Best Beer Bar In Colorado: Romero's K9 Named Top Joint In State

Romero's K9, in Lafayette, was recently ranked as the best bar in Colorado and one of the best pubs in the entire country for grabbing a beer.

CraftBeer.com, a website published by the Brewers Association, revealed its annual list of the Great American Beer Bars winners across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

Romero's, at 985 S Public Road in Lafayette, was described by CraftBeer.com as an "oasis for beer enthusiasts and canines alike."

"With an affinity for philanthropy and a certification as a gold level sustainable business, this forward-thinking band of party animals has exemplified a new way to think about breaking free for a sip or two."

Romero's taps and cooler offer more than 70 options. The spot includes a popular off-leash dog park and frequently hosts parties for dog lovers.

According to the beer-based website, readers were asked to nominate their favorite bar in the state, and nominations were tallied by editors on a state-by-state basis to create the rankings.

“An impressive craft beer menu, a stellar atmosphere, and servers who their stuff are all the making of a great beer bar,” authors of the Great American Beer Bars list wrote. “With more than 8,000 small and independent breweries in the United States, great beer bars play an important role in the growth of local breweries.”
