I have a long history with Bar404, spanning over 10 years, two ownerships and 3 names. I've been part of the crowd at shows, part of the show in crowds with my FirePower Productions organization and, sometimes, I'm just there to watch a game without having anything to do with a stage... Now owned by the dynamic duo husband-wife team, Kerry and Jeannie, it seems the establishment is finally finding a true identity. The music they've got going regularly, both local and touring in all genres, shows they've definitely got an ear for terrific talent. They've become a regular venue for local nonprofit and fundraising events in an effort to pay it forward. They've an awesome biweekly Yoga Mayhem concept, stretching the music venue boundaries. And, of course, there's football screens every Sunday!! All and all, this venue isn't just a neighborhood corner bar but a community-building legacy in the making that the northern part of what becomes South Broadway has needed. It's been absolutely wonderful watching this iteration of the landmark building grow! I met Kerry in 2021, just as he had signed the lease for 404 and sold out his share of his previous partnership. He had big plans for the place, expanding the stage and building in the garage door that the previous owner had always wanted. With his wife as his partner and son behind the bar most days, you're supporting everything that is small business and family owned, family operated by being a patron. I can't think of a better, more invested family to support! After having known them socially for a while, as well as having musician friends that had worked with them, I reached out to them as I began thinking of a Christmas season series of popups for my live art production company. I had two events with them and my team. They were everything that is great to work with, with a staff that's beyond engaged and helpful. I can't recommend them more for anyone looking to have an event of any size! Long and short, as a patron and as talent that's been onstage, if you're looking for a good time or to show folks a good time, THIS IS YOUR PLACE for a midrange venue and full service bar food at a midrange price... otherwise, just pop in and enjoy the ambiance at the rail, at a high top, in a booth or on the great patio. read more

I go to bar 404 every now and then. I live across the street. I love the bartending staff. They are always so sweet, genuine and authentic. They really take care of you as a customer. The assortment of live music that comes through our 404 is astounding. There's always new bands, and it brings an energy of excitement and play every time there's a live act. This is the family run establishment and you can feel it in the heart of the patrons and the staff. They have a menu and keep someone there cooking late. I've had the hamburger the chicken sandwich, the tots, the french fries the meatballs... every time I've ordered I've really enjoyed it. One thing I like is that they have happy hour and they have a happy hour food menu. So if you're hungry for dinner early, this is a great spot to go eat and have a drink special too. They have events listed on their website or just pop in anytime, especially on a Sunday for football read more

Bar 404 - Gin and tonic and a shot of apple pucker - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

After visiting the Center, my daughter wanted lunch. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and i had prudently worn walking boots with my poofy tulle skirt, and she was wearing sneakers, so off we went down Broadway. Daughter was craving a burger. I suggested the Brutal Poodle, but alas, it was too far away. We both spotted Bar 404, and my daughter said, "I bet they have good burgers." So we went in. This is clearly a local hangout. No one greeted us when we walked in, which may or may not have been because of the tulle skirt, or the fur jacket. Anyway. I went to the bar and asked how we got a menu. A nice man immediately gave me his. We sat down, and water arrived from one of the smiling bartenders. Daughter wanted fried pickles. I wanted the truffle fries. We got the fried pickles, which were DELICIOUS! They have Impossible burgers! Yay! And gluten-free buns! Woohoo!!! And crispy yummy fries!!! We both enjoyed our lunch tremendously. I could only finish half my burger and half my fries. Mainly because I stuffed my face with fried pickles. Oops. Puffy allergy face incoming. Sigh. Perfect dive bar. They have live music, too! Daughter will be 21 in a couple of months. She can't wait, lol. Fun fact: the kids' menu is for kids 19 and under. Yes, 19. Never saw THAT before. read more

I have no clue why I have never seen this bar before. We stopped in for lunch down the street and then saw that bar and decided to pop in for a drink and check it out. Next time, we will have to try the food. It looked really good. Our bartender was a nice cute blonde girl that was super chatty. She had a great personality and seemed like she could talk to you about anything. We only stayed for a beer but we will definitely be by again. Fun place and cool vibe. read more

A friend of mine Julie Monley was singing her jazz tonight. I like the neighborhood feel. Me and my friend are not a fan of the mixed drinks or the food. The service was nice. This venue is a great neighborhood kickback kind of place to listen to local talent. read more

The burger was really good and was served with crispy fries, and I don't just say that about any burger so if you trust my judgment you should come here just to give it a try. Service was good too and the bartender was an Eagles fan - go Birds ! The place itself could use some updating in my opinion but overall no complaints at all. There are 3 tv screens over the bar, but this place doesn't have a sports bar vibe. There's a section that looks like it's for live music, I need to check that out some day. read more

What an incredible dive bar/restaurant. My friend Zach and I were greeted immediately upon coming in. It is on Broadway so it definitely gives that "I don't know what's behind these doors" feeling when you walk up to it. However, I am the one to take that risk. After all, I am a yelper! We sit down and order a couple of drinks. They were perfect drinks for a Dive Bar. Nothing was underwhelming. We ordered burgers. I got an impossible patty on mine. It was honestly flavorful, and the Brioche Bun was a nice touch. I had wanted to try this joint for quite some time, so I am glad I took the leap. I think I found my new neighborhood dive. read more

