Ordered the nachos they were $9 and worth it! The green Chile was amazing and flavorful I ordered it without sour cream and it was still delicious . Best nachos in Denver so far made with real cheese not the canned sauce. Had a house beer and nachos for under $13. Bartender was very attentive and sweet . Still has the dive bar feel which I love and it isn't pretentious. read more

Bloody Mary's were amazing, I loved it and drank it it way too fast. Then the mimosas were awesome too! My partner and I came to Denver for our honeymoon, but this honestly hands down, was the best place we have been to. The bartender was awesome, she was the best! Thanks for the great food and drinks!!! read more

Convenient, friendly, and decent options. I mostly go for a quick happy hour, but menu looks good and I think kitchen is open late.

We literally just left this place 10 mins ago. Was walking around with my wife and we decided to stop here to grab a bite to eat. We stood at the bar for 5 minutes while the bartender working at the time had her back to us the whole time while talking to another gal at the bar. Keep in mind it was dead in there. Didn't even bother turning around or nothing. Won't be back. read more

Tip & first impressions: Parking in side lot or on the street. Open, clean interior with lots of room. The staff is well educated, and it has a nice menu. Review: Dulce Vida was written up in our local newspaper, Life on Capital Hill. After having read the article, we made it a point to go the very next day. I am so very glad we did. Interior - Let's call it "Industrial Sports Bar." Nice, clean, large, open, not crowded, or at least, not yet. Blacks, grays, steel, with beige thrown in. Clean lines of sight, very little clutter (or walls, etc.) to distract you from watching the large number of tvs (I believe there are about 10 or so). Actually, it's one large room . There are 3 of those large garage type doors, which when opened, let in the gorgeous Colorado sunshine, and you can pull up a seat, and enjoy the view! There are 7 large community type tables, with high metal stools (with no backs). Several of the other tables did have high chairs that had backs. So, don't fret, there is plenty of seating for all. Oh, did I mention, that this place can easily hold at least 85 people, after counting the chairs! WOW! Bar- a large bar that can comfortably hold at least 15 - 16 people. The extra glasses and such, that all bars have to stock, are up on shelves, that are hung from the ceiling. As I said earlier, there really is a clean line of sight inside the restaurant. Your views are not blocked by anything. I really liked this! After ordering, I did walk around, and I saw there is a smaller room, towards the back, and there was a pool table back there - nice! Further investigation, looking out the windows, revealed a nice size patio in the back. No tables or chairs, yet, but I'm sure that will be remedied soon. I asked Ally, our waitress, how long the establishment had been opened, and she said 1 week. So, give them some time, and I'm sure there will be tables and chairs back there soon. I can't wait to enjoy the patio! Menu - small, yet good. Granted, we only had two things from the menu, which were the Chicharonnes and the Buffalo Meatloaf Burger. The Chicharonnes were good, just the right bite size to munch on and enjoy with your beer. The Buffalo Meatloaf Burger was very good. I can't say that I've ever had a hamburger made that way, but they definitely have a winner there! We will definitely order the burger again, and the Chicharonnes again too. Service - excellent! Ally, our waitress, was friendly, knowledgeable, and very pleasant. She remembered our names, and gave just the right amount of service. She was very knowledgeable about the food (how things were made, spices, etc.). She even started out by asking if we had any food allergies, which is unheard of! I've very rarely had a waitress or waiter ask me that question. Smart! This way, she could gently guide us through the menu. Menu - good selection of Appetizers, Jailbreaks, Burgers, Serving Concurrently, Cups and Bowls, as well as Salads. If you are wondering what the Jailbreaks are, you will have to go, and find out for yourself. Prices - normal everyday prices Parking - side lot or on the street. I'm not sure, but I believe there is parking in the back as well, but don't quote me on that. So, after such a great review, why only 3 stars, you ask? Well, it's because we've only been there once, and I wanted to "go up" from there. So, see you there! read more

Incredible flatbreads, beer and staff! Who knew about Saturday and Sunday buy a meal and $8 mimosas! What a deal! If you need to watch a game... They have 12+ tvs! read more

Dulce Vida - Trivia night - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Came here for brunch and to watch the NFL championship game and had the $8 bottomless mimosas. I guess the mimosas could have been better...wasn't really a fan of the brut that they used, but it was okay. I ordered the Pork Belly Benedict and it was overall, decent as well. I wasn't a huge fan of the fact that the dish was somewhat cold, especially how they put the pork and egg on top of the room temperature corn bread, ugh that corn bread really made it not as appetizing. What was really good on the plate though were the fried potatoes, they had great texture and were quite addicting. I really hoped the food was better at Dulce Vida, but it is a bar, I just hoped for better. The venue was really nice to watch the game though and the service was not bad either. read more

Bartender provided no service. People that came in after us received food before we were even given a chance to order. Waited 40 minutes just to cash out. read more

Wow! This restaurant is amazing! The chicken fried chicken with sage gravy, the green chili and pot roast are to die for. The customer service is impeccable especially from Courtney and Joe the manager. We will be back! read more

