41 Best Pubs near Wheat Ridge

“This place kicks ass! The food and drinks are delicious and well priced. The whole place has a neat vibe of Colorado history, retro, choas, all mixed together as an Irish pub in an old house. Its a huge place with a massive patios and several rooms to dine in, watch live music, or hang out at the bar. You seat yourself, so you choose your own adventure. It's kinda like Dark Horse was tons of stuff all over the walls and ceiling. The menu is HUGE! I have had the pork chops with the bacon Chipotle coleslaw twice this week. I hate coleslaw, but I LOVED it. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often, there's still so much more to try on the menu.“

“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.“

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

“great and chips, we ordered a meat pie to go after the dine in and it wasn't that good though. so maybe stick to the fish and chips“

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

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

“What can I say, three dogs is my home away from home! Their staff treat their patrons with respect and care, and they always provide excellent service. Tony is the absolute man, he truly makes you feel like part of the family no matter how often you go. Hands down, my favorite bar on the west side. Josh, Chelsea, Steph, Kristina, they all rule!“

“Came here for my 21st birthday and it was so much fun!! Staff was so very sweet and friendly!! Amazing selection of games and very reasonable prices on drinks.“

“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 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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Everything was perfect, to be honest I really loved“

“I had my birthday party here last week and it was amazing. The staff is great and extremely accommodating. Chris A. is a great host and very informative. I can’t express my gratitude for this experience. Oh and their drinks are fantastic as well as pretty!“

“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!“

“First visit. Typical British pub food. My daughter ordered the Shepherd's Pie. My wife ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad. I ordered the Fish and Chips. Food came out quickly. Very authentic flavors. I would highly recommend this location!“

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

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

“It's our favorite bar in Denver. I grew up here, but only visit from time to time now. PonPon is hands down Denver's coolest bar, and it's not simply surface: yes, the atmosphere is exceedingly cool, but it's also extremely playful, and if you feel intimidated by the atmosphere, the incredibly warm bar staff will help you feel at ease. This is truly a sophisticated spot posing as a dive bar - you can get a glass of Txlakolina as readily as you might get a $4 Gennessee, or the best Japanese whisky cocktail as easily as a Mexican Coke or a glass of Four Roses from the 1970s salvaged from an estate sale. There's something here for everyone, from the eclectic decor to the art gallery in back. This is a must visit spot if you like cozy watering holes with kick-a music and awesome service.“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem! Loved coming here to get drinks and due to it being tucked away it wasn’t insanely packed. Is open to the public as well as the residents of The Patterson Inn. The Old Fashions were definitely my highlight of ordering drinks and I’m not very much of an old fashion type of guy! Cool atmosphere and talked to the owner (Chris) and we talked about his smoke lounge he’s making in the basement and everything that goes into it, it was great and interesting stuff to learn and talk about!“

“Cormac is the best bartender I’ve ever had. I asked for a sun cruiser, and I’m not ever kidding, for some reason, it was the best sun cruiser ive ever had in my life. He was so nice and personable I would love to be served by him again !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great bar ! Awesome food!“

“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!“

“Best bar in Colorado #barcastcomedy“

“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!“

“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“

“I go here for karaoke on Fridays often! It’s a great spot and draws a cool and fun crowd. It’s a good range of talent so even beginners can feel comfortable and the DJ is awesome. The bartenders are super nice people and great to chat with, especially Brendan and Claire.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“
