This place sounded like it was going to be great.
When we arrived, thinking it was a family-friendly venue. We were given instructions on how things worked around there. They have this automatic charge bracelet that you swipe all your orders to, and it automatically charges your card . Once you're ready to leave, you just leave, and your receipt will be texted to you.
We questioned the automatic 20% service charge for a self-service place, and we were told it's a voluntary 20%.
We made our way to the outdoor patio area and couldn't find any shaded areas to sit, so we had to sit in the direct sun which wouldn't had been that bad if we didn't have our little niece with us and the other kids at a few of the nearby tables were sitting under the tables in order to get some shade.
The outdoor stage was large enough for the bands and a large outdoor screen, but it didn't offer any entertainment for the outside guests.
It was time to order our beverages. We went inside to order our drinks. You are able to sample their beverages. My sister-in-law ordered a margarita that was about the size of a double shot glass that cost about $11. And for a brewhouse, we were expecting a larger craft beer selection, so after a few samples, we just settled for a pitcher of White Rascal. The food was the same brewhouse stuff, hamburgers, hot dogs, wings, and pizza. All this was self-service.
It was Bingo day, and this was being played inside. Here's where we took offense to. The Bingo caller had a gimmick, his thing, and that was a Mexican wrestler. The game must have started while we were outside having our beverages and food, so we didn't know what was going on inside. As we were leaving, we walked into the seating service area, and there's this guy dressed up as a Mexican wrestler calling out Bingo numbers and using profanity with children around. From the look around all the gusts this day, it looked like we were the only Hispanics in the facility, so we were thrown off by what we just witnessed, especially in a location and times like this where everyone is so concerned about representation and feelings. It was obvious that everyone there was fine with the mocking of the Hispanic culture.
As we checked out, thankfully we were able to change the service charge to something we felt was more fitting than the 20% they requested due to that fact that the only service this place provided was the pouring of drinks and making your food, the guests are the ones who do the actual work by placing and taking your orders to the table and clearing the table. We noticed that we were charged regular prices for two of the samples we tried. Our bracelet tab must have been too close to the reader and may have accidentally changed our card, so this could be problematic for those who don't physically check out at the end of their visit.
As you can tell with my review, we definitely were not happy with our visit to this place and definitely don't see ourselves coming back anytime soon. With so many other brewhouses here in Colorado, we'll go spend our money elsewhere.
