Don't commit these crimes! #1 Never ask, upon entering the premises and grabbing a seat on the patio, if there is wait service or if you order at the bar. This will earn you your first slap of attitude. The reply is something like, "I'll get to you." #2 Never expect the drinks to come quickly after ordering. Enjoy your water. #3 Never take too long in deciding what you want to eat after drinks arrive because you will never get another chance to order. #4 Never expect good service, as noted by another reviewer, if you aren't a regular. They don't like you, they don't want your business. #5 Never expect the bartender, Randy, to give you anything if you ask for it. We were there for AN HOUR and he never bothered to come back to take our food order. He looked at us several times, even waved at us in this weird, cheeky way as if taunting us, but never returned to the table. It was as if he wanted us to just go away. And so we did. Never to return. BTW, this wasn't the first time I experienced this very same treatment from the bartenders at Bar Nun. This was my second time. Benefit of the doubt resulted in a waste of time and no dinner. *One shining comment: the Breckenridge Palisade Peach Wheat beer is completely delicious!! I would highly recommend it! read more

Awesome unholy little bar with great atmosphere and food. Will visit again when on Denver!

We came in for a late night drink and the bartenders were super nice! Lots to look at on the walls!

Me and 7 of my friends stopped by this bar on New Year's Eve and bought about $100 worth of drinks in one order (round of shots, round of beers . Shortly after sitting down, the owner yelled out that the bar is closing and everyone needs to leave now. He then immediately came right up to us and repeated this, yelling we need to leave now the bar is closing. We would not have bought these drinks if we had known that the bar was closing within minutes, best practice would have been to tell us "last call". The result was us getting up and leaving without even being able to have one sip. I understand that the staff were eager to leave since it was New Year's Eve, but it was incredibly rude and disrespectful to kick us out shortly after giving them $100 worth of business. What should have happened was they either tell us that it was last call when ordering, or not serve us at all. but when they sold us all those drinks and then immediately kicked us out it left a bad taste in our mouth. I can honestly say that I rarely leave reviews and this is my first time not giving out a five star review, but it was so bad that I felt that I needed to do this. It was not fair. read more

service and food was below par, order was wrong and beans were on it even though beans are not listed on the menu? also, server walked in and said "i'm hungover as shit". won't ever be coming back here read more

First time coming here and the drinks were fantastic. Michelle the bartender made me feel so welcome and I will definitely be back to see her! read more

My friends and I stumbled on Bar Nun while looking for parking. I am so happy we did. I loved the copious religious decor and the friendly service, but my very favorite thing about Bar Nun was the pickle shot. At only $3, I was doubtful of the quality, but the shot was perfection - a fantastic mix of pickles, vodka and beer with an unbelievable mix of spices. Later, the owner, Butch, told us about the process for making the shots. Ask him about it when you stop by. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about the food, too. We had fried cheese curds and the Three Wise Men. So. Freaking. Good. Get to this bar now. read more

If you like to get violently screamed at to leave 15 minutes before they close this is the place for you. Me and my partner go here all the time and have enjoyed it until now. I get it, it's hard to work late hours but forcing paying/loyal customers out after you just served them a beer not too long before you close is bad business. Maybe making their last call earlier would help their frustration of whatever demons they have and also not literally screaming at people would go a long way. We showed up ordered our beers, last call happened and we had no intention of staying past close. Yet we were harassed, screamed at to "GET THE F@$K OUT." When there were 10 minutes to spare. If you stay open until 2AM and make last call at 1:45AM and are mad that not everyone can pound a beer that fast then get a better system because you obviously are losing business by your hostile attitudes. We were regulars but not anymore. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. Specifically, the short haired brunette working the bar is completely rude and incompetent. Why would you have an employee working there who absolutely hates her job. This lady walks around like she is doing us all a favor by being at work that day. The entire staff looked high and hungover. Food was awful. Wow, you can make OK wings... everything else was barely edible. If you want VERY mediocre food HORRIBLE service and LOTS of attitude, you're in the right place! Oh and don't ask what beer they have, because the little girl with the BIG attitude doesn't know and will LITERALLY shrug her shoulders and say "I don't know." Complete waste of space. read more

