Like others have said, this is a decent enough pub. I didn't eat but I did have a few drinks here. We hit up the late happy hour, which started at 10. Since we arrived a little early (8 minutes early, according to our waitress), we waited until the clock struck 10 to order. The service, as I hinted above, was a little strange. Our waitress oscillated between surly and flirtatious (with my bf). We got a kick out of her as she snapped at us that the kitchen was closing after we'd already told her we weren't eating. All in all, not a bad place to grab a drink if you're in the Tech Center. Good selection of beers and unintentionally amusing wait staff. read more

Darcy's is one of those rare restaurants that you can find in a strip mall, but once you walk in the door, you forgot you're in a strip mall. With inviting Irish pub decor that is realistic and not over-the-top, it's a great relaxing place for a casual dinner or drinks with friends. In the summertime they raise their roll-up window between the bar and patio, making for a great place to enjoy the warm weather with a cold beer. Darcy's has great happy hour specials (both early & late) and daily specials, but you'll see me there mostly on Saturday nights. That's when Geeks Who Drink arrive with their trivia contest, and it's a blast! If you time it right you can enjoy some happy hour drinks before trivia begins, and get some late-night happy hour snacks when it wraps up! Good times! read more

I stopped by here on my way back from a print workshop in South Dakota and I was not disappointed. The bartender Danny (I believe) recognized me from my visit last Fall and was very attentive to my drinking and dining needs. I had an order of fried pickles, the 10oz prime rib, and some cheesecake for desert. Awesomesauce! The Avery IPA's were darn good, too. I was very happy with this visit. Darcy's has yet to disappoint me. I will be coming back in late August as I have some business in Denver at that time. Darcy's better be ready for me. ;) read more

This is my go-to eatery for lunch, dinner, happy hour and late night!!! The food is great, the atmosphere is fun and inviting and the service is excellent. I have never had a bad experience at Darcy's. Once on St Patty's day I even bumped into my high school Social Studies teacher, if that doesn't make you love a place I don't know what will. If you are in the mood to sample the menu I would recommend the Adult Mac and Cheese, Steak Boxty or really anything on the menu. They offer a late night Tapas menu and drink specials, my kind of place!!! Plus the outdoor space is great for people watching. read more

I used to go to Darcy's a few years ago, but stopped because they allowed dogs inside. I love dogs, but not when they try to eat my food right off the table. I went back a couple of weeks ago for brunch. Some things have improved, some things are the same. The food seems better--a bit more interesting. The last time I was there, we were served chicken fingers that you might find in a middle school cafeteria. The service is still the same, if not worse. We waited an entire hour to have our food order taken. The server handed our drinks and plates to us - she didn't place them on the table--very strange. She was not friendly or the slightest bit attentive. My friends said she's like that all the time. Given the choices in the area, I wouldn't go back to Darcy's. read more

Nothing special. Ok happy hour specials, but you can find just about everything on the menu elsewhere, for a better price and better quality. Service was mediocre. We ordered the fried pickles (bland, small handful) and the shrimp street tacos (two tacos with none-fresh shrimp and lots of watery sweet chili sauce). We also had the Reuben (good, but no different from competitors) and the fish and chips (bland). DO NOT order the cheesecake, it was more like cream cheese cake. -look at the picture! read more

Darcy's Bistro & Pub - Cheesecake- like eating a spoonful of cream cheese. - Irish Pub Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Solid but nothing spectacular. Good staff, good late night alternative. In the DTC it's walking distance to several hotels.

Haven't been here in awhile. It's really gone downhill. It used to be a fun place filled with decent people, now it has become a hangout for itinerant drunks. I've haven't heard so much foul language at a bar in a long, long time. Management seems to be MIA. Maybe I'll visit next St. Patrick's Day, but I kind of doubt it. This place has turned into a dive. And not in the good sense. Note to the male bartender on duty the night I was there: Dropping the F bomb 10 times in a 60 second conversation (I counted) is bush league and makes me think you don't care about the way you present yourself to your customers. If that's the case, then you must not care if I don't tip you. The lack of professionalism was shocking. read more