Stopped in here with my daughter to kill some and watch the Nuggets game. Great neighborhood/local vibe, good food, and excellent service with a smile. Would go back. read more

Went to listen to a band but smoking on the patio ruined the experience and mean we left smelling like someone else's ashtray. I won't be back. read more

We stopped by for a show at the last day of the Underground Music Festival yesterday and loved the vibe and the sound. Met the owner Jeannie, who was a delight. It's cool to see mom and pop business thrive and people who love music put it on in a heartfelt way. read more

Great spot on Broadway. Tasty food. I had the Philly cheese steak. Went great with a couple beers. I would get it again. Seemed like a chill night so it was an order at the bar kind of thing. The bartender was super friendly. The weather was nice so we sat out on the patio. 5 or six tables out there. Smoke and dog friendly patio as well. Not going to blow your mind or anything. But it does not seem like that's what there are going far. Just a good place to have a couple pints, some food, good conversation and a couple laughs. read more

Half music venue, other half Sports bar. Jazz, big band, bluegrass circles, metal - they have a variety of live bands. Patio tables & servers. Food is great, if a bit above average price. Strong drinks & a step from dive bar feel, this staple is a neighborhood fave. read more

The 420 fish and chips were overpriced. Two decent but small pieces but the third was all breading, tiny, with the smallest bit of fish inside the fried fluffy beer-battered encasement. Maybe it should be advertised as "fried beer batter" instead? No coleslaw either. Broadway Bretzel was terribly dry for 11 dollars, crispy almost burned. Not enough cheese sauce to make it able to be choked down safely. I chased with water shot after every bite. Was not pleased with price or quality. They can do better and have pride in their food. read more

I only had a two evening stay in Denver, and my hotel suggested this place for a good burger... The burger and fries were perfect, atmosphere was awesome...a genuine dive bar with a great kitchen! I decided to return the next night and had the fish and chips, and they were as good as anywhere I've been...including England, lol. Service was good and super friendly!! read more

The food was definitely a 7 out of a ten. I took a homeless couple to come and eat a dinner with me. I wanted the mushroom burger. But they didn't have any mushrooms. So I had the Philly cheese steak and I wasn't impressed. But I also had some truffle fries and a salad. Those were very good . The waitress Bailey was exceptional. My dad use to take us there when we were kids. He would drink and my siblings would eat the food and play games. I would highly recommend it. The atmosphere was actually pretty chill and relaxing. read more

We are locals and live in the neighborhood we've been about 5-6 times and there is a particular weekend bartender that is the most rudest person ever. Her service is terrible, she ignores customers for her "friends". She makes terrible drinks as well. I work in the industry and I really love the food and energy at 404 but after having to deal with this poor service from this same bartender multiple times I'm not going to be returning. Also bathrooms are gross. read more

Although. this place could serve as the poster-child of dive bats, it's worth visiting if only for its jazz on Wednesday. One day a week isn't much but given the paucity of jazz clubs in Denve we take what we can get. The night we were- there the quartet had an interesting tune list and three-fourth of the musicians were very good. If they could get the showboat saxophonist to calm down, they'd really have something. The food is unremarkable but edible. Ee'll be back. read more

To put it in the simplest way possible: this place is BUSSSSIN. From the mozz curds to the fricklespears all da way to the damn truffle fries! W o w bless this bar food. And shout out to the friendly bartender ! And the cherry on top is I am sober. The lemonade was fire, god bless read more

The service is excellent. The food is good. I've only had the giant pretzel, but everyone else liked what they ordered. My favorite is the patio, where you can people watch and see the crazy bikers doing wheelies down Broadway. It's a very chill place. I recommend it. Nick is the owner and very friendly & will set up your group meetings if you need one. read more

Solid food. Tremendous service. Big fan of the bar's Wednesday night jazz sessions.

Enjoyed a couple of beers and lunch on Saturday. Tommy, the bartender, was very friendly and gave great service. We enjoyed our meal. The hamburger and fries and meatballs and garlic toast were very tasty. Will definitely be back. The dining bar area was nice. I love exposed brick. read more

The bartender who overcharges nearly $100 should be glad no one has pressed charges on her instead of berating customers who ask her to fix her mistake!!! read more

I am extremely disappointed to be writing this review but the bartender lady with brunette/blonde hair is disrespectful and rude. I cannot believe she embarrassed my fiancé about tipping when he asked for a refund on an accidental 90$ tip. She gave him a whole lecture about how we don't tip well enough and to tip more next time. I'm a bartender too, I also make 2-3% in tips per tab but what I don't do is be fucking disrespectful to my regulars that come here and bring multiple others here multiple times a month. We loved this place, now we're never going back. Genuinely if this lady stopped working there we'd happily come back everyone else is wonderful. -Sadie and Alex read more
