    Foreboding Obelisk, Golden Roast, and Bavarian Contrarian
    Jennie K.

    While visiting Denver, my friends and I decided to visit a brewery, and Monolith Brewery was the one! There isn't a large private parking lot for Monolith, but about a block down from the brewery, there is a small lot between neighboring businesses that fits at most 12 or so vehicles. Any other parking would be along the streets. Upon entering, we were greeted by a smiling staff member who was readily available to assist in taking our orders. As we looked at their beer on tap wall, we were in awe of all the options available. I went with their flight of three: Foreboding Obelisk, Golden Roast, and Bavarian Contrarian. All had different tastes, where the Foreboding Obelisk was like a Guinness - the coffee taste, the Golden Roast was like a Blonde/ Golden Ale - which had a balanced and smooth taste with a malty richness that's complemented by a subtle hint of sweetness. It was an easy-drinking beer. The Bavarian Contrarian gave a smooth, crisp flavor with a delightful balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness. The ambience was very chill. There was plenty of seating throughout the brewery, and they also had some bar games at the back. It was fun to see the openness of the brewery system for the beer taps. Music is played on the overhead speakers, but it isn't too loud that it overpowers patrons talking to each other. They have multiple gender-neutral bathrooms that are kept clean and tidy. I highly recommend visiting Monolith Brewery. They have a variety of beers on tap and serve some food items. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit.

    This is fun newish brewery we stopped by on a little tour of this area. Friendly service and great ambiance! They have a big game in the back called feather bowling and we had a blast playing! Beers were tasty and cold! We'll be back!

    Our service at Monolith was top notch! The bartender was very knowledgeable and welcoming which we greatly appreciated. The only downfall was that we didn't like the taste of the IPAs or Sour that we ordered. However that does happen! I'd recommend that you check out the place and see for yourself. I'd also recommend that the empanadas are heated more because the inside was cold. The atmosphere was fun that can fit a lot of people. They also had a cute dog walking around!

    I haven't written a review in a while. Everything has seemed pretty blah. Stopped by Monolith on a walk around Denver recently. Presidents' Day and bidding time before a flight and they were open. The attention to detail is noticeable as soon as you walk in. Seriously....from the tap Handles to the far reaching menu( if you can't find something to drink here you are the problem ), to the fact they carry the excellent empanadas from next door, Monolith was such a nice discovery. Breath of fresh air from the service to the excellent craft beer. Stop by, drink a beer and try your hand at the crazy game going on in back. Well worth it!

    Great neighborhood spot! Very much a local atmosphere. The bartender was super welcoming and friendly and hooked it up with a couple of Great beers. Bonus: most beers are served in 19.3oz glasses. Big beers are dope!

    Wonderful neighborhood brewery with great community events (live jazz every Tuesday and board game nights on Wednesday). Dakota, one of the bartenders, is incredibly friendly and welcoming!

    Cool lights!

    Friendly staff who greeted us by name, 8 beers on tap with a good variety of styles. And also offered some guest taps from other breweries. They had various empanadas from Maria's. Large taproom with a cool mural painted on the main wall. Recommend you give them a try! Cheers!

    "Pint," as poured

    In Denver a couple of days and wanted to check out the well-known brewery scene in town. Don't waste your time at Monolith. Monolithic disappointment. Go to a real brewery. Staff should work flipping burgers. Place is strained. No sense of a beer operation, or true love of craft beer. Feels corporate. I commented on the head on the beer that was poured (see photos). He said it was a pint after the foam goes away (paraphrasing). He didn't do another pour, no apology. Total disbelief. Unacceptable. Go to a dive bar and have a PBR. You'll have a better time.

    What a great find in the new to us Platt Park area! Selection of beer wine and cocktails! Food for thought... Pretzels and empanadas to snacking on! Thanks Steve!!!!

    The Bad Ass Smoked Pulled Porter Stout was awesome. A beer that drinks and eats like a meal all at the same time!

    Was walking down S Broadway and saw a new brewery that I hadn't hear of. Stumbled in & it was amazing !! The staff was so friendly and inviting. The beer was delicious !! They had some very unique beer flavors (serrano jalapeño, coffee blonde, etc). They offer empanadas but I did not eat when I went. Monolith is so close to my apartment - I will definitely be returning !!

Loved listening to the bands, and exploring the huge space. They have olllllld school pinball game, giant jenga, gigantic cornhole, trash can sized beer pong, and ladder ball (normal size). They also have an original Nintendo with Mario. Seating a little tricky, be careful sitting on the benches, they move in odd ways. But loved the tables and chairs upstairs with the perfect view of the stage! Service was my only complaint- I think the first guy at the bar was having a hard time because they were so busy. I waited at the bar for a while without being acknowledged, then by the time he did finally notice me he just held up a finger. Finally a chick came over and took my order, but it took a while. She was perfectly nice, however, and it wouldn't stop me from returning or recommending them. The helles was a decent German beer with a good depth of flavor- I would come back and try their other beers for sure. Highly highly recommend and will absolutely be back for other events! Bring back emo night please!

They had a section with some large games like beer, pong and cornhole as well as a separate side that had a stage. The upstairs location had some tables and a ton of plants. You could overlook everything from the upstairs. The night was fun, but the place seemed dead for the most part. Kind of surprising for a nice weekend night. There is also a loud rowdy group that was kind of monopolizing all of the large games so we didn't get a chance to play those. Beer was decent although they do add a 20% charge. Might come back in the summer when the weather gets nicer.

The vibe is cool with music playing, garage doors that open up to the outdoor patio & a friendly staff. We arrived mid afternoon on a sunny Sunday for pizza. As the owner(s) say, why the name Black Shirt, "it's my symbol of rebellion- Johnny Cash". " Black shirts stand for rebellion, independence, and the courage to stand apart." And their pizzas do stand apart from others! We ordered the War Pig Pizza and a small Caesar Salad. The pizza was topped with a red sauce & a cheese blend, with cotija, pepperoni, prosciutto, bacon, sun-dried tomatoes & a chipotle-maple glaze - it was outstanding! The combination with these ingredients made for a delicious craveable pizza. I especially liked the glaze, more sweet than spicy. However, the salad was just okay, the dressing didn't have a lot of flavor & the lettuce could have been more fresh. Overall a great lunch & I look forward to trying some of their other pizzas as well as their beer.

What can i say aside from, they are THE BEST! I love their style crust! Thin and crispy but not TOO thin. More NY style which is my fave. The garlic bread was also superior. Get an extra side of marinara if you're saucy like me. I will say, the specialty pizzas get pretty pricey, but I felt ok when ordering the customizable. This is def going to be my goto when I am wanting to order pizza in. YUM!
