Caesar's Take

The Mayor is one of those places beer people eventually end up at whether they planned to or not. The giant tap wall gets all the attention, but honestly the backyard patio and low-pressure beer-hall vibe are what keep locals coming back. Half the crowd is trying rare pours while the other half is perfectly happy drinking a cold lager with pretzels and friends for three hours. Somehow it still feels approachable even with 100 taps staring at you.

What to order
Get the beer-battered fish and chips, giant soft pretzel, and whatever rotating small-batch beer catches your eye.
Patio
Huge backyard beer garden tucked behind the main building with lots of space for groups, dogs, and long afternoon beer sessions. Feels more Colorado brewery hangout than crowded Old Town patio.
More details
Signature move
Grab a patio table, order a couple rare pours off the tap wall, and split pretzels or fish and chips with the group.
Good to know
Parking near CSU can get annoying fast and big groups may struggle finding open tables during peak hours since they do not take reservations.
