40 Best Pubs in Denver

“Great pizza and wings. Fun for the kids and always wonderful service!“

“I had my birthday party here last week and it was amazing. The staff is great and extremely accommodating. Chris A. is a great host and very informative. I can’t express my gratitude for this experience. Oh and their drinks are fantastic as well as pretty!“

“It's our favorite bar in Denver. I grew up here, but only visit from time to time now. PonPon is hands down Denver's coolest bar, and it's not simply surface: yes, the atmosphere is exceedingly cool, but it's also extremely playful, and if you feel intimidated by the atmosphere, the incredibly warm bar staff will help you feel at ease. This is truly a sophisticated spot posing as a dive bar - you can get a glass of Txlakolina as readily as you might get a $4 Gennessee, or the best Japanese whisky cocktail as easily as a Mexican Coke or a glass of Four Roses from the 1970s salvaged from an estate sale. There's something here for everyone, from the eclectic decor to the art gallery in back. This is a must visit spot if you like cozy watering holes with kick-a music and awesome service.“

“The hospitality at this location is unmatched from the employees all the way to the owner!
the atmosphere & decor is a vibe!
I can’t wait to come back to Denver and visit this location not to mention the drinks and the prices are amazing!“

“We went to Darcy's for lunch today. We don't drink.. I know.. it's an Irish Pub.. but we love great food and that's what we got. Fish and chips, corn beef hash, bbq pizza appetizer.. everything was absolutely amazing.. I would recommend to everyone.“

“The food was awesome and the beer 🍺 was better great place I will be going back.“

“The most seasoned & culturally aware bartenders in Denver Ehh“

“I used to go here before Covid.You were great then and you're great now! Auntie Social's Kiss Of Approval 💋“

“Great place for a great cause! Wonderful and cozy place to relax during church night and after a hard day at work or to finish studying/work. Great food and drinks of all kinds! Nice toddler play area and Frontier Park is right next to it right along the Platte River.“

“I've followed your page for years and swore if I was ever in Denver, I'd come. I made it there tonight. My coworkers and I had a great time. Cocktails and shots were exceptional. Atmosphere is great. You need more corgis simply because there are never enough corgis 😜.“

“Yummy!! This place was fun and amazing!“

“Three Dogs Tavern is the dive bar I always wanted in my neighborhood. It's well maintained, has billiards and other games, good wings, great fries, quick service, and a packed house for NFL games. It's in a walkable area (street parking). Never had problems with staff, unruly guests, drinks or food. A solid place that can easily feel like home for us rural folk living the city life.“

“Absolutely stellar service. I felt like I was home. The Guinness is poured with care and the staff out standing. After 15 failed journeys for a pint, I’ve found the spot. For me it’s as closer to home as it gets here. Incredibly lovely.“

“Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and inventive cocktails. Recently hosted an event there and was so impressed with Marshall and how helpful he and Kayla were through the whole process. Lovely place to grab a drink with friends! 10/10 Santé!“

“Jaz the bartender was the BEST. Made for a pleasant and fun day.“

“I was at the hotel for an event, stopped in for dinner because it was super convenient. I was sat on the outer part of the restaurant, which was lovely and open and bright (perfect for me to read while I ate). Inside looked cozy and romantic, there's a bar that can be accessed without going into the main restaurant.

Every person I encountered was very friendly, shout out to my server Ally! I had the Impossible cheeseburger, fries were crunchy and seasoned perfectly. Great wine, beer and cocktail list. Will certainly be back!“

“The best. Gabbie our waitress was amazing. The food was amazing. Will be back for brunch next weekend. We went for the prime rib steak. Cooked to perfection.“

“We went for the Liverpool game while visiting from out of town. We would love visit again soon.“

“Best neighborhood bar around! Not quite a dive bar and definitely not a fancy place for fancy drinks. Most days include a great food truck right out front and large patio out back.“

“Best bar food in Denver! It’s a landmark biker bar!“

“Great bar ! Awesome food!“

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

“This place is so one of a kind, unique and caring. My most highly memorable place, can't wait to come back and sit to prepare to celebrate milestones with my kids and have a good talk with the great people that work there 😊 thank you for your kindness and support in the most vulnerable times of our life. Eternally greatful 🙏“

