“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“I have been going here for years, especially for the wings. Forsure best in the state and I haven't found any out of state that tops it either. They are unique and exquisite and I will never get enough. Thank you for creating amazing food and wonderful memories.“

“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!!“

“It’s a friendly neighborhood bar“

“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. ???“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This bar is a fantastic spot to hit up before a concert at Red Rocks! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and they offered some excellent food recommendations. Plus, if you visit on a Wednesday, wings are only $0.75! 🎸🍗 #Bar #Concert #Staff #Food #Wings“

“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.“

“Go spot to shake off a little dust.“

“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!“

“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.

“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 👍❤️🍺“

“A Denver classic. Some may say it's a dive bar and they are not far of, but wouldn't put in the dive bar category. Food is all around solid with a wide variety of choices and comes out quick. Big cold beers, full bar, pool and shuffle board available. Service is always prompt and friendly. Stop in.“

“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.“

“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! 🍻🎶“

“Well, what can I say? Nothing short of excellent, superb, and memorable. The snacks and drinks are delightful and best of all, the customer service is absolutely priceless. Sylvester is funny, engaging and serves cheerfully with a smile on his face. What a blessed experience! Don't just take my word for it, stop by and see for yourself.“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I had thought I was here before but it turned out I was not. My homeboy invited me after a movie and it was exactly what we needed. Juggalo friendly, excellent artwork, perfect mix of people, and the staff are on point. I couldn't come up with a disagreement with this bar if I tried. Highly recommended. If I had any concern, it would be that there was only one bathroom, for everybody, who said I will let you know when I'm out. Lol. Which is honestly not that big a deal. I'll definitely be back. I wish I took photos because the bar was actually pretty dope looking.“

“Cool unique bar experience“

“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👍“

“Great food, service and atmosphere. Not very busy and easy to get seated. Great choice for a quick day trip for lunch and having out enjoying the views. If you park at the bottom, be prepared for a significant uphill hike. Better to park at the top lot if you are not in good shape.“

“Great BBQ and beer selection“

“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.“

“Dude.... Just like Mom used to make...This is a dive baby!!!

“Best bar around! affordable and down to earth! the food is also great! Go for lunch and get one of their specials!! The owners and Bartenders are awesome as well!!!“
