Always have a great time here! Food is fire, and service is on point every time! Andrew and JD are the best. It's one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood.

We came in at around five thirty, on a Saturday. It was probably a weird one off, but when we walked in we weren’t greeted, nor did the bartender stop her conversation to address us until a different group came in about five minutes later. She walked to them, took their order, and then circled back to us at the bar, which felt a little unfriendly. She seemed lovely with the regulars and the drinks were good, and once her coworker arrived he was friendly, so it was overall a good vibe, just a chilly start. The cheese curds were delicious! We tried the owl saloon the other week and this is their sister bar apparently, so it was cool to see both of them, but if you’re looking for good service, I’d do the owl saloon. If you’re looking to become a regular, bar car for sure!Parking: There is technically free street parking if you are lucky! There’s also a free garage about a block away.Wheelchair accessibility: From what I saw, they only have taller tables, not somewhere I’d say was accessible in terms of seating.

Definitely a neighborhood bar. Had a bit of a standoffish vibe if you're not a regular, but the younger bartender was really great & friendly.I was confused by the food (google says it serves pizza, the building itself says it serves BBQ, but it ended up just being regular bar food...) but the burger and fries were good.

Great little bar. Small, cozy, dimly lit. Friendly. Cheap. Just as a bar should be.

We’re visiting family from the UK. We popped in early evening and the bar was buzzing. A great bar and very reasonably priced drinks.Fab atmosphere. I suspect we will be back several times more before leaving.

Such a lovely establishment in the toughest part of town. This place does get a lot of drug addicts hanging around the front doors asking for

Very inviting neighborhood bar. Lots of stools along the bar, which runs nearly the length of of the room, some two -tops on the opposite wall, and a larger seating circle at the back, so an intimate feeling to the space, dark but not grungy. Good spot for conversation and low-key partying. Everyone in the space was pretty sloshed during our visit. Bartenders are amiable and efficient, I ordered a sidecar and the bartender wasn't familiar with it but happily made it when I told him the ingredients. Good range of snacks and sandwiches on the menu, our nachos were delicious.

I really like this little bar. I didn't try the food so I didn't rate the food. However, the staff was super friendly. The location is pretty good and the interior is very comfortable and old school elegance almost. It reminds me of something you would walk into in the 40s.The drinks were all really good and the prices aren't bad either.

I am not from Denver but I love this place! The Moscow mules were on point! My bartender was the best but I feel bad that I forgot his name! Thank you for making my birthday special!
