Yummy burgers cooked exactly how we asked. Lots of fries options, one better than the next. Brussels sprouts?! Shut the back door. Dustin was a great waiter AND bartender, making us amazing mixed beers! I would give it another half star, but seems they are in a bit of transition and working on hours and sorting out the space. A nice patio will be grand in the spring. Worth finding it. We'll be back.

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.... Look no further than the friendly staff and karaoke jockeys "kjs" at Thirsty's. This bar has become a second family of sorts and Kris and Dustin are the most attentive barkeeps in town. The karaoke crowd is talented and encouraging and the jockeys are as sweet as can be. Ask Kris to mix you up something special; she never disappoints! They have poker, games, and sporting events; karaoke is Thursday through Saturday nights starting at 8 and they take COVID precautions seriously.

Thanks, Kris with a k. It's a cool place for locals. Anyone reading this review if you have a history of being a b**** please do not come here.

Really good craft beer and food. Good music and attentive staff. Dustin was helpful and very patient. (the restrooms did smell horrible but that was not the staff's fault. TO THE OWNER, --you must fix this issue!!!)

Kris is super accommodating and friendly during COVID amid all their restrictions. I have been to this location twice, they are always super hospitable and friendly.

This place is a hidden gem. We found it looking for a great burger, and discovered a great deal more. Including great wings. Took a friend to watch the MMA Championship and had a great time. There's poker nights and karaoke too. Kris, Dustin, Chris, DJ Just Be and Chef Ian are all great down to earth people. I need take photos next time.

We ordered online from this place tonight. The google page shows they are open. Alas when we pull up the place is dark and obviously closed. This is not the first time this has happened. We’ve tried to support this small business a few times and this keeps happening. Don’t waste your time. They’re probably closed.

I was Told to leave and never come back after calmly asking why the establishment was not following basic COVID-19 protocol. I would avoid this establishment at all cost if your concerned about your health and wellbeing.Last night I stopped for a craft beer on the way home. It took me a minute until I realized none of the employees were wearing masks. Further observation realized no apparent COVID-19 related health protocols were being adhered to, not to mention, employees working back and forth between the bar and the kitchen; making drinks, handling food, plating the food, all with disregard to their unwashed and uncovered hands. (From where I was seated, I could see the activities of all employees and the entire kitchen staff.) Once I noticed the situation and observed the behavior for a few minutes I hurried myself along to leave. Upon receiving my payment info, I calmly asked the manger why the establishment was not adhering to COVID-19 protocol. My question was immediately met with a defensive posture and response from what I had already observed was a very excitable and under qualified individual. This is when I was told it wasn't any of my business to question their COVID-19 policy and I should immediately leave and NEVER come back.Based on the lack of inventory I saw, (A Tap room with mostly empty taps and no TV service), I can only hope this place is about done. Too many restaurants have worked hard to carve out a continued existence during the past difficult year. It would be a shame if this place were to survive with such disregard to the customers they serve and the industry they represent.

Great hangout! Lots of beer on tap and yummy appetizers. We live close by and have made it a regular hangout. Has that neighborhood bar feel and karaoke is always fun.

A big mistake. The dining room was freezing cold and we were seated at a booth with a broom leaning up on it. The menus were dirty , always a bad sign, so we just got an appetizer and left. Poor value in regards to that. Can't comment on the full menu but I won't be back.

Cool owner. Nice staff. Hidden gem for karaoke and good food(:

Food was pretty good and drinks were priced well. The staff was all very friendly although we did go on what seemed like “poker night” and the dealer for the poker game was very loud. It was to the point that we had a hard time talking at our table.

We came across this place during our time in Denver area. We were so glad we did. Best beer selection I've seen in awhile. Excellent food as well and the service was above and beyond. These guys were really hustling. Super safe and clean environment! Will definitely come again!

Found this place by happy accident. Better cheese curds that all of Milwaukee (fight me). A mug of Tivoli Dunkel is all the love I need in my life. Open seating and plenty of space of the patio. If I could camp here, I would.
