Having a meeting at the CU medical campus and found this place quite close to the campus. We arrived around 1pm and there were lots of available seats there. We ordered steak tacos, steak salads and sandwiches. Also ordered the sweet potato chips but the waitress forgot to put it on the order so missed that. Took 20min before the foods were ready. My steak tacos were good, lots of cut steaks with avocado sauce and green vibes. There were also rice on the side. Pretty large in portion. read more

This place is great! Their drink menu is full of craft beer with a few on happy hour. They also have wine for the non-beer drinkers. I ordered the Black and Blue Sirloin Steak Salad. It was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly to order. The one and minor complaint I have is the red onion. I find diced red onion to be overpowering in a salad. I personally think thinly sliced rings of red onion would be better. They get 4 stars because of the parking. There are very few parking spaces near the restaurant and the parking lots in walking distance are pay lots. I realize being on a hospital campus has its challenges, but a free lot specific to the pub would be ideal. read more

Great pretzels, great salads, great burgers, great beer list! Lots of TVs if you want to watch sports. Highly recommend this place.

Sunday brunch and there's no wait. Service was attentive. Cuban sandwich: was looking forward to a nice sandwich and sadly this was so dry, I couldn't really eat it. Nice selection of beers though and maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. read more

Cedar Creek Pub - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We work on campus and have been in here a number of times for beers, lunch, or apps. The service is fine and we have never had bad service but you can tell when the waitress is irritated that your party is just there to drink beers. I can see how this would be irritating from a waitress perspective but if we specify bar area seats and you work at a pub near a huge campus, expect people to just sit there and drink. The food is hit or miss. The burgers are good and the fries are delicious. The Cuban is terrible and one of the worst Cubans I've ever had, next menu overhaul I recommend removing that one. The draft beer selection is hit or miss too. We've been in here a few times to find the list nearly half crossed off. The beers they seem to usually have are IPAs and stouts so there isn't much selection. Nice patio area and a solid choice for lunch. Prices are about on par for Denver food prices these days. read more

I placed a to go order yesterday at Cedar Creek Pub. It was the driest and toughest corn beef I've ever eaten. Glad I was able to support this place because of COVID, but I won't be ordering the Reuben anymore. read more

Where to start? Cedar Creek Pub has a casual, neighbourhood pub feel. It's comfortable and laid back, a nice place to meet up with friends. Their beer list is varied. I had the blackberry cider from Downeast Cider House, and it was delicious. I've had Downeast cider before, and this did not disappoint. The menu is what you'd expect from a neighbourhood pub, and the execution is amazing. If you leave Cedar Creek Pub hungry, it's your fault. I would love to sample everything on the menu. It's a little out of the way for me, but I would make the effort to visit again for sure. read more

A convenient lunch place that has a pretty comprehensive menu. Never had to wait for a table and the service is ok. Food is good for a pub, I'm a huge fan of a Cubano and this one is good! Not the best I've had but it's decent! Fries are always fresh when I've been and the burgers are good too. They do have a good drinks menu with quite a few options. Middle of the road place, check them out for yourself. read more

Had no idea this was here and almost want to keep it to myself. Food is good, staff super welcoming and friendly. Laid back, but I can tell it's a hit with regulars. read more

Not too impressed with this place. I came here with some girlfriends after a class at the Anshultz Wellness Center and it's mediocre at best. Unimaginative menu and when I was looking for a salad, I wasn't too wowed with what they offer (and especially for the price they charge--woof!) I got the Buffalo Chicken Salad along with some tweaks (no tortilla strips or tomatoes) and they left off the cheese so it was an unappetizing buffalo chicken strips, lettuce and dressing. Our server wasn't too friendly so I didn't want to inconvenience her about the order she got wrong. I'm still pissed off about spending $12 on that salad, I would pass on this place. read more

Cedar Creek Pub - One of the worst salads I've had in my life-Cedar Creek Pub's buffalo chicken salad - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

