The Well at Bradford Junction — Restaurant in Colorado

As a retired person with extra time on my hands, I was scrolling through reviews recently looking for new places to try. I’m going to preface my comments with this…We frequent “The Well @ Bradford Junction” on a consistent basis. We absolutely love our little local place because of its wonderful atmosphere and OUTSTANDING service! They always go above and beyond! We look forward to seeing all of their smiling faces! As I scrolled, I noticed a couple of reviews from a month ago complaining about the rudeness of the staff. As I read through them, I realized we were there when this happened. Let me tell you, the account of events did not happen the way it was reported. A young couple came in on a very busy day and ordered drinks. As always, they were asked for their ID. They presented out of state identification with questionable (in Colorado) expiration dates. The server politely said that they couldn’t be served due to their IDs. The woman became frustrated and verbally abusive to the bartender saying “She didn’t know what she was doing” and really pushing the issue. To a point that it was really uncomfortable to watch. Here’s the deal folks… Bar Owners and staff absolutely have the right to protect their establishment, their Liquor License and their community by being diligent when checking IDs. In an era where we are seeing more and more deaths due to drunk drivers, I would think anyone would appreciate when an establishment is diligent in this. I know we do! The fact that she and her boyfriend both left terrible reviews shows what kind of...

This is one of those reviews you really want to make because of an outstanding experience, but also a review you don’t want to make because you don’t want to reveal a local hidden gem that you absolutely love! We found The Well years ago and have consistently had a wonderful time there. We went in yesterday after a really tough day of caretaking my elderly parents. As soon as we got there, we were greeted with a huge smile from Caitlyn behind the bar! She took our order and we went and sat outside to listen to music. There is so much charm to their outside area. A cool stage, the smell of the grill, beautiful trees and wonderful people all around you! My margarita was delicious and my husband’s drink was perfect! We sat and listened to a wonderful duo sing and play, and my stress melted away. Our food was delicious (Wings and a Cheeseburger from the grill!), and our service was outstanding! Alex was always checking on us and making sure we were good! It was a great way to end the day! The owner (Leslie) was there and came over to check on us. She is always working so hard, but makes time to bring a smile to her guests. She has made a little historical spot into a local spot that welcomes everyone… Locals and newcomers alike. Understand… It’s not fine dining, it’s where real people go to enjoy time together, a cold beer (or margarita), yummy bar food, great music and some much needed kindness! Keep up the great work Leslie, and know that you and your staff are...

Went today to see a friends band. I have driven my this place many times. It was a little rustic but that's nice. Ordered a couple of beers after we were told to go inside to see the selection. This place should put a beer and wine list on the back of the food dddddmenu. Maybe a couple of specialty cocktails too. Its a older crowd and they were drinking. A little salesmanship would bring in some more money. The beers were nice and cold. The server with tattoos dropped them off and said nothing just walked away. Very cold. Ordered a couple of hot dogs. They came out with a nice char and very good. The young man who delivered them, had a great smile and told us to enjoy. He should train the cocktail server. Ordered another beer and the gal dropped them off, said nothing and walked away. As we ate our food we watched the young guy press out hamburgers without gloves. The kitchen area seemed disorganized and not ready for the large crowd. We had fun, will go back. It just seems that The Well could take...
