Friendly neighborhood sports bar. Good place to watch a game. Recommend the bacon cheeseburger.

I came to town a few weeks back, planned on meeting friends at a bar we used to go to all the time back in college(circa 2007) called Quixotes. I really wasn't looking forward to having to trudge through questionable puddles in the bathroom and yell over deafening noise to tell my friends how fat and old they got. It was a huge relief when I was leaving my air b&b(super late as always) and they told me plans had changed because the old dive wasn't open anymore or something and to meet them down the street at the Campus Lounge. I thought "welp, just traded one dingy dungeon for another". Oh man, I was so incredibly impressed with the way this place has glowed up. It's incredible how places can still hold the same nostalgia but be completely different and revamped. I loved the patio, and the staff was immaculate. We had a server named Cody Rose and she was incredibly charismatic and witty all the while being completely attentive to our little reunion while the whole restaurant was busy and bustling with commerce. Drinks stayed full the food came out hot! The food, OMG, The menu was actual food, like, not just something college age wasted people slather in their gullet to sober up for the walk home. I got the Brisket French dip Sandwich and my taste buds broke into dance like late 90s early 2000's dance( you know the dougie and nae nae, Gotta forgive the taste buds, they're old now.) Brisket was juicy and flavorful and the bacon gave it the perfect flavor punch. Top notch. Next time I'm in town this is definitely going to be on my list of spots to stop. Great Job Campus on growing up, you have aged much better than me and my friends! Thanks to Cody Rose for making our night memorable, well as much as our old brains can remember... 5 star all around read more

We finally found a place with excellent food and friendly service where we can bring our Eagles-fan friend to watch the game. This is the best incarnation of the Campus Lounge ever! We'll be back - and on a regular basis! Thanks Christa! read more

My first time back since they reopened. I sat outside today with a group as part of a reservation. Staff was light and slow which was disappointing but when they were able to serve us they did an excellent job. My bloody Mary's were delicious as was my happy hour $10 chicken sandwich with tots (huge sandwich!). I'll be back for that chicken sandwich! read more

I arrived at Campus Lounge to watch Avalanche at Coyotes. I took a random seat at a table and then the group at the next table invited me to take their table as they were leaving. I moved to the better positioned table. Then a rude red-headed biatch told me I could not sit there. Really? I was there first and I am a regular customer. According to the rude red-headed biatch, apparently someone called in with a larger party and needed two tables. The rude red-headed biatch should have found a place for me to sit instead of just being a rude red-headed biatch! At the first intermission, I moved to another sports bar 151 Sobo, located at 151 S. Broadway. Superior setting for watching Avalanche games, superior food, and superior service. And no rude red-headed biatch! Now they have permanently lost me as a customer. I had been at the Campus Lounge for several other Avalanche games and spent around $30 on food/drinks. But no more. The rude red-headed biatch cost Campus Lounge a customer! And the monitors are small, the food is gross, and the service is piss poor. No more Campus Lounge, ever! Done! read more

Jeff (the manager) thought it was okay to cancel our reservation 2.5 hours before the reservation on a Saturday night. His reasoning was that they are going to be so busy since DU won on Thursday. We got the reservation early in the week. Now we have to find a place for our night out at the last minute. I guess they don't want us there and I will be happy to spread the word that they feel that it is okay to cancel on customers at the last minute. He also happened to say that I had reservations that I cancelled in the past. I ALWAYS call if I must cancel!! What a way to treat your customers!!!!! No excuse. read more

my goodness..delicious food, so much flavor! chicken + jelly amazing! music, environment and yummy food. all about it. + they have specials every day of the week! read more

Interesting kitschy atmosphere. Going for an old summer camp vibe I guess. Pretty random stuff but it works. Service was good. The poutine was really good; the pork green chili on the poutine wasn't very hot which I liked. Had the breakfast burrito and my friend had a burger. Both were good but nothing exceptional. Requested a couple of beers from their menu that were not available, which was disappointing but totally understandable these days. The server was quick to make comparable recommendations. There's a game room attached so we were able to play a free round of PacMan after our meal - love that! read more

Well Campus Lounge 4.0 is officially a letdown. This place holds a special place for me, as it was amazing when I was in grad school. Menu was promising, but it was pretty much downhill from here. The app "campus poutine" had potential but essentially was stale tasing shoestring fries with melted cheese and mediocre green Chile on top. Also ordered smoked wings for an app and this was actually very good, best part of the meal by far. Main dish was Prime Rib. Rust came out and was pretty much " well done" which is tragic for prime rib. Manager was nice enough to bring out a new one, which was still closer to medium, but at this point wanted to just move on. Ambience is the usual, college bar with a big brows and lots going on. Not much has has changed inside and that is ok. Service was pretty decent even though it was busy. Value was not there. Bill was way too high for what we received. Overall disappointed . read more