PROS: 1. tasty burgers 2. trivia nights 3. lots of windows 4. modern/clean inside 5. outdoor eating area 6. on-campus location CONS: I'll be honest, the service I received (or lack of service I received) here on two different occasions is enough for me to warrant this "meh I've experienced better" 2 stars. I appreciate the convenience of having a restaurant/pub to visit near campus and I can understand why this place can get pretty crowded sometimes (trivia nights, lack of competing restaurants and pubs in the area, non-shady patrons, variety of drinks and eats) but their happy hour is hardly a good deal and their lack of attentiveness to customers during busy times is inexcusable. It was really hard for me to flag down a waiter/waitress when I came here and I even walked around looking for a hostess or someone to let me know if there were seats available. I'm not at all an inpatient person but I think it took me a considerable amount of time before I could talk to a worker about getting seated. I can understand that a restaurant gets busy but I've been to plenty of busy restaurants before and I've never been blatantly ignored before while waiting to get serviced. I even made eye contact with several waitresses who, I'm pretty sure, saw me and then looked away (rather than give me some indication that they'd be with me in a minute). This is my 2nd time writing this review. The first time I wrote it I had someone message me telling me "cmon give the place a break they were busy." Do you really think that a restaurant being busy gives them a pass for not having attentive service? Restaurants get busy. That's not abnormal. read more

This was our first visit and it was very enjoyable. The food and brews were excellent. Service was top notch and we were very happy to have found it. The fish and chips were interesting in that the fish resembled egg rolls the way they were prepared. Yet they were perfectly fried and tasty. The Cubano would have been better with some plantains on the side but I'm nitpicking. read more

Be careful. Service is slow and if you don't kowtow to staff the owner will ask you to leave.

Our server Stephanie was incredibly rude to us. We had a party of 8 but only 6 of us got something to drink. (1 drink each) No food, and she still charged us the "large party" gratuity. Horrible service and I would not have tipped her the 20%. I used to work in the service industry so definitely understand the struggle but no need to be rude to us right off the bat. :) read more

A+++ rating for service. We had a ton of time to kill after a course in Aurora before our flight so we stopped over to this little restaurant to watch March Madness, grab dinner, and grab a few drinks. Time flew by and there was a solid drink selection with a good happy hour. Our group was very pleasantly surprised with the drink menu. The restaurant was right across from Ursula brewery (also a great dog friendly place) I had the wings which were very crispy and flavors were good. The burger was solid but nothing to write home about. The house salad as a side was plentiful and the dressing selection was better than your run of the mill pub. What made this place special was the incredible service we got from Jake. He was super friendly and probably gave us the best service we had all weekend in Colorado. read more

-One star because of its location since it's close to my campus and apartment. -One star because they have decent beer selections. The service is a bit slow even when it isn't busy. It's a hit or miss really. The food here, honestly, is bar food. Nothing special. I hate how it sounds good on the menu but is actually 'meh' when it comes out. Some of the apps are alright though, don't get me wrong. Your fries, pretzels, even fish tacos are good to munch and share with friends, especially after killing or being killed by exams haha. read more

Stellar meal!! My SO and I ordered the gyros for take out. They were ready right on time. Everything was hot and fresh. The gyros sandwiches were HUGE and so delicious! Definitely coming back, we want to try more things on the menu. PS great service! read more

Would give no stars if it was an option. We used to come to this pub after work all the time and the service was always great. I don't know what's happened since the pandemic but this place has declined all around. The food quality has gotten worse and I have had several friends get sick from the undercooked wings. The service was not great. We had friends that were coming to meet us after work and when we asked to move tables they said we weren't allowed. They said we needed a reservation. Even when the place had cleared out and there were multiple larger tables available. It was bizarre and disappointing. I guess they don't need the business. read more

A place where many anschutz students and prof's hangout! Local and convenient. Server is extremely kind and fast. Good food, but don't expect mind-blowing creations...I got some fish and chips and pretzels. definitely recommend for quick bite to eat! read more

