| Blue Canyon Grill recently
moved from one of the side
streets to Washington Avenue, in
the historic Foss Drug

comfortable, and most
importantly--the food continues
to be great.

"The Underground" and is a very
hoppin' bar.

| Many
Golden people regard the Golden
City Brewery as one of our
finest attractions. A visit to
the brewery is always
interesting. The indoor seating
area is tiny, so most of the
patrons sit outside in the beer
garden—in all weather! Their
beer is truly exceptional, and
justifiably popular. You can
drink it there, by the pint or
pitcher, or you can take home 28
ounce bottles or a refillable
half gallon “growler.”

The Old Capitol Grill is so-named
because the territorial legislature
(before Colorado became a state)
used to meet in this building. The
food is good, and the decor is well
worth seeing--particularly all of
the old Golden photos hanging on
their walls. The view from the bar
is wonderful, with a good view of
Castle Rock on South Table Mountain.
