Staff here are fantastic! The happy hour food menu is great. Can't miss on the beer either. Will definitely make it a regular thing.

Love this brewery. Great local spot and one of the few places to get some quality drinks and food in Jefferson Park. I ordered off the happy hour menu - which I would recommend - I think they have a great happy hour. Got the chicken slider, burger, and a beer. The chicken slider was good - toppings were a nice touch and elevated it. Light breading, and juicy. The burger was great - nothing over the top - just a solid cheeseburger with a good sauce, and potato chips to go with it. I have had good experiences here, and love the rooftop too. Will definitely return and recommend if you're in the area looking for a drink or quick bite. Does get quite busy, especially when there are events at Mile High so be prepared - not many other spots in that area on that side of the stadium read more

This is my second visit to this place so I feel like I need to review it. Sat at the bar with a friend and we each decided on a beer to start. We ordered the Rosemary fries which were very crispy and fresh do they did not last long. The bartender was very nice and was very attentive. I decided on the wings and my friend ordered a spicy burger. I got a full order of wings and they come out with lots of celery carrot which I love. I always get dry rub and sauce on the side so I can control the mess and the sauce. My friend's burger looked fantastic and it came with homemade chips which, were some of the best I've ever had! Their beer list is many and what I had I enjoyed. They also have a list of cocktails and wine. There's outdoor seating at ground level and a roof that has tables and a bar. I will return to try some of the other things that caught my eye. read more

We came to Briar Common the day after moving to Denver, and it ended up being exactly the kind of spot we needed after a long weekend of hauling boxes and settling in. Great location, relaxed vibes, especially on a Sunday evening. The beer was solid, but the food stole the show (mostly across the board). Most of our group was happy with their dishes. I had the steak sandwich with a side salad, and the sandwich was top tier. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich, and this one absolutely hit the spot. It was also pretty large, which made it more of a fork-and-knife situation than a handheld one, but no complaints there. A few people in our party upgraded their sides to the sweet potato fries, which were next level. Perfect balance of crispiness with a hint of sweetness that made them stand out. One miss in the group was the mac and cheese; my sister ordered it and wasn't a fan, felt it was too liquidy/runny and underwhelming compared to everything else we tried. Only minor knock overall was that the kitchen was pretty slow, especially considering it wasn't very busy late on a Sunday evening. Not a dealbreaker, but something worth noting if you're in a hurry. Overall, great first Denver meal; good beer, mostly good food, and a relaxed spot that made for a solid welcome to the city. read more

Nice outdoor seating and tasty meal. Service was okay, nothing special. The food was great after stepping off a plane. Not a great view, but the food made up for it. Brussels sprouts were amazing. read more

Date night with another couple and were excited to try Briar Common Brewery. First - super cool building. Love the vibes, the interior decor and second floor + outdoor patio options. We didn't take advantage of the patio vibes or rooftop deck with a fire pit, but this is still on our list! While waiting for a table, we cozied up to the bar and ordered drinks. One of the bartenders noticed I ordered the hibiscus margarita and asked me, offhandedly, if I was a fan of spice. Yes, please. With that, he cancelled my order and made me something "not on the menu" but what I called the "Patrick special." So good. Thanks, sir! We ordered burgers and shared their buffalo cauliflower starter. This, my friend, was absolutely amazing. Loved the buffalo spice paired with the bleu cheese. Easy way to enjoy some veggies. And along the same theme, I ordered the Buff and Bleu burger. This was so good, so flavorful and so messy. Don't judge me, but I resorted to using my fork, lol! It was so well balanced. Will have again. Parking here means street parking, but there were plenty of open spots on a Saturday night. The walk was nice. We can't wait to return, maybe on a game day, or maybe to enjoy Sunday brunch on the rooftop. Maybe a sunset for another date night. With this level of yumminess, the possibilities are endless. read more

Great food and beer and the staff were very nice. Highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower.

