    Thanks Dillion for actually explaining & helping w/ beer & food ideas
    Flip F.

    Dropped into Ratio Beerworks during a brewery hopping day with local and out-of-town friends. The location is great, right in the heart of RiNo, and the beer itself is solid (the Carrot & Elderflower IPA was outstanding). Unfortunately, the service from one bartender was so bad it almost ruined the entire stop. Here's what happened: we sat at the bar, it wasn't even busy, and one of our friends asked if they did flights. The bartender with the navy shirt covered in stars and lightning bolts sighs loudly, acts like it's a huge inconvenience, and reluctantly says, "I guess I'll do it for you." My friend felt so bad she even apologized for asking--which is insane, since flights are standard at most breweries. From there, he basically checked out. Instead of engaging with us, talking about the beers, or doing his actual job, he spent the night scrolling on his phone and chatting with a group of his buddies at the other end of the bar. On a Friday night. In a customer-facing job. If you're that miserable, don't clock in--you're the face of the brewery when you're behind the bar. The only reason this review isn't a flat 2 stars is because of Dillon. He stepped up big time: came over to ask how we liked our flight, helped us choose pints, and even recommended the taco truck outside (which we loved). Thanks to him, we stayed, ordered a bunch of beer, and still tipped 28%. Dillon is exactly who you want representing your brewery--professional, personable, and attentive. The other guy? A total embarrassment. Lazy, rude, glued to his phone, and only pretended to care once he saw us spending money. If someone like that worked at my brewery or restaurant, I'd cut them immediately. Customers notice, and it drags down the whole experience. Bottom line: Ratio makes excellent beer and is worth visiting, but your night depends entirely on who's behind the bar. If Dillon is working, you'll have a great time. If it's the other guy, brace yourself for terrible service from someone who clearly doesn't want to be there. Great beer, one terrible employee. If you see the bartender glued to his phone with stars & lightning bolts on his shirt, don't expect service--just wait for Dillon. Ratio: your beer deserves better representation. Dillon is exactly who you want as the face of your brewery. The other guy? Lazy, unprofessional, and flat-out disrespectful. If he worked at my place, he wouldn't have a job.

    Yummy beer, cool workers, good vibes, outdoor seating, dog friendly. If it's sunny and you have 30 minutes, swing in for a beer

    I said I liked cider and this is the drink that the bartender recommended. My friend and I parentheses (photographed) described it as sweet and a beer more than a cider. Very nice service and LOVED the outdoor area. All I wanted was some rocks under a wood table, and they delivered!

    Second time in here and it is just as good as I remember. Definitely some great beers, and one of my favorites, King of Carrot Flowers, which is a carrot saizon! As today is opening day of the Rockies at Coors Field they are launching and releasing a Mexican-Style Lager called Cityscapes, which has a great flavor! No food in here regarding service for food but you can bring in any food in the area. There is indoor and outdoor seating, it is very cozy with the heat that they'll have going but it won't be overly hot! Come check it out as this is one of the greater Denver Breweries!

    They had some interesting styles on tap when I was there --who knew carrot flowers would taste so good when brewed into beer? I liked the space a lot except that it was cold when we got there and the garage doors were wide open. Overall, it was a decent stop on our mini brew hop through Five Points.

    We love this brewery - was the place that my partner and I had our first date. The king of carrot flowers is my favorite and they have tons of outdoor seating which is great for the summer. They always have food trucks parked outside if you get hungry too. Only down side is they don't have many non beer options but not an issue for me!

    Allison G.

    Cool brewery with lots of indoor and outdoor space to hang out. Try the king of Carrots, you won't regret it.

    Mike G.

    Good spot to hang out and enjoy a beer or two in the RiNo. The Hold Steady scotch ale is still my go-to beer here. We each enjoyed two while relaxing and watching the world go by.

    This place is great! The bartenders were great, so nice & helpful! We're from LA & the bartenders were so welcoming & had so many great recommendations! Great vibes & great beer! If we ever come back to Colorado we'll definitely be back!!

    Ambiance: very spacious brewery, outdoor spaces both in front of the establishment and in the backyard, there is also an old fashioned Photo Booth Service: very fast and patient with questions and requests, provided helpful suggestion Drink: variety choices for beer, and flights available per requests No Shade - *** czech-style pilsner, average Photobooth - *** lemon blonde ale, fruity taste Handwritten - *** belgian wit, light Dear You - **** citra french saison, crisp taste, recommend King of Carrot Flowers - ***** carrot elderflower saison, the most special one, highly recommend Antidote - *** west coast ipa, ordinary Sparks Fly - **** juicy ipa, refreshing, recommend Price: standard draft beer prices, which costs about $20~$30 per person

    King of Carrot Flowers, Hold Steady, Fresh Hopped Antidote
    Cathy S.

    Went here for the first time during GABF. We were excited to try the place. The beer was AMAZING. We ordered the Fresh Hopped Antidote and the Hold Steady. They both were delicious, although the Hold Steady (scotch ale) was not completely true to form. The bartender accidentally poured a King of Carrot Flowers and said it was ours on the house. This beer had just won a gold medal at GABF. I can see why! It was not a style I usually try, but so glad I did. It was to die for. Totally worth a visit!

