Food scene
The Golden Mill is a fun environment for good drinks, good food, and excellent people watching. Located right across the street from Coors and adjacent to Clear Creek, this former mill and feed store has transformed into a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. The "Mill" as everyone calls it features a self pour tap wall where you can sample many varieties of beer wine, pre-mixed cocktails (Moscow Mules are Danielle's favorite), or water. Additionally, there are five food concepts also located at the Mill including BBQ, Mexican, Hot Chicken, Sushi and to finish it off NZ ice cream (sweet cream ice cream plus fresh fruit). Try to secure a seat on the south end so you can watch tubers and paddlers on the creek or listen to some live music.
