“Deliciosa comida! Exelente servicio , la gente muy atenta. La comida Fresca! 😋“

“My husband and I went for the first time last night. We had heard it was good, but weren’t sure what to expect. Food was delicious, atmosphere was fun and it was great to see families eating there. We ordered the king crab legs, which were pricy, but they were delicious and had lots of meat. I definitely recommend. We will go back!“

“Overall great experience. The tostada, empanada, and flautas were the highlight for us. They seemed to have forgot our short rib taco plate and when we asked the server made an off hand comment asking if we had somewhere we needed to be. The plate came out about 20 minutes later. It seemed strange for that to happen at a restaurant like this.“

“Best burger I've had in a long while. Customer service rocked it out of the park!! I would even walk across Denver for those fries. Thanks Hopdoddy!!“

“😃 Great spot come see us play music there.“

“Been visiting from Germany and stopped by at this scenic spot to have a cold beer and was a great experience. The barkeeper was very friendly, and the rooftop views over Sloan Lake are fantastic. He even went out of his way to give some advice on what other experiences are worthwhile for visitors of the area. Even some guests chipped in. I had an awesome time there and decided to have more than just the one beer that I had planned to drink, haha. An absolutely awesome place!“

“The bartender is great! Very friendly environment.“

“Good beer & awesome service .... THATS WHATS UP!“

“Fantastic, cozy outdoor space. Small indoor seating area with board games. Variety of beverages & snacks and very friendly staff.“

“We realized when we got there they were closing soon but host was super nice and welcoming and bar tender reassured us it was no big deal. Pizza was DELICIOUS, absolutely recommend this place. Good food with the nicest friendliest people that work there !!!!“

“Last night we went here and it was awesome! We opted to do the equivalent of the chef‘s table, and let them decide what to bring, and when. It was absolutely amazing and delicious! Definitely creative. The drinks were phenomenal as well. Our favorites were the Hamachi, the off the menu salmon, tartare, the mushroom Ramen soup and the foie gras. ❤️“

“Our favorite matcha in Denver!“

“If you care about Belgian-style beer, Bruz is the best place in Colorado. Les Incompetents is a standout — layered, balanced, and the kind of beer that makes you slow down and pay attention instead of just drinking it—and reminds me of French dishes. The barrel-aged quad is the other one to chase: rich, warming, and complex without ever getting cloying. Both are worth going out of your way for.

The people are just as good as the beer. Kristin was clearly slammed the last time I was in and still managed to be gracious and on top of everything — no small feat. She and Carl (and the other staff, I would list them but I don’t. Know their names 😅 Yea) were also the ones who filled me in on the 10th anniversary, which I would have completely missed otherwise. That kind of hospitality is what turns a good taproom into a regular haunt.

I’ve been coming here often enough to say this with confidence: I have never had a bad food truck at Bruz. Not once. Whoever’s booking them deserves praise.

Congratulations on 10 years. Here’s to many more.“

“Music playing but not TOO loud- background music. You can talk and play board games or 80’s video arcade games. Quite possibly a bar for quiet people like myself- I’ll be back for sure!“

“stopped in last night - out of town visitors, and we had some good beer. Our bartender, Tim, was very knowledgeable and helpful.“

“We were treated like friends that have known each other for 20 years!“

“What a great brewery to hang out!“

“Just went for some coffee this morning and I’m beyond impressed. Between great coffee and great customer service, this place is 5 stars ALL DAY.“

“LOVE that they have a couple of cocktails since I’m not a beer drinker! Margarita is a 5/5 for sure!!
I’m a snacker as well and they have a nice variety of snacks to munch on while enjoying your beverages!
Highly Recommend!“

“Pizza, Wings, Subs and now, Wraps! Great afternoon for Lunch on the patio!“

“Good vibes, good people, fun times!!!“

“Loved it. Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Great service! The staff were so friendly and their beer is excellent!! I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“So fun! Great venue for a date, party, or solo! Jenn and team are amazing!“