    You can throw a rock and hit a brewery in Denver.... but Ratio is a MUST visit now that we have been here! We came back twice in 3 days. Yes, it was that great. Super cute space indoor and out. Outdoor seating with misting units were CLUTCH on a super hot day. The staff was very kind and the beers were amazing. Stand outs were the Carrot Elderflower Sour and the Lemon Blonde. Just go. You're welcome.

    Very spacious brewery with lots of seating. Beer selection is kind of small but the carrot beer was tasty.

Tucked inside the Free Market alleyway at Dairy Block, this smaller satellite location delivers big on atmosphere. The tap list is thoughtfully curated, and the real standout is the space itself. The seating areas feel intentionally designed, cozy, and creative ~ and they rotate the layout every couple of months, which keeps things feeling fresh. When I stopped by, the main room was set up with comfy couches, lounge chairs, and bean-bag-style seating that practically invites you to settle in. I got so relaxed I ended up hanging out for several hours without even realizing it. It's the kind of place where time disappears in the best way. Shoutout to Joy, the beertender working that day ~ she was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely helpful when talking through the beers. Great service without being overbearing, which always elevates the experience. If you're looking for a spot downtown that feels laid-back, stylish, and thoughtfully curated, this taproom absolutely delivers. I don't get downtown as often as I should, but this place is officially on my "come here more often" list. Love this new taproom ~100% my vibe!!!

I'm not sure if I would have ended up here had I not been taking the bus; however, BSB was a solid spot nonetheless. Since we were here anyway, we figured we would grab dinner. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, the garlic nots, and a few slices. I love a place that does pizza by the slice, especially when it's just two people. They obviously have plenty of beer choices and a full bar, plus they did have one NA beer option (not brewed by them). The food was good. Service was spot on. The Brussels sprouts were probably the highlight. This certainly was not the best pizza I have ever had, but I found nothing to fault it for either. Pretty cool place to grab a drink and a slice. Certainly worth it if you're meeting the bus here, but could also be worth the visit if you're in the area and craving pizza.

It has many cool music memorabilia like CDs, pictures etc that we enjoyed looking at and talking about. They have a nice beer garden in the back with plenty of seating and a small stage. We sat inside though due to it being hot and sunny the day we were there. They also have a small case of to go cans. Their tanks are also to the side so you can see their brewing process while you have a beer! I also saw signs for fun events like bus to red rocks concerts, trivia and live music. Their pizza also looked delicious, but we had just eaten so didnt try it. I would definitely return to Black Shirt!

Still has a terrific beer selection. Still has friendly staff. I am still happy. 05DEC2014 It was crowded. This is why no one goes here anymore. Ordered beer and drank some whilst in vulture mode waiting for 2 seats at the bar. Five minute wait. Ate a delious pizza and drank more beer.

This is the BEST I have ever had. Very different. Slices of chicken breast with very smokey ham chunks in a dreamy cheese sauce with pickles. Yes, pickles. 16JUN2013 Fathers' Day. Walked in at 1415 and it was packed. Enjoyed great beers (3rd beer free!) and a 9/10 Reuben. Superb mango gazpacho. Drew and his crew make the best food. Great service as usual. Two kids (along with Mom and Dad) sitting at the bar. I hope they drank some beer. Still only 2 blocks from my house. 27FEB2012 What is with the Yelpers voting Hops & Pie as "not good for kids"? 1. All kids like pizza. 2. Some kids like beer. 3. Some kids like soda. I think Hops & Pie is great for kids and I see lots of them there whenever I visit. 08JAN2012 Why isn't it named "Hops and Mac"? As in Macaroni and Cheese and bacon, ham hocks, peas, IPA. Went on a Sunday afternoon (will I be happy when the Donkeys are no longer on TV) to drink beers and eat. Decided to "step outside the box" and ordered "Mac & Cheese" instead of pizza. This is the best M&C I have ever eaten in a restaurant and it will also make me step up my efforts at home. 18DEC2011 I arrive at 1347 which is 13 minutes before they open on a beautiful warm Sunday afternoon in Denver. There are people (shall we refer to them as "alcoholics"?) who are also waiting. When the door is unlocked (3 minutes early), 14 people rush in. At 1406, it is standing room only. What makes this place so popular? Could it be the Avery Brewing tasting flight? Rumpkin beer. Could it be the slice of the day: Cheeseburger? Could it be the excellent bartender service? Could it be the perfect bar atmosphere? Well, I won't tell. You need to visit for yourself. 05OCT2011 This time, we ate there. Excellent pizza. Very good service. 13SEP2011 making progress Free Wi-Fi. Always good. 31AUG2011 Walked the 2 blocks from my house and picked up an Artisan Pizza. Excellent. Super thin crust. Bursting with flavor. $2 craft beer in cans (6 to chose from) on Wednesdays. I really need to return and just work my way thru the huge beer selection.