I was torn to rate the restaurant at four (4) or five (5) stars, it was quite wonderful for my first visit! A small group decided to try Dulce Vida for Sunday brunch and it was perfect! Each member of our group tried a different brunch item & no one was disappointed! I tried the Southwest Benedict and I didn't leave a single bite! The staff were very friendly & attentive. We took copies of the menu to share with friends & we will definitely return for Happy Hour (and return for brunch of course)! read more

Oh Dulce Vida, how sad it makes me to have to give you such a low score. So I have been going here almost weekly with my classmates for the past few months since it's super close to school. Normally, we have a great time eating food, playing games and get schwasted and if I would have rated it any of those times, I would have given it 5 stars. That being said, I spent last Friday incredibly sick hours after leaving Dulce Vida. I would have thought it was just a bug BUT then I talked to my classmates and some of them had the same thing happen. I was going to chalk it up to just a bad night but last night, yet another person got the same illness (cramps, barfing, etc) after eating there. So it looks like our time at Dulce Vida has now come to an end. read more

Ok I guess weird vibe no one came over until I asked for a drink menu! Drink was over priced and mostly ice! Except for the super cool locals I met this place was a d+ . This review is based solely on drinks not food! read more

Great food for a bar! I got the lamb and goat cheese sliders and they were delicious. The house beer is great. They also do a meal deal with an entree, 2 sides, a salad, and a beer for $13. Such a great deal. Everything our group got looked delicious. The bartender was also super friendly. Would definitely go back! read more

An update...Went here today for Saturday brunch (it's our 5th visit but first time for brunch). We sat at the bar and got excellent service. Sean was our bartender, he was friendly, knowledgeable and very engaging. He recommended trying their new summer brew on tap which was a dried apricot blonde beer by dry dock..it was awesome!! I ordered their crab and crawfish benedict and my boyfriend had their chicken fried chicken again. And without disappointment both food items were delishhhhhhhh!! I am obsessed with their hashbrowns that they serve with brunch...crunchy and full of flavor, def a must try! We have never been disappointed with food here, the chicharonnes are great, the spinach and artichoke dip is creamy and tasty. We always look forward to come here every time and have brought some friends and they all love this place too. A great atmosphere to hang out and play some games with friends and toss back a few beers. Love this neighborhood bar! read more

I've been here twice for happy hour so far. It's a weird crowd - half dive bar, half young working professionals from the neighborhood. The food is surprisingly good and the beer selection is decent. Good pricing on happy hour. The service is spotty, but, as with any new'ish restaurant/bar, I'm hopeful that management will separate the wheat from the chaff. That is, of course, unless management itself is the problem. Definitely not a date place. Decent parking. I'd give it 3.5 stars overall if I could. read more

They fired most of the old bartenders and management - much, much improved since my previous experiences here.

Good food. Had the Thai chicken wrap expecting it to be mediocre but was actually really good. Great prices too and not too crowded read more

I love this bar. The bartenders are always hospitable and take care of my partner and I when we come in. They make everyone feel like family and remember you and your drink order. The food is great and as a southerner I highly recommend their new po-boy. Jordan and Cheyanne are our favorite bartenders and always try to take care of us as priority. We love them. Love this bar and hopefully you do too! read more

Pretty damn amazing. Sunday hot spot! Great brunch , great service, and amazing atmosphere. I've been here 3 times with two different bar tenders . Both are amazing. Jessie is fun and professional . Really made my day. She remembers my favorite drinks and food. I didn't catch the others name on may 22nd but dispite how busy it was she made me feel welcome and was awesome . I will continue to come here every Sunday . I introduced my boss to this place and he is a regular now to read more

Dulce Vida has excellent food and great service! The menu has quite the selection, there really is something for everyone (quite a few gluten free options as well). Some of my favorites so far: The Lager Steamed Mussels are to die for and the Shrimp N' Grits with Eggs for brunch, the sliders, Waffle Fry Poutine are all amazing as well! They have a wide variety of beers on tap, a nice open patio, a pool table, a Foosball table and the Bonus Hole game (soooo fun!!) read more

I visited Dulce Vida on Friday On my lunch break. I've never been before but I have heard good things about it from my coworkers. So I figured I would give it a try. The bartender, Kimmi, was very friendly and engaging. She got our drinks to us right away and gave us a menu for lunch. She gave great recommendations on the food. She told us to try the Mexican hamburger. Which was delicious. The green chili was some of the best I've ever had!!! I will definitely be back on Friday afternoons to come. I am very happy that I know about this place now! read more

If you are looking for place to have to have nice lunch this is not it!. The food was marginal and bland at best. I went in with four workmates and we all came away disappointed. Food( we had everything from the buffalo meat loaf , steak and onions and the chicken fried chicken) was served slightly warm, veggies appeared on the verge of turning and appearance was unremarkable. Yes, some of the plates went back to the kitchen uneaten with no doggie bag requested. The saving grace was the adult beverages but tdid not salvage the meal. I might go back for a drink and watch a ballgame here but no way would I give this a place a second go around on the eats. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood, and also cut the hair of the Dulce Vida rep (who told me I should check out)... Just walking by, you'd think they weren't open, or its a dive or whatever. (This is because of naggers living across street) THIS PLACE has a "tequila"name, and soul food. Friggin SOUL FOOD. And other food... But everything's been awesome! Especially the friendly bartenders and cooks. Owned by same guys as dive inn (always been a fan) and same feel. Fun games, great patio, good food, and you should come here. read more

Good choice of beers on tap food I cannot comment only because this guy is watching his gut!