I'm so full but I can NOT stop eating! The Bar Nun Signature Slider was so good and the black bean slider was awesome too! You can't beat the friendly and knowledgeable staff. You will laugh off some off the amazing calories you eat especially if you eat the fries designed to last up to 45 minutes in the to-go containers post covid friendly delivery design. Say hi to Butch, the owner who is always there... say Jennifer M. Sent ya! Full bar, ample seating, local artists monthly exhibitors! We will be back! Patio seating, garage doors, super historic cool building. Street parking is not an issue. Put this on your list. Very fair pricing and perfect portions. A little too perfect! read more

Absolutely love this bar! Best pickle shots in denver, hands down! Have to come here if you're looking for a great late night snack. The bartenders make you feel right at home with their hospitality. Big shoutout for them. Thanks Joe! read more

Quirky environment, good food and drinks! Great place to hang out the service is always attentive and quick! I'll absolutely be back!

Randy is the absolute best bartender and an absolute gem. My go to spot in the cap hill area and couldn't recommend the ambience and vibe more!! Love this place and everyone who works there! read more

Cool little neighborhood bar near the Capital. I suspect a lot of back room political horse-trading takes place at Bar Nun. Check it out if you are in the area; explore the underside of downtown Denver! And... the pizza is very good! read more

The food was good, the drinks are.. well just drinks you can get anywhere. The atmosphere was definitely confusing. There was some punk mixed with 80's, mixed with "woke", mixed with goth, mixed with local neighborhood hangout feel. It was fine. It wasn't a must see bar though. read more

Love this spot man, sorta tucked away, great vibes, cool a$$ bartenders & a great kitchen! 10/10

Overrated... super slow service. Waited 15 minutes at the bar on a slow night. Would not recommend

Poorly made drinks and service. Food is not very good. Don't understand what this place is trying to accomplish with the rebranding. Seem to have become much worse. Or covid has just run them down that much. It was mostly the extremely forgetful and inexperience staff that made write this review. I understand dive bars are what they are. But this is something else. read more

This was the worst experience and customer service I have ever experienced. I was excited to go for my birthday and have a chill night and it was not that. I ordered a beer and a shot of vodka and I was served tequila not once, but twice. I ordered a pizza, asked what one of the ingredients on it was and I just got a shoulder shrug. My friend got a Philly which came out waaaay before my food and said it was the most subpar cheesesteak he'd ever had. I asked about my pizza and if it was coming out and he went to check on it, but ignored me after I said, "I understand if it's being handmade, but I would like to know so that my friends food doesn't get cold sitting here." It took AN HOUR to get my pizza and when I asked for a box I was told, "yeah we'll see. I'll get to it when I get to it." And waited another 30 minutes before anyone got me a box after asking 2 different bartenders. Any time I had talked about an activity that I enjoyed doing while trying to catch up with my friend, the bartender that said "yeah we'll see," kept butting in and saying "no thanks" and "fuck that". I will never go back. The best thing about the night was the churros we ordered for dessert and one of the bartenders got excited and told us it comes with ice cream, which was a bit of whiplash from the earlier behavior. Best dessert churro I've ever had, but I don't know that I would come back just for that. Me personally as a bartender at another establishment and having worked in the service industry for a long time, would never treat people the way I was treated. I tried to give them some grace because I understand having bad days, personally and at work, but this was such a bummer especially after so many friends have recommended this place to me. All I wanted to do was have a chill night and celebrate my birthday with my friend and unfortunately this ended up being my first experience here. read more

If I could give 0 stars I absolutely would. The service was incredibly slow, we were outright ignored at the bar, and it wasn't until someone who wasn't even working came over to take our order that we got our drinks. They then lost my friend's card, charged someone else's, and never even said sorry. The staff all seemed to be intoxicated, overwhelmed by a half full bar, and according to one of the bartenders the wrong card being charged is a regular occurrence. read more

I love this place. Best of the best. Really enjoyed the service, the food, the music. Everything about this place feels like home.

