Bright, open, modern space in the Southlands area, veteran-owned, and the beer quality really shows it. Did a full flight: the Honey Kölsch (an actual gold medal winner from the National Honey Board competition), the Amber (also gold medal, US Open), and the Dry Irish Stout on nitro (gold medal too), plus their Half Bent Session IPA. Every single one was well made, no weak link in the flight. The Honey Kölsch was probably my favorite of the four, nice and light with real wildflower honey. read more

Of all the times I visit Southlands, this was my first checking into Bent Barley. It is a very nice bar with a super casual atmosphere. The Kolsch on tap was a hit and our server/bartender very friendly. I met up with new friends here to attend a Paint and Sip event. We had a table off to the side which worked well in terms of conversation and privacy (so as not to disturb other patrons). The instructor was helpful and clearly demonstrated the best way to painting. We had a good time and the cost to the event is very reasonable. The only food available for purchase are the traditional bar snacks (nuts, pretzels and jersey). Preorder from Waldo's and they will deliver or bring in a meal from a neighboring restaurant. read more

Great Staff! When we went in Deshawn was behind the bar. He was extremely helpful and provided excellent service. He's hands down the best beertender along with Jamie at their main location. My family was happy to see they opened a new location on Parker Rd area near Doug's Diner. I dropped in one day and was just as happy. There's alot of room Tvs, food trucks, and great service from the ladies there. It's great they get food trucks over there. Really Sucks the Republic of Southlands Property doesn't allow food trucks....Hey Southlands Mall make an exception for Breweries. If it wasn't for this brewery most would not be at Southlands so much so Thank You Bent Barley for being here. The atmosphere at both locations is great, great meet up location at both. The main location is just more homely because it was first but drop in at both and make BLACK IPA A FLAGSHIP Beer, Please & Thank you. Word on the street is that the other location will be added to the Parker Brew Bus location, THATS SO EXCITING, CAN'T WAIT! CHEERS!!! read more

It's been a couple years since we have visited and it is nice to see they just celebrated 6 years in business! The brewery is situated on the corner in Southlands boasting great light all around, sports on TV and staff that are friendly and engaging. I really enjoyed their Cherry Wheat and Hefeweizen. The brewery is welcoming, spacious and clean. read more

Bent Barley Brewing Company - Lonely they are out here - Brewpubs Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I've been coming here for a few years, and have never been let down. I work here with my laptop and a notebook and it's excellent for that purpose as well. The bartenders are all fantastic, and really foster the right balance of professional and laid-back attitudes. Excellent on their part. The beer is almost always excellent. The Flagships are all great (my favorite is the Nitro Dry Irish Stout), and the seasonal taps are almost all winner too! Honestly the ones I haven't liked have almost uniformly been because of personal preference. Theres only been one single beer that I've had here that was truly not very good. In several years and so many beers, that's excellent. The space is quite open and mostly high-tops. There is a small section of 3-4 tables of low-tops though. Always always clean. I've never been here and noticed cleanliness issues. You can also order food and have it delivered here, or bring your own! Which is great! Overall excellent spot that I've recommended to so many people, but never quite got around to leaving a review until now. Highly recommend! read more

They rarely have sours on tap and the place is SUPER loud. Very hard to have a conversation. Staff is always friendly though.

Went to fill my 128oz growler and they said it was 48 dollars. Seriously? that is not even a 12 pack. C'mon guys. For something I have to chill, clean and maintain, while not even taking up space in your establishment. Y'all really need some help with simple math. read more

Great service. Lots of fun merch! No food. The taps seem to rotate regularly, the beers were all enjoyed and the regulars don't seem to bite. read more

Great award-winning beer, great service, friendly customers, great space. Two locations. Same review applies to both. read more

Saturday night wanted dessert but opted for a couple of beers to cap off our night and Bent Barley didn't disappoint. The location is in the heart of southlands and their garage doors let's you have the best of the inside air and summer fun. Plenty of locally brewed in house options but if you know me I need a hazy ipa and they have one of the best in my humble opinion. Murky, hazy , and just SMOOTH! Look for any excuse to stop by and enjoy a beer and friendly staff! read more

This is our favorite local brewery/bar to go to. Been coming here for 4 years and has always been great! Their service has always been stellar, their atmosphere is great, and their beer selection has never disappointed (the amber ale is my go-to). 100% recommend Bent Barley to anybody looking for a smaller location to drink good beer. read more

Definitely love this brewery. It's like an updated Cheers bar for all you old folks. Ha. The employees are friendly and attentive ensuring you never have an empty glass. The music here is very relaxing while drinking your beer with the wide variety of music they play here. None of the music has any offensive language at all. Very laid back while playing my Pokémon... read more

So good! Can't believe this place has been open for 6.5 years!!! I used to live in the neighborhood when I was in high school, but haven't been back since--I was pleasantly surprised to find out about this place. Really good beer, and the staff is very friendly. Make sure to try "The Britt" when you get a beer! Ha. read more

Great spot to stop in or hang out while at Southlands. It has the standard relaxed brewery atmosphere with a decent amount of seating and garage doors that open up to the patio when the weather is nice. Their Honey Kolsch and Coffee Porter are both delicious. Service is also very friendly! Would definitely recommend it to anyone. read more

Stopped back in after a long hiatus (2020). The Bent Barley IPA was awesome. My wife had the Red Ale American Amber and she loved it. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. The service was top shelf! Our server was on it. We still want to come back and bring some Thai food. Highly recommended! read more

