50 Best Bar & Grill near Lakewood

“Great bartender, steel trap for memory, and pretty too.“

“So good so good so good so good d“

“Good place to hang with friends. The food selections are meh.“

“Great place! Great people! Really enjoyed our time there.“

“Great place. EXCEPT they need some regular tables towards the front. The only ones they have now is back in the kiddy section. I took a handicapped lady who can't use the high drinker's tables. The kid section was full. We were forced to go down the street.“

“we were in the area for a mini vacation (my sister and i). initially we were walking to the brunch nearby but as we were passing by, we changed our minds and went in. after seeing the cowboys game on, we sat down near the TV it was on. I asked if it was possible to change the TV behind my sister as well since we will be sitting across from one another. it was playing the Olympics races and nobody was watching (1 booth other than us and 4 people bar top). after it was changed, we ordered our food and drinks. a kitchen staff joked about the cowboys with friendly bantar before returning to the kitchen. shortly after, the general manager (I was unaware at the time) came from the kitchen and changed it again. I said excuse me several times to him and got 0 acknowledgement. the bartender shrugged his shoulders and looked away from me. I spoke to Anthony as there wasn't much time left on the game. Anthony attempted to talk to him and he said there were people watching the game. the game which was not put on until AFTER we requested the change. while I'm not one to sweat small stuff, I work in customer service and with 6 mins left on a preseason game, what's the harm? at least acknowledge me when I speak to you. let's come to an agreement. instead, I turned my chair around and waited to eat the appetizers sitting behind me on the table until the game was over (a whopping 4 mins) I don't get time to catch many games, was on vacation and wasn't being rude about it. i love sports and trust, I would've been stoked to catch the baseball game he changed it to AFTER the football game. and I would've been the only customer paying attention then too. so finally I was loud and thanked Anthony for his friendly demeanor and caring about his customers. I said it very loudly since I could not get acknowledgement when speaking politely and directly to him. what do ya know? now we hear me in the kitchen and have plenty to say. with music playing and food being prepared no less! I enjoyed the food. probably the best wings I've had in ages! the beer cheese soup was delicious. I enjoyed our waiter's customer care. without him, we would've walked out. food is top notch. caring about customers, not entirely priority. we don't visit often so it isn't a huge loss that we won't be returning because of one person. Definitely ask for Anthony if you do go!“

“Great bartenders and great karaoke!“

“Love Reivers! The food and drinks are delicious and creative. The servers remember your drinks and are pleasant and attentive.“

“What a great place to eat, great atmosphere fun employees“

“Portion sizes are big! Food is delicious! Caleb R was my server and he was fantastic!“

“Excellent place! Great atmosphere! Great food and drink! Great service! I would highly recommend! My fiancé and I discovered The Arvada Tavern on an impromptu date night and really enjoyed ourselves there. Can’t wait to go back! Don’t take my word for it, go and check it out and see for yourself.“

“Good people at this bar. This friendly guy named Chan, bought us two old white guys a round because we genuinely liked him. He told us, in no uncertain terms, that he really appreciated the fact we showed no anti-Asian hatred. I can’t even imagine as such. I love the people, their traditions, their food, and their heritage. I’m so sorry they have to endure such hatred in the Land of the Free. Peace and happiness, my brother.“

“I’m not one to review. I always forget but holy moly this place is amazing! The food is beyond amazing. I ordered the grilled kielbasa with sauerkraut and fried potatoes on one occasion, which was off the charts! The Bavarian pretzel yes I know it’s just a Bavarian pretzel, but not this one and not the cream cheese garlic dip it comes with holy Mary mother of God. It is amazing. I will never look at beer cheese, the same again after having this,.I hate to keep using that word, but it is nothing short of amazing!! then the burgers, the burgers are just seasoned perfectly and I just can’t stress how good this food is at this establishment if you’re ever off of Broadway and Maple stop in you will not be disappointed!!“

“Some of the best food (and people) in the city.“

“Go spot to shake off a little dust.“

“Love this historic spot... and, one of my favorite burgers in Denver. great for sports especially DU hockey and they have ca solid menu. Check it out!“

“Had a great time with friends tonight. Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff“

“love coming to Jake's on any day! I especially love going there on Thursday and Friday nights for karaoke and every other Tuesday for open Mic night! the staff is fabulous, drinks are fair-priced, enclosed patio, upfront parking for bikes. The food is better than any bar I've ever eaten at. (any of the cheese steaks) love this place!“

