Fun place but the food was pretty greasy. Just a little too fried.

If you like metal music and yummy food, this place is for you. I enjoyed the moody ambiance, tastefully hung art and cool band posters. It was clean, the employees were attentive and had an eclectic mix of patrons. The skull bead on my sandwich toothpick was a nice touch. Happy hour every day from 11-6! Plus, they serve Malort. 💀🤘🏽

The Brutal Poodle was the most unexpected celiac friendly restaurant that I have ever been to. My 7 year old daughter has celiac disease and after our 2 night stay at a Denver Hampton watching her older sister taking full advantage of the waffle bar, it was our mission to find a gluten free waffle before leaving the city. After a few phone calls, we found ourselves being walked to our table by the tattooed host of a death metal themed pub with music my kids have never heard before. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. Then came our waiter. He kneeled down next to my youngest daughter, looked her right in the eyes and told her, not us, everything they could do gluten free for her. It was impressive!!! Dedicated fryers, dedicated grill, gluten free buns for the burgers, gluten free noodles for the Mac and cheese! They had waffles and chicken tenders! I don’t think there was a single item on the menu that they couldn’t do for her! And to top it all off, it was a great experience and a teachable moment for my family to learn that just because something seems hard or rough on the outside, it doesn’t mean it’s not kind and thoughtful or caring on the inside. The Brutal Poodle did right by my daughter and our family and I highly recommend it!!! 10/10.

Dietary restrictions: Excellent celiac friendly gluten free options!! Most unexpectedly celiac friendly restaurant that I have been to!! For those who are gluten free, this is a 10/10!

Kid-friendliness: The music and decor is hard. It’s a heavy metal themed pub style restaurant. But don’t let it discourage you. You and your family are welcome here, and you will know it!

Love this place. It’s definitely a heavy metal Headbanger atmosphere. It’s too bad It’s not bigger. It looks like it would be a great place to have a stage and live music. But starting out with a five star review, the food was exceptional. We got the Pork green chili tater tots to start followed by the homemade battered buffalo chicken sandwich. It was exceptionally good and lightly drizzled with buffalo sauce. I probably would’ve asked for a little extra sauce, but was content. The french fries were not shoestring but skinny fries, piping hot with salt and pepper which I really liked. We also got the gluten-free brisket mac & cheese with green chili, which was exceptional. The brisket was better than what we’ve had at some barbecue joints and would highly recommend it.

What you expect from a metal themed bar and grill. Food was good and drinks were good too. Have vegan burger and cheese so that is good as my wife is vegan.

Awesome music! Predominantly metal, I use ear plugs only because I have APD but it suits the environment. Everybody there is super cool and I'll be going back frequently.
