Last minute early dinner decision. Had to call to find exact location in the shopping center (it's behind Dominos). Wait staff friendly and helpful; food was so good; best part was the final bill - so much more affordable than most places. I notice they allow smoking on the patio - we did not smell smoke or anything, but saw plenty of happy customers out there in the 100 degree heat! We will return one day. So good. read more

Great patio for dogs! Good service and excellent food- especially the fired mushrooms. The fish and chips were delicious as well. You must try the homemade pickle shots- they're so fresh and bright read more

The service and product is exemplary. The clientele is amazing as well, you will never get ripped off here!

Great food, drinks, and service. Came here twice today with my dog and then with my boyfriend. Love that it's walking distance from our place. Definitely will be back with friends read more

Det blonda hästansiktet är oförskämt och börjar bråka med kunderna. Gå inte dit. Hon är elak och oerhört otrevlig. Hur får man tag på moderbolaget? Jag och mina systrar skulle aldrig åka dit igen. read more

My brother recommended this place, right in the neighborhood we grew up in! Outstanding service from Rachel, so friendly and great sense of humor! Most of us got the cheeseburger for the cheeseburger special, your choice of cheese and a bit extra for additional toppings! I got the cheeseburger with pepper Jack cheese (I know, a bit basic, but if you can rock a basic, you can nail a complex burger!)... the burger was cooked to perfection and it came with the most perfectly cooked tots I have had in a while!! (I am a tot hound... I was quite impressed!) The price is decent for the amount of food that you are served! Definitely a go to! I am impressed! read more

Doghouse Tavern - Cheeseburger Tuesday!!! Absolutely delicious! - Pubs Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My girlfriend and I stopped in today as she wanted to "talk" A "talk" is never good in my experience. This place is close to the house and we both know where it is. My first impression was really good. It's open, airy, clean and the staff is extremely pleasant. I had a beer and a burger and both were just right. The beer was icy cold and the burger was hot, juicy and well made. You can or outdoors or indoors or right on the cusp of both which is really cool. The parking is plentiful and the parking lot is safe. There was a few transients in the parking lot asking for change but this particular parking lot near Home Depot has a real problem with this year round. I was quite happy with my meal, my beer and the service. I will happily return. And the best thing? It wasn't a bad "talk". My girlfriend told me she loved me and wanted to ask if we could move to be girlfriends, officially. Of course I said yes. We make a great couple. I love her deeply. read more

Great food and friendly service! We will definitely be back during football to check out that vibe.

First time here as I was meeting some friends nearby. I had the Ceasar Salad topped with blackened chicken. My wife had the Nachos Supreme. My salad was delicious. The romaine tasted fresh and the chicken was only slighty overcooked. A copious amount of croutons topped the salad. My wife's nachos were gorgeous and were sumptuous. They were meaty, cheesy, and nicely flavored, but the jalapenos were the star. The sevice was excellent and responsive. The tavern is clean albeit a bit rustic. read more

The regular blond bartender is terrible. She is only nice to regulars. I have gone in several times with different people and she has been a bitch every time. She looks and acts like she hates her job. I've been going since it was BVI. Bartender needs to go! read more

This past Wednesday my friends and I were thrilled to go to our usual spot grab some food and catch up. One of my friends grab a few toothpicks and was berated by the aggressive woman bartender who I thinks name is Lisa. She was extremely rude and hostile over this incident, which blows my mind. What's the point of them sitting out if they apparently can't be used. We didn't even finish our drinks we felt so uncomfortable by her actions. My friend even apologized. We will never come back if she's working. read more

Nice atmosphere, very friendly and attentive bartender/server. I brought my Labrador with me and the server brought a bowl of water right away. Cold beer, good burger. Nice place ! read more

Stopped in for wings And a beer , I don't understand why the staff is so rude, three bartenders in front of where I sat when arriving and not one greeted me or asked what I needed, I had to get their attention after sitting for 3 minutes and got attitude .saying please and thank you to someone who is disrespectful is difficult to deal with, needless to say I won't return to this place ! read more

Jen and Annette are awesome very attentive and very friendly atmosphere is like old-school Colorado friendly inviting. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

We found this little place after being at Ft Logan National Cemetery. We were looking for a place to grab something to eat and this place popped up and did not disappoint. Val was an amazing staff that greeted us and made sure we were well fed and happy during our stay. This is now one of our go-to spots! read more

Good food, fun vibe, nice people... The bar tenders are always nice. We enjoy this place as a hangout for the big games!