Since I live in the area I've visited a few times but I haven't had a chance to try most items on the menu since they've only recently opened. However, their wings are really good...perhaps the best in the area. I usually get them naked, extra crispy with buffalo & blue cheese on the side. Their giant pretzel is super soft and toasty on the outside , as it should be, so you can't go wrong but get there early because they often sell out. Drink pours are generous and overall prices are quite reasonable. I'm so happy to have this place back under new management and under a new name! read more

So happy this place opened! Staff was super friendly. Spoke to the owners who were awesome. Oh and the pizza was great!

Great food, drinks and service. All COVID precautions were observed and there is plenty of space to spread out.

The best thing about this place is their gluten free chicken tenders. They also have delicious pickle shots. The atmosphere is pretty cozy but it seems like you have to be a regular to get service. I've never been ignored so hard in my life. I sat at the bar, saw the bartenders look at me and then walk away. I watched a couple sit across from me a couple minutes later, whom I gathered were regulars, and they were greeted and gotten drinks right away. I've never considered raising my hand in a restaurant for service before. I didn't actually do it but I wish I did. I thought about walking out but I really wanted those chicken tenders. It took 10/15 minutes of me sitting there to be greeted by someone who wasn't even a bartender. They got my drink, slammed it down on the bar, spilling it without noticing, and walked away without asking if I needed anything else. I was sitting there hangry with a puddle in front of me, no napkin and no water. Took another 10 minutes of me waiting and having to ask the bar back if he can find someone I can order from to order food. I wanted another drink but no one came and asked me if I was doing ok or if I wanted another one. I had my card on the bar for a solid amount of time before someone noticed and closed me out. After all that, no one apologized to me for the long wait. Probably added at least 45 minutes to my visit time that I was just sitting there waiting for someone to pay attention to me. read more

The Bloody Mary is great. Hot but not too hot. Thick and rich with flavor. The people coming in here seem like regulars that love the place and the owner, Butch. Very welcoming. read more

Fun spot. I love a good bowl of fries and they delivered. Super cozy with all the right vibes. Will be back.

Great neighborhood bar! Fun people and atmosphere. Butch and O'Neil are the best bartenders you could ask for.

For a place that claims to be an LGBT "safe space" that might be a stretch. Came on 3/11 and had the worst waitress. We had already come in on 3/9 and had no problems. This time my girlfriend showed the waitress her ID, and the waitress was SO rude. Said "I don't know if I can serve you, let me take this to my manager" and my girlfriend literally gave her her PASSPORT CARD. The waitress took the two ids back to the manager (apparently) and comes back and says "Um I can't serve you." Gave NO reason and was SO rude about it. Spoke with a bitchy attitude. Didn't take TWO FORMS OF GOVERNMENT ID. One of which we had used, TWO DAYS BEFORE! And it worked fine...? Not to mention my girlfriend is a lesbian, masculine looking woman..... clearly this waitress just had something against LGBT people? What other reason would there be to be an absolute bitch and not take TWO FORMS of ID? Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Best hospitality ever! The food is excellent and they have an educated staff who knows how to pair just the right beer. Love the atmosphere and also LOVE Butch, ask for him. read more

I went to Bar Nun during a snow storm because all I wanted was a burger. The options are great and the value is incredible. They have a slider deal where you can pick and choose. The hickory slider was awesome! The waffle fries are so crispy and delicious. I left full and happy! read more

Love the place, the owner, and the staff. Greaf drinks, food, and music! Tables are very spaced out. Great neighborhood spot!

So great to have a neighborhood bar with such high level food and service. They're patio is enormous and heated!

Great Neighborhood bar! I really enjoyed their burgers and pizza. They have a decent selection of food considering we are locked down to patio and togo only. The pickle shots are bomb! read more