Campus Lounge has been at its current location for decades. I visited 10+ years ago, and it was a casual local bar - nothing special. During COVID I visited with a few neighbors, since we heard new owners had bought the place, and loved everything about it - good beer, great food, super friendly staff and a very cool atmosphere. I've been back multiple times since and always have a great time. I invited a large group of friends yesterday for day 2 of March Madness and Sarah took care of our group. She was wonderful, patient and super chill. There was about 15 of us and most had never been. Every one of them loved the place, food and overall atmosphere. They'll all be back. read more

The Campus Lounge has probably never been better. While it's been through a few ownership changes and concepts , the current version is amazing. A clean dive, a well-scrubbed joint, with good food, an island bar ( whaaat?) a ton of flatscreens for sports and a very friendly staff. There's an outdoor patio and ( wait for it) a Hamm's beer truck with taps on it. I could go here every day. read more

Don't get me wrong, I've been a long time patron of Campus Lounge and really like the menu. Tonight I dropped in to have a good food experience. Took a seat at the bar; only 6 other patrons; looked like most were regulars. Sat for a full 10 minutes. Bartender walked by me several times, never acknowledged me. Got up, walked out. They closed once...next closure not far behind with service line this. read more

Flat expensive drinks. Pitcher for $20 more expensive than ordering individual beers. Total rip off all around

Had a 60th Birthday Party at the Beer Garden at Campus Lounge over Labor Day weekend. The food was great. We had carne Asada and Chicken Tacos, with salsa, guacamole and rice and beans chosen from their catering menu. The servers, Sam and Zach were friendly and efficient, doing a fantastic job taking care of 50 people. Anjelica, the Event Coordinator, helped with planning and was great. The Management, Bar and Kitchen staff also did a great job, making this one of the best parties ever !! Every single person at the party commented on how fun it was. Can't recommend the Campus enough for a party or just a night out. read more

Today I had the worst customer service of my life. I got upcharged 25% from the prices set on the menu, and the blonde waitress refused to change anything about this. The avocado toast was listed at 10 dollars on the menu, and when I pointed out the price difference being charged (14 dollars), she proceed to stare at me blankly. In general this waitress gave us so much attitude over the hour we were there that we couldn't wait to leave. Will not be coming back. read more

We just had a surprise party for our son's 30th birthday at the Campus Lounge--we worked with the events manager Angelica who was wonderful. Angelica helped us plan a menu so guests had a choice of entree and suggested we give each guest a number of drink coupons which worked out really well for our 40 plus guests. The food was great and the vibe of the back room for a party was really fun. Angelica and her staff were stellar making sure everyone had a good time . I highly recommend Campus Lounge for any special event--or for a hamburger and beer any night!! read more

We have held our end-of-season hockey parties here for two years and it has been great! The service, food, and fun is great for everyone. They also allowed for a computer connection to the big screens for us to play our team videos. It is our neighborhood team favorite! read more

I visited Campus Lounge for the first time this weekend before a DU sporting event and was unexpectedly impressed! I assumed I was being taken to your average close to campus bar that would have average drinks and food. The Moscow mule was one of the best I have ever had! Their food was great as well! Our server was friendly, efficient, and checked on us often. Overall, I had a great experience and am looking forward to visiting the Campus Lounge before another DU event! read more

It's a cool spot, I just moved here. But I gotta say I came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were literally 9 employees (I counted) sitting around doing NOTHING, or just trying to look busy. I feel bad it's a pandemic but they are losing money staffing 9 ppl when there are probably 10 total people in the actual restaurant. So confusing. read more

Campus Lounge - Literally all staff just sitting there, literally doing nothing. I'm not hating, I just don't get it - Lounges Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Just terrific food and friendly waitstaff. Ordered pickup for the family and we were NOT disappointed. My 8 year old raves about this place. Can't wait to come in when the restaurants all reopen for dine in service. Thanks for the delicious meals! read more

You have got to have good chicken wings at an establishment like this one. These were honestly the driest, over smoked wings ever! Chicken wings aren't that hard. Burger was good, fries very good, cocktail was interesting. Something with elderflower. Please change the wing recipe. It's a deal breaker. read more