Right across the street from my new home is an Irish-themed pub. Took me long enough. It's a bar. It's a DTC bar, but still a bar. Looks like a good spot for happy hour and gatherings and such, but I came for dinner. I sat at the bar and started with a pint. There was a new beer that I wanted to try, but alas, they were out. The selection of draughts is pretty good, so I overcame. Looking at the menu I saw quite a few choices, so I asked the bartender for her favorite, and she suggested the roasted corned beef and cabbage. Not bad at all. It was served with fesh green beens, carrots, red potatoes, and horseradish sauce. The beans were the best. The horseradish was extremely mild, and if you've read my reviews, you know that to be a let-down for me. The corned beef was tasty, though, and the sauce made a nice compliment to it. I looked at the dessert menu but didn't really see anything that appealed to me. The downside would be the prices. A little too expensive for bar food, I felt. I guess it's the location, but I can get the same food at other pubs for a few bucks less. Still, I think it's a good place, I'm interested in going back with friends for some appetizers and booze, as well as weekend breakfast. I am interested in trying the adult mac and cheese and the Irish nachos. And they have 5 different kinds of Irish whisky to sample. Since I live across the street, I'm sure I will try them all one night. I'll be back. read more

Cute interior, smoke free patio, relatively cheap eats, and yummy eats, so so on the staff, parking could get tough on a weekend. Finally make it to this establishment for a team bonding experience. We got there right after happy hour ended - of course! Draft prices are on par. And they have Paulaner, Shock Top and Blue Moon on tap - wooot! We started with the Brie and Irish Nachos. Brie was pretty good, but the nachos - seriously how can you go wrong with corned beef and cheese on chips! Sweet! The last appetizer we partook of was a steak pizza, bruchetta thingy. It was ok - but probably not worth the 11 buck aroos. The waitress we got was not the friendliest gal on the block. We arrived in waves, all wanted drinks, and some food. She disappeared after the drinks and we had to order through the hostess to get our food. They are also quick with clearing the plates - there was still one peice on the steak pizza thing in the middle of the table - everyone playing coy with not wanting to eat the last peice, and pretty much it came down to - who managed to keep their fork! It was definitely a loud place, so keep that in mind if you want to get all cozy with your honey. Although there is a cool room that can be closed in the back, that could probably be used for that as well. Or a small party too. I would definitely return if i was in the area - or to meet up with girl friends as a location we could all meet at. Or maybe for lunch! There are some things on the menu i want to get a chance to try! read more

We went to Darcy's looking for a good happy hour and were not disappointed. Well, I guess the overall lack of any crowd could have been considered a disappointment to some, but for us it worked out perfectly. Happy hour pricing was as expected, very similar to other restaurants in the area. Food was average bar food, not spectacular, not horrible. Service was a bit slow, especially considering the lack of any real crowd. I really love their section of the bar that is outside so you can belly up to the bar and still enjoy a gorgeous summer day. read more

They do have some good food + drink specials from time to time but otherwise don't bother with the food it's pretty generic. I can't remember anything I've eaten here honestly, granted there's only a few veggie options to begin with, mostly fried. The only food I remember is the fish and chips my husband ordered because it smelled really off and didn't taste right to him. He had a cubano sandwich another time that was good though. The main reason for the two star review is the service. Everyone seems friendly enough but if you're only stopping in for a few happy hour drinks good luck getting the check. On several occasions I had to chase the server down once they realized we were only staying for a few drinks because they just didn't come back to our table. Once I can forgive but this has happened every time we've gone in and it's never busy enough to excuse avoiding our table. read more

Went here during happy hour. We had the cheddar soup, the Cobb salad, and some wings. The Cobb and the soup were not very good, but not horrible either. The wings were more of a hit with the group. The bartenders were very nice. This place is simply forgettable. read more

Stopped in for family happy hour recently and had a good experience. Sat on the patio and 20 minutes after we arrived, there wasn't a seat left in the place! Waitstaff was very attentive and on top of things. We started with the chips and salsa and while the salsa had a decent kick to it, it tasted eerily like marinara sauce to my palate. Not a good surprise when expecting salsa flavor! Everyone enjoyed their meals, 2 had the happy hour andouille sausage and said it was very good with a kick. Burger was decent but nothing to write home about. Beer selection is very good and as an added bonus, the Guinness girls were there giving away free pints of Guinness with a take home glass! They were celebrating their 10 year anniversary with specials all week so it was very busy. Parking in the area SUCKS unless you own a Vespa or a Smartcar... Overall decent place and good service so I'm sure we'll rotate it into our happy hour locations again. read more

