The main draw of this place is that it is located in Coors Field, and it's pretty cool to get a decent beer at a sporting event. The being said, the service was atrocious. I stood at the bar for almost 20 minutes waiting for a beer, and the bartenders would frequently look at me and walk away. Also, someone vomited on the ground near the bar, and the entire time I was waiting not a single employee made a move to clean it up. Gripes aside, the dunkel they had on tap that day was actually pretty delicious. It's just a shame it took me forever to get it, and it cost 7 dollars. I'd probably go back next time I'm at a ball game, simply because I can only drink so many Coors, but if you're looking for a place for craft beer in LoDo, you're better off going elsewhere.

Sandlot is the Blue Moon "Microbrew" option located at Coors Field. Sandlot has a lot of awards including a small brewer of the year award from the GABF. Unfortunately, these must all be awards for beers they don't offer or for beers must beer enthusiasts won't be too thrilled about. Besides Blue Moon, they also offer hefeweizen, red, pilsner and lager. I tried the red and it was almost undrinkable. As previously mentioned, prices here are higher than normal due to it being located in the ballpark.

Also has a smokehouse that smelled awesome, however, I didn't try the food so I have nothing to report.

As a baseball fan, I've been here several times on game days.

The size of the crowd here is directly proportionate to how well the Rockies are doing. If the game is near a sellout, you can barely move. Otherwise, it's not bad.

Like many other brewpubs, SandLot is in an old warehouse. There was a big deal about saving this building when Coors Field was built, and the architects did a nice job of integrating it into the ballpark. The decor is pretty typical. Lots of wood and exposed brick. The bar is huge, and designed to handle the crush of patrons that come with big crowds on game days.

The beer is good but not great. Nothing particularly creative or daring here. But when compared to what SandLot's parent company Coors is putting out, it's a good effort.

Prices on game days are criminal. $6.75 for a pint is a lot to ask. Sandlot is in a Major League ballpark, however. So extravagant concessions prices are the norm, not the exception. $3.75 CrackerJack anyone?
