An Update. Old Chicago is open again! at least the one at 120th and Colorado. I spoke with an employee briefly and she said they found an investor that gave them enough to stay open for a while, but they don't do enough business they will likely close again. I like the place. I'd like to see it stay. If you don't that's fine. I just wanted to let people know cause I had to stumble across them driving through the parking lot. Please repost and cross post to other platforms to get the word out if your are so inclined. If not sorry to bother you.

My family I went to dinner there today. First I have always loved Old C’s since I was a kid. We walk into the one on Colorado BLVD in Denver. The host a young kid brought us way back - I mean to the last table in far far back where no one was. I was a little thrown by that. Our waiter was nice however just smiling, does not address a patrons concerns at times. The table was bare. We had to ask for slat and pepper, not to our waiter though some other workers there that we’re cleaning menus by us. Honestly we were so far back that the waiter only checked on us a few times. Our salads came out same time as our pizza, we order them separate as a starter. The food was cold extremely. I wish I could know on how to upload photos of our food - hence we didn’t eat much of it at all. I would so post them. We had to ask for cheese and crushed peppers that time we requested from the waiter. Overall I am just extremely appalled that during this time when businesses, need the walk in customers that the service was that poor. The lack of details was missing, the table was not set, the food was served cold, the table was not cleaned - we wiped it with our hand wipes. Knowing this outbreak is going on. Even after all that tipped over 20% and paid over 100 worth for honestly disappointment. The service in which we received today March 15th is the reason we will never be back. Also please just know service should never crumble even is there is a lot going on today in the world.

Back in the day Old Chicago offered a deep dish pizza with plenty of toppings. Not so much now. I spent $60.00 on two large pizzas with about 4 toppings each, including extra cheese. Here's what I got: Each slice had 1-2 small sausage pieces (I'm talking about the size of a marble). The rest of the toppings were scant and the extra cheese I paid for was not apparent (If that's their idea of extra cheese, I hate to see what normal cheese is---nonexistent?). I am very disappointed in their product. Quality was ok but if you want to pay $60.00 for mostly a mouthful of thick crust, buy yourself an hour massage. Your money will be better spent. I just want to add: I rarely review anything, as I am too busy to bother, but this is a rip-off.

I hadn't been to an Old Chicago in years... With so many great local options, who needs a chain? But the Colorado Blvd location really hit the spot for lunch with an old friend. Even though it's busy, they had enough parking and it wasn't unpleasantly noisy. The price is tough to beat: $7.99 for a personal pizza and unlimited salad (I had both the garden and Cesar salads).

I have come here so often over the years. It has been here forever. Most recently I met a friend and it just happened to be trivia night. They do trivia every Tuesday at 8pm and it is so much fun! Since then we have been coming more. For food, I would stick with apps and pizza. Their wings are AMAZING! I get buffalo style extra crispy and could eat those all day! The last time I had a burger it was not the best quality. When I saw its sad soggy existence smooshed onto my plate, I took a bite and knew I wouldn't be ordering that guy again. Lastly, the most important thing, the beer list! Old Chicago is known for having an extensive beer list for on-tap beers. I like all of the Colorado draft options. This location, in particular, feels like a neighborhood staple, which helps me get over the fact that it is a chain. It is a nice dark little centrally locations pub that is good to grab a drink with friends.

Been here a bunch of times. It’s fine. Would strongly recommend against ordering online. We did and it said it would be ready at 6:25 (about a 25 minute wait). Sat in restaurant for an additional 25 minutes waiting for food. Total wait time, almost 50 minutes. Won’t do that again.

By far my favorite! The staff is always great and their food is always on point. It's divided very nicely so you have a bar and high tables area and plenty of regular tables and booths throughout. Perfect place for watching games or simply hanging out with friends. Very recommended.

Cool place, nice nice service, but I found hair in my marinara and there was something crusted onto my friends beer. It looked like someone's upper lip had come off around the rim of the cup like it was never washed. Lost my appetite.

Always great late night food and service by the staff. Their wings are some of the best around! Have been here a dozen times and will keep coming back.
Amazingly consistent, personable, efficient service staff. One of the greatest afternoon and late night happy hours in town. Excellent, indulgent, delicious food.

Very friendly staff and fantastic food. The service was quick and didn't feel rushed at all. The best wings I've had since moving to Denver! My husband enjoyed the beers he tried and the cocktail I was served was pretty good (I don't drink much so I can't say anything of import other than I liked it). We will definitely return for another date night.

Everytime were in town for business we stay in the hotel right around the corner so love to eat here for dinner. They have amazing food! Their mac and cheese with beer cheese was probably the best thing I've ever tasted! I explained to the bar tender what I liked and he brought something that catered to my taste. I of course will definitely be returning as they always treat us wonderfully.

The Mac and cheese was very bland, as was the manicotti. The pineapple juice was good. Caesar dressing was super sweet & off. I ordered delivery through Postmates. Garlic bread was missing. Pizza was too doughy, not better than dominos. Nothing close to being authentic.

The absolutely worst personal pizza I have ever had. I have had better frozen pizza from a gas station than this pizza. The kicker, it was over $13! I paid $13 for a crappy frozen pizza! I feel like a moron. The only reason I'm not giving them a 1 star is because the pepperoni pizza rolls were fantastic.
