Trailhead Taphouse & Kitchen sits at the corner of 12th Street and Miners Alley, just off Washington Avenue, with a long Colorado tap list and a pub menu built for post-hike appetites. The restaurant has a patio it promotes when the weather cooperates, and Visit Golden lists it among downtown spots with patio seating for dogs, but the business's own site does not post a pet policy. Call ahead before counting on bringing your dog. Hours run late compared with most of downtown, and the kitchen closes an hour before the bar. It is a two-minute walk from the Clear Creek Trail and the Golden History Museum.
