BEWARE tourists and visitors. They refuse to serve you if you have a vertical ID. They (blonde bartender) won't even look at it. Well above 21 years old and they would not serve us because of that (we don't look younger than 21). Sorry that we're from out of state and were visiting our family here. The girl said "to expect this rule all throughout downtown". But this is the only place in downtown denver this happened to us. Such a weird experience and they lost three customers plus three more that were coming that had to leave with us because of it.

Nice enough space. Completely commercial posing as historic and institutional. Armed guards at restrooms. It feels like everyone who works here is expecting it to be over run by homeless at any moment.If anyone from management reads this, I’m here to tell you that is is not illegal to purchase alcohol without an ID. It is illegal to purchase if you are under 21. If someone is obviously over 21 and you ID them, it just makes you look stupid and it’s really just a form of micro aggression at that point.I feel second hand embarrassment for the employees that request and ID from me, a 42 year old man. As someone who use to work there, I can say that they just use that as an excuse to not serve those kinds of people who may not have a valid ID. But it really just makes you seem bush league. Like, you know how this works right? Anyway, as I was getting at: This place is soulless and miserable.

Such a fun location in Union Station! We had seats outside of tge bar in the picnic like table area. What a fun vibe with the hustle & bustle of people & trains. Just 1 drink but the mixed drinks especially the bees knees was quite a hit!

Terrible service. If it hadn't been for someone, NOT the server refilling my drink and someone else getting my check when I waited at least 15 minutes for, he would have received NO tip. I hate the added fee to help give then a living wage. No wonder service is bad when they know they'll get a tip regardless.

Came in late (10:30) after arriving on a late flight from Vegas. Ended up just sneaking in an order at last call for the kitchen. Bar is inside Union Station and a pretty cool setting. Place was jumpin when we got here. Servers were super helpful in getting our order in, even though chicken wings were out. Shared a meal with the kiddo as it was late - ordered the burger with sweet potato fries, and a side of queso dip (sub for the chicken wings). Washed it all down with an old fashioned. Drink was delicious. Big ice cube, decent orange bitters, and a sweet tang to the glass filled with Makers. Paired nicely with the fatty, smashed double cheeseburger. Burger and fries were good. Tasty mostly because we were starving, more or less Yard House stuff; nothing to write home about. Queso chips were overly salty, but edible. Still, definitely come for the drinks and atmosphere!

First time I've ever gotten thrown out of a bar for NOT drinking enough. Went to meet a friend who was finishing a drink before I drove us to dinner. Tried to order a soft drink but bartender told me "That didn't count". I need to order a drink with alcohol or he would "Through me out." Crazy!

This was my first stop after arriving in Denver on my Pack Up and Go trip and getting settled at my hotel at the Dairy Block. It was a drizzly chilly afternoon and I wanted to check out beautiful Union Station and grab a bite and a drink for the afternoon. The bar is gorgeous and classy. It's everything you think of if you're thinking old school train bar. I sat at the bar and loved that there were windows out into the train station so you could see what was going on. Not too much hustle and bustle but it was November so they were working on setting up the Xmas tree! They had quite a few fancy cocktail options so I tried a few - first the standard Wynkoop which the bartender recommended, and then the plum drink which was so different than the first - they were both delicious. I also got some ceviche to snack on since I hadn't had a full lunch but didn't want to spoil dinner. It was such a great option for a snack to hold me over but not fill me up, and the fish was fresh and yummy! This spot is def a little on the expensive side but that's to be expected for their location and offering. The rest of their menu looked really good too. Great option in the Union Station neighborhood!

Food was okay. Fries were amazing, chicken was bland and not the best taste. Service and drinks were good.

Was throughly disgusted when I stopped by for one glass of wine. A roach came out behind where they store the napkins & straws on the bar when they were picking up my signed tab (over 20% tip). When I mentioned what I had saw (fully aware the bartender saw the roach as well) I was asked to leave. For the last two years I have been a daily regular at all the business’ in Union Station but I will not be returning. Fix your roach infestation.

Pay more here to help a millionaire builder her hotel, fine example of welfare. Presentation of food is not quite as nice as Hamburger Stand.

This is a cool place that seems poorly managed. The staff taking drink orders at the counter seem overly stressed, and when you ask for a certain beer, they huff and say "what number?". You're a glorified cashier. You can get to know your 20 products. Then you see a sign for a $4 cup of pozole, and when you order it, it rings up as $7. Try pointing out the mistake, and you'll get told that $7 is for a bowl, and that they don't sell it by the cup. They say this while a few feet from the sign that says "cup of pozole: $4". Press the issue, and they'll ring up a cup of pozole at... $5.
