Only blemish on this place is the lack of parking and the inside was a bit dirty. BEAUTIFUL outdoor space with plenty of tables and a fire pit. On the side of a road, but never seems loud. Inside there are tables, a bar, and plenty of TVs. Ordered the jalapeño pretzel bites: baked to perfection, not too spicy, and the queso and mustard dipping sauces were on point. Also ordered the fried cheese curds: huge portion for an appetizer and the strawberry jam that came with it -- yummy! Ordered the shroom burger and it didn't disappoint - a perfect combo of mushrooms, Swiss, and aioli. Would totally recommend if exploring historical LoHi neighborhood in Denver! read more

My fiancé and I spent a lot of time here during the Dutch World Cup watch parties (between the two of us we likely spent over $1,000). Yes, it was packed, but the atmosphere was fun and people generally made room whenever servers needed to get through. One waitress, who several people had already described as rude, forcefully plowed straight into me to get through the crowd. This wasn't a light brush or accidental bump--she hit me hard enough to knock me aside, never said "excuse me," and never apologized. Rude service is one thing. Being physically shoved by staff is another. A few minutes later I approached her and said, "I know it's busy, but you can't just plow through people--just ask us to move." Instead of acknowledging it, she argued with me. A little later the manager, Chris, came over and immediately accused me of making her cry, told me not to speak to his staff again, and basically said I could leave and never come back. He never once asked what happened or wanted to hear my side. I've worked in restaurants and bars for over 10 years, so I understand how hectic these environments can get. Being busy doesn't excuse forcefully shoving customers or treating them like they're the problem. The food has also been mediocre every time we've eaten here, so there's really nothing bringing us back. There are plenty of better bars in Denver with better food--and staff who know how to treat their customers. read more

I came in with 5 friends around 7 PM on a Wednesday. The place was hopping, but we were still able to be seated right away. Our server was super nice and the service was great. We ordered beverages, which came out right away, followed by our meal. We mostly all ordered some form of burger and fries. Tasty, and the fries somehow managed to stay warm for 20 minutes or so. I would call the food solid, the service above par. If this were my neighborhood joint, I could imagine visiting often. read more

We LOVE this spot. Such a good neighborhood go to. Beer is always cold and burgers are always good. I've had the mushroom burger, and bbq burger. The sweet potato fries are always a hit. The service is consistently good. It's a sports bar vibe, pretty lively. The only downside is how loud it can get during the games (go sports). We usually opt for outdoor seating in those cases. Overall, I would highly recommend!! read more

Very pretentious ambiance. The staff is unhelpful. Clearly needs training. I asked to sit outside and the hostess was confused on the cycle of the seating? bad vibes, average burgers. Plus 20% tip is automatically garnished, not encouraged. Do not patronize. read more

Went here during Denver Restaurant Week with family. Parking... does not exist. It's a very busy neighborhood so plan on parking a couple blocks away and walking. Or take a ride share to be dropped off at the door. The space itself was big! Outdoor seating and two large sections inside! I made a reservation and we were seated immediately. Since we were doing the restaurant week menu we had an idea of what we wanted to order. They were offering three courses (appetizers, entrees, and dessert) and took our order for all three at the beginning of the evening. I got the bbq crispy chicken wings, burger with a side of fries, and the ice cream sandwich. I thought the bbq chicken wings were great! Nice portion sizes and wonderful flavor! The burger was nothing special. I got a few of the toppings on the side so it turned into a cheeseburger with fries :) very juicy! I really enjoyed it :) the ice cream sandwich was a chocolate chip cookie with pretzel dusting! Really good in my opinion. My sister got the salad, burger with gluten free bun and sweet potato fries, and the espresso martini. She really enjoyed all three and was happy there was a gluten free option! Very inclusive. If I'm in the area I would go back for a to go order :) read more

They have a wonderful burger however the entire restaurant smells like flatulence. We had a reservation but were seated right next to the entrance which was propped open on the coldest night. Our party had to wear our winter coats. We asked to sit in the back room which had at least six tables of open seating and were told that they could not accommodate people there because two large tops had been seated. We were placed in the bar where music was blasting. I was a server for six years and a host for two. The same servers serving the bar were serving the back room. The failure to accommodate very simple ask was beyond me. read more

Delicious margarita ! Great place to pop in for a drink or a meal. Today was just a pit stop on a long walk and I got a drink Crystal got a water to cool off. But getting a meal here is always great too! Wanted to pop on here to say how great my marg was today though and the quick and friendly service ! Thank you to Sean M today! Forgot to get a pic of the drink before I drank most of it because it was so refreshing ! Fun music chill vibe and nice break from the heat with some solid air conditioning break. Bathrooms also super clean and well set up ! read more

My friend and i just wanted to get a quick drink somewhere and we saw this spot while walking around. It was pretty empty, there were about 15 people inside but that's expected for a weekday at noon. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very kind. I actually really liked the music they were playing and it was different from the edm they usually play at bars. We didn't get any food this time but I'll definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Ok! Saw this place on here and it looked good. The wife and I drove down to Denver for the afternoon. The hostess was super friendly and seated us quickly at a high-top by the bar, which was great. Our server came by promptly, and we ordered two sodas and the cheese curds--they arrived hot and were really good. We then ordered two smash burgers, one with fries and one with onion rings (+$2.50). The burgers were solid, though the dill sauce wasn't really our thing. Unfortunately, the onion rings came out cold and rubbery, so we sent them back. We also ordered two sides of ranch. When the bill arrived, it totaled $75, which was surprising. There was a 20% staff surcharge added (not listed as a tip), and no one mentioned it ahead of time. I also didn't see it clearly noted on the menu. On top of that, we were charged for the onion rings that were sent back and for three ranch sides instead of two. I wouldn't normally make a big deal over a couple of small overcharges, but between those issues and the additional ~$12 surcharge, it really added up. It feels like you now have to double-check for extra charges that aren't clearly disclosed. Service was genuinely great, but the food issues and billing confusion took away from the experience. Hopefully this is something they can tighten up going forward. 3 stars for the burgers and the service, the 20% service tax gets 0 stars. read more

