Aurora
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Aurora, Colorado
Aurora, Colorado's craft beer scene has a real anchor in Stanley Marketplace, a former aviation manufacturing facility on the Aurora-Denver border that's been converted into a market hall with its own brewery and community events space. BarFinder lists 127 venues across the city, led by sports bars, classic bars, and breweries - including real local spots like Haykin Family Cider and A Bit Twisted Brewery & BBQ - with a smaller cluster of cocktail bars and pubs rounding things out. It's a suburb with a genuinely substantial drinking scene of its own, not just a Denver afterthought.