The first thing that attracted me to Darcy's was simply the fact that I was new to Denver and that this was a pub on Ulster street. I thought Ulster had something to do with the six counties of Northern Ireland, but none of the locals know where that is. :( The best thing about Darcy's was Cam, the soft-spoken Kiwi bartender who greeted me upon entry From there, it was downhill. The food was meh (seared pork loin ok, but I did not expect blackened/burnt). There a decent beer selection, and I discovered a great Mirror Pond pale ale, before I went to Guinness to choke down the burnt, salty pork. The look was over-lit and subdued, even the muted triskelia, heavy on ochre hues. No inviting snugs or nooks, although you are teased by Jameson kegs and a fireplace. I was happy upon first entering to see UEFA soccer playing on TV, but it was just on one TV, and that one was the worst in the house (a practically unwatchable 17-year old flat screen, picked up for $10 at a Goodwill, no doubt). Monday Night Football was playing to an uncaring crowd on the other three TV's. The view features a garage door opening onto a butt-strewn patio overlooking an austere parking lot . The clientele varied from the OK, to real a-holes - just not the easily approachable pub-types of mates. I'll leave this place to the MNF crowd, and seek my craic elsewhere. That pork loin is not sitting well at all. read more

I'd like Darcy's a lot more if it weren't for a couple of things. And those couple of things are mostly the waiting staff. I've been to Darcy's three times now - once on a busy Saturday night, once on a somewhat busy Friday afternoon, and once on a completely empty Tuesday night. Every single one of those nights, we had an inattentive, MIA waitress - and all three of them were different women. We actually watched a waitress sit down and chat with friends while we waited ten minutes for our drinks. Going up to the bar didn't help much - the bartender was just as oblivious as the waitress. The food is quite good (though maybe not worth the price), and the drinks are standard bar fare (DEFINITELY not worth the price). It's fine if you're nearby, but is certainly not the place if you're in a hurry. Oh, and for a so-called "Irish" pub, they were displaying the Irish flag backwards. This really just highlights their complete inattentiveness. read more

Beautiful restaurant, you'll forget your in a strip mall! Very warm staff and very attractive servers and bartenders :) Amazing happy hour food, 2 chz burgers and fries 3$!!! Wow. Brooke and Heather are the best servers. Wed-karaoke sat-trivia. I love everything I've ever had here (Mac n cheese) this is a must try!!! read more

This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant in the DTC area. Both their food and service is amazing. The steak salad, curry, and prime rib meals are on the top of my list. The atmosphere of the restaurant is laid-back and is the perfect spot for a calm evening dinner. read more

TL;DR: The server Drew took my ID because I ordered a Moscow Mule. The cup that the drink was served in is made of copper. They held my ID until the cup was returned. I finished my meal with my party of 12 people, stayed after 20 mins as the server was cleaning. The cup was returned, I didn't get my ID back. x2 this because my friend also had his ID taken and not returned. Long story: My party of 12 folks arrived shy of 9 PM on a Thurs. evening. The place had folks but not super busy or crowded. I was told 2 ladies who were there before us had to be moved tables because our party was large. I was told later that they were moved twice! So unprofessional. Our dinner went well. We got great service from Drew. He was helpful and delightful. His service was not the problem. It was the bartender who had this awful policy where they wanted to keep the IDs of the people who ordered a Moscow Mule. The cups used were copper in material, which is pretty valuable. At this point, I didn't care because I wasn't going to retract my order since a Moscow Mule sounded great at the end of a long work day. Our party ate and paid our bill. At which point, half of our party left to go back to our hotel. We left approximately 10-15 mins after the first half left. At no point did the cups leave our table and Drew was busing our table throughout the end of our meal. My friend realized that his ID was missing at 1 AM when he couldn't get back into his hotel room. The front desk asked for ID, which he didn't have. I realized the morning after that I didn't have idea because I couldn't pick up my work badge for the entire weekend. Not a great start to my trip. I called in the morning once they opened. Drew answered the phone and said he nor anyone who would be available could not deliver our two IDs taken the night before. I was staying at the Marriot Tech Center which is less than a 5 mins walk away. I definitely would not recommend ordering the Moscow Mule and do not give them your ID! Drew is a good server so I definitely would praise his service! read more