Finally made it out to the new campus lounge and I can say it was rad! Really liked the summer camp decor (gotta check out the dioramas) food was great I had the pork chop with cheesy asparagus also hit up the salad bar and my fiancé had the salmon sandwich both were really tasty and service was great! Got greeted right away! Everyone who was working was great and helpful! Drinks were good! Try the lavender lemon cocktail! Always great to see a place with Labatt blue on draft! Keep up the good work guys! read more

Can't believe I have waited this long to come to this place! Has the best ambiance and fun/kitschy decor and the best wings I've had in Denver, make sure to get the sweet heat rub read more

Disappointed on a Friday night happy hour; we're adults but game area was all kids! The pool table, shuffle board, hockey table nothing but kids! Otherwise happy to see them back. Whether I go back time will tell. Who is there customer? Kids or adults? We all live in the neighborhood! read more

Campus lounge is a one in a lifetime establishment. Good eats, good drinks, good people. Plain and simple. It's a fantastic establishment with a great environment. If I'm in town, I make sure to stop by and enjoy a pint with my mates. Located just off I-25, you can't go wrong. It's a must see. read more

We haven't been here in a couple of years. Before COVID, the service wasn't good, but we thought we'd try again now that things are settling down. It took over 45 minutes for our food to come, so long we had to get it to go. They comped our drinks because of it, so they get a star for that, but the wait has been ridiculously slow too consistently for us to give this place another try. read more

Holy shit. Top tier bar here. I've been round the world I dun seen a lot of places - this beats all of them. All I have to say. Get ready to roll the taps here. read more

Comfy neighborhood bar with a great draft beer selection and weekday specials. We went on Thursday night for AYCE crab. We will absolutely be going back! read more

We live in the neighborhood and have watched this place go through several iterations, but we're big fans of the current version. Our go-to dishes are the chicken sandwich- one of the best in Denver, the Mac and cheese, the pork chops and the burgers. All are great. We typically do takeout, and the food holds up well. Casual outdoor dining is nice also. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Great to see the Campus Lounge packed and everyone having a great time! Happy hour beer selection very good. Smoked wings absolutely delicious! Meatloaf Special looked great and salad bar was very fresh and fun! One of our steaks was overcooked but meal was immediately and fully comped. All staffers were very friendly. Will be back to try the great looking burger and some tots! read more

Would be great if they had phone that worked. Tried calling multiple times over past two weeks. Been in beer garden which has been great. Just frustrating when you can't call to order take out read more

Take it from A Fattie (not A Foodie), this place is great. My favorite wings bar none. The wings with Everything Bagel Seasoning are my favorite wings, but any of the wings are simply amazing. They smoke them first. The Everything Bagel Seasoning may be too salty for some, but that smokey, salty wing is just over the top delicious for me. The rest of the menu is very good as well. Great Wedge salad. Take it from a Fattie not a Foodie, these wings are the best in town. Do yourself a favor and get some for take out. read more

Let me just start by saying that I am difficult to please... but myself and some coworkers went to campus lounge recently and had an amazing experience. This place is a hidden local gem. We had excellent service, great food and drinks and a lighthearted fun environment. My group had an issue with another patron who was being inappropriate and the staff addressed our concerns immediately, listened to our complaints, and resolved the issue. read more

Stopped in the Campus Lounge on Election night early around 5P. Was not impressed!!! Menu is very limited. Burger and fries were OK. Starter salad was OK. And what really pissed me off was that a very small white wine was $12. Asked about Happy Hour wine, and the server said they only had a Pinot Grigio. Server also never mentioned Happy Hour drink specials when we were initially ordering. I might have tried the PG. But needless to say I won't be going back. read more

Campus Lounge is such a solid place. It's the perfect blend of a good steak house with quality food and a tavern style bar with awesome drinks. I would highly recommend coming here for an evening out. From the staff to the food, drinks and pool table...definitely haven't been let down a single time. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! Friendly staff, great ambience, the decor is so authentic. Cocktails are unique and tasty! Supper club type vibe, even with a salad bar. Definitely need to check this place out when in Wash Park. read more

Great to have it back. Best version of campus. Enough of the old vibe with some new twists. Food is amazing. Great daily food specials. Amazing happy hour with $2.50 German beer. Overall comfortable feel. Will be back often. read more

Great to see it open, even better to see it crowded, everyone enjoyed their meal and staff was accommodating with our group of 13! Glad this Denver icon is back and better than before. read more
