The Werks — Restaurant in Wheat Ridge

UPDATE: tonight it’s a Beastie Boys cover band loud yelling screaming the F word you name it.Ok, fine in a concert venue, but this is not. Unclear how that went over with some of your eat in customers, especially with kids, or with your neighboring businesses. This is a residential neighborhood and I called to complain, we are angry. Also was told the cops had been called. Clearly, we are not the only ones who were upset.They say they’re within the allowed decibel level. Just because you are, doesn’t mean that is the only guideline. Big difference. The woman who answered the phone needs to understand that people are angry. When you hang up on someone, you’re hanging up on someone who patronizes your restaurant. we aren’t just random people calling. We are people in the neighborhood who eat there, but never again! The caller might be a customer trying to enjoy their evening without being screamed at by a so- so band. Bad choice. Please remember this is a very small venue. It’s outdoors. I’m assuming the band is facing towards the neighborhood and the sound carries particularly the vocalist and the drum kit. To hide behind the fact that you’re within the decibel level is ridiculous. If you’re only concerned about that, not the reality of that noise on others, then you’re not a good neighbor to residents and your neighboring businesses. Also shame on the city of Wheat Ridge for allowing that to happen. Come listen to a band like that for 2 1/2 hours and tell me if that’s an acceptable decibel level in a residential neighborhood.

Outdated Update- sound level was much better tonight. Thank you. Fun band. So Ordered a Flatbread, strawberry salad and Reuben takeout Saturday all pretty good! Nice patio

We live in the neighborhood and we have ordered from the Werks several times since opening however never eaten in. We want to patronize local businesses. The burgers are good! And big! It looks like a really fun place. My main concern is the Friday night bands, which are fine, I love music, but I called today to ask if they could hold the noise level down a bit for the residential neighborhood and was told that they were allowed per city ordinance to have 85 dB maximum. Not a lot of concern for the neighbors just what they could do legally. She did say I could call back later tonight if it’s loud, but not sure how that works for the band playing and how they would have to adjust their sound levels in real time. That’s why I called ahead of time.

This is a very small space, not a concert venue. they’re playing out on a patio which is quite small. I’m not entirely sure why you need to blast the music for the customers, I’ve been to hundreds of concerts in my life In all kinds of venues. I usually can’t hear my music I am trying to play on my balcony because of the Werks music. I don’t know that I want to patronize a business that doesn’t seem to care about neighbors so that’ll have to be a future consideration. Unclear. Don’t think they quite realize how that sound travels especially the vocalist and the drum kit. I haven’t seen the set up, but I assume that the band is facing west. It’s already a pretty noisy neighborhood. I know it’s only one summer night a week....

Hubs and I finally had a minute to try this place just down the street from us. We have anxiously been waiting for this burger joint to open. First, the vibe is excellent. The space was way bigger than I ever imagined, featuring inside dining as well as a huge outdoor patio with comfy orange couches and fire pits. It's a great blend of retro bowling alley touches, natural wood log tables and benches and painted murals. The menu was a bit on the quirky side, so I got the basic burger and it didn't disappoint! The burgers are cooked to temp perfectly. They are def hand-made and everything was creative and tasty. It is not the cheapest burger in town, but it was a really great burger. We were super hungry so we ate the whole thing! The Paramount Pilsner was crisp, and it was fun it was named for the neighborhood. The brewery is almost ready (May). The staff is super attentive, and the manager (John) chatted us up a bit and was a cool dude.

We will def be back to enjoy it with...

A group of us came in tonight excited to try a new local place. Our lane broke down by the first game and got moved twice before we could actually start bowling again. We spent plenty of money at the bar but the bartender acted like anyone who approached her was a burden. She honestly made the whole experience a complete buzzkill. When asking for drinks, she would say that she had a ton to do and would get to us whenever and constantly rolled her eyes when asking for another drink. They didn't have certain things to offer that are on the menu and rather than offering us anything else, she walked away and said she'd figure it out. Staff did not inform us of when the kitchen was closing which would've been more money spent tonight. The lanes were dry as a bone as well. If you are looking for a true bowling alley, do no come here. Overall, the cosmic bowling price was worth it but it seemed like staff would rather not have anyone in the building. Super...
