One of our all-time favorite collabs, with one of our all-time favorite breweries, returns to our taps in time for fall. 🍂

We first brewed Prairie Steam last year with our friends at Riverlands Brewing Company in St. Charles. It's an amber lager that draws recipe inspiration from an iconic San Francisco brewery, with this batch pulling further influence from Oktoberfest märzens. An obsessive attention to brewing detail here results in big toasted bread flavor, with accompanying nut-like toasted flavors, caramel, and a delightful floral hop bouquet courtesy of HBC-1134 hops ahead of a crisp, refreshing finish.

Trust us when we say it drinks as beautifully as it looks. Stop in for a pint on this scorcher of a Wednesday and pair it with $1 crispy wings, we're here today from 3-9pm.

We've been dying to show you this months burger, and with El Mes Patrio here at least, meet Burger Libre. 🇲🇽

It's a quarter pound angus beef patty, smashed on mandolined jalapeños and topped with chorizo, melted chihuahua cheese, mini crispy tortilla chips, fresh pico de gallo, and a creamy avocado tomatillo salsa. A whole charred jalapeño adorns its toasted Turano brioche crown.

If that wasn't enough, it comes paired with your choice of sazón fries or sazón cheese curds, available exclusively with this burger.

Dive deep into our culture with this burger in hand as you play Loteria tonight, sponsored by our neighbors at Renew Hair Co. . We open at 3PM, with Loteria kicking off at 6:30pm.

Maybe it's the rain, maybe it's La Luna, but it's making this Monday feel like the Mondayest Monday. 😮‍💨

It's hard to stay down though when we're out here doing taco R&D for tomorrow's Loteria with Adriana! 👀

What do you guys think about 10-hour-braised smoky beef barbacoa served in El Milagro corn tortillas with fire roasted salsa verde, topped with cilantro and onion and served alongside lime wedges and charred cebollitas. Just like grandma used to make.

Loteria kicks off at 6:30 PM, but we open at 3pm Mondays through Wednesday. Stop in for dinner and pregame with us, we're here tonight til 9PM.

We're still in disbelief that August is almost over, but that also means that Loteria with Adriana returns this Tuesday, September 1st!

Our friends and Downtown Aurora neighbors at Renew Hair Co. are sponsoring Loteria this month, and will have prize packs full of self care surprises and gift cards for salon services. Play for the opportunity to skip those strip mall haircut joints and treat yourself right. 💕

As always Loteria kicks off at 630pm, but we encourage you to stop by early for dinner and to lock down your table.

This weekend was a blur, thank you to everyone that paid us a visit, including the 100+ cyclists that rode off those beer calories between here and our friends at Sturdy Shelter! 🚴🏼‍♂️

Tomorrow is Taco Tuesday and we're roasting fresh corn for these blackened spicy chicken tacos. A trio of lightly charred El Milagro corn tortillas hold spicy marinated chicken breast, topped with roasted corn pico made fresh with Lopez Farms corn from the Aurora Farmers Market & house salsa roja, and finished with fresh guac & cotija cheese.

Available tomorrow from 3-9pm, but feel free to visit us today too! It's industry night and we've got $5 drafts and $5 micheladas all day.

This weekend, we Relish the Burn. 😈🥒🔥

We love pickle beers, and we've always wanted to try our hand at our interpretation of one. Relish the Burn features an american lager base, brewed with dill pickle brine and habanero peppers. The result is a tightrope balancing act between pickle and beer flavor, with a punchy pepper bite in the finish that's incredibly refreshing.

Available on draft now, score a pint and a basket of tajin-dusted pickle spears and dill ranch this weekend for only $10, while these crunchy bois last. We're here until 11pm tonight and open from 12-11pm tomorrow.