“I was visiting from Minnesota to hang out with my best friend who works there. The customer service and hospitality was top notch. Great environment. The manager was very friendly and told me if I needed anything would let him know.“

“We sat on the mist cooling roof top patio, very comfortable. Ordered the Friday special, fish and chips. They were lightly breaded cod and very good. The service was friendly, recommended a good beer which was also good and tried an egg roll! with their own green chili which surprisingly was very good and spicy! Ready to go back to try more food and beverage!“

“Great old neighborhood bar! Not even a hint of chain restaurants! Near Ft Logan, so it became a gathering spot for family ahead of a weekday service there.

The simple menu is well executed, and I had the Colorado Sunrise burger cooked to a perfect medium rare. Very tasty!! The whole crew of 13 enjoyed their food, and the staff gave us great service right through our surprise early rush.“

“Out of state visitor. Was in the area and ended up here to unwind and play pool. Very laidback dive, just what I love in a bar. Elsie took great care of us. Friends and I played several rounds of pool unbothered and had great cheap drinks in the meantime. Would recommend to anyone looking for a chill, old school pool hall.“

“this bar was amazing! all of the staff were friendly, the djs played great music, but i have to brag on your security guard. I didn't catch his name but he made being in a bar alone as a woman feel safe. He watched my drink for me when I had to take care of a friend, he made sure I made it to the Uber safely, he even made a guy leave that was making my friend and I uncomfortable. He went above and beyond what his job was. Every time I go to Denver, i will stop by. thank you, sir, whatever your name is.“

“Enjoyed the food and drinks, played a couple games of shuffle board until the bartender “kindly” came up and accused my spouse of “staring” at women at the bar when he was watching the sports game on tv behind their head. The women and bartender then became extremely hostile and rude as we were trying to figure out what the problem was kind you this was 2 pm on a Saturday….one of the weirdest most uncomfortable situations I’ve ever experienced and won’t be back“

“Great Place for coffee and quick breakfast while in hotel. Cappuccino is good. Good yogurt. Can pickup simple sandwiches and salads. We used it many times while staying in the Hyatt hotel. Some complaints we heard: they do not allow any cash. Always good to have options“

“I came to Livingston for a quiet little getaway. My husband Rod and I came to see the BEAUTIFUL Yellowstone!! THEN we stumbled upon the Fainting Goat Pub and I met Alex and her margaritas. Now I’m literally googling how to fake my own death in Tulsa so I can live here forever. They are that good. And the Shepards pie… DROOL!!! I would fight a grizzly bear for another round. Alex, if you’re reading this, I love you. If my husband’s reading this, mind your business (and i’m moving)“

“Best Moonpies in Denver! Ask for the Moon Pie Marshal and receive a free Moon Pie!“

“I used to live in this area over 20 years ago. Back then, this place was "THE Place" to go after a long day at work. For me, It was exciting to see this long time Established neighborhood staple Still Open!! The sentimental nostalgia mixed with curiosity lured me in. It was around 10 pm on a weekend evening, at about half capacity, it felt as if i was among mostly regulars, the Pool Tables were all occupied, the beer was ICE? cold!???The Bartender was friendly, very aware, and professional! ?‍??Prices were what is expected in today's market. I would come back for the service alone!? If you're in the neighborhood stop in for a cold one! I will always choose to support my local small businesses first when i have a choice.“

“This bar is awesome but the service at the front is not great. i will say, the bartender megan was amazing and really helped me out when my waiter wouldn't. she offered me a free shot for the inconvenience and was very friendly“

“While trying to improve my basics, I find this to be a great atmosphere for learning. Great instructors, as well as some Intermediate and advanced dancers who are willing to dance with you while you're growing. Just overall great experience of salsas and bachata“

“Lexi was absolutely amazing! She made our night at Ginn Mill so much fun — super friendly, fast with our drinks, and made sure we had everything we needed. She brought great energy to the table and was super attentive without being overbearing. Definitely ask for Lexi if you’re looking for a great night out!“

“Excelente servicio y meseras guapísimas“

“A great atmosphere and quality service during the Avs’ Stanley Cup Championship clincher.“