3.5 stars. They have a decent selection of beers here most notable a few coda beers, a few southern california brews (ballast point, bruery), coors, and a few others. As for the food, I got to try: Bourbon Pub steak: Not a bad entree. At $14, this is a nice little dinner to satisfy the stomach. The mash potatoes were good and the brocolli added some greens to the plate. Ask for more of their bourbon sauce to compliment your steak. (I ordered medium rare and it was cooked medium). Elk Burger: While the sweet potato fries that came with the burger were perfect, the elk burger itself was just okay. The patty was quite thin and didn't have a lot of juice to it. Just an okay burger. (I ordered medium rare and it was pretty cooked). While visiting the restaurant itself isn't out of the question, I'd actually prefer to chill at Coda Brewing and do a phone-order from there. That way you get to enjoy the entire selection of Coda while munching on a few bites. Otherwise, if a game is on, Cedar creek isn't a bad place to spend your evening. read more

My aunt & uncle took me here after a Rockies game and we were immediately greeted by our server who remembered their names and usual drink orders--great first impression. We just had some light snacks including the ranch fries, pretzels, and my aunt with a salad and added shrimp. I only tried the pretzels and fries but both were fresh, hot & delicious. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming. I would definitely come back for a full meal! read more

I'm giving this 4 stars because the atmosphere was lacking when my boyfriend and I were there (Saturday during the NCAA Final Four games). Counting the two of us there were only 6 people maximum at any point in the restaurant/bar. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, and we ordered the pierogi appetizer which was fantastic! We just moved here from Fort Lauderdale and were very happily surprised at their Maker's 46 price ($8)! The Happy Hour beer selection was lacking, but it was still nice to be offered Happy Hour on a Saturday. The restaurant itself is gorgeous! We asked the bartenders when they get busy on the weekends and they told us they are mostly a week day place, as Anschutz it literally next door. The bonus to the place not being crowded is that we got to pretty much control the TVs and were able to watch Florida play and the Braves game at the same time with no competition! Overall we will definitely come back as Aurora lacks bars that are beautiful and aren't reminiscent of disease ridden hole-in-the-wall establishments! read more

Cedar Creek Pub - View from the bar! - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Dined here before heading to the airport with the Restaurant.com certificate that they stacked ON TOP of happy hour savings. Facilities were cleaned and very well maintained. Parking was easy; we were able to park right out front. I appreciated all the windows and natural sunlight. We came in during a shift change and both a waitperson's were great. The pretzel sticks were great as were the nachos (though they may not look like what you'd expect); portions are big so I ended up taking leftovers on the flight that the attendants said smelled "divine". Great experience; I'd definitely dine here again when in Denver. read more

In town for daughter at the hospital. Almost daily go to when anxiously waiting on results. Cheers to this place.

This is my 3rd time here for a work party. The first time we came it was very nice, that why we decided to come back. Well, today was a completely different story! The owner would not sit a party of 8 till the whole party was here. She wouldn't give us napkins, she said "your server will take care of you" and walked away! I will NEVER EVER come back here.. I will also make sure to tell as many people as I can to not come to this establishment unless they want to be treated like dirt!! read more

This place is conveniently located right below my apartment so it's where I go when I am way too lazy to cook and way too lazy to drive somewhere to get food or it's a school function located here. So that means I don't really come too often and this definitely wouldn't be my top choice of restaurant if I am hungry. It basically has monopoly over the whole area and I think people eat here largely for convenience sake. The food is mediocre and there aren't a huge variety of choices. They are definitely lacking in the vegetarian department (speaking on behalf of my veggie friends). Everything is also slightly over priced but they do give large portions to make up for it. There is ample seating throughout the pub and it's generally kept well cleaned. The owner helps out with donations for various school clubs if you ask well ahead of time so students really appreciate that. They have a nice beer selection as well but I've had more food there than beer. The quesidillas are pretty good. Even though they are under the appetizer section, the portion is enough for a meal. The san juan burger is massive and it comes with fries and usually lasts me two meals. The gemini is pretty good as well. I have also tried the BLT sandwich which comes with whole wheat bread and very crispy bacon and a ton of fries. I was so stuffed, i didn't even finish the fries. As you can see, it's your basic bar foods but the menu is pretty small in comparison to other bars. I hope they expand the menu and make the prices cheaper. It's not ok to be so expensive just because of lack of competition. Or I hope more restaurants open up within walking distance of fitz. read more