Stopped in very quick for the grand opening. From what I remember it seemed like a great neighborhood hangout. My margarita was delicious, too! read more

We were scooting by and have been here a few times before. My fiancé and I wanted to stop in to play an innocent game of foosball. We work overnight shifts and enjoys odd weeknights out. The bartender greeted us by saying, "this is not an arcade you need to buy drinks." We knew we had to pay for foosball and were prepared to exchange our dollar bills for coins. The bartender reiterated we needed to buy drinks. Very uncomfortable environment. Not the local friendly vibe we are used to for cap hill. read more

Yelped this place for happy hour and I wasn't too amazed. When we got there it was pretty empty and there was only one girl serving. I don't know maybe because it was a Monday I guess. Anyways I ordered the spicy margarita and IT WAS spicy but good we also tried the artichoke and spinach dip pretty good too. Service was ok not too impressed read more

Great service and amazing food best nachos and green Chile in Denver hands down! Manager/owner was very attentive and welcoming ...

We came there for lunch and even if the place was pretty empty the waitress/bartender ignored us for the longest time, then the service was insanely slow and rude. I ordered a salad served in a metal plate that made the dish looks like a jail platter and I found a long thick dark hair in it, gross! read more

I would give this 0 stars if Yelp let me. Last Monday 8/12/2019 we went to Dulce Vida for lunch to celebrate a few birthday's at work. We decided on this place because it was right up the street and had ok bar food. So 10 of us left work at 11:30 for the quick ten minute walk to Dulce. We got there and were seated right away and got our drinks pretty quickly as well. Everyone arrived at the same time and knew what they wanted to eat really quickly. This is where things started to go down hill. First off the one lady working there was the only one. I totally get this as I was a server and bartender and got surprised by lunch rushes in the past. The way this person chose to handle it was rude and off putting. After taking all of our orders we waited about 30 minutes and my lunch came out on it's own. I felt weird and didn't want to eat in front of everyone so I tried to wait. And the next order would come out 10 minutes later, and then another ten minutes later. The last person didn't get their meal until over an hour after we ordered. This is bar food! Mostly wraps and it took forever. Not only that she delivered a quesadilla that was supposed to be beef to someone and it was SHRIMP. He is allergic to seafood. He asked for the beef one AGAIN and it didn't come out until everyone had finished their food. At this point he asked for a box since we were ready to pay. By the time she got around to bringing the box and checks he decided he didn't want to risk his food being spit in and told her he didn't want it. She never once said sorry for almost killing him and she never said sorry about how slow the kitchen was. It was absolutely the worst service I have ever experienced. She was hustling for sure but avoided eye contact at all cost. I know this is not her fault as the kitchen was VERY SLOW but she was rude and didn't even seem to care that we spent 1.5 hours waiting on bar food on our lunch. Needless to say we will never be going back to this spot. We had a few people from work walk in half way through the ordeal and we told them to leave due to the terrible experience and service. It's a shame since we are so close but i'd rather walk then be treated like this again. read more

Best green chili in Denver!! Service to match, highly recommend this place for downtown lunches

Food questionable and the environment is very loud. Many better choices than Dulce Vida.

Dulce Vida feels like a fun neighborhood bar, and makes me wish I lived in their neighborhood so I could visit more often. We went on a Tuesday evening and they were still fairly lively, with the bar nearly full despite the tables being mostly empty. Their menu is fun, with lots of great appetizers and some great looking meal options. We stuck to the appetizers, and had a few pretzels with our beer. They were very hot and tasty, with house made mustard and cheese sauce. Drink prices were reasonable, even after happy hour, and the service was fast and friendly. We'll be back for sure! read more

I just had the steak and onions Jailbreaker with the cucumber salad, salad wedge, wild rice and complimentary beer. It was served on a very cool compartmentalized tray like Japanese meal. Great presentation with fantastic flavors. Everything was fresh and the service was friendly. Also a nice breeze on the patio kept me cool on a hot day. Great spot downtown. read more

Not bar food! Really pleasant daytime place, yes it looks like a typical neighborhood bar but the food is well made, healthy and super tasty. I had shrimp creole w/ pork cucumber salad and quinoa salad all amazing. What a pleasant surprise! Love this place read more

A friend of mine told me about this place and I'm glad I listened. A fun environment with good food and fun, attentive staff. My wife, father in law and I came by for and drinks. The wedge salad was bomb and great bloody Mary. Cool industrial feel with plenty of TVs. read more
