36 Best Bar & Grill in Denver

“Great place! Great people! Really enjoyed our time there.“

“Great bartenders and great karaoke!“

“Love Reivers! The food and drinks are delicious and creative. The servers remember your drinks and are pleasant and attentive.“

“we were in the area for a mini vacation (my sister and i). initially we were walking to the brunch nearby but as we were passing by, we changed our minds and went in. after seeing the cowboys game on, we sat down near the TV it was on. I asked if it was possible to change the TV behind my sister as well since we will be sitting across from one another. it was playing the Olympics races and nobody was watching (1 booth other than us and 4 people bar top). after it was changed, we ordered our food and drinks. a kitchen staff joked about the cowboys with friendly bantar before returning to the kitchen. shortly after, the general manager (I was unaware at the time) came from the kitchen and changed it again. I said excuse me several times to him and got 0 acknowledgement. the bartender shrugged his shoulders and looked away from me. I spoke to Anthony as there wasn't much time left on the game. Anthony attempted to talk to him and he said there were people watching the game. the game which was not put on until AFTER we requested the change. while I'm not one to sweat small stuff, I work in customer service and with 6 mins left on a preseason game, what's the harm? at least acknowledge me when I speak to you. let's come to an agreement. instead, I turned my chair around and waited to eat the appetizers sitting behind me on the table until the game was over (a whopping 4 mins) I don't get time to catch many games, was on vacation and wasn't being rude about it. i love sports and trust, I would've been stoked to catch the baseball game he changed it to AFTER the football game. and I would've been the only customer paying attention then too. so finally I was loud and thanked Anthony for his friendly demeanor and caring about his customers. I said it very loudly since I could not get acknowledgement when speaking politely and directly to him. what do ya know? now we hear me in the kitchen and have plenty to say. with music playing and food being prepared no less! I enjoyed the food. probably the best wings I've had in ages! the beer cheese soup was delicious. I enjoyed our waiter's customer care. without him, we would've walked out. food is top notch. caring about customers, not entirely priority. we don't visit often so it isn't a huge loss that we won't be returning because of one person. Definitely ask for Anthony if you do go!“

“Excellent wings and burger! We got the garlic Parmesan & buffalo, flavor was spot on. Service was good and quick. Will definitely be back.“

“Some of the best food (and people) in the city.“

“Great place. EXCEPT they need some regular tables towards the front. The only ones they have now is back in the kiddy section. I took a handicapped lady who can't use the high drinker's tables. The kid section was full. We were forced to go down the street.“

“What a great place to eat, great atmosphere fun employees“

“I’m not one to review. I always forget but holy moly this place is amazing! The food is beyond amazing. I ordered the grilled kielbasa with sauerkraut and fried potatoes on one occasion, which was off the charts! The Bavarian pretzel yes I know it’s just a Bavarian pretzel, but not this one and not the cream cheese garlic dip it comes with holy Mary mother of God. It is amazing. I will never look at beer cheese, the same again after having this,.I hate to keep using that word, but it is nothing short of amazing!! then the burgers, the burgers are just seasoned perfectly and I just can’t stress how good this food is at this establishment if you’re ever off of Broadway and Maple stop in you will not be disappointed!!“

“It’s a friendly neighborhood bar“

“Portion sizes are big! Food is delicious! Caleb R was my server and he was fantastic!“

“An impressive place to enjoy more than a few Drinks before and after a Rockies game. The staff especially Savannah (excuse me if I incorrectly spelled it) were great!“

“Les recomiendo 100% el lugar es muy lindo y acojedor tienen excelente servicio al cliente y la comida deliciosa los 🌮😋y Quesabirrias Riquísimas“

“I always love a pb & jelly burger!“

“It’s a great place to hold events. They’ve been great to work with as a place for our charity Beard Bout facial hair competitions.“

“Absolutely, hands down, a fantastic experience. Good food, good drinks and more entertainment than you can imagine. Leave the insanity of today’s world at the door… walk in and let your hair down, sing along and enjoy the freedom of having a great time with no desire to pick up your phone and see what you are missing. L I V I N G!!!! To the staff: THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! ♥️“

“This place is fantastic! Brock, Shannon, Jo and Grace take such good care of everybody. There is a real feeling of family there.“

“Excellent food and Wonder Staff! Schafer & Josh are the Best!“

“Love this historic spot... and, one of my favorite burgers in Denver. great for sports especially DU hockey and they have ca solid menu. Check it out!“

