The Rose is very fun, been serving booze since 1859...lots of history and a few ghosts apparently.
another personal favorite right now:
as for breweries there's:
1. Coors
2. Golden City
3. Mountain Toad
4. Cannon Ball Creek
and the new kid:
5. Barrels and Bottles
BUT the true winner is:
the Goldenmoon Speakeasy.... http://www.goldenmoonspeak.com/
I have gotten so wasted there I couldn't talk.
