, we got our pizza that was just perfect.. and being across the street from the golden hotel was just skipping a jump back to our room after that. Whether it's breakfast late night or anytime in between this place is definitely worth coming to.

    Talk about some very indulgent and delicious food. I'm so glad I went on a 5 mile hike before eating the Lola sandwich here. There are some healthier options like salad but be ready for very rich food choices at Atomic Cowboy. Really nice servers, patio was enjoyable with lots of dog friends allowed out there.

    Check in counter.

    Don't really understand what this joint has going. So much moving and filled with one-of-a-kind memorabilia. Joined them for breakfast...amazing choices....Food came quick and hot. When in Golden, definitely needs to be on your list to try.

    Big-Ass Pepperoni Slice
    Samantha W.

    We popped into Atomic Cowboy during our 1-night stay in Golden this February. We were both craving pizza and had heard of their "big-ass slice" and just had to try it. They aren't exaggerating when they say "big-ass slice"--those slices were MASSIVE. Along with our big-ass pizza slices, we got the loaded garlic knots, which were also delicious. Everything hit the spot and was just what we were looking for. It is a fun environment with TVs all around and tons of board/card games to play. Service was fast and friendly other than my wife's gin and tonic the server seemed to forget about. The G&T finally came near the end of our meal, but our server made up for it by comping it. I would certainly come back here.

    Biscuit and iced tea
    Debbie W.

    After taking the trail along the river, we walked across the bridge and right away saw Atomic Cowboy. It looked like a cute place to try, so in we went. We were immediately seated and approached by a very friendly server. She let us know that we had a couple of minutes if we wanted a biscuit, as they were about to stop making them for the day So we ordered an iced tea and biscuit each, some honey-butter and strawberry rhubarb jelly. The jelly was not as thick as we thought it would be, but it tasted good. The biscuit was huge, crispy on top and fluffy inside. We each ate half and took the other half home. Very cute place, yummy biscuits and friendly, attentive service!

    Loved this place! It is def an indulgence, but we were on vacay. Indoor/outdoor seating. Two concepts; biscuits and then pizza/smash burger. Great drink menu too. Unlimited self-serve coffee bar, currently (7/25) $4.25. We were there around 10:30am, after putting our name on waitlist whilst I finished my walk on nearby Clear Creek. We decided to get biscuits, the Winona (nashville hot chix and pimento cheese) and dbc club - both amazing. We shared McHashbrowns which as the name suggests are reminiscent of a famous fast-food arches place. I got strawberry-rhubarb jam ($1 upcharge) which was not jam; it was a purée. It was ok, but I want a thick spreadable jam, not a sweet liquid. Our server was awesome! Very clean. Fun vibe. Go! Enjoy!

    Lights out burger
    Joel H.

    The lights out burger was really good. I like the burger sauce and it was like a thousand island sauce with a little kick. During happy hour the burger is only $8 which and in downtown Golden that's a pretty good deal. The service was excellent and the server made sure to take care of us. I also like the vibe of the place and I'll definitely be back.

    We had breakfast this morning at Atomic Cowboy in Golden, and it did not disappoint. I went big with The Tomahawk, and it was absolutely delicious--hearty, flavorful, and cooked just right. The kids had French toast and eggs and cleared their plates with smiles, so that says it all. My wife ordered the same and loved it, and my son went classic with bacon and eggs, which hit the spot. The service was outstanding--friendly, fast, and attentive. And the vibe? Super chill, with just the right mix of laid-back and lively. Great spot for breakfast, especially if you're looking for something local with personality. We'll definitely be back. #AtomicCowboyGolden #BreakfastVibes #GoldenColoradoEats #FamilyBrunch #TheTomahawk #SupportLocal #GoodEats #GoldenCO #FoodieFinds #BrunchGoals #ColoradoBreakfast #YumInGolden #EatLocalCO Follow me on IG @hungry_dude_usa

    I have always been so confused by the multiple names for the Denver biscuit company, and I think I finally figured out how it works. Still seems silly- just name it one over arching name and just have a breakfast and a dinner menu? But Fat Sullys is the pizza, dbc is brunch (which ends at 2pm most days), and atomic cowboy is the bar (alcohol served all day). I absolutely adore Dbc, and I am always impressed by the food. The pizza is New York style, which I just have to accept that I don't love thin crust and just stop ordering it. The burger, the only burger on the menu, claims to have been rated the best burger in Denver, and it was good, but the best? It had two smash patties served crispy on it, with house made pickles and a burger sauce that tasted like a tangy thousand island. The bun was great, a nice pillowy brioche. They had some really nice specials for happy hour, and on tuesdays they run happy hour all day. I will definitely be back to drink for sure, and if I got hungry I wouldn't turn down the burger, it's very good bar food. The decor is a fun mix of mid century decor, old school pressed tin ceiling, and some neon mixed with graffiti. It works well!

The complimentary breakfast was also a highlight, with a nice spread of options that made it easy to start the day off right. My only suggestion would be to add carpeting in the guest rooms. We could hear footsteps and loud thumping from the room above us throughout the night, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay, and I would definitely return

Loved our drinks. The blueberry manhattan was delicious. * Free beer with token upon check in was nice. Hydration is key. * Room was simple but had nice touches. Liked the motion sensor for the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. Water in the room. * Full coffee bar on the room floor when you get off elevator. * Didn't get to use at night but the rooftop areas looked nice. At least in the morning for coffee they were * Fancy cupcakes and bubbly in the fridge was a nice surprise. The hand written welcome note was a nice touch. * Included continental breakfast had a decent breakfast burrito, parfaits, waffles and cereals. * free easy to connect WiFi * Again, last minute Sunday. Checked their site for rooms and one available, booked a corner room. The hotel called a couple hours later and said there was a mistake, I really thought they were going to tell me they had no rooms. Just has a different room, that was a bit cheaper. I think the lady calling was thinking we would be mad, it was all good. They handled it great. Can't really think of anything that needed to better- loved it and will stay again.

A visit to the State Room's grand opening this afternoon brought me on over and I am not mad at it! I absolutely love the old mountain town feel of Golden and the State Room is RIGHT in the heart of it. Find the buffalo on Washington St. and the sign that welcomes you into the city and you'll find yourself right in front of Buffalo Rose, a music venue that has been completely renovated and seriously revitalized. The building itself was built in the 20's, so this place is just steeped in history, but the decor in The State Room is cozy and inviting with large, leather armchairs and a fireplace, but also chic with ultra cool and modern light fixtures and a bit of that exposed brick that I've grown to love in the Denver area. The State Room is the bar that lives right upstairs leading to a great balcony view of the stage. Beer is served downstairs, but come upstairs for some fantastic cocktails featuring State 38 Distilling's local spirits. Mitch made me a very tasty Old Fashioned which I'm pretty sure is my new go-to if my fave whiskey mule isn't available. Now that I've been introduced to Golden, I will be making my way over more often to explore and a drink at The State Room may just be my first stop - I have my eye on that smoking Old Fashioned for next time. Ps. check their daily happy hour drink specials for some of their popular cocktails starting at $5.