Cedar Creek Pub - Blt sandwich with fries - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This was my first time here, and I work at the anschutz campus so this bar is supposed to be a go-to spot.... The food- yes great! The server- WOW, so bad that we almost just left. Her attitude (I think her name was amber based on the receipt) was horrible. Literally threw our IDs and the check at us, seemed extremely annoyed when we ordered or asked for another round of drinks like it was the most inconvenient thing she's ever been asked... blunt and rude... why even be here if you are so extremely angry and hate your job THAT much? As a server myself, this is insulting and reflects poorly on the business! Did I mention that we were the ONLY TABLE in the restaurant?! It was a Saturday at 2 pm.... read more

it's across from the Ursula brewing and offers several craft beer with food!!! my visit wasn't too exciting. seated at the corner where no one can see and... ended up having to get out of my seat to flag down the server. was that the only available one? nope. it was end of lunch rush so plenty of seating ... failed it. beer selection was good and menu, not bad. plenty of grill menu to satifisfy your hunger but definitely lacks anything memorable. been their, done that, no repeats read more

This is a nice pub for the community. They have good bar food and a nice selection of Colorado beer. The service is always quick and the staff is usually friendly. Although I enjoy this place I have 2 complaints. 1) sometimes I feel like the I'm bothering the staff when I ask for something and 2) the food is a little too salty. read more

Cedar Creek Pub - Pretzels - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is a busy spot for lunch and happy hour but if you don't go during the traditional rush hours you'll usually get seated in a reasonable time period. Every time I go I am never sure what kind of service I will get. Sometimes the server is on top of their game; attentive and conversational. Other times we get seated and fall into a black hole where we order everything at once because we may never see them again (and usually are proven correct). I've never had completely horrible service though, just the kind of neglect that happens if someone is slammed. I have a hard time justifying the price of the food. It's not a bad selection but I'm always thinking "If this were just 2 dollars cheaper I would leave happier." I've tried a couple of different meals now and it's always the same thought. The shining light of the establishment is that the owners also run Ursula. That means they care a lot about beer. The bar tap selection is always good and usually changes seasonally. My recommendation: Go with a friend, sit at the bar, order a beer, and share an appetizer. read more

Good food and friendly service. Have never been disappointed with the burgers and variety on the menu

Every time I come here, service is prompt and the food is delicious! Great job Cedar Creek staff!!! We appreciate you!!!

Let's start with, it's easy to find. You think it isn't going to be. You're driving down the street. There are apartment buildings. Google tells you to turn into them. You're skeptical, but being a 21st century human being, you do what Google tells you to do. And there it is, plain as day. It's on the first floor of one of the apartment buildings. It looks like a nice little community. It's street parking, but street parking was ample. I got there at 7 pm and the place was on the full side of semi full, but I still got a spot right in front of the restaurant. Still this evening's date was already there when I got there. I went in and was greeted by a hostess, who immediately noticed my phone in hand and the confused look on my face. She asked if I was meeting someone. I said I was. She suggested that I check the bar and if he wasn't there then I should come back and she would seat me and send him over when he showed up. But I knew he was already there. I thanked the hostess and went into the bar area. The whole place was very nice. Good decor. Nice atmosphere. Clean. I found my date at the bar. He had already ordered the Pan Seared Pierogi. We took those and his drink over to a booth. Not a regular booth. It was open on both sides. I liked it. The coziness of a booth with the view of a table. My date suggested I try a pierogi. Now, I don't like pierogis. But I was raised to be polite. I ate one. Not bad. And I figure a not bad from someone who doesn't even like pierogis translates into pretty damn good to someone who does like them. The waiter was right over to take my drink order. He hurried back with my drink and asked if we wanted to order. My date wasn't ready and sent him away. I was ready. I like to check menus online beforehand, because I am a very picky eater and I don't want to look like a very picky eater. That's just unattractive. But luckily for me, Cedar Creek Pub has it's full menu online. I pretended to decide on the Elk Burger, which I had decided on hours before. And when the waiter returned, I ordered said burger. My date ordered the same, but without cheese. It turns out, I don't like Elk Burgers. Who knew? This was no fault of the burger or the establishment. I was served a beautiful looking burger. I just didn't like it. I had never tried elk before. And I probably never will again. But now I know. The fries were good. Nothing special, but good, solid fries. It was good date, so I did that annoying thing I do where I sit in a server's section for a really long time, just chatting away. Didn't faze the server. He brought new drinks as needed but mostly just kept out of the way. After taking up space for a while, we decided to continue our date elsewhere. All and all, it was a good dining experience, except for the part where I didn't like the food. But again, totally not Cedar Creek Pub's fault. I was trying something new and that's always the risk you run. I'm happy that I get to say that I tried it. read more

