The Golden Mill

"Definitely will return. Trendy place located in Golden. I really like how the drinks are served. They give you a credit card type that keeps an open tab from you personal card. The card the you have to place in a card holder in order to be served that drink. They have lots of variety from ipa, margaritas, wines, some local faves. Next time I'll have to try the food. Great views"

"Came here as a recommendation from someone in Denver when we told them we were going to Golden for the Coors Tour. Didn’t know what to expect and when coming in there was a lot going on. This is a very different concept that could work with some adjusting. There is absolutely no service here at all! It’s all you! You link a credit card to a “gift card” style thing that is proprietary! Then they bill you, every drink whether, soda water, soda, wine or beer is paid by the ounce. It ends up being more than typical priced and with two small soda cups there you can easily have $6 for both and still not have free refills on soda like most places. You order food and have to give your number for them to text that your order is ready. We tried the chicken and BBQ food. The salad dressing was like water which I can’t stand watery salad! The other food we got wasn’t even warm. I asked and didn’t get much of an answer. Overall it’s a niche, I feel that it is too expensive for the value of what you get and lack of service! You even have to get your own silverware, sauces, napkins and everything. There is still a service fee/tip worked in to your charge even though you get NO service. The glasses also weren’t clean and I didn’t finish my beer since I found something in it. I wouldn’t return here."

"We came for lunch after touring the Coors brewery and this place was awesome. It was a sunny winter day and we sat up on the roof by the fire pits looking at the frozen river and the brewery just downstream. I had brisket and smoked ends that were delicious. My wife enjoyed the tacos. The beer selection is great and the ice cream coffee drinks were a delicious dessert. All around great food and great vibes."

"Went to Rolling Smoke within Golden Mill for a lunch on a week day. Enjoyed a mac bowl with honey bourbon sausage and really enjoyed it. The mac was seasoned very well, but the pasta was so overcooked it was almost complete mush. The sausage was absolutely phenomenal -- the honey and bourbon are both apparent in it. The cornbread was a bit dry but had a nice, savory corn taste with a crispy top that was a nice texture contrast to the mushy mac. Service was great, shop was clean. The drink wall is a nice novelty and this would make an excellent hang out spot for friends on the weekend. Considering all the effort this place has done with the alcoholic beverage wall.... They can't spring for a coke freestyle machine? It was such a disappointment to get down to the soda section and see a standard 6 dispenser. A freestyle coke machine would vastly enhance the experience."

"The space is great, right by the Clear Creek, observing tubers in the afternoon and later in the evening- some geese. The serenity, even in a crowded place on a Sunday afternoon, is amazing. The Mill has a few options to choose from, covering tacos, sushi and chicken, but not many healthy options. The wall of beers, ciders and wine, that you swipe a card for is cool, and the beers are nice. I ended up having the Aztec salad at taco al Chile, and with chicken it was surprisingly delicious, a bit spicy and fulfilling. I am usually worried when ordering salads since some are small and u satisfying but this one was perfect"