Visiting from out of town and had a free night to explore the area. Decided to stop in and try out Darcy's Bistro & Pub and was not disappointed. The food was amazing and service was great and the server was very attentive. Would definitely recommend ordering the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, it was delicious! I also ordered I believe the roasted vegetable entree and added salmon to it and was amazing. Will definitely go back if in Colorado area in the future. read more

Darcy's Bistro & Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I wavered between 3 and 4 stars, and honestly the drink specials ($2 almost everything on a Saturday night!?) as well as the corned beef sliders with coleslaw and bleu cheese were 4 if not 5 stars. The overall experience however was fine but not overly amazing. The service was a bit slow, and the clientele ranged from tolerable suburbanites to downright douchebags. I was also extremely put off but something that I saw go down. There was a couple at the bar who had clearly both been over-served, stumbling around, yelling, etc. The woman in fact could not even stand on her own. They left and walked down to the parking lot and the woman had left her purse behind. The manager went running down there and returned her purse. The part that bothers me is that he then allowed them to get into a Hummer and drive off. This man could barely stand or speak coherently yet here he was piloting a behemoth of a vehicle. Now I know it is not technically the business's responsibility to monitor this sort of thing, yet I feel like at a bar where most people drive to get there, the management should take some initiative on preventing people from driving home totally intoxicated. Instead he said nothing and gave them a wave. read more

Had a great late lunch on Sunday at Darcy's. The Prime rib was amazing. Highly recommend trying it out for yourself.

Good Irish food, decent Irish'y beer. The atmosphere is better than you'd think from the outside. The best part though is their weekend brunch. Not advertised, they serve mimosa's, bloody mary's, coffee and about 5 breakfast items, from 10am-4pm. You read that right, if you wake up late but really want breakfast to recover, Darcy's will feed you that breakfast food till 4pm on the weekends. I have to recommend the "Irish Breakfast" too. It comes with Bangers, Rashers, blood and white pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs, and a thick slice of Irish brown bread. Their Irish Bangers, which later in the day may be a little stale from being under a heat lamp for too long, are crazy good on a Saturday morning. They also have a nice porch and garage doors to let in that fresh breeze on nice days. During the snowy winters, they have big fireplaces to sit by. read more

Used to live and work nearby and used to go here all the time for lunch. Now I'm back in the area(ish) and decided to try it for brunch with my Irish husband. We were more than delighted at the service, great brunch drink specials and delicious authentic Irish food. It was his first time here and my husband said the corned beef hash was better than his grandma's. We're definitively coming back on the regular! read more

Darcy's Bistro & Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I like this little joint. It is close to home, never too packed, always room at the bar, and the staff is very friendly. I have only been here for drinks, but it was a success both times. Nothing like an extra dirty martini. I saw their fish and chips and will have to try them next time I am in, they looked mighty tasty. Until then, thank for the booze Darcy's. read more

Inside gets stuffy pretty quick unless you sit at the bar. We sat outside and other than the smoking section blowing over once in awhile, I'd say outside happy hour is the time and place to be. Our waiter Justin was awesome. He was a smartass, comical, and welcoming. This made our experience even better. Happy hour pricing is great for food and drinks as well. I like this spot a lot. Give a go and leave with a smile. read more