Cedar Creek Pub - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Impressive rotation of draft beers, a very good selection of bottled and canned, as well as a respectable food menu with daily specials. I've been here several times this year since finding this pub while exploring the neighborhood, and each time has been a good experience. I've tried the fish and chips, pub pretzels, wings hot, and elk burger; all well prepared and exactly what I expect of a quality kitchen. Nothing was greasy, or under/over cooked. I've also taken my wife and friends here in a group of five, and we had no trouble getting service or drinks. In particular I went here on St. Patricks day, and found that for a pub they had a comfortable sized crowd, as well as a real rarity on tap; Deschutes the Abyss. The very fact that the owner was willing to put it on tap for the holiday makes it a really special place in my book. This is a great pub, with really well prepared food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. Don't expect to pay dive bar prices, because quality food and quality drinks are not cheap, but also you can expect to avoid the drunken Friday night crowds while still having a great selection for dinner and drinks. read more

Cedar Creek Pub - Twisted Pine Braggot. One of many rotating drafts on tap. - American Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Drive by this place all the time so finally decided to pop in. It appears to have somewhat of an identity crisis. Very little on the walls, and what is up is random and no common theme. Just had a few drinks, which were decent, and an appetizer, nothing to write home about. I think it has a great location across from the hospital, but I don't think I'd become a regular here. read more

We were looking for someplace close to the hotel to eat. We found this gem! Amber was very helpful and answered all our questions. I had the Elk burger and it was out of this world. My wife her turkey burger very good too. Has a small by nice patio. This is right near the VA and Children Hospital and might get busy at lunchtime. It would be worth the wait. It was not very busy at dinner time when we were there. I will be back. read more

I've been coming to this place for the last 2 years since I've moved here. I had a PDF copy of my passport, as I don't carry my wallet to work. I don't have the Colorado app, because my ID is not registered thru CO. I had a pdf copy of my passport, and the owner had a nasty attitude regarding how that wasn't "official enough", even going as to far as to say, I wouldn't be able to fly with the pdf copy. I actually have flown with that copy when I lost my wallet on a trip so that's wrong. The owner also said this wouldn't fly at my establishment, in which I work at a hospital and the focus is not about having physical IDs, when we're caring for sick and dying patients but a picture ID would absolutely suffice. I also had a US government issued work badge that matched my passport on hand. Be respectful to your patrons. The answer is no, but the rude and nasty manner in which it was expressed was off-putting. I don't have to and WILL NEVER come back to your establishment. read more

Stopped by Cedar Creek Pub on our tour of Colorado breweries. The place has a laid back vibe and the restaurant is clean. Offer a selection of craft beers as well as bourbon. Some of the menu offerings include Buffalo Mac n' Cheese, Elk Pot Roast, Grass fed burgers, some innovative appetizers, and a nice selection of salads. The Spud Balls were delicious! Round Tater Tots with bacon, cheese, & sour cream. The elk pot was really good, the sides weren't too bad. Maybe fix up the mashed potatoes somewhat. Pretty good experience. read more

Really good! We had a variety of entrees between us all were great. The Cucumber Mule signature cocktail was delicious.
