46 Best Pubs near Lakewood

“Amazing bar. Great service. Owner is kind and wise!“

“The front range are very welcoming with travelers. They let you park over night if you spend a bit inside. We went, we really liked everything. The staff was very warm, the food was delicious and not expensive, we watch sport event. It was a perfect night.“

“How have I lived in the area for years and not visited Clancy’s? A group of friends and I visited during dinner time and the place was busy. We ended up getting a table inside towards the back. They had the AC pumping which I appreciated! There are so many rooms in this place that it almost felt like being in a maze. Once I thought I saw it all, there was more! There are 2 pool tables in the basement.

The food there was good. Considering that it was food from a pub, my expectations were low, but it made me realize why the place has been around for so long (I think they’ve been in business since the 70’s). The drinks were fairly priced and the selection was wide. We did have a slight issue with one of the burgers we ordered being wrong but it was corrected.

I would definitely come back for some food and drinks with friends!“

“The most seasoned & culturally aware bartenders in Denver Ehh“

“Great wings and exceptional service!!“

“What a great brewery to hang out!“

“Warm nicely finished woodwork provides a welcoming historic atmosphere. Our experience was 100% on their patio which is a leftover COVID make-shift tent with zero ambiance however well protected from the weather elements in the unlikely event there’s a bad weather in a place with 300+ days of sunshine. Burgers and sandwiches are tops with your own table try of condiments provided. Drink selection is extensive and mixed well along with a wide variety of good beer choices. Service was great though we were pushed to leave far too quickly without even a mention of dessert even though they were well aware that was our visit purpose nor a apology they had no dessert or cup of coffee. Atmosphere inside historic and warm, outside no more than a camping tent. Food - Excellent sandwiches and burgers. Service- Good though pushed to leave very quickly. Price - Average.“

“Great neighborhood place! We'll be back!“

“Great place for a great cause! Wonderful and cozy place to relax during church night and after a hard day at work or to finish studying/work. Great food and drinks of all kinds! Nice toddler play area and Frontier Park is right next to it right along the Platte River.“

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

“Great authentic Irish pub with reasonable prices and a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Maggie behind the bar was incredible and really helped to make my stay in Denver as positive as possible, even providing some local suggestions for dinner nearby (unfortunately they don't have a kitchen). I would highly recommend this place for solo travellers looking to feel welcomed like a local.“

“Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and inventive cocktails. Recently hosted an event there and was so impressed with Marshall and how helpful he and Kayla were through the whole process. Lovely place to grab a drink with friends! 10/10 Santé!“

“I used to go here before Covid.You were great then and you're great now! Auntie Social's Kiss Of Approval 💋“

“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! 🍻🎶“

“Hunter was amazing, super attentive and somehow managed to quickly attend to every guest on a full Saturday night, it was our first time here and we will definitely be returning based off of the service we experienced tonight. Wonderful pool tables my only critique would be moving the darts to another location as they are too close to the left side table.“

“The Best bar in the world!!!“

“Best neighborhood bar around! Not quite a dive bar and definitely not a fancy place for fancy drinks. Most days include a great food truck right out front and large patio out back.“

“The love shack does have a kitchen. I have yet to try anything from the kitchen, but Mary the one that is running it seems to have a set menu for the kitchen. Other than that the bar is fully stocked and Pool Tables are ready to rock ‘n’ roll on.“

“We love this place. Great food from next door, friendly staff and owners.. will continue to keep coming back!“

“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!“

“Great place to watch premier league. The place was poppin’ even on a Monday. Get there early or you might not land a seat. The food was great! We had fish and chips and bangers & mash. Both were outstanding. It was kind of a bummer that there was only one person running the entire bar. So extra long waits to order. She was Bartending, table service and running food. Whatever she was getting paid isn’t enough. Kept her cool and was pleasant the entire time. Will come again. UP THE VILLA!!“

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

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

“Great bar ! Awesome food!“

“Came for lunch today! Always great service! Big drinks and affordable burgers! Buns are steamed. Always feel welcome here! Kinda hate to say it because they'll get busier but.... They deserve the kudos!“

“Started the night here last night with a friend and it's too bad they close up at 9pm because I loved everything about this place. The drinks were top notch and reasonably priced, the bartender was phenomenal, and the vibe of this place just made you feel good being there. I'll definitely come here again.“