My girlfriend and I ordered to go from here. We had never eaten here before. I got a burger MR it came so well done and dry that it disintegrated in my mouth. Also, my green Chile fries were smothered more in Pico than green Chile and the Pico was mostly onion. Finally, my girlfriend ordered a wrap and subbed the hot honey ranch for regular ranch, but it wasn't changed and she can't do spicy and it was so hot for her...so also only took one bite. This is the 1st and last time we will order from here. read more

Really enjoyed it! There were several non-alcoholic drink options, I had the "resting spritz face" which was so refreshing. We had also had the cauliflower wings (which are vegan) with the sweet chili garlic sauce which were flavorful and perfectly crispy. read more

The food is fine. The service is terrible. To add insult to injury, they add a 20% "service charge" and then still have the audacity to add a separate tip line. So you want me to tip an additional tip on top of a forced tip? No wonder the Sloan's Lake location closed. Pay your employees a living wage and don't force customers to pay for it. read more

20% service charge auto added that is not gratuity that's for "team member compensation"?! Yikes, too bad I guess we won't be returning unless they fix this. Bummer! I blame mgmt, increase the prices or something but this feels like a rip off. read more

Good little sports bar! It's a chain throughout Denver and gets the job done to watch some sports and have a beer. The service was great; quick and efficient. Last night, we went for a late bite and glass of wine! Got the double smash burger and the wings! The wings we honestly just fine they weren't crispy at all and the Thai chili sauce tasted kinda off. The smash burger was really really good! Although I thought the bun could've been better, the burger patties themselves were super tasty! read more

Katie is the shit. Order from her and enjoy the experience. Dry rub fries are also worth a try.

Great place to go in the neighborhood to watch sporting events and try all the different beers on draft The burger was bursting with flavor and mouthwatering cooked to perfection. The nachos were delicious and great for sharing. Could easily feed several people and the Asian chicken salad had a great dressing and the chicken was nice and tender. Would highly recommend visiting one of their three locations around Denver. read more

The nachos were supreme. The Bloody Mary was tasty. Brian tried a couple of beer samples. Brian had a burger and said that it was delicious. The atmosphere was lively. Our server was very good. They have outside seating with a fireplace and heaters. Bathrooms were clean. Parking is on the street. It was extremely loud- so no place for quiet conversation. We liked it and will be back. read more

Great spot for a burger and a beer! Especially if you're a sports fan! This is an excellent sports bar with great food.

Overall a good sports bar! read more

I have been here 3xs now. 1st time, I thought the burgers and fries were great. I bragged to a co-worker 'best burgers in town,' so we went. Fries were inedible just smothered in salt. The family wanted burgers and I took them here to try it out. Boy, it's a different perspective when your work isnt paying for it lol. $18 for these small burgers? The biggest issue was the server never mentioned a 20% gratuity was already added. Id rather give this 2.5 stars rather than 3, but I did have a good experience here so I'll round up to 3 rather than down to 2 read more

Came here before a concert, made reservations earlier in the day. All of the games were on and very loud. I ordered the cider blanc, very bitter and try.. not one I would order again. We ordered the Bavarian pretzel. It came out hard as a rock. The server brought another that was much better. I ordered the smash burger well done (as they advertise all burgers cooked to medium). The burger was cooked perfectly but not much flavor. The fries were cold. The server came back to check. I didn't say anything as I was ok with eating the burger by itself. I don't eat cheese curds so not sure how they were. read more

We sat outside on this beautiful evening me ryan and our friend Jeremy! Our server Terrance was a delight and was very attentive with some questions we had and making a drink with a few changes and a few food allergy questions. The food was great I especially enjoyed my smash burger. I have enjoyed the other tap and burger location and this one was just as awesome. Again Special shout out to Terrance for being so great! read more

Drop the check, no notice that they charge you 20% service charge. Definitely looking to get an unwarranted additional tip.

i dont usually complain too much but i am a bit frustrated with this restaurant when i received my bill. the waitress did not tell us that there was an automatic 20% tip added to my bill. Normally i would just add 20% ( on my own free will ) if the food and service was acceptable. i am not sure why they feel that they can add 20% without even mentioning it. i did not leave any additional tip. read more

Katie "Buffalo" is the best. Part bartender, part comedian. Always a good time. Great TVs and beer selection.

Casual lunch in a welcoming restaurant with plenty of room and not much noise. Service was friendly and the food hot and tasty. The cauliflower nuggets were crispy and gluten free. A special treat for me. The sweet potato fries were crispy outside and soft inside. The best I've ever had! We hope to come back again on our next trip to Denver! read more

My wife and I dined at the Tap and Burger in westminster. My wife got ill after eating there.

Better places thwt are far more reasonable. read more
