    Great time with friends! We came for trivia and good company and we got that. Plus some delicious beer! Bar tenders were nice and the Monday night trivia was a blast! Its a little loud but still fun. Kids and families welcome!

    It's hard to believe Cheluna is about to celebrate their 10th birthday next year! They are incredibly consistent at making great beer and creating a community oriented atmosphere. Cheluna Brewing is located inside of Aurora's crown jewel, Stanley Marketplace. They're situated indoors near the west entrance in between Stanley Beer Hall and Sweet Cow. Owned by a lovely husband and wife duo, this place has become a fixture of Stanley Marketplace over the years. One of the best parts is that you can take your beer outdoors or even roam around the rest of the market with it. In turn, I think this what the only "downside" of Cheluna is; the fact that I've never sat inside the tasting room for a beer. It always feel a bit transactional because we take our beers and run, if you will. My go to's are the kolsch, cold IPA (GABF silver), and Mexican lager. The latter they serve with a lime and it's delightful. I'm really glad Cheluna is still kicking after a damn near decade in operation. They're definitely one of the most consistent options in the entire market. Support family owned spots, especially breweries, they need us right now!

    Great beer and good service! They even offer non-alcoholic options, which is a nice touch. A great stop while shopping at the marketplace

    Great beer. On of the least expensive flights I've had in CO (been to 26 breweries). Friendly, efficient staff. Pizza looks good, I didn't get one. Inside the Stanley building. Free parking.

    I've done previous reviews on this lovely spot, but wanted to add a review specifically for their private event space. We've rented their mezzanine several times in the last five years for private events, and the staff and owners are SO great to work with. Our most recent event was a family party with 100+ people coming and going. They added cocktail tables out on the balcony and lots of chairs and tables to accommodate our large group. We also had tables set up for the food that we brought in (a big DIY charcuterie/grazing table). It was the perfect space for our gathering and everyone commented on what a festive place it was.

    Cabo Coconut Lime Sour
    Erin S.

    Have been a couple of times before this review and still have to say, Cheluna is a great place to get some home brewed beers. While I am not a beer drinker by any means, I did give the Cabo Coconut Lime Sour a try. At Cheluna, they cater to many different tastes and offer hard seltzers as well as sangria and margaritas in addition to a wide array of beers. The Cabo Coconut Lime Sour was a collab with another brewing company. This was a good selection for me as a novice brewery goer. Cheluna is located in the center of Stanley Marketplace and is hard to miss. Cheluna does not have any food, save a few snacks, but you are welcome and encouraged to bring in food from one of the many vendors in Stanley Marketplace or from wherever really. Cheluna also has live music on most Friday evenings. It is a happening place. The employees are very kind and do a great job at recommendations for the newbies. Will go again and again I am sure of it!

    Coconut bomb
    Jessica O.

    This is a great brewery to check out if you like beers with more fruity hints. I absolutely loved their coconut bomb beer. I also got their sangria hard seltzer. That one I was expecting more from. It just was not as tasty as I had expected. I also tried their blonde ale. This was good! The staff were attentive and quickly helped us. Great atmosphere while we were there. They had a drummer and a saxophone player jamming out! It has two floors so plenty of seating for anyone coming in. Tip: You can also get their beers to go and walk around the rest of the market! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Stanley Market!

    Been to Stanley Market tons of times over the years but had not tried Cheluna until recently and ended coming back a week later. I thought it was hard to compete with the Stanley Beer Hall located immediately next to them but I found their beer and seltzer top notch and more importantly, cheaper than their next neighbors beers. Good mix of Year-Round and Season choices. My favorite was the Orizaba IPA that received recognition from Great American Beer Festival. They had sports on a couple tvs and when we came back on a Saturday night, they had a live band. They allow you to bring your own food into the place and with so many choices in Stanley, this is a great place for a meal and beer.

    The absolutely wonderful Lowrider Mexican Lager!
    Alden C.

    Cheluna Brewing Company probably had one Mexican Lager that was probably my favorite on a recent trip to Colorado. After a string of breweries and a string of Mexican Lagers at some of them the one I had here at Cheluna was the most memorable. The Lowrider Mexican Lager is what I had and I could have easily have had more than one it was so good. I also really liked the atmosphere and the shopping center it was in. The whole experience was just great! Flavor highlights with the beer that I had a clean, crisp flavor with a touch of breadiness. It was subtle and smooth as well. Sometimes having a "subtle" feature can make other ingredients too watered down and not well balanced but that was absolutely not the case here at all. I'd love to return when time allows to get that Lager again at least but also explore the untried beer options.

    First let me start by saying I love to travel and find breweries that I'm in love with and Cheluna is one of them. I didn't even realize they were inside the Stanley Marketplace but I'm glad I found them. My boyfriend and I waited for them to open since we did get there early. We were the first ones inside so we sat at the bar and got a flight. Most people have a beer style they gravitate too, mine being blondes, sours, hefes, and saisons. There wasn't one beer here I didn't love. ANY STYLE. The flight came with 6 beers. I got the Coco-Xoco, salted caramel Vienna lager, chupa guava, chilango, pink flamingose, and snowbird Hefeweizen. All of them had punchy flavors, smooth body style, and really just hit the nail on the head with what I want from my beers. They were so enjoyable to drink. The interior was cute, I loved the bright colors and murals. Cheluna was a joy to experience. Their merchandise was great as well. The bartender was friendly, he recommended we mix the chocolate stout with the salted caramel Vienna lager and that was incredible! You can't go wrong coming here!

    Fun spot with interesting beers and really cool vibe. Staff is so nice and offers insight and tastings to find the right drink for you!

    Visited this past weekend after a week long road trip in the mountains. We hadn't been in the city and the Stanley was recommended. We figured a beer sounded great and walked into this place. We were immediately greeted with a warm smile from Ervin (hope the spelling is right). He was so friendly and welcome and came right over as we took seats at the bar. The vibrant colors were nice and a wonderful selection of beers. I opted for the michelada and my husband chose their award winning Luna Nueva Lager. He loved the Luna Nueva but man oh man - the michelada was the real winner. In Texas, we have great micheladas but the michelada here was INCREDIBLE! BETTER THAN ANY MICHELADA I'VE EVER HAD! We were a little sad they didn't have chapulines to try but gives us a reason to return one day. This was a wonderful treat for us - hit all 3 marks - great service, great setting, great beer! Check this place out next time you're at the Stanley.

The outdoor patio is spacious, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying Colorado's nice weather with friends or coworkers. We ordered a variety of shareable dishes, including the giant pretzel, loaded fries, fried pickles, hummus, wings, and grilled broccolini. My favorite was definitely the loaded fries--crispy, cheesy, topped with bacon and jalapeños, and packed with flavor. I'd happily order those again. The giant pretzel was great for sharing, and the hummus plate was a nice lighter option. The grilled broccolini was also surprisingly good. The only dish that didn't quite hit the mark for me was the wings. They had good flavor but were a little dry. Overall, the food was good, but nothing that really stood out as unforgettable. That said, the atmosphere is what makes this place worth visiting. It's the kind of spot I'd come back to for a sunny afternoon, drinks, and catching up with friends or coworkers.
