The Franklin
Noah B.

Amazing Food , I had the the three run double with Scrambled eggs and chose the Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffle Fries , The Chicken was the best I ever had , It was just the perfect crispiness and the Chicken was perfectly tender , I'm a very picky person when it comes too texture and this was by far my favorite. Can't forget Jessie was an amazing Waitress , She was very quick and polite and checked up on us. Couldn't have asked for a better waitress. She was very knowledgeable with recommendations and was able too make accommodations if necessary like the Nashville hot instead of normal. Will definitely be back again. Best Restaurant Ever. Also the vibes are great , The lighting and rustic theme. I also went too the other Location on Baker maybe or one of the streets in 23 but didn't eat anything cause I was Gluten Free at the time and that restaurant has a unique design but the Colfax Location is much more spacious and cozy.

We ordered from the Denver Biscuit Co menu and everything we got was really good. The service was pretty fast and the ambiance was welcoming. They also have bottomless coffee at no charge which was pretty cool.

The Lola
Lea G.

We stopped in here for a bite to eat before an outing at the museum. They were very busy, but we were seated pretty quickly. We enjoyed several different sandwiches and some really delicious cheesy grits. My husband got the Lola. It was tasty. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Very nice My daughter got the last Cubano of the day. Man was it something else. Ham Swiss cheese, delicious pickles, a yummy sauce and the chicken was great. I got to take a bite of everything and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Service was good atmosphere was very lively. They do have outside seating. Parking was on the street and was not that difficult on this day.

Sat at the bar and had a nice experience. Bartenders were attentive and the food came out fairly quickly. The burger was delicious and juicy, would definitely recipe d getting the garlic Parmesan fries as well.

THE BEELER
Kaylee G.

Atmosphere was very up Our waitress was very nice and friend The breeler...there could have been more spice to the chicken. 1/10 The Franklin 12/10 Cinnamon roll- the outside was a little over cooked making it kinda tough 9/10 100% recommend this place!

Overall this place was great! The pizza was pretty affordable for a slice. Definitely a place I would go again. The Overall ambiance is basic restaurant/bar but cool stuff to look at. Service was pretty straightforward and attentive.

New York Slice
Cyrus A.

Atomic Cowboy is a quintessential sports bar -- come for the bar atmosphere, including sports on TV and classic bar food. I tried the "New York" style pizza, and it was okay. The thin, crispy crust was on brand, but the sauce tasted like something from a frozen slice, and cheese wasn't particularly flavorful. My slice with toppings (mushrooms and jalapeño) was much better than the plain slice I tried. Slices are big, so you'll certainly get your money's worth. And if you go in expecting a standard sports bar experience, you won't be disappointed.

The Lola
Elena M.

We loved everything we ordered! For a sweet tooth - the Biscuit French toast with the fruit compote was so delicious! We tried the Lola - which was like a delicious version of chicken and waffles. The Franklin was so savory and full of flavor. We also tried the Lights Out smash burger - the sauce on it made the burger something special. This place was a great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!

Read this as one of the places to try out in Denver. We got here at 11.30am on Labor Day holiday and the wait was about 20 mins for a table of 2. The ambience is nice with interesting decor. Some parts of the restaurants is a little more dimly lit than the rest. They also have outdoor bar stool seating. outdoor patio and nice comfy ac indoor seating which we opted for. We ordered the Franklin with mushroom sauce and an egg and strawberry shortcake. The Franklin was ok. After the first few bites you feel that the taste starts to downgrade. It's hard to describe but as you take every bites it's gets less better. The strawberry shortcake was too sweet with the whip cream on top of it, once you remove it , it's slightly better. Overall the food was just average.

We dropped by after a flight from Houston after seeing good reviews. We were skeptical about ordering because I wanted a burger, one of my kids wanted pizza, my other son wanted wings and my daughter wanted biscuits, lol, so surprisingly this place had all of the above. Surely this jack of many trades is master of none......I was dead wrong, everything was ever so ON POINT, the service was great we had to be the only brown people in this joint but we felt so welcomed the decorations, the music and overall atmosphere made for such cool vibes and I'm so glad to have found this gem!

The Beeler with cheddar
Julia B.

We were sat right away during lunch time and this place had lots of credible sources with being on food channels and awards. I went with the Beeler chicken biscuit that has house made ranch, house made pickles, and a Nashville hot chicken breast. It was not something I'd normally order but it was the best chicken biscuit I've ever had. Starters- The biscuit was massive, flaky but held together. Buttery but had its own flavor. Had a sweet taste that wasn't overpowering. The chicken was massive, juicy, crispy, seasoned spice but not super spicy. It wasn't a hot sauce flavor but a special batter flavor. It was so good. It had their ranch and homemade pickles which were a fresh pickle taste that would be missed if you took it off. I was glad it didn't taste cucumber-ish. I also added a slice of cheddar cheese. I ordered waffle fries which were crunchy in every bite with a great clean fried taste. I demolished my plate. We ordered the half size cinnamon roll to go and it was delicious and huge. Yum! Our waitress was nice and consistent. It was a bar/tavern setting therefore casual dress. Go there.

Pool table inside
Yulaidi S.

Came here after binging Triple D and checking out where in Denver Guy Fieri went to. Was not disappointed! I did miss out on trying the biscuit with the pulled pork since this location ran out but otherwise the biscuit I did try (the Louisiana hot chicken one) and pizza (I just had pep with banana pepper) was delicious. Food alone is great but the service was also very attentive and lively. Was also communicative about the timing of food due to it being two kitchens. Really appreciate it. Was even recommended to try out the other location since the biscuit I wanted wasn't available there. Place has a pool table near one side of the place and has a regular diner feel. It was great and I hope to come back to Denver to try the pulled pork!

