37 Best Bar & Grill in Denver

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

“Great bartenders and great karaoke!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“I always love a pb & jelly burger!“

“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! ♥️“

The food was also delicious we had the bowls and they were huge. I can’t wait for to eat my left overs tomorrow.

10 out of 10 would recommend!“

“Neighborhood place that's been around forever. Don't let the presentation fool you, once inside the space opens up with fresh air and light. Best $5 Bloody Mary and you cannot go wrong with the breakfast menu. Solid home cooking, delicious meal.“

“Love this bar! Karaoke is great on Wednesdays and Saturdays! The food is great! Love the staff! This is a go to spot for my friends and I every weekend! It can get packed so get there early if you want a table! With the construction going on, the best parking you can get will be the parking lots behind the building on the south side or the lot on the east. Street parking was great here before the colfax construction.“

“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.“

“This place is frickin cool. Was craving a burger and stumbled upon this very neighborhood-y bar with funny, shtick-y religious decor. I got the BYOB and tater tots. The taters were nice and crunchy and the burger was juicy and delicious. Might come back by for another burger soon!! Cheers 🥂“

“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👍“

“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 👍❤️🍺“

“Great BBQ and beer selection“

“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 Buffalo wings - Great service, good atmosphere“

“We stumbled upon this place with my wife just wanting to have dinner at a rooftop bar before we left Denver. Just our luck there was a Colorado Rockies game going on and vs the Chicago Cubs, so this place was packed, but we were able to get a seat pretty quickly on the roof. Service was really good even with it being packed. The food was great. No complaints we all enjoyed our meals. We ended up noticing that everyone there was a Chicago Cubs fan so we asked the waiter and he said they were the official Chicago Cubs bar of Denver Karma so it's crazy that we were there while the Cubs were in town. Made the atmosphere even more fun. The staff was super nice,matter of fact I had to leave to go get some aspirin for my daughter and the bouncer downstairs gave me great directions to find the 7-Eleven. Good size place they have a pretty large bar area downstairs and naturally the rooftop is pretty often to get a good view of Denver and you can see Coors field. Definitely would come back here especially if the Cubs were playing in town or on tv, probably on TV would be better because once the game started this place cleared out. In the really coolest thing is we ended up meeting the lead guitarist Chantry Johnson of The Cab, how cool is that! This is definitely a good hangout place! Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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!“

“Norma Jean was awesome, not only was she the bartender but she was the only employee working besides the cook, who also did an awesome job. Norma had a full bar of people and serviced everyone with a smile. She did an outstanding job running the whole bar! In fact because some customers saw that she working alone, got up and left. Awesome job Norma hope you get a hell of a good raise. In fact, she should be the Manager so that no other employee has to work like. This was Sunday, September 4th, 2022.“

“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.“
