The Digs: From the inside, the Bridgewater Grill, located in The Golden Hotel, does not venture far from the sterile hotel-restaurant stereotype: Neutral colors, contrived upholstery and rectangular mod deco light fixtures illuminate the interior. But everything takes on a better view when you head outside to the patio, which looks toward the mountains and kayakers along the creek. With a cocktail in hand, we could stay here for awhile.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Denver. We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Denver.
The Verdict: Golden provides the perfect respite after a day playing in the hills. Golden’s happy hours only help to facilitate that adjustment. The Bridgewater Grill is a delightful place to sit back in the shade and contemplate life with a few cheap beers and entertainment provided by the regulars. The appetizers don’t cost much, which is the upside, but they leave our palates longing for something a little more tasty. The short ribs ($3) were dry and chewy, the fruit and cheese plate ($4) boring and generic. But if you’re not searching for a stellar dining experience, the Bridgewater Grill will have you happy in no time.