“What a fantastic place for a night out! The staff were welcoming and attentive, the menu was impressive with so many choices, and the bar was cozy and clean. The food was delicious and surprisingly low priced for large portions. It came out hot and exactly as we ordered. So happy Rocky Top came up in my Google search for “good bar food near me!” We’ll be back for sure 👍❤️🍺“

“A Denver classic. Some may say it's a dive bar and they are not far of, but wouldn't put in the dive bar category. Food is all around solid with a wide variety of choices and comes out quick. Big cold beers, full bar, pool and shuffle board available. Service is always prompt and friendly. Stop in.“

“We've been here twice now, mainly bc they serve food until 11P or midnight.
They serve pizza, for which they make their own pizza crust. My bf is picky and he loves the pizza here. It is good. There are a few TVs showing Denver and Colfax history and past businesses. There is owl decor on the walls. This is owned by the same ppl who own the BarCar on CO Blvd, so menus have some of the same items.
Thankfully, we've made it there on non-karaoke nights. There is a parking lot behind the bldg.“

“If you’re looking for the kind of place that instantly feels like your neighborhood home base, Doghouse Tavern absolutely nails it. Tucked away in Denver, this spot is the definition of a true local gem—unpretentious, welcoming, and packed with personality.

First off, the food is way above typical pub fare. We’re talking juicy, flavor-packed burgers, crispy wings with a variety of sauces, and comfort food classics like nachos, fish and chips, and loaded sandwiches. Everything comes out clearly made with care—it’s the kind of menu where you’ll want to come back just to try everything. Elena is the best cook.

The staff deserves fanfare. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you walk through the door, they create that rare vibe where you feel like a regular—even on your first visit. Service is fast, drinks stay full, and there’s always someone ready with a smile, a casual conversation, or a recommendation.

And then there’s the atmosphere—pure neighborhood magic. It’s laid-back and lively at the same time, with pool tables, TVs for the game, fire-place patio, and a crowd that’s there to relax and have a good time. The dog-friendly patio is the best and everything gives that authentic, community-driven feel that’s hard to fake.

But what really sets Doghouse Tavern apart is its local culture and entertainment. This isn’t just a bar—it’s a gathering place. Whether it’s karaoke night (which is always a blast), trivia, or just a packed evening of locals unwinding together, there’s a sense of connection here you don’t find in bigger, flashier venues. It’s the kind of place where strangers become friends over a song and a drink.“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“Well, what can I say? Nothing short of excellent, superb, and memorable. The snacks and drinks are delightful and best of all, the customer service is absolutely priceless. Sylvester is funny, engaging and serves cheerfully with a smile on his face. What a blessed experience! Don't just take my word for it, stop by and see for yourself.“

“Love the ambiance along with the food and music.“

“I had thought I was here before but it turned out I was not. My homeboy invited me after a movie and it was exactly what we needed. Juggalo friendly, excellent artwork, perfect mix of people, and the staff are on point. I couldn't come up with a disagreement with this bar if I tried. Highly recommended. If I had any concern, it would be that there was only one bathroom, for everybody, who said I will let you know when I'm out. Lol. Which is honestly not that big a deal. I'll definitely be back. I wish I took photos because the bar was actually pretty dope looking.“

“Cool unique bar experience“

“Great Wisconsin spot. Attached to their sister property The Rhein House. Get there if possible 👍 nice beer selection, combination of Wisco dishes and German dishes👍“

“Great BBQ and beer selection“

“-Great Buffalo wings - Great service, good atmosphere“

“On this night not alot of people I know but on December 17th they are going to have Santa and gifts for the kids hope to see many of my friends I still enjoy going to the boogie always show such respect un like the viking although lately none of the people who think they can keep me out of their have been around told them I'd be around longer than they were going to be born and raised I will go where I want when I want it's still America“

“This place came up in on my Instagram and I was very excited to go. Rooftop was awesome! Huge beer list and local distillery drink to choose from. Even the food was good. They had plenty of shaded seating and sprayers to keep cool. Bar staff was friendly and helpful. If you bring kids definitely go earlier in the day before it gets busy. We lived the logo and have a collection of brewery shirts, so we were pretty disappointed that they didn't have good merch. Maybe next time. We will be back!!“

“The only criticism I have is quit calling your appetizer jalapeno queso and guacamole! It is not queso! It is spicy or jalapeno pimento cheese. It is very good but most people will expect it to be served hot!“

“I really enjoy my time at the Kentucky Inn. The vibe is so relaxed and welcoming. They've got great bar food and fresh Walleye on Fridays. The staff is attentive and unpretentious. It is a nice contrast to so many of the newer bars popping up in town.“