Darcy's is a bit of a conundrum: one side is a bright, comfy restaurant while the other side is a warm Irish bar, decked out with the typical wooden theme. Although it seems like two different concepts got smashed together, it works somehow. My friend Pam and I decided to sit at a high-top table in the bar area and were promptly served up the awesome happy hour menu. We ordered some delicious brews (Kilkenny! woohoo!) and some tasty French Fry-creations: cheesy fries and curry fries. Both were great apps, although they both would've been much better had we been served silverware. Trying to eat fries drowning in curry was a bit difficult! I was only in the app sort-of mood, so I didn't look too extensively at the regular menu. I'll save that for another night out. Overall, not a bad little spot in the DTC! I'd much rather frequently this little spot than Baker's Street, located almost directly across the street from Darcy's. The crowd here seemed a little more laid back, which I dug. Good food, good drinks, a bit loud but nothing extreme, and slightly spotty service. I'm willing to come back, check out the regular menu and sit on the patio on a warm night. read more

I'm not really sure what to say about Darcy's. I don't have anything bad to say, my experience there was very average: okay service + okay food + okay prices = okay time for me. I wasn't disappointed in any way but I don't have the urge to get on here and write a long raving review either. They have a lot of different specials on different nights of the week (I was there at Saturday lunch) so I'm planning to go back and see what they're all about because they looked pretty legit. This place is A-OK by me. read more

In search of some trivia on a Saturday night, four of us headed to Darcy's around 7:30. The crowd is definitely older, but as it got later there were more 20/30 somethings there. We ordered a few beers to get started. I ordered a stella which only comes in a larger glass (20oz), presumably so they could charge more. Because every night isn't complete without a party foul, I proceeded to knock over my huge, full beer. I asked for a smaller glass as a replacement, but was informed that I could only get the 20oz. What's more, I was charged for both beers, even though our waitress knew I spilled it shortly after getting it and that the second one was a replacement. After we requested, she did get permission from her manager to remove one of the beers, but still, who does that? We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table: artichoke dip, queso dip and wings. The artichoke dip was served luke warm and we all agreed that Applebees/Chilis has better artichoke dip. The Queso was cold and we had to send it back to get it heated up. The wings weren't good at all either- not sure how you can be a pub without decent wings. What kept us there was the trivia night, which lasted 2 hours and was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, even when I checked with the waitress who seated us to make sure that we had a good seat for trivia (we arrived an hour before just to get a good spot) she assured us it was a "great" spot which we later discovered we were behind the speakers and had a difficult time hearing the questions. We all decided we would not be going back and would find somewhere else for trivia in the future. read more

Traveling for work, my coworker and I popped in here for a quick bite to eat (no happy hour for us, sadly). It's got a nice outdoor patio, but that was completely full. We were longing to sit outside, though, so we settled for the outside bar seating. The place was busy with a lunch crowd, but not totally packed. I ordered the spinach goat cheese salad. It was really good - great lunch option. I did order the dressing on the side (gotta save calories where I can), so I know exactly what it was missing Regardless, the salad would be better with either more goat cheese or more candied pecans. My coworker got the burger and fries, which was huge and delicious. Our waiter was practically non-existent the whole time. We watched other tables come and go while we were still waiting to order, get a refill, get the check, etc. It's not that he was busy serving too many tables...he just literally was nowhere to be found! Not sure what was going on there. I'm pretty picky about service - I'm not an unusually demanding guest, but the service is the primary reason I eat out. The saving grace of the lunch, though, was that the manager realized we had been there for a ridiculously long time and started taking care of us. He took a little off our check and was very apologetic. That's exactly what he should have done in our situation, so I applaud him for that! This place has potential. I enjoyed the seating area and the meal, so I'd risk a long lunch to visit again. read more

Any place that serves Guinness on tap is all right by me. Add to that the fact that they've got a decent patio, it's walking distance from the office, and they've got good food for lunch, and you can see why I like Darcy's. I've ordered the chicken bacon ranch club, the French dip, and the burger. The burger is pretty good, and the French dip and the chicken bacon ranch club are really good! The fries are pretty tasty as well. Service could use some improvement, especially on the patio. I've been there a few times trying to catch the server's eye to get our bill, or some utensils, or a drink refill, or a check. It usually results in me just going up to the nearest server and asking for it myself. At least the servers aren't surly. They're pretty friendly, just a bit too spacy some times. Overall, it's worth going. Is it somewhere I have to take out-of-town visitors? No. Is it somewhere I'm likely to visit if I wasn't already in the area? No. But it's a good place for when I'm already in that neck of the woods. read more