Great spot tucked right into the neighborhood. As much as Denver has grown this place looks and feels like what I knew from nearly 20+ years ago. The staff is down to earth and welcoming. Even though we came on a slower night it just felt good as the restaurant was slowly filling up. I ordered the Pub Nachos but silly me I forgot to add a protein. My bad but I would certainly return to do just that and spend some time hanging out a bit. The nachos were good as is and the homemade chips had the texture of plantains but not really. tough to describe but overall I would certainly order them again. Would recommend this place and would even try the other dishes too. We were in a bit of a crunch due to the Avs playing and getting to the Can but next time I'll have to spend a little more extra time to soak up the vibe! read more

Our group from different states enjoyed early tailgating at this establishment. We arrived before opening and the folks in line were very friendly. Once the doors opened we walked in and took the stairs for outdoor deck seating. Beautiful day and locally brewed beverages gave everyone a break before walking to the stadium. The kitchen menu had some great options but the delivery schedule to the tables did not allow us to try the buffalo cauliflower!!! Post game we returned here to sample more beverages while the traffic floweee out of the stadium. We then Uber'd back into town for our hotel Very friendly place !! read more

I hate to leave bad reviews but unfortunately this place just completely missed the mark for me. Prior to our reservation, I tried calling 10+ times through the day (during business hours) because we needed to update our reservation. However, no one answered the phone once. Other people in the reservation even tried calling in case it was my phone that was the issue but it was not. Once we arrived, staff were very kind and attentive to our table which was very appreciated. I have nothing but kind words to say about the staff. However, I ordered the Mac n cheese which came out practically like soup. The sauce was very liquidy so I felt like I was drinking my Mac. Unfortunately, I did not eat much because of this. The sweet potato fries were delicious especially with the cinnamon on them. My friends ordered burgers and enjoyed their meals. Overall, the restaurant had a cool vibe to it and the drinks were great. I just wish we were able to have our phone calls answered to update the reservations and I wish the Mac n cheese was less soupy! read more

I took a friend from out of town here after she visited Meow Wolf last Tue. I wanted to try something new. When we arrived, the staff (particularly the bartender) seemed pissed off that we were there. Many of the cocktails listed on their website were no longer in the rotation. The food was delicious. Adorable patio! read more

Server was great and gave us a good suggestion to share the steak sandwich and poke salad since we wanted to try both and were unsure of what to order. Poke salad was very fresh and tasted amazing. I always get nervous with poke salads after having some bad protein at different restaurants in the past, but this one was really good, fresh and delicious. Don't be afraid to try it!!! Drinks: The Freckled Rhu-Barbie is really good!!! One in a Melon is good, but I'd take the Freckled Rhu-Barbie instead. Mid day on a Tuesday afternoon - this place was mellow. There were people but it was a very chill atmosphere. read more

Wanted a nice, relaxing meal when we arrived to Denver, and Briar Common checked all the boxes! We sat in their outdoor patio, which kept us shaded from the heat and had a nice breeze with a view of the park. Plus, they allow dogs on their patio. Always a bonus! So many delicious options. After looking it up, we knew we had to try their Buffalo Cauliflower. And oh my god - the reviews didn't lie but still somehow undersold this cauliflower. Perfectly crisp and smothered in a creamy buffalo sauce. We got it as an appetizer to share for the table, but it would've been just as good as a meal as well. Their Filet o Beer sandwich was also tasty, and I found myself really enjoying the fries, too. Not often do you enjoy both, but here that was the case. Great drink, options. Their Lost Summer Days Sangria was delicious. They also make a good espresso martini. Fan of Earl Grey? Then you'll love their Fade to Black - always a rarity to find Early Grey-flavored drinks, but they crafted this so well. Service was incredible. Wish I remembered her name, but our server was fantastic. I mis-ordered a drink, but didn't say anything because it was my fault. She heard me mention it, though, and offered to make a new one. So sweet! Parking wasn't too bad - we found street parking right across the street. I'd imagine it would be a bit harder to find parking when it's busy, though - we visited mid afternoon during the week. Overall, a great choice for lunch or a drink out with friends. Highly recommend! read more

My last bite before flying out and it was perfect - light yet filling and delicious ! Parking: There's street parking in the area. There were a lot of signs about times you could park there, which was confusing ... Seating/ space: There's space was cute and had a casual but nice vibe. There were regular tables, high tops, and bar seating . There was an upstairs as well but I don't think it was open. There seemed to be a patio also Service: The service was great. Everyone was nice and upbeat. The timing of when they came by was perfect too Food: The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious! My friend had the burger which they loved. I had the poke bowl salad which was absolutely refreshing and delicious ! read more