We moved to Bear Valley a few months ago and have been coming here at least weekly ever since. It has a great dive bar feel, the food is outstanding, and the staff is so friendly. 11/10 recommend. We take all of our visitors from out of town here too. Reading these other negative reviews is a bummer because this place is so great. It's also a dive bar so maybe don't hold it to the standard of a 5-star restaurant. Regardless, you should go here :) read more

Cheap, ice cold beer. Stellar burgers. A decidely blue collar crowd. No frills and uncomfortable booth seating. Dog House is petty much everything you could want from a neighborhood dive bar. We really love this place and come back whenever we want to enjoy a casual, IDGAF spot to unwind after a long week. I think what I like most is that whether it's your first or fiftieth time there, the staff makes you feel like a regular. They are as attentive or hands off as you want them to be and really know how to hustle if it's busy. Food doesn't sit in the window and beers are poured and served quickly. It's actually a little dangerous how much you can drink in a short amount of time. We've also tried a few menu items, all of it standard bar food but made fresh and cooked well. No frozen crap thrown in the fryer to save a few bucks. What keeps me coming back are the burgers. Meat isn't a mass produced or cooked into a hockey puck. They're thick, juicy and filling with all your favorite toppings. Nothing crazy or hipster, but still thoughtfully made. We're yet to stick around for late night shenanigans, but that's not really our scene anyway. Come enjoy the patio and a cold one this Friday. We'll see you there. read more

This place is your typical bar and grill with a friendly neighborhood charm. This is a great place to grab pub food and drinks. The food is really delicious and conistent. We come here for lunch often but have grabbed late night bites as they serve food until midnight. The staff is amazing and a big part of it's charm. It seems they have low turnover because we see the same employees every time we go which is a couple times a month. They always remember us and make a point to say hi. The service and food is always super quick! I can easily get in and out in 30 minutes while I'm my lunch break. This is a great option if your looking for a bite to eat in Bear Valley!! read more

Fantastic food and service! Nice open space with patio available as well! The team is always welcoming and the beer is always cold!

Talk about going downhill!! This used to be a great place to stop!! Pass it up! No beer selections, the items on the menu aren't available. One bartender and you still have to go to the bar to order food, really!! No wonder the place was empty!! read more

Stopped in on Friday evening and the drinks were very good and the bar tender was very nice and quick. I will return to try other beverages as well. read more

I absolutely love this bar. They've seen me laugh, seen me cry, watched me cause trouble and helped me through tight spots. The epitome of neighborhood bar and I very much enjoy everything about the Doghouse read more

Sadly, I will not be returning here. Over the past few years I have brought friends, family and co-workers in to eat. The food is always delicious and fresh. Unfortunately, the owners are terrible. I will never return and I will be sure to tell everyone I know not to go back there. read more

Hidden gem tucked away! I had no idea this bar was here and am kicking myself for not realizing it. Great atmosphere the bartenders are amazing especially Dani even though they were busy she was able to see to our needs beyond expectations. Awesome place I'll definitely let everyone I know become aware of this bar. New favorite spot! Thanks again! read more

Came in looking for a beer and a quick bite. When the server finally wrapped up her conversation with the numerous regulars and decided to acknowledge me, I could tell I was inconveniencing her. A single diner, probably not worth her time. But, I was able to order a 16oz draught and my thoughts turned to food, I should be getting a menu any second, everything's going to be fine. Instead, the server went back to her conversations, then wholeheartedly welcomes another set of regulars walking in the door. As they exchange pleasantries my patience begins to wane. But what's this I see? She's grabbing a pint glass and pouring a beer (this must be mine, it's the kind I ordered after all, not a type that's hugely popular) multitasking, a hallmark of any good bartender/ server... Nope, she hands my beer to the regular, and asks his guest what he'll have. That was it, I got up and left. I was in the Doghouse for probably 15 minutes, served nothing but distain and indifference. I'm sure the Doghouse is a great bar. If you're a regular. Even though I'm not looking to make new friends, I'll be looking for a friendlier spot to stop. read more

