Caesar's Take
The slogan here is "business in the front, party in the back," and they mean it literally. You walk through the front doors into a premium running shop with expert staff doing high-tech gait analyses, but as you move deeper into the building, it transforms into a gorgeous 20+ tap craft beer oasis.
Best for
Signature move
They have a legendary, permanent track challenge on a marked 800-meter stretch. If you choose to run it, the exact time it takes you to complete the run becomes the price of your first beer (e.g., if you run it in 2 minutes and 45 seconds, your pint costs exactly $2.45)
What to order
They host over 20 taps of highly curated, rotating Colorado craft beers. Try their house-brewed custom selections or grab a pint of whatever local guest sour or IPA is currently spinning.
Patio
Backyard Social Patio: They feature a fantastic, fully fenced outdoor patio space in the back. It is entirely dog-friendly, equipped with casual lawn games, and is a prime spot to soak up the Colorado sun post-run while chatting with local athletes.

Good to know
Thursday Night Run Club Traffic: Their Thursday Night Run Club is a massive local institution that runs year-round starting at 6:00 PM. The taproom and parking lot will be absolutely flooded with hundreds of runners of all paces. It is an incredible community vibe, but if you want a quiet shoe fitting, don't go on a Thursday evening.
Known for the room
No formal happy hour. People come for the atmosphere, conversation, and experience itself.
Specials
- While they don't run a standard corporate happy hour, they keep baseline pint prices very reasonable and offer great weekly community specials.