Everything here was solid, but nothing was mind-blowing. The Buffalo Cauliflower was very good, and the blue cheese sauce was nice and creamy with just a hint of the blue cheese tang without it being overpowering. The Brussels sprouts were yummy, Briar Burger very good and the melty egg was a great touch. Only issues (and no deal-breakers, just minor complaints) were the Rosemary Fries needed *lots* more rosemary, and the service was... not slow, but, lackidaisical is probably the best word. Definitely would come back, though. Lots of stuff on the menu sounded really good and overall the food was quite good. read more

The food and beer were great. The buffalo cauliflower was my favorite. Perfect amount of buffalo and a mild blue cheese. Service was pretty slow, served never asked us what we wanted for dinner after serving appetizers and never asked if we wanted another round. We had to wave him down after he cleared the apps and didn't come back to take our dinner order. They just cleared the table after our flight and apps. Over all we were there two hours. read more

This place is Great to come have a few beers! You walk in and you feel like you belong. The young Lady behind the bar was so kind and fun! Made good recommendations for food since they don't serve any, but encouraged us to come back to eat! Also invited us to the bars Crawfish bowl the next day. You can't beat the kindness of folks in the south! Don't have time to stay and have a beer, it's ok they have plenty in the cooler you can buy to go! read more

Briar was great if you're looking for a good group setting in downtown! They had an extensive beer menu and the waitress was amazing at giving recommendations. The Buffalo cauliflower appetizer was sooo good probably my favorite I've ever had. It was saucy but still crisp underneath. And the goat cheese dip had a tomato jam that paired perfect with the drinks. They also had a very cool seafood display set up in the middle of the restaurant which gave it a very upscale feel read more

We came here for dinner at about 7:30 and there was a couple open tables. The host was very kind and helpful with helping us get a car seat sling for our baby. The server was very attentive and helpful with recommendations. Husband got a beer and a Ruben sandwich. He really enjoyed both. I tried the chips that came with the sandwich and they were too salty for me. I got the small plates Mac and cheese and it was enough food for my dinner. I was not a huge fan of the flavor of it, it almost had a burnt taste to it (husband called it earthy). The baby was starting to get antsy so the server got us our bill quickly. read more

My girlfriend and I recently dined here and left feeling disappointed by the service we received. Our waitress, Delaney, was inattentive throughout the meal and came across as having an attitude from the beginning. At one point, she tossed utensils onto our table rather than setting them down, which felt disrespectful and unprofessional. What bothered us most was that she seemed particularly dismissive and disrespectful toward my girlfriend, which made an already uncomfortable situation even worse. Instead of enjoying our time together, the experience left us feeling tense throughout the meal. We also noticed that other tables around us appeared to be having similar issues, including long waits for checks and missing items from their orders. The restaurant was clearly experiencing service problems that day. We came in looking forward to a nice meal and a pleasant evening together, but the poor service made it difficult to enjoy the experience. I hope management looks into these concerns and works to improve the customer experience going forward. read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday night and the food wasn't too bad, just average. My partner got the poke nachos, I think they could have been a little more generous with the fish portion and the chips were a bit on the stale side but the sauces and flavors on the nachos were pretty good. I'm not really used to having pickled onions on my poke nachos, but they had it here and it was alright. I got the chicken plate which was fried chicken, cheesy garlic mash, and the mixed berry compote. The batter on the chicken was tasty and i enjoyed the compote...the mash was a bit on the salty side but wasn't too bad. For dessert, we got the salted caramel brownie, which was a nice shareable portion. Very decadent and rich though, so does get a bit heavy over time. We ended up leaving maybe 1/5 of it leftover. Ambiance is fine, kinda small inside but the day we went it was pretty dead...not sure how busy it can get on the weekends though Parking is just whatever is available on the street, just follow the signs on the street and you should be okay. Service was quick and friendly. read more

GF ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. I ordered the poke nachos. The wonton chips were a bit stale, and the fish portion felt a little light. I never had pickled onions with poke nachos and I don't think I'm a fan of the flavor combination. The fried chicken was fried to perfection with a nice thin batter and juicy chicken! The potatoes were a bit salty but packed with plenty of flavor. The service was perfect, we got our food on time and was serviced well. The ambiance is clean inside but it is a bit small, the total amount of people it can host is about 50. read more

