One thing that made me pause a bit was that most of their food comes out on paper plates. For the sake of ease, this is awesome, but I think their food is nicer than what should be served on a paper plate. I will definitely be back and I will definitely bring friends and family.

The beer I ordered was a simple lager and it tasted great with reasonable pricing. Service here was impressive. Even with how large the place is and how many people were there, we did not have to wait long at all to be helped and get our stuff including our beers and then our check at the end. Great job staff and managers! I will be back to have a few beers with good company! Cheers!

The interior is dark with cozy bar stools and tables inside for sipping beer. Bruz Beers (a play on the Belgian Bruge) has an extensive menu. I got the bartender Tim's recommendation for my first beer. It was their dubbel, which is a dark abbey style ale. It was very tasty and not overly heavy. I wanted to try one more and am a big fan of sour beers. The grape saison (only available at Colfax location) is tart and fermented with Gewürztraminer wine grapes. It was also very good with the right of sour and not overly sweet. The bar has some snacks for purchase like popcorn and meat sticks. I guess they normally have food trucks offering different types of cuisine. There are bathrooms just outside the taproom shared with R&R head labs and another business. Just ask for the code as they require one for entry. The parking is challenging as the bar is just south of Colfax on York. You can find street parking.

She snapped at me and said one tab for the table was all needed for the table. I kindly requested more firmly that I'd appreciate my guests open their own tabs. The server replied sharply that their policy required only one tab to be opened and upon closing the tab I could split the tab with my guests. In that moment I chose to preserve the atmosphere in front of my friends , family, and my 3 grandchildren and let it go. Upon calling the manager on Monday, I spoke with Lisa. I was caught off guard with her defensive nature saying, I was wrong as I should have asked for the manager. Again, you think I wanted to create that type of energy in front of my friends, family and (ages 7,11, 13) my grandchildren. We were there to celebrate my nephews birthday and to listen to J Blackburn. The whole situation was offensive. The server may have the authority to manage the tabs but not to define my worth and certainly not the authority to diminish my voice (as you did as well upon my phone call). Must all be part of your protocol. I made a reasonable request and the server chose to decline it. I believe my request should have been honored - although the server who may have been busy, overwhelmed decided to follow what she believed to be easiest on herself in that moment. And Lisa, your defensive nature during our phone call didn't help. As you reviewed my bill with close to a 12 beers you again caught me off guard with your defensive nature. Lisa, sadly you never communicated you understood my position as the customer making a reasonable request, and again made sure to defensively communicate we received 2 free refills of soda (for my grandchildren) and the Arnold Palmer refill I was drinking being the DD. I was not questioning the outstanding service I received from the server who collected my final bill - I am mainly stating you have a server on board who communicated horribly and rudely as a server. You have to know exactly who I'm talking about as she stood out as a disgruntled server. That is not my opinion but of those at my table. Lisa, you ultimately never credited the dozen beers (or partial credit) that I clearly did not drink nor was anyone left at my table when I paid my bill.

Had to peek in this bar to see what it was all about, I came in on a Sunday night so it was pretty quiet the open-ness of the bar is great and how it's designed straight-lines you to the bar. I love all the wood and simplicity of the decor. Bartender was super friendly and sooo knowledgeable of history and brew master. This place is definitely go to family fun if you're in BRIGHTON, they have a ton of board games and the craft beers are on point!

We have been a fan of Big Choice since they're days over off of 120th. Now in Brighton they have grown to one of our favorite places to eat and have a great beer! If you are a foodie you have to try the food at Big Choice! The pizza is the best we have eaten. The ingredients are top quality. Homemade breads for their sandwiches, fresh salads and a combination of flavors that you would find at a 5 star restaurant. Even now with all that is going on they continue to serve the best food and beer to go with a friendly smile. Thank you Andrea, Nathaniel and the chef! Derek & Sondra read more