So you're grabbing a neighborhood dive bar with above par food. Place has a divey bar feel, but the food is pretty decent. Nothing extravagant, but solid pub grub at market prices. We came in around 9pm and needed to grab some food after a meeting. Not bad food (I'm a food snob so give me a break), interesting environment and surprisingly good service. Good luck finding this place. Think King Soopers off of South Sheridan, then go way back, see the casino bus place to the right, and keep going. They're on the corner of casino bus and no man's land. Sorry if this is confusing, but it took both my wife and I in separate vehicles 10 minutes to find this place. Worth it! Food was really pretty good - pulled pork hoagie covered in slaw with a side of fries was $7.95 or something like that. Fries were really good. Sandwich was solid. Totally full with the amount of food. Actually should have stopped sooner as I was too full. Service - absolutely ecstatic with the attention to food, drinks, checking in. For a divey bar this is their winning point. Atmosphere: divey not biker, sports not cheering, music I have no idea: we had country and Metallica in the same 45 minutes. And a little loud. Value good, service great, divey, music meh. Worth a visit. read more

I literally moved within a mile of this place and while I'm not necessarily the bar hopping type, it's nice to know there's a cute little watering hole within walking distance of my house! There's ample and open seating with booths accessible by two sides, and it's just a casual atmosphere. They offer a decent menu of your typical bar food eats like fried pickles and hot wings... CAUTION their hottest sauce is truly hot AF!!!! I love hot stuff... like I eat jalapeños for breakfast, lunch and dinner but these hot wings really kicked my ass! Hahaha. So have caution when the servers actually tell you that their hot sauce is hot. If you like a healthy burn in your mouth but not your bum, stick with the buffalo. We ordered several Moscow mules. They were so good! Plus the service here as awesome. I really loved our server. He was this tattooed young guy who had the perfect balance of talking to his customers but still checking on everyone in a timely manner. So glad I live close by here now, I definitely plan on returning! read more

Worst experience I have ever had at a bar. I have come here multiple times and never been treated the way I was today. I have come here many times and seen people on the patio with their leashed pets. Today there is floor work going on at my house so I thought I could come stay outside on the patio and have a couple drinks while the dogs are tied up and I could get some homework done. Unfortunately as soon as I sat down someone came out and told me dogs are not welcome. I can't very well take them home. Why I was singled out when there have been plenty of pets here is beyond me but me nor my family will be going to a place that picks and chooses who to enforce rules that are not posted on. read more

The bathroom attendant was super inappropriate. The bathroom attendant manager was even less helpful.

Service is awful. I think the staff is rude and the menu is so limited. Don't waste your time or money. Doghouse not even worthy of one star. This placed used to be awesome but hey went downhill. read more

I was very surprised. We happened to be in the area, and didn't want to eat crizap. We Yelped of course, and found this place. There were comments about burgers and good service so we figured why not? He had a burger (single) and I had a burger (double, heh). We ordered tots and fries, plus drinks. The burgers were actually VERY good. My husband rarely compliments anything, even real magic or unicorns, but he complimented this burger, and this says something. Definitely good food, good drinks and a good place. A nice neighborhood joint and definitely a good place to stop in, if you're in the area. Highly recommended! read more

I was in the area during dinner time and decided to check this place out. I ordered the fried mushrooms, a basket of onion rings, and the Good Ol' Boy burger with fries. The mushrooms were okay. It comes with a side of ranch that was flavored with what I believe to be dill. Very overpowering. Not a fan of the ranch. The onion rings were basic beer battered and nothing special. The burger was best part of everything I ordered. The meat was juicy and the bacon crisp. It was quite large and I could only finish half of it. The accompanying fries were nicely seasoned and crisp. Service was friendly, but a bit slow. I'm assuming it's called the Doghouse due to all the pictures of dogs on the wall. It's located at the end of a strip mall, so there is ample parking. read more