A year ago I would have said 4-stars, maybe it's me but it seems Darcy's lost a bit of its magic. Sure it was never some "straight out of Ireland" pub, but it had a good menu , good atmosphere and hard cider on draft. We've been a few times in the last couple of months and have had iffy service, a few bad dishes and it seems really quiet. I still like it for some Geeks Who Drink fun, but I can't say I'd recommend it to someone right now. That said, if you're craving some hearty food or want to grab a pint with friends before heading elsewhere in S.E. Denver, give it a try and judge for yourself. read more

Great spot if you're looking for a place to eat in the DTC area. I recommend any of the burger/sandwiches on the menu. The mussels are fantastic too. Great selection of beers on tap. Packed during the week, usually pretty dead on the weekends. Outdoor seating is available. Cons: Salmon and artichoke dip are not good - WAY too salty. read more

In town for one night and decided to eat here. Food was great, I had the shepherds pie (something I've never tried before) and it was delicious! My friend had a key lime martini that tasted like dessert in a cup. It wasn't too busy (we went on a Friday night) but the live music was great and kept the place poppin! I'd definitely go back! read more

Love this place! It's a little loud but the patio is fantastic. The artichoke an sundried tomato dip is really good and I love the fact they bring your wine in mini carafes! Parking can be a challenge, but it's a cute little place! read more

We stopped in here the other day for a business lunch. The service was fairly fast, but nothing spectacular. The food was pretty good. I had a french dip. The meat was good, and the Au Jus was tasty. I was drinking water, but I only had a small water glass. It was the size of like a small juice glass. Put your hand around it and you can almost cover the whole thing up. The waitress left a carafe of water, and I literally filled my glass up about 15-20 times, adding ice cubes everytime until it was overflowing. Pain in my butt. I considered giving this 3-stars just for that, but...... ok, I'll put up with it. I doubt I will eat here again based on the price and based on the variety of other eateries in the area. read more

The food is amazing. I got their burger and Elvis fries and both were great. The hamburger was cooked perfectly and the meat was local and noticeably great quality. The Elvis fries were poutine style gravy with cheddar cheese melted in. They seriously rivaled all the poutine I ate while in Quebec. read more

My advice to all military and veterans (as well as civilian patrons) is to avoid this place. I'd give no stars if I could. The food is good but overpriced. The wait staff are nice, but the manager on duty on 7/1/2017 was a jerk. Took my family of 5 there for trivia night and dinner. At the end of the evening, I asked them if they have a veteran's discount. The waiter said that they did and he would ring up the ticket. He brought me 2 separate tickets - one for my meal with the military discount applied, and a separate ticket for my family. Never in my 35 years of military service and being retired has that ever happened. When I asked him about it he said that "his manager told him to do it that way." I've never been one to complain about receiving a discount and I feel honored when I am get one, but this was ridiculous. It's enough for me to say that I will never patronize this business again and will advise all of my friends and fellow veterans to avoid it as well. read more

We would go here every saturday night for geeks who drink trivia with quizmaster johnny. They no longer do trivia there so we no longer go there. Their food selection process was quite odd and since we went there for about 3 years we saw items come and go. Some made sense others even the staff wondered why they got rid of it. Some of the tops- open faced avocado chicken ranch melt pub chips ( think potato chips) freshly fried served with ketchup adult mac and cheese cheesecake any burger or chicken burger french dip pub wedge (think this one is a gone now) wings mimosas most items we have to say have 1 ingredient that they are trying to be cutey, or more irish and it makes the whole dish sound off. read more

This place has an extremely active trivia night on Saturdays. There were at least 30 teams and lucky for user came out 20th the week we came. If your party is more than 6 people, you'll need to split up. But there are plenty of teams of two, so no worries! People here are friendly. There are 8 rounds and and lightning question when you run up to turn in your paper. Send a quick thinker. Luckily, it's happy hour by the time your halfway through trivia night. They serve beer, and assortment of cocktails, and wine. I was happy to find the merlot. The appetizers work well with the cocktails and the serves are knowledgable and polite. If it's winter, avoid a table by the door. It can get a bit chilly. read more
