The Local Drive

Ambience is great. Bartenders - not so much. Make sure to check before ordering happy hour drinks. They'll charge full price, and there's no indication which drinks are happy hour or not. So, they decide, I guess. The drink in the picture is called The Prickly Pear. It cost $15. You decide. Response to manager: We were told wine was on the happy hour menu (of which there is no actual physical copy, so you have to trust the bartender). Prosecco is wine. The drink in my picture had clearly been sipped and I did not imply otherwise. Odd you felt to point that out, as though you thought it would help your case. A bartender confirmed the $15 drink only had one shot of alcohol...for $15. The low ABV makes the drink very mild and drinkable in less than five minutes, if that. No standard $15 cocktail has one shot. Come on, now. Also, my parents were also told their drinks were happy hour specials but they were also charged full price. Its pretty obvious why there is no actual happy hour menu. Kinda sneaky. Not surprised your other low-star reviews also mention shady management. Also, anyone can see that I post many 5-star reviews. Why would you lie? Let me help you out. Here is an example of a good business response to my initial review: "Hi Krista. Im sorry to hear about the mishap. We definitely should have a happy hour menu that clearly states which drinks apply. We will make sure to provide that in the future. As for The Prickly Pear, it does cost more than other establishments and doesn't have much alcohol, but we hope our awesome environment makes up for it! Either way, we hope to see you again!" Take a breath and understand how to run a business.

I’ve visited many places in Colorado, but I was pleasantly surprised to find some of the best and most delicious drinks right here! Every drink I tried is 100% worth recommending. The service is excellent, and the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Outside, there’s a great patio with space for volleyball games, and inside you’ll find a golf simulator with a big screen perfect for some extra fun. It’s a great spot to enjoy with family or friends, plus there’s free parking, which is always a bonus! Oh, I nearly forgot, just ask for the bartender Ansel

The Local Drive in Aurora at Stanley Marketplace is fun for golfers and non-golfers alike. This lively entertainment venue features indoor golf simulators, a craft cocktail bar, comfortable lounge areas, pool tables, and sand volleyball during the warmer months. It’s a great spot to hang out, play, or just relax.

Super cool and enormous space inside of the Stanley Mall. This converted industrial space is amazing and has something for everyone. They have golf simulators you can rent and play with your friends or family. There is also outdoor live music, plenty of sitting areas to enjoy a cocktail with friends, an outdoor beach volleyball court as well as a few sets of Cornhole(a bean bag toss game). The inside decor is really eclectic with a giant light up artificial tree right in the middle.

This place is so cool! Love the setup! Came here with some friends to try out the golf. The staff was super friendly! This dude Alex was the one that helped us out. Recommended some amazing cocktails and beers and got us set up on the golf simulator in what seemed like seconds, it was crazy. Definitely will be back!