The patrons were friendly, as were some staff. But it was hardly welcoming and never got a hello, thank you, etc. I don't think this was on purpose, but the staff when I visited were pretty oblivious to details. For example: - I ordered a whiskey and coke, for example, and the barkeep poured vodka. 2 out of 3 times. - She mentioned that the night was a bit slow, but then proceeded to wash and loudly stack glasses right in front of me, which wasn't my idea of winding down. I covered my ears but this clue wasn't noticed. - I wanted something to snack on, but didn't want a full meal and so I asked if they did half-portions. The reply was no, because they food is "great." I would have liked to have tried the some wings, but the minimum order was $10 for 8, which might be the most pricey in town. This bar is out of the way, but based on my experience, isn't worth going out of one's way to visit. read more

This is where you want to go to " do your time" when the line at the DMV next door is hours long. Not so relevant for this review, but should you be employing this strategy, on the day I was here, the DMV averaged about 2 mins per number... Meaning I had 2+ hours to kill to cover the time between #600 and #674. That's time for lunch and two beers. The place is a little hard to find - it's really tucked away. It's at the far south end of the section of strip mall containing the DMV. From Home Depot, go east across a though-driveway to the other section of buildings. The bar faces south. As far as the bar itself... slightly too nice for dive. There's a jukebox, pool table, a few TVs, and a golf game for entertainment. 12 taps: 6 macro lagers (bud and friends), 3 great divide, blue moon, Tommyknocker maple brown, and NB seasonal. The usual bottles. Big bar with seating for over a dozen, hi tops, tables, and a few booths. The burgers are pretty solid, very homestyle with a buttered, toasted bun. Burgers come with fries or house-made, crispy, skin-on chips. Overall, tasty food, pretty solid beer selection, and okay ambiance. About a thousand times better than sitting in line at the DMV. read more

Like all bars owned by this bar's parent company, Doghouse Tavern is a great neighborhood spot. The menu is no-frills bar food but it's always well-executed (e.x. "medium" = pink). The tap list is well-rounded, but this isn't a craft beer bar. It's a neighborhood watering hole and anyone specifically looking for craft beer should check out other options in the area (there are several breweries nearby as well as The Pint Room). There are always folks smoking on the patio outside. As a non-smoker I wish they'd have a little better separation between the spaces since it can smell smoky near the patio, but there are almost always a few tables elsewhere. I've gone to the Doghouse Tavern on both busy nights and slow nights and never found the service to be anything but good. There's an internet jukebox (worst invention ever IMHO), pool table, and golf video game if you need something to pass the time beyond friendly conversation. read more

For a vegetarian, having a bar that serves veggie-friendly food is very impressive in itself. You would not believe how many times when I went out with friends I had to resort to fries or onion rings, and MAYBE a salad. I went in about a day after they had first opened in our area. I went in and ordered a spicy veggie wrap. It was pretty good, and they give you a huge bounty of waffle fries with it. I went again, and this time ordered the veggie burger. VERY GOOD. I believe they use Morningstar products. They offer chips as a substitute for free, and $1 more of you want a salad side instead. Because I'm a salad lover and want to be more healthy, I usually opt for the salad side. At first I didn't like that it was an extra dollar, but they gave me a large salad that made up for the price. It is usually tradition that I go with my sister because this place is our "hangout". When I ask for it to be split, they give us two FULL sides. So the $1 extra for salad is easily worth it. The drinks are very good. And best of all, I love the staff there. They know us by name now, and even named a table "TabbyKat" after us. They are VERY friendly, and are very good at keeping an eye out for the tables when drinks and food are running low. The atmosphere of the place is very relaxing. People bring in pictures of dogs and it is mounted all over the walls. The lighting is dark, but not so dark that it is hard to see. During warmer months, they lift up a garage-style partition and there are plenty of shaded tables on their patio to choose from. Careful though, only one toilet for females and males which can be bad if you've had one too many drinks. :) read more

Love this place! Food is so awesome...great weekday specials too! Service is friendly. Two girls running the entire front (bar, dining, and patio) and didn't effect service or wait time at all. And how can you not like a bar that allows your dog on the patio and has photos of dogs all over the walls?! So glad this place is in our neighborhood! read more