“Stopped in to check it out for the first time. Awesome dive bar. Good atmosphere, clean, good service, and good people. My girlfriend and I had a great time. They've got two people tables and plenty of seating. Definitely going to be our new local spot to hang out at.“

“REALLY GOOD TACOS. we got chicken tacos. they were amazing. burger was so delicious. the tomato soup, we expected just plane red tomato soup but it was a creamy orange soup which was so much better! highly recommend. food was pretty cheap. food was all fresh!“

“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.“

“As far as actual bartenders, they are the best in all of RINO in my opinion.
By bartender I mean they will make you anything with reason if they have it. Personality seems to be a qualification here too. Everyone I've talked to has the ability if gab on any subject.
Also solid music anytime I go in.“

“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.“

“This place is exactly what it says it is, a comfortable and welcoming neighborhood bar where you can just stop by for a simple meal and/or a few drinks. The staff is super attentive and kind. It’s not overly divey in any way, plenty of TVs if you want to watch a game.

It’s definitely a spot where folks from the surrounding neighborhoods stop in regularly, family friendly.“

“I love this place! great food and drinks prices, the bartender john is awesome. ask for him!“

“The hospitality at this location is unmatched from the employees all the way to the owner!
the atmosphere & decor is a vibe!
I can’t wait to come back to Denver and visit this location not to mention the drinks and the prices are amazing!“

“This is a bit out of date, but wanted to give a huge shoutout to the team, but especially Monica and Sylvia, who helped me create space for a 50-person gathering, bring us drinks, and manage the bar bill throughout to make sure we didn't overspend, all with ~1 hour of notice. They were so gracious and anticipated every need. Highly recommend!“

“Best bar in Colorado #barcastcomedy“

“" Great place, Good People, Great prices. Best place in town! 💜“

“Enjoyed the food and drinks, played a couple games of shuffle board until the bartender “kindly” came up and accused my spouse of “staring” at women at the bar when he was watching the sports game on tv behind their head. The women and bartender then became extremely hostile and rude as we were trying to figure out what the problem was kind you this was 2 pm on a Saturday….one of the weirdest most uncomfortable situations I’ve ever experienced and won’t be back“

“The vibes? Amazing.
The staff? Amazing.
The food? The best chicken strips I’ve ever had. Not joking.
I’m from out of town visiting, and the staff took care of me completely! I loved the food, loved the staff, and loved everything this place had to offer.
The upper deck has a beautiful view of downtown, and downstairs has a wonderful atmosphere.
Worth the visit <3“

“This bar is awesome but the service at the front is not great. i will say, the bartender megan was amazing and really helped me out when my waiter wouldn't. she offered me a free shot for the inconvenience and was very friendly“

“this bar was amazing! all of the staff were friendly, the djs played great music, but i have to brag on your security guard. I didn't catch his name but he made being in a bar alone as a woman feel safe. He watched my drink for me when I had to take care of a friend, he made sure I made it to the Uber safely, he even made a guy leave that was making my friend and I uncomfortable. He went above and beyond what his job was. Every time I go to Denver, i will stop by. thank you, sir, whatever your name is.“

“Best Moonpies in Denver! Ask for the Moon Pie Marshal and receive a free Moon Pie!“

“Devin provided excellent service at the bar and was very helpful throughout our visit. SHe made great recommendations for both food and beer selections, which really improved our experience. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this bar.“

“While trying to improve my basics, I find this to be a great atmosphere for learning. Great instructors, as well as some Intermediate and advanced dancers who are willing to dance with you while you're growing. Just overall great experience of salsas and bachata“

“When my friend comes back in town for a visit, we alternate between different bars to get our group of Cowboys fans together. Choppers has been on that rotation for years, depending on the time of the game and who else is playing. This place gets packed! It's normal for sports bars to be packed on game day but something about this layout makes it feel especially crowded. It's loud, again, not uncommon. Sometimes the service is a little slow, nothing that's annoying and everything that's understanding when it's busy. We usually go for wings or nachos and order pitchers because of our group size. It's good portions, if a little pricier than other places. The crowds are usually friendly and enthusiastic, which makes it a fun environment for sports fans. For a change-up from downtown, this is a good place to consider.“

“Excelente servicio y meseras guapísimas“
