Went because of the great reviews, left because of the service. Just an awful experience overall, and honestly the worst service we had during our entire week in Colorado. We were looking for a quick bite in Golden and unfortunately ended up at Miners Saloon. After seating ourselves, our server took his sweet time making his way over. We ordered the charcuterie board and the whipped ricotta, the former wildly overpriced. The charcuterie board was fine, nothing to write home about. The ricotta, though, was missing in action (we never got it), just like our server, who never once checked on us after taking our order. I think he said maybe three words to us the entire time we were there. We left hungry, frustrated, and disappointed by the service (or lack thereof). read more

My wife and I stopped in the Miners Saloon for a small lunch on a Friday. They offer a lunch special (1/2 a sandwich and soup) which my wife ordered. I wasn't too hungry and had a bowl of the wild game chili. Both of us had a pint of Coors Banquet. This is a really cool atmosphere and overall environment. Golden itself was very unique in a good way as was the Miners Saloon. Great service and a venue you will want to check out. read more

Miners Saloon - Wild Game Chili - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Make sure you go through miners alley to get to the entrance. What a phenomenal saloon. It says bar food but it's quite sophisticated. Wild game chili is sourced from an elk farm. Pretty cool. The bison beer brat was plain but still great. My fave was the French dip with a side of green chili. Definitely put the chili on the sandwich. Phenomenal. Lovely service. Amy is unforgettable! Thanks for everything. Cool saloon vibes. read more

I've been coming to Miners Saloon for 5years and they never disappoint. They specialize in links, sandwiches and wonderful soups/salads. That might sound like a limited menu but that is not the case. Their sausages plates are great way to try different types of meats from elk, duck, bison and boar. Their house mustard and pickled veggies give this plate a nice kick. If you are in the mood for a bowl, I'd highly recommend the spicy pork green chili. This is definitely spicy but in a fun way, you will have a nice glow after eating this delicious chili. I love pairing this with their turkey club as the avocado and chili goes great together. Great decor to feel like you are in a mine and servers are constantly checkin to make sure you have everything you need. read more

Love this place - even for just a quick drink. We ate here a couple years ago, but today just had time for a drink on the patio (before the rain). Great bar selection, exceptional service, and a thorough old-west saloon ambiance. read more

We stopped here for drinks before dinner and I helped myself to a little appetizer - the pretzel bites! I asked for extra salt and really enjoyed them dipped in the beer cheese. Their drink menu is extensive with tons of unique spirits to choose from. The inside is a wild west vibe and a lot of fun. They had diet coke for me but the drink menu was SO hard to resist. I can't wait to be able to enjoy myself again. We liked it here and would recommend! read more

I had a party here with apps, dinner, and an open bar. The staff was fantastic and super easy to work with. I got a ton of compliments on the food and we loved the big open front that let us feel a little bit outdoors even though it was a chilly night. Would definitely recommend. read more

Cold beer at the bar, good happy hour pricing, friendly service and seems like a bit of a local place just off the alley. We also enjoyed the jumbo jalapeño pretzel with a spicy mustard and a yummy cheese sauce. We will bouncing around town so just had one drink in the appetizer, but they do have a full menu. They have a bar and then separate seating with tables. read more

Don't go. Better places in Golden. I don't understand why this #1 for recommendations. The staff was very rude multiple times, just seemed like no one wanted to be there read more

We visited on a Thursday night and sat at the bar. The service was great. One female bartender who was training another female. Both provided great service. Drinks were great! We ordered the Charcuterie board, the Wild Game (Venison) chili, and the Bon Mi. The Charcuterie came out well before the other food so we had time to enjoy it. Really nice portions of cheese and a decent amount of salami and other meat too. House made pickled veggies, mustard, fig jam, and more with a thin, but sturdy, house made crackers. My chili was great and my husband enjoyed his Bon Mi. Perfect atmosphere for first timers to Golden! Nice music - not too loud. Great ambiance. We will be back. read more

We came in here late night for a Bachelorette and it was the only thing really open. We were able to snag a dip trio which was fantastic, and a perfect snack to end the night. We had a couple drinks and they were all made super well. The bartenders knew our party was there for a bachelorette so they came over and told us last call to grab our night cap which was appreciated. Chill atmosphere, clean bathrooms, from what we had good food and drink. Perfect spot. read more

This is off the main road but worth it! The food, service and atmosphere are absolutely amazing! A must stop if you are doing the Brewery Tour or just in town. read more

Super nice staff and a cool atmosphere inside of the saloon. We decided to try the Colorado Bison Beer Brat with Wild Game Chili. The chili was delicious and the brat was okay. We've never had bison before so it was a bit tougher/lean than we expected. It was all great and we ate everything. The sauerkraut was perfect and the bread was super soft. read more