“Very Cool bar and good people“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“I got a bunch of street foods (pastel/empanada, coxinhas/croquette, pāo de queijo/cheese bread). They were all so good and just like I remember from Brazil. The service was a little slow though, and they messed up my order originally and had to make it right, which made the wait about 45 minutes total.“

“I wandered in expecting a great local coffee experience. I left having experienced great coffee but even more connected with their purpose and community. Dirt Coffee Bar delivers something mere coffee shops cannot match.“

“great sours. worth the visit“

“The drinks here are next-level. Very good combinations of flavors and just the right size and strength. The little gathering spaces are my favorite - velvet couches, leather seat duos, just little intimate spots to gather and drink together. Love it!“

“My husband and I were looking for a night cap and found this hidden Gem! The host Lily was super sweet and our bartenders were super cool too. The drinks were good and the music matched our tastes. We will definitely hit this place up again for a night on the town.😉“

“To have a place to go within walking distance from my house is great! It’s dog friendly and the owners even kept a few items from the previous market! Will definitely be back and hope that they try and get some outdoor space and turn the volume up on the music! 🍻💙“

“What an awesome place enough said!“

“Loved the live music by Michael Strappelli and bingo night! Staff is extremely friendly and very family friendly atmosphere.“

“This was my first visit to Denver Colorado, and a friend, recommended this hotel. Ever since I walked through the doors, I have had nothing but top notch service and respect. The front desk manager Lauren B. has impeccable customer service. And I don't know how I got so lucky, she upgraded me to a Pent House Suite. The room is absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking views of the stadium and skyline.
Definitely recommend staying at The Rally Hotel!! You will be treated like royalty!!“

“GREAT pizza, wonderful service. Love Walters.“

“Great folks and great craft beers there!“

“A great gathering place with a nice selection of drinks! Laid back atmosphere and courteous staff!“

“Bartender Brenna rules 🙌
This place is everything you could hope for!! The vibes. The atmosphere. The good energy. The dranks. The throwback music, movies, and games. But mostly the bartender Brenna- top notch guys. So fun, so helpful, maybe my new best friend I never knew I needed. Come enjoy your Friday night, or any night here!“

“Edit: Business made it right a few days later, so bumping my review up to 4 stars assuming the bartender was having an off day.

Fun vibe and good pizza, unfortunately paired with the most incompetent bartender I’ve ever encountered in my 32 years on this planet. The guy who served us lost my credit card while changing a keg to fulfill our order, 3 minutes later he acts as if he has never seen us in his life. Claims he couldn’t possibly have my credit card because “they don’t keep cards” before finding it a few minutes later behind the bar.

Later on I ask to close out, he walks away for 20 seconds to check the POS, comes back and asks the person next to me who is a different gender, different hair color, and about a foot shorter than me “were you the one who just asked me to close out?” I wave him over and was asked to clarify my name and provide my card AGAIN, which must’ve then been used to open another tab unbeknownst to me. Now I’m leaving an unclosed tab at this bar with an extremely common last name. Lo and behold a couple days pass and clearly some randos (possibly with the same last name) must’ve charged drinks to our tab, since my wife and I ordered exactly 4 regular draft beers, but have $100+ in charges across multiple transactions from this unserious establishment“

“I just love this place. Staff are amazing and work their butts off. Wish there were misters out back.“

“Four of us do a monthly dinner club and this place checked a lot of boxes! None of us drink so we're always thrilled when there's a solid selection of mocktails. Every drink we tried was delicious. We do 'family style' sharing of plates and got 4 small plates, 2 large plates, 2 sides, and 2 desserts. It was a tad too much food. Stand outs for me were the short rib, tuna, asparagus (great flavor though a little spicy for a few of us), and the brown butter caramel with the churros.“

“The smoked brisket had a nice bark and wasn't overloaded with sauce, which I appreciated. Mac and cheese was creamy and actually held its own next to the meat. Small dining room so it gets crowded when the rush starts, and conversations kind of blend together into one big wall of noise.“

“I love this place to get homework done!“