Waffle fries
Abby T.

After a great concert at the Bluebird just down the street we decided to stop here for some food! We are so thankful thier kitchen is open till close. It was open seating and we were greated right away by our waitress Liz. Started with the Carmel espresso martini, our waitress informed us it was added to the menu that day. It was amazing, the sweet carmel with the tart espresso was a wonderful combination and perfect for the holidays. We then shared the waffle fries, the seasoning on the fries is so good and they were so crispy. After was the big ass slice, it was so kind of her to offer to cut in half for us since we split it. I was honestly blown away with how good the pizza was, the crust was not too thick but not too soft, it was just right. The cheese was stringy and not overly greasy. We devoured it so quickly. We ended the meal with the ice cream sando and to say it was delicious is an understatement. The taste of the fried biscuits with powder sugar reminded us of beignets thats how sweet and soft they were. They fell apart easily with just a spoon. The warm biscuit with cold oreo ice-cream between was the perfect paring. It also did not escape us that our waitress timed the food coming out perfectly! She waited until we were done eating our meal before bringing out the dessert. We loved that and were able to enjoy every last bite! We had a wonderful experience here, the food left us speechless and satisfied. Highly recommended this place, we will be back!

Great Rooftop Lounge for Date Night and Socializing…read more I visited 54thirty Rooftop Lounge for a date night and had a great experience. When we arrived, most of the covered seating and heater areas were already taken, so we ended up sitting in one of the uncovered sections. As it turned out, that was a blessing because the views were amazing. From where we were seated, we had beautiful views of downtown Denver and the surrounding cityscape. Between the skyline, lights, and rooftop atmosphere, it created a memorable evening. What impressed me most was the ambiance. The lounge had a lively but relaxed energy, and people were friendly and approachable. It felt like the kind of place where you could enjoy a date, meet new people, network, or simply unwind with friends over drinks and conversation. My date ordered food, but I honestly don't remember everything he had. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food, but since this is a rooftop lounge, the atmosphere was really the star of the show for me. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would return for the views, the social atmosphere, the drinks, and the opportunity to meet interesting people. Perfect for: Date nights, networking, socializing, drinks with friends, and enjoying Denver's skyline.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

Loved the decor and the plants all up in the space. The space is a bit more dimly lit and I think of a reasonable volume for a date. Would love to come back and spend some more time here.

I had the eggs Benedict with duck, which was savory and tender- would get again, even if it was a little small for a $22 meal. I also got a mimosa and a raspberry beret- the beret was delicious and served with the coolest presentation- they used dry ice to create smoke! The decor is very maximalist mid century- love it! Great for a date or if you are impressing someone. Don't let the location scare you off- everything around it looks closed but once you get inside it's absolutely beautiful. I can't end this review without gushing about the staff. I had a weird fainting episode and scared the crap out of my friend- our server and the rest of the staff were on it, so sweet and helpful. They got me a cold towel and an ice bucket so that I could recover. I was so impressed by how they handled everything! Ultimately, I would come back just for the service, but the food and drinks were excellent as well. Definitely worth returning for!

We also ordered appetizers of the burrata and the sweet potato croquette. Burrata is always fantastic! The croquettes were good. They were doing Star Wars themed drinks for May the 4th so Star Wars was playing in a screen (that you could barely see due to the sun). They both got the red velvet espresso martini topped with whipped coffee. It was cute but very sugary. Service was fantastic! The staff was so nice!! Maybe I'm just not used to inflation yet but the prices for everything just felt so expensive!!

-All drinks $5 - Cash Only-…read more Fun speakeasy near Union Station. Lincolns absolutely delivers on the speakeasy vibe - from trying to find the door, to figuring out how to actually get inside (LOL), to settling in with drinks once you're finally through. It makes the whole experience feel interactive and memorable. **Tip: it actually isn't too hard to find. I won't completely spoil it for people who want the fun of the hunt, but I'll leave a few hints at the bottom. The drink special that night - their version of an Old Fashioned - was excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The other cocktails are liquor + mixer with the soda or bar gun. We tried a local gin (can't remember the name) & soda and a Four Roses Bourbon & Pepsi. There was a odd flavor that came with that round and tasted watered down. Stick with the special. So good! I'd go back all day for the special alone. The staff was a little bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the experience. Everyone was nice, but they didn't seem especially engaged, and the attire didn't really match the speakeasy atmosphere. That said, the space itself is large and immersive enough that once we had our drinks, we just leaned into the whole experience and had a great time. HINTS: 1. Go to the address listed... duh. 2. Something is COOKING through the glass. 3. Find the stairs down. 4. If you hear music and see some impressive doors, figure out how to LIFT the handle to get inside.

Atmosphere: The theme here is so cool! It's all about Abraham Lincoln but with a modern, artistic twist. There's really neat artwork everywhere showing different looks of Lincoln. It feels like a true old timey speakeasy. It gets very busy after 8 PM, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the energy inside is awesome. Price: This is the most budget-friendly spot I've found in the area. Almost everything is $5! It is CASH ONLY, but don't worry if you forget. They have an ATM inside for you to use. Drink: I ordered the Continental, which is their take on an Old Fashioned with a black cherry. It was delicious and definitely didn't taste like a cheap drink despite the price point. Service: Despite how packed it was, the service was incredibly fast. We got our drinks in maybe 2-3 minutes tops. The staff is efficient and friendly. Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting and staying near Union Station or just looking for a fun local getaway, I highly recommend this place. We walked from our hotel, but if you drive, be prepared to look for street parking or a garage. It's fun, cheap, and has great theme nights. I'll definitely be back!