Solid little brewery. Super nice staff. Love the spot with roll up doors and good seating. It also has great TV setup for watching games. They don't serve food but you can have food delivered. We see lots of ppl ordering indian food from Monsoon and pizza from somewhere else. They also have snacks on site like popcorn for purchase. Only reason i dock one star is because some of the beers are very mediocre. I loved the black ipa but wasn't a fan of the mango gose and some of the lighter beers. read more

Love this place! Great beer, you've got to try the Amber Ale! Servers are wonderful, Ashley is great and honestly, she's half the joy of going there for me! Everyone there, customers and servers, just make it feel like a wonderful place. Super friendly people all around. And usually a happy dog or two there! Great ambiance, great go to for beer fans! read more

Great brewery! We've been here several times and have never been disappointed. There's a decent, but not overwhelming, variety of beers - sours to stouts. The coffee porter was intense on the coffee flavor. The dry Irish nitro stout was smooth, as expected. Think a craft version of Guinness with a bit more character. The cranberry sour was not as sour as I had imagined it might be (I'm not normally a sour beer fan). Each time we've been here, the staff has been friendly. When it's nice out, a handful of tables will be available directly outside. read more

One of my all time favorite breweries. Staff is great, beer is great (the seasonal green chili kolsch is my favorite), you can bring food in from monsoon right across the street and there's usually a good game on the tvs or you can play one of the board games they have there. read more

Went here on 7/12. This was the first brewery we sat down at in 3 months. Tables were separated. Bartenders were wearing mask. There is a sign that says mask required to enter and need to wear a mask to walk around. but seems it's not serious, cause saw a few people not wearing mask when they got up or when they walked in. Beers were good. Good selection of light to dark. Cheers! read more

After easily five visits I have to say, "Yay! I'm a fan" of Bent Barley Brewing Company. Why you ask? Well lets break it down - Yelp style! PROs: ++ Conveniently located in Southlands Mall, Bent Barley Brewing Company makes a wonderful and much needed reprieve from the holiday shopping crowds. Because let's be real - we all need a drink after holiday shopping! Ha! ++ Being located in a outdoor mall means that there is always ample parking available within close proximity to the brewery! ++ The staff is always super friendly and love chatting with you about their brews, brewery happenings, and just all-around beer-centirc folks! ++ I have to say that I wasn't impressed with their beer selection when they first opened - but that has definitely changed! They have far more tap offerings than before and they are for the most part delish! ++ Being a fan of more "off the beaten path" styles I must say that I am loving their gose, saison, and chile beers! Recently the Cranberry Gose (talk about playing to the seasons) really knocked my socks off! That color - not to mention that flavor! Yum!! ++ The patrons are usually incredibly friendly and will often strike up conversation with nearby groups. Love getting to know fellow brewery-goers! CONs: -- They dont have a kitchen. Boo! They do however have many nearby restaurants and DO allow outside food in the brewery - so that definitely makes up for the lack of eats. Bent Barley Brewing Company is definitely a welcome addition to the growing Aurora brewing scene. Can't wait to see what they come up with next! Cheers, Aurora! read more

It was my first time @ Bent Barley & my husband and I had the BEST time. The beer is amazing- so delicious and fresh. The service is even more amazing.

Great beer. I love the IPA. Great staff. Nice to have a neighborhood brewery that is dog friendly.

Our favorite brewery, hands down. Love the people, love the beer, love the vibes. We are frequent flyers and don't plan on stopping anytime soon! read more

Stopped in here after a day of shopping. The space is great, music is on but not too loud that you can't hold a conversation. The staff is great and super nice. We tried 3 brews, their flagship ipa, saison, and a black ipa. All three were excellent. Made me miss having on point local breweries in my neighborhood. If you live around here, or are in town like me, stop in and get a couple pours. Time and money well spent. read more

Great to see a local business able to survive during rough times. Great rotation of drafts and extremely nice people. Only unfortunate thing is that there is no food but you can bring food in from Chipotle or other restaurants and eat, as well as enjoy the taps. Only thing that would make this place better is more outdoor seating available - great people and beer though. read more

Tremendous Beer! I highly recommend this brewery. In fact, we've tried all the breweries in a 5-mile radius, and, hands down, this is the best! I highly recommend you try a sampler and get the full effect of this brewery...try ALL of their beers! They are all delicious. I especially recommend the honey kolsh and their new NEIPA! read more

What a great place! My friend and I stopped in here for a drink, twice in one night! We did a drink, dinner, movie, drink. If they served food, we would have 100% stayed to eat. We were having so much fun drinking and talking we could have literally skipped the dinner and movie. Love the atmosphere Love the staff Love the beers They do crowlers and growlers to go too! And if you do want to stay and drink all night, you can bring or order food in. read more

Great service. Outdoor seating now b/c of COVID. Have to wear your mask at the entrance or going to the restrooms, but other than that you're free to not have a mask on when talking with people at your table. Love that it's in Southlands Mall. Shop then have a few beers with some friends! read more

Tasty mix of brews, ok with bringing in food. Fun to hang with friends - dogs welcome.

I come into Bent Barley about 1-2 times per month. The prices are fair, the vibe is like a smaller brewery/sports bar. They are putting in outside seating soon that will be nice. I enjoy their wheat and Honey Kolsch. Their Barley wine is seasonal and legit. The place is dog friendly. Say hi to Chris Olson the bartender and he'll take care of you or one of the other friendly staff. They allow outside food, and we order Monsoon (Indian) from across the way. That is the only drawback, but the place was meant for beer. Check it out! read more