Great patio. Have waiter service inside (need reservation on weekends) and open seating on rooftop and outside patio. We sat outside and ordered food and drinks at the bar. Food came out quickly and drinks were yummy. I tried a summer non-alcoholic cocktail which was so refreshing and good. Street parking. Easy walk to Empower Field, so we stopped here before walking over for a concert. read more

This place is top notch. We've been here a couple of times & always get the buffalo cauliflower, it seems pricey but it's a huge platter that we never finish so in my opinion it's worth it. We've gotten beer in the past but this last time we got mixed drinks & they do a nice job I also appreciate their GF options. My friend & I shared a Rueben w/ GF bread & it was very good. We came for a late lunch & it wasn't busy. We were talking a lot so I'm not sure if that's why service was a little slow but I'd say that was the only complaint I had. It is a divey type place so no need to dress up & it's the type of place you could hang out at all day. read more

Affordable happy hour, esp for that part of town. The food is not great, and the flies on the patio are bad, but I would go back if o was in the neighborhood and on a budget read more

Not a great experience overall. Couldn't sit outside even though it was a gorgeous fall day. Average bar food, yet expensive. I would almost put money on betting that was hooters hot wing sauce they used. The weirdest part was I went to the bathroom and there was a line, so a bartender told me there was another one upstairs. Went up there and the soap dispenser ended up being broken. I went back downstairs to wash my hands and tell the bartender. She said, "we know"...so why send me up there?! read more

Probably my favorite food spot in the area. I've had the buff & blue burger, the steak sandwich, and the fried chicken sandwich. All amazing. Sweet potato fries are the way to go for the side. Only thing holding me back from 5 stars is I really wish there was an online order option. I have social anxiety sometimes. read more

Got into Denver after a long drive and needed some afternoon refreshment. Our Airbnb host recommended Briar Common since it was right up the block, and it turned out to be a solid recommendation. We both got the Das Bueno lager, which was cold, crisp, and had a pleasantly-floral hint to it. Since it was happy hour, we indulged in some appetizers; the buffalo cauliflower was amazing, and the fries a truly gourmet experience. Service was very prompt, attentive, and friendly, and the atmosphere was just lively enough to give the place a good feel in the afternoon. read more

The beer is great (highly recommend!!), and the service is also excellent! Food is pretty meh to be honest; I ordered a steak salad MR and they were the driest most unflavorful unseasoned chunks of meat. The actual salad was nice. But then the Garlic Rosemary Fries sounded like they'd be so delightful, but it's just regular fries with garlic flavored salt...let down. read more

What a nice spot! The service is excellent and the atmosphere is nicely lit and the tables are far away enough for some privacy. The Happy Hoir is where its at! Nice big HH menu with many options. I think the 2 of us will make it our of here with full bellies and 2 drinks for under $50 with tip! The menu is legit too with some seasonal items. Things are homemade. The blue cheese under the tempura buffalo cauliflower creamy mild and delightfu! Pro Spicy Tip: Ask for their hot sauce. It's a fresh green chilie salsa, not super hot but tasty! read more

While we did not try the beer, the Reuben Sandwich was awesome. The bread was crispy, the corned beef was flavorful and the thousand island was tangy. Just right!

We came for dinner with a group of 5 during a Sunday night football game. Although they were busy, we were able to get a seat inside right away. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We ordered beers which we all enjoyed. For food, we ordered burgers and fish and chips. The food came out pretty quickly and we were impressed with the portion sizes. Our burgers were cooked just as we liked and the fish and chips were so hot and crispy. We really loved all the food and atmosphere and would definitely come back! read more

Visited for a quick drink with my wife on the afternoon of 4-19-26. Went to the bar and was ignored by the male bartender while he had an extended conversation with another customer. He was not serving or taking an order, just shooting the breeze. I waited for several minutes until I could get someone else's attention. After a while it became clear that he was inebriated - I clocked a THC drink on the counter behind him and his coworkers were visibly frustrated with him. At some point he took an extended phone call outside the patio where we were sitting and was loudly making threats on his phone to someone, just steps away from customers. Normally I enjoy this place but it was just bad vibes all around, and if I ever return and see this dude working, I'll be outta there. read more