“We had our daughter and son in law's wedding reception here. It was truly an beautiful event! Myranda and the entire staff did such an amazing job. The food was just phenomenal! The ambiance along with the lake made it so breathtaking! Our guests had a great time! We had a great time. Thank you so much!“

“The only criticism I have is quit calling your appetizer jalapeno queso and guacamole! It is not queso! It is spicy or jalapeno pimento cheese. It is very good but most people will expect it to be served hot!“

“It’s a friendly neighborhood bar“

“Our server lilly was great, and their manager kept coming over checking on us to make sure everything was good and made great suggestions. The customer service there from everybody was really good. The only thing I wish is that they wouldn't let people smoke within 10 feet of the front door because that smoke came inside and the front few tables could smell it while eating, which is where we were seated. Over all, good food, good place, good people 👍“

“It’s a great place to hold events. They’ve been great to work with as a place for our charity Beard Bout facial hair competitions.“

“Always a fun spot to enjoy wonderful food, libations, music and dance, dance, dance. Come out and join in on the fun in the sun. ???“

“I always love a pb & jelly burger!“

“We have been coming here for almost 5 years and we can’t rave more about the food and service! The staff is always attentive, kind and friendly. We had an uncomfortable situation recently. we have two kids under 4. We recently were there when a guy was very vocal about being frustrated that a family was at a bar. Tara immediately jumped in to educate him that yes it’s a bar but also a family restaurant. They are always accommodating and make us feel comfortable. This place has amazing service, food, staff and is a staple in our neighborhood.“

“Absolutely, hands down, a fantastic experience. Good food, good drinks and more entertainment than you can imagine. Leave the insanity of today’s world at the door… walk in and let your hair down, sing along and enjoy the freedom of having a great time with no desire to pick up your phone and see what you are missing. L I V I N G!!!! To the staff: THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! ♥️“

“We come up once a year for member guest at red rocks country club. We love it so much our friends take us here every year and they are the best people and the food is absolutely amazing. Daryl greeted us and said “it’s already been a year”, that’s how much they care about their customers.“

“What a fantastic place for a night out! The staff were welcoming and attentive, the menu was impressive with so many choices, and the bar was cozy and clean. The food was delicious and surprisingly low priced for large portions. It came out hot and exactly as we ordered. So happy Rocky Top came up in my Google search for “good bar food near me!” We’ll be back for sure 👍❤️🍺“

“What a hidden gem!! The food is so good - everything made from scratch (dill ranch and honey mustard are a MUST)! We ordered the Sunday app platter with the tenders, fried pickles, and tater tots. Everything was delicious. The staff is so kind and personable and the draft beers are excellent (apricot blonde is great for my fruity beer fans). Absolutely will be back!!“

“An impressive place to enjoy more than a few Drinks before and after a Rockies game. The staff especially Savannah (excuse me if I incorrectly spelled it) were great!“

“Great Wisconsin spot. Attached to their sister property The Rhein House. Get there if possible 👍 nice beer selection, combination of Wisco dishes and German dishes👍“

“The Platte is consistently good. Our family frequently comes here for get togethers as they are easily able to accommodate large groups. Today the service was fantastic! We had more than 30 friends and family there, and the staff did a great job accommodating us!“

“We brought a group of 16 in for an early dinner on a Tuesday. They were great! Trish made the whole table laugh and even though she was quite busy, we all felt the love from her and from the kitchen. The food was great and portions were generous. We will be back!“

“Had the greatest night, great service, loved the drinks! Pete & Tyler, best bartenders, Stephanie the manager took time to speak with me, so efficient and helpful, awesome games on TV, clean, loved my experience. Food arrived hot and tasty 😋“

“I’ve loved this place since I walked in their doors, June of 2020. I love the people, food and drinks. It’s like a mini ‘Cheers’. Everyone makes you feel comfortable. They have open mic night, BINGO , Karaoke, trivia and more !! The food is good and a fabulous place!!“

“Rome’s is awesome! My buddy and I stop in regularly for beers after work, Kayla is usually behind the bar and is a fantastic bartender she’s fast, personable and very kind. Stop in for a beer if you’re in the area!“

“I attended a wedding reception here. It was a beautiful evening in a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly. The fajita and enchilada buffet was delicious.“

“Honestly, the hot wings made me want to throw them right in the trash after paying $12 for them. I don't like turkey legs or bigger wings like that I like the little mini ones that taste perfect aside from that. I had a really good time every time I've been there and the atmosphere is welcoming and peaceful“

