    I popped in between appointments in Aravada for a beer and to sit on my laptop. Came for the balloons. Stayed for the inns.

    If you advertise that you open at 1100, you probably should open at 11:00. You lost a decent amount of money today

    Friendly dive bar. Decent prices. None of the pretentiousness of old town. Solid place to duck into when you're in need of a release

    This was a cute little stop in Arvada! Our friends had come here on a previous trip and said we had…read moreto go play NBA Jam here haha. They have a lineup of fun classic arcade games in the front area near the bar, and then there's a larger space with pinball and other arcade games in the back. The ambiance is great with fun wall art, moody lighting, and dark interior. They have cocktails, mocktails/NA options, and food available as well. The bartender was kind and even gave us some tokens another guest had left behind! Games aren't cheap - about $1 per person per play - but I suppose that's what they run these days. We played: NBA Jam Big Buck Hunter Pacman 4-player Guitar Hero Arcade and a few others! Fun with a small group or solo for a few drinks with an activity.

    Here getting some drinks both NA and boozie with Ryan. I love places that have options for both :)…read moreI also love Rocky Mountain soda and I was pleased to see that on the menu. We dipped in here because it's so crazy hot out at the farmers market. Highly recommend popping in here for a snack a drink and playing some arcade games. There's even a room in the back with more games so don't miss that. People working here are super kind and fun. Everything's clean and bright artsy and fun!

Be aware though, it is not one of those manufactured dive bars seeking to draw in the youngsters looking for a prefab thrill - the Rose is very much for people who want to escape the craptastic churched-up over-priced swill joints and enjoy the company of hard working blue collar/no collar men and women who are not interested in anything but chillin' like villains. There is plenty of parking in the back, and a large, comfortable smoking patio. Noticed a few signs posted inside advertising a potluck Thanksgiving feast this Thursday so if you have no place else to go maybe you can stop in with a side dish to share (or at least a veggie tray). Don't be a dick though, as it appears bad behaviour will definitely not tolerated. Pro tip: This is a local watering hole, everybody apparently does know everybody, which might imply some familial serving priority by the staff. That is not the case though, as they proved to be friendly to new faces and if you courteously ask the barkeeps for their names and offer yours, chances of exceptional service increase.

Nick was amazing and told us the story with Tory and Ryan and how they started the brewery. We are totally fans! Beers are great, brewery cute and clean! Such a great place to hang out!!! Thanks Nick!!!

    Lindsey is the reason I keep coming back. Do they have games? Yes. Skee-ball. Pinball!…read more Do they allow dogs inside? Hell yes. Free popcorn? Check. Also the availability to bring in food. A nearby Taco spot? YES. Bike parking? Car parking? Yes and double yes. Nice outdoor space on those warm days? Yes and it's properly shaded too. Win win. Always a new beer on Fridays. Lifetime mug club membership for $75 bucks. Video game tournaments a la SNES and N64 happen too in addition to pinball tournaments. But it's a friendly place with good service and they remember you. Not even as a regular but as someone that pops in a few times a month if that. Fan of Star Wars or Star Trek? They've got that too. Amazing art all over courtesy of Ashley the forever resident artist. It's a fun hidden gem that anytime I've referred someone they always say, "Wow! I didn't even know this spot existed/was here." Ambiance in spades. Rotating tap comedy pops up a few times a month too. Different vibe but still the same legit location. Shout out to Lindsey for being so friendly, for her excellent beer knowledge, and customer service. Definitely a spot to visit. Lagers, seltzers, the occasional sour, always a stout on, and a healthy flagship hoppy rotation.

Fresh brewed beers (right there on-sight) with occasional guest brews and seasonal small batch flavors too! They also rotate seasonal cocktails and there are some drinks I can't resist (and I'm normally not a drinker!). Live music FOR FREE on the amazing patio. Bowling on their original vintage Paramount Bowling lanes. Artwork and murals inside and out (and available to purchase too) that hides so many images that I'm always finding something new every time I look at them. And of course the e-bike shop with some unique and very cool bikes you won't find anywhere else. I'm sure I could keep going.... What can I say....I love this place!

They have a nice selection of cocktails and a full menu with snacks and dinners/meals. I got two of the limeade cocktails - good, though a little sweet. My friend and I later shared the pretzels bites (super tasty) and the general tso's cauliflower (I liked the sauce though it didn't quite taste like general tso's). The bowling itself was fun - everyone playing was nice and not super competitive. I was jealous of other teams' matching shirts! Bowling area was clean and I liked the comfortable couchy type seats vs. hard plastic seats.
