Floodstage Ale Works — Restaurant in Brighton

Dropped in on a Monday night and the place wasn't busy, only 2 people working. Took awhile to figure out what to drink because I literally couldn't hear the bartender from across the bar the rock music was so loud. I just kind of made an educated guess as to what she was saying and ordered. Would've helped to have some kind of printed menu of what was on tap. It's not hard to do. Beer selection was good, jalapeno pretzel was good.

Stayed throughout the evening with a friend and had a few beers. Music was consistently overbearing and obnoxiously loud. We were on the far end of the patio and had to nearly yell to communicate. The moments the music stopped were blissful. Maybe if it weren't rock music with lots of guitars it wouldn't have been so bad, but dang people, take it down a notch.

We got some wings, which were ok. The grill was great, but there wasn't much flavor, so it was just eating grilled chicken basically.

My biggest issue was that they allowed smoking under the covered part of the patio, next to the outdoor bartop and entrance to the building. It was impossible to get somewhere to order without being overcome with cigarette smoke. I get that Brighton isn't Boulder or Fort Collins with the smoking restrictions, but come on. There's a HUGE empty patio, please sit somewhere besides the one place people HAVE to go to order.

I won't be back. The food wasn't good enough to be a draw and the atmosphere was off putting because of the smoke and overly loud music. Might be up someone else's...

I chose 2 stars because I do not like the word hate but one star would have been more appropriate.

I wish we had the same experience as everyone has posted but my first experience was very disappointing. We stopped by on Saturday night only to find two people working; I think two people were working but not sure. We had to go find someone to order a hamburger and a beer after sitting around for about 15 minutes. The person sitting beside us stated they had been waiting for 30 and had not been helped. We did locate the two people and order the hamburger and a beer. Received the beer but after 30 minutes never received the hamburger or asked if another drink was needed; however I did noticed that a gentleman sitting nearby had fallen asleep in his chair; we woke him up as we walked by only to see him fall off his chair before we left. One of the other customers went to help him up but no one from the establishment did or checked on him. This experience will discourage me from...
