    Joy made this stop awesome!! What a lovely lady! She was so kind, informative and helpful!! Cheers to you Joy! Great beers, & hard tea. We sat in a common space, and enjoyed a break from all the chaos of the day. Parking was a little challenging.

    This is a brewery with a great location in the alley of Dairy Block that caught our eye to check out walking through a couple days before. They had a decent variety of beers on tap during our visit, lagers, NEIPA, West Coast IPA, even a barreled aged stout as well. Thankfully due to being a Tuesday it was not busy so almost had the place to ourselves. Weather was perfect to enjoy our beers outside! What really set this place apart was the bartender who really worked hard to pick a beer my wife would enjoy! She let her sample a couple different brews and knew her stuff with details about them all. It's that nice extra touch when a brewery bartender puts in that effort! Wish we would have got their name but either way very thankful and would recommend coming here. My wife did end up being a brew she didn't sample and it was a touch too bitter but still would agree on the five stars and was thankful of the quality of service! We would return next time in Denver solely for that! Another brewery worth your time to check out!

    What a lovely spot! Right in the dairy block! It's the perfect place stop by for a beer. I got the octoberfest and it was spectacular!!

    Stopped by for a quick drink before we went to dinner, and so glad we did! I tried the espresso martini, my friend had the Negroni, and another in our group tried a beer. Overall everything was delicious! The person helping us was so kind and very quick. There is some seating outside, and I believe there is an indoor seating area that looked nice and cozy. We are just in town visiting, but definitely would be a place I'd come to again!

    My favorite place to lounge around in Denver! Located in a cute alley that feels like a hidden gem, this brewery is such a vibe! The beer-tenders are always so sweet and helpful, and I absolutely LOVE the lounge. There are plenty of cozy seats and the lighting is dim and moody. Would highly recommend!

    Westbound and Down IPA.

    Awesome spot tucked down a side street of shops. Plenty of indoor seating with some outdoor options and a cool leather seating lounge. Super solid beers. The hazy IPAs are right up there with the best in the state! Friendly servers, too!

    Another cool spot in the dairy district in Denver. I recommend stopping at all the spots down this magical alley. There were some good drinks here and a nice relaxing evening had.

    Great location by the Milk Market. They have nice seating along the alley way. Beer selection is great. Had a hazy IPA ( fries in the pic were from the food hall across from them) great place to people watch and unwind after strolling the 16th st mall

    As a beer snob visiting Denver I wanted to try as man at breweries as I could. Westbound and down was amongst my favorites. While only beer sold here in a small ally, we went back three times during our stay. Their hazy and west coast IPA's were awesome. Derive is simple counter service only and a small patio of outside seating and a small inside area as well, this is a no frills place serving awesome beer. If you're looking for good beer in downtown, here's a place you must visit.

    This is a hidden gem brewery! Very tiny inside a little nook with shops, barber shop, restaurants. I loved the logo and quaint look of the brewery. The woman sitting inside at the counter was so sweet, they don't really do flights but they did tasters in the standard glasses that she poured up for us. All the beer was great. I liked their sour and saison best - but that's just my personal preference. Any seating inside you can go to. Great place if you just want a quiet night out without the hustle and bustle of a large brewery!

    This place didn't have any food from what I saw but they have a small selection of good beer. It's located in a cute little alley, also known as the free market. They people in here are really chill and will help you pick a beer that fits you, lol. The service is great and a great place to stop by while you stroll down through the market.

    Good crisp west coast IPA. Good service. A little hidden and "low key" but definitely recommend.

    Cuban was burnt. Cauliflower didn't have hardly any sauce. Hummus was bland. Not a fan. For $80

    This brewery might make parking in rino worth it! My husband and I walked by and stopped in after…read morehearing the live emo music from the street. So glad that we did! 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!

    Came here for a themed night out recently on a Friday night. I haven't been to the space in a few…read moreyears and it seems smaller on the inside than I remembered. 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.

    This is a great pet friendly place located in the RiNo Art district...a brewery with craft pizza,…read morecalzones, apps & salads. 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.

    I have heard such great things about this brewery and people talking about their pizza, that it was…read moretop of mind last time I ordered delivery. 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!
