The Golden Mill: A Vibrant Food Hall Experience in Golden, CO

Love the self-serve beer concept. Drank a few ounces of Coors because when in Rome. . . Food wise, we tried the sushi spot and the bbq! Both were awesome! Live music and beautiful views really add to the vibe!

Food halls are the best... Especially dog-friendlly ones! We went here around lunch time on a Saturday (prime time). It was packed! But everything we had was great! I'll definitely be back! So, the way it works is you wait in line (if theres one) and get carded. Staff load these special cards with your credit card to use throughout the food hall. At the end of the night an 18% gratuity is added and your tab is closed. You can leave and come back within the same day with the same card (skipping the line upon re-entry). There are shades and misting fans blowing cool air throughout the outdoor seating area. People go around constantly bussing tables. There are self-service taps on the 1st floor and a few on the 2nd floor. It is charged by ounce. So if you just want a little, you can do that... or a big pour! They had all types of beer, selter, cider, mixed drinks (bees knees & prickly pear marg are a few in saw), and wine - all on tap. They have various sized/styled glasses to chose from including a salted rim rocks glass for on tap cocktails. They have water coolers with disposable doggie bowls also! To eat we got: *brisket, smoked mac & cheese and coleslaw -very good! *poke bowl (ahi with the poke spicy sauce, jalapeño, cucumber, white onion & avocado on rice) *beer (ipa, sour) We came back a few hours later for this: *ice cream (salted caramel oreo, birthday cake with sprinkles & a puppy cup!)

Beer wall format - good selection of local and regional beers. Found some IPAs and sours that were pretty good. Atmosphere is the big plus here. Super chill, patio downstairs, balcony upstairs, views are great. Food truck food was on point and everything was super clean and well maintained. Plenty of seating and if you’re in Golden for anything, it’s within walking distance

Stumbled upon this creek side restaurant while hanging in Golden pre red rocks concert. Very cool concept. Check in at front desk, give a cc and they provide you with a swipe card for drinks and 4-5 different food options including sushi, bbq, tacos, ice cream and another one … sorry didn’t get to that one. Sushi was the best!! Lots of beers, ciders, seltzers and mixed drinks so everyone was happy. Dog friendly with outdoor/indoor seating next to a running creek. Loved it!!

The only reason I'm dropping a star is the price. Beer is super expensive. They also charge 18% gratuity when you have to serve yourself. Everyone was very nice. It was clean and the sushi I got was delicious. I guess Golden is just an expensive town but $10 for a beer you pour yourself is kinda nuts. Wait, it's actually more like $12 after the forced gratuity.

This place truly has something for everyone! From food to drinks, you can bring the whole crew and everyone will find something to enjoy. With 40 taps downstairs and 16 more upstairs, you’ll find everything from beer, wine, and cocktails to seltzers and even non-alcoholic sodas. They even offer tap cocktails served in salt-rimmed glassware, a fun and thoughtful touch! The food menu has plenty of options to satisfy any palate, and the rooftop patio views are epic, a perfect spot to hang out in Golden. As a fun bonus, it’s located right across the street from the Coors Brewery, and during Happy Hour, they serve Coors at half price (the same price as a soda!). Grab your friends, head to the rooftop, and enjoy one of the most well-rounded spots in town.

Cool spot for everyone to gather. Variety of foods, drinks and desserts. Dog friendly. Misters attached to fans to keep you cool during hot days and the river running right beside.

This is a great place to go to when you have lots of people (or just two) with dietary restrictions, different food preferences or when you just want a night out. We enjoyed food from several places as well as just a little bit of cider (instead of having to buy a whole glass). There is a lot of outside seating and the restaurant can be really busy on the weekends and in the evenings, or can be quiet if you go in the off hours.
