Whether you want a crisp craft lager, a sunny patio, a dog-friendly spot, or a place for kids, Arvada has options for nearly every outing.

This isn’t just about what’s pouring from the taps. It’s about the vibe when you walk in, the energy on the patio, whether the dog bowl is already waiting outside, and which breweries make it easy to spend an entire afternoon hanging out with friends and family.

If you live in West Arvada, you know the hangout spots are few and far between — literally. From Candelas, it takes about 20 minutes to drive to Olde Town Arvada, and it only takes a few more minutes to make the drive to Boulder.