We were escorted here by a nice local lady as we were traveling. Being vegan it's tough to find good food and music all in the same venue but this place was perfect for us. They had an indoor and outdoor seating area, a man playing the guitar and a great casual vibe. Craft beers, a nice menu and a beautiful setting looking up at a mountain. We had the chopped salad and a Lucious tomato bisque. The waitstaff was superb and very accommodating. I would love to eat here again on our next trip. read more

The hubs and I caught up with friends on a weekend day. The service was friendly and fast. The food seems to be pre-prepared which is totally fine, just limited in any modifications (more an fyi than an issue). I got the veggie wrap and picked out the onions, no biggie. It was a delicious veggie wrap and went well with the sour lemon beer on tap I sampled. Everyone else got a turkey sammie and we're happy with their selection. The space feels quintessential Colorado and had a nice view of the mountains. I'd absolutely come back again. read more

Great selection of beer on tap, fast friendly service and a very cool atmosphere. I didn't eat, but the food looked good

Fun little spot in a mining themed part of town. Food was good. No complaints. Service was great. Prices were solid. Stop in and check them out. read more

Nice off the Main Street Bar, great beer selection, the large Jalepeno Pretzel with Bbe Cheese and mustard. Pretzel served hot, soft and very good. Service is great, staff very friendly and attentive. Definitely a great stop for a beer and snack while shopping. One more thing, the bathroom is awesome, it's like stepping back in time. Instead of paper napkins to dry your hands, there are fresh rolled washcloths to dry your hands. Loved the experience of this place. read more

Great dog friendly place! love the food and drinks. The staff is generally great. We visit frequently!

Have visited twice, sat at the bar both times. The first time it took forever for the bartender to even look our way, and there was barely anyone at the bar. The male bartender was too busy talking to the guy at the end of the bar. When he did finally acknowledge our existence, I asked about a drink only to be talked down to in regards to my question. He didn't even suggest a different drink, he was just incredibly rude and condescending. I was so put off by the situation that I can't remember if I actually enjoyed the drink, or if we got/enjoyed any food. The second time we stopped in was this past Sunday. It was fairly busy, and there were quite a few people at the bar. Same male bartender, same disregard. We weren't even given a menu. The bartenders were too busy talking to each other to take any notice of us at all. We sat there for maybe 10 minutes (being totally ignored), then decided to take our patronage elsewhere. There's too many really decent places in Golden to be treated like this... Especially for no reason at all. We won't be walking into this establishment again. Two bad experiences is more than enough!! read more

The place is perfect for the Golden vibe! Excellent food, friendly service, great atmosphere...very casual and friendly. Great place for a few appetizers or a speciality food item like the wild game sausages or the green chili which was amazing! If you're in Golden, EAT HERE!! read more

3.5 stars. My partner and I came here and found parking in a small lot nearby. We walked over, and it really did feel like we were entering a saloon. Didn't get to see the indoors because we found a table out front. It took some time to wander around and figure out how table service worked. Staff members were a bit dismissive, but great that they keep busy! The reason I rounded up to 4 stars was for the food. I'll try anything that's akin to a hot dog only twice per year (generally don't like them) and thought the Chili Gourmet Dog (with wild game chili & Welsh white cheddar) was the perfect foray back into this type of cuisine. I actually really enjoyed it, especially alongside the coleslaw and pickle. Love the wide selection of beer and the neighboring whiskey bar. This was actually my first trip to Golden. Coming from a ton of big cities, I think I'm just not accustomed to the small town vibe. But you can't argue with the views. They're absolutely beautiful here, which is a main reason to sit outside. While the rest of the menu wasn't appealing, I'd come here again for the same combo of Gourmet Dog and IPA! read more

WASTED bar tenders... stay away from this place if you want anything other than a bottled beer.

We were staying at an Airbnb in the area and decided to stop in late one night. They were pretty busy but service was great! We decided to share the grilled cheese and the wild game chili. Both were delicious! It is a little loud in there but we opted to sit in the back room which was really cozy. We would definitely come back! If you're in the area, be sure to add it to your list! read more

This place is pretty much my new hideout and you can't beat their lunch $10 special. Half a panini with a bowl of tomato soup. Delish! I picked the Turkey Melt and it was one of the best I've had in sometime. Hot, grilled to perfection with melty cheese dunked in steamy hot tomato soup... geeze, I need to go get another one right now just thinking about it. They also have a Daily HH Daily 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm with $1.00 off draft beer and cocktails and $2.00 off wine. They do have a good sized section for outdoor seating but since it's starting to get cold and snow, I'm not sure how much longer that will be available. Pro Tip: If you have a larger party you can call ahead and reserve the back room. read more