“Love the ambiance along with the food and music.“

“I went to The Tavern on Blake Street for the first time today. It’s been a long time that I’ve been in this building since the other place shut down. I went at 10:30 AM and had the place to myself. I have to say, it’s great. I started with a Princess Yum Yum raspberry beer and I got the breakfast sandwich with veggies, eggs over easy. I really like spicy and they were able to make a sauce out of the Nashville hot dry rub. Delicious! Also, Jen was an absolutely fantastic server. 10/10“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“We stumbled upon this place with my wife just wanting to have dinner at a rooftop bar before we left Denver. Just our luck there was a Colorado Rockies game going on and vs the Chicago Cubs, so this place was packed, but we were able to get a seat pretty quickly on the roof. Service was really good even with it being packed. The food was great. No complaints we all enjoyed our meals. We ended up noticing that everyone there was a Chicago Cubs fan so we asked the waiter and he said they were the official Chicago Cubs bar of Denver Karma so it's crazy that we were there while the Cubs were in town. Made the atmosphere even more fun. The staff was super nice,matter of fact I had to leave to go get some aspirin for my daughter and the bouncer downstairs gave me great directions to find the 7-Eleven. Good size place they have a pretty large bar area downstairs and naturally the rooftop is pretty often to get a good view of Denver and you can see Coors field. Definitely would come back here especially if the Cubs were playing in town or on tv, probably on TV would be better because once the game started this place cleared out. In the really coolest thing is we ended up meeting the lead guitarist Chantry Johnson of The Cab, how cool is that! This is definitely a good hangout place! Highly recommend.“

“Stumbled on this place because my son wanted Italian (noodles, basically). This place was really great. Delicious food, great service, stellar atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Came here to do maintenance on their beer lines and ended up ordering their Rockies wrap which was awesome. The bartender (didn't catch her name but she had some tattoos) was also super sweet and helped me out! I'll definitely be ordering food there every time I go in to do maintenance!“

“I moved to Capitol Hill around two years ago and this place has been a staple watering hole of mine ever since I moved here - excellent vibes, excellent music choice (most of the time, lol), and really good service (though it can take a few minutes when it’s busy, as with any other place).

Also special shout out to Morgan, who always makes time to say hey and chit chat when she can - that kind of attention to detail is what keeps me coming back 👌“

“Q’s Pub is an absolute gem! The food was delicious and clearly made with care, and the drinks were excellent with a great selection to choose from. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality you get, which made the whole experience even better.
The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. On top of all that, the live music was amazing and really brought the place to life, creating a fun and energetic atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a spot with great food, great drinks, awesome live music, and top-notch service, Q’s Pub is the place to go. Highly recommended! 🍻🎶“

“If you’re looking for the kind of place that instantly feels like your neighborhood home base, Doghouse Tavern absolutely nails it. Tucked away in Denver, this spot is the definition of a true local gem—unpretentious, welcoming, and packed with personality.

First off, the food is way above typical pub fare. We’re talking juicy, flavor-packed burgers, crispy wings with a variety of sauces, and comfort food classics like nachos, fish and chips, and loaded sandwiches. Everything comes out clearly made with care—it’s the kind of menu where you’ll want to come back just to try everything. Elena is the best cook.

The staff deserves fanfare. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you walk through the door, they create that rare vibe where you feel like a regular—even on your first visit. Service is fast, drinks stay full, and there’s always someone ready with a smile, a casual conversation, or a recommendation.

And then there’s the atmosphere—pure neighborhood magic. It’s laid-back and lively at the same time, with pool tables, TVs for the game, fire-place patio, and a crowd that’s there to relax and have a good time. The dog-friendly patio is the best and everything gives that authentic, community-driven feel that’s hard to fake.

But what really sets Doghouse Tavern apart is its local culture and entertainment. This isn’t just a bar—it’s a gathering place. Whether it’s karaoke night (which is always a blast), trivia, or just a packed evening of locals unwinding together, there’s a sense of connection here you don’t find in bigger, flashier venues. It’s the kind of place where strangers become friends over a song and a drink.“

“Dr. Proctor's is a great time, any time! There's a good mix of patrons. I feel like this bar is equally of older drinking age and younger. Give karaoke night a shot! There's a lot of great singers! Also there's plenty of pool tables to keep you busy while you're in rotation!“
