    Linger is situated on what used to be a mortuary. Spooky! However, there is nothing spooky about the service, food, and atmosphere here. It's all peachy! The atmosphere is super nice. Especially on a day with the sun out and a slight breeze, make sure to sit by the open windows for a phenomenal experience while looking at the Denver Downtown view. Bonus points if you get their bottomless mimosas! I was impressed with their food. I got a Mongolian BBQ Duck Bao as well as the Maine Lobster Roll. The bao was too salty for me but I typically like my food on the bland side. The lobster roll was great! I have had lobster rolls before with a weak portion of lobster but there was plenty on the one at Linger. The side of potatoes excellently complemented the lobster roll. Kat was our server and she was great with answering all of our questions, checking in on us just the right amount, and being very personable. Thanks, Kat! If you are looking to take someone on a business lunch, a date, or anything like that, I would highly recommend going to Linger!

    Smashed Wagyu Sliders

    This was the best meal I've had in a long time. I loved every single thing I ate - my favorites were the sliders, dates and cheese curds. If I had to leave anything it would be the chicken satay (not photographed), but it was very well done. It was also one of my favorite vibes I've had in a restaurant - tastefully moody but inviting. We had reservations (highly recommend) and were seated after about 10 minutes. Our waiter was helpful with the menu but no where near overwhelming.

    I can't believe it's been 5 years since I last visited Linger! I love the Edible Beats restaurant family. I'm pretty sure I still have a little money left on a gift card and would love to come back again. The most recent time was for a work dinner. We ordered an assortment of dishes to share. Their cocktails are tasty, though I don't recall which ones I tried. Not a bad seat in the house, either. I'm always a fan of their Devils on Horseback. I enjoyed the Steamed Bao and Sweet Potato Fries more than last time, though YEARS ago my visit was during the pandemic. The Ube Ice Cream was unique - would recommend. Actually, it's crazy to look at my food pictures from both visits and realize I basically ordered the same things. There are lots more options on the menu, which I'll try next time!

    Denver "Omelette" Sammy

    Well... I used to really love Linger but this last experience was really just ok. For starters, it was extremely hot in the restaurant and incredibly loud even though it wasn't really that busy which just made it uncomfortable. The server was very nice though but the food.... Meh... we went for brunch and my mom had the BLT Biscuit which came out cold, she liked the salad however the plate was so hot it made her salad warm. I had the Denver Omelette Sammy and it was ok. It says it's a crumpet but it was 100% an English muffin and it just wasn't great. There just wasn't much flavor and the home fries were too salty. Maybe it was just a bad day... I'll definitely try again.

    HOT HONEY SWEET FRIES Æ ... Waffle Cut & Mile High Seasoning

    Linger's rooftop atmosphere was great! The food truck was cute--unfortunately, (for me) there were too many people in front to take a photo, but the two guys working it were very friendly. The food we shared: CRISPY CHEESE CURDS: Beer Batter, Shishitos & Jalapeño Jam and HOT HONEY SWEET FRIES Æ: Waffle Cut & Mile High Seasoning was tasty. The drink prices were very high; two of us purchased the rose bubbly, and the pour size was very small f"and cost $16 per drink. My partner had a beer. My drink, plus his beer, plus tip was $30. Yikes! Neither drinks were fancy and a bottle of MCBRIDE SISTERS sparkling rose in a liquor store is $17.99. I know that venues and restaurants upcharge, however, for the pour size...ridiculous. Luckily, the atmosphere outweighed the overly priced drinks.

    I've been here 3 or 4 times, and every time, it does not disappoint! The vibes are on point. I can't wait to check out the rooftop sometime. The staff is always friendly and makes great suggestions. And the food is always fresh and delicious. Linger is a Denver staple!

    I have a bit different opinion about this place now as I dined at this place with my daughter about a week or so ago on a Wednesday and from service to food to ambiance, everything went quite well (to my surprise.) Hence, I must write. We showed up to our 5:30pm reservation. We were immediately seated unlike the last time (at our last dining occasion 6+ months or so ago, despite making a reservation, we had to wait for AT LEAST 10-15 minutes or a bit longer until they had a table for us.) This sure was a nice start. Then our waitress, Lauren (Lo is how she goes by, I believe) was exceptional. Her attentiveness coupled with her quiet and yet eloquent delivery of speech to explain several different menus and her familiarity with them was top notch. She was also able to make great suggestions as to which dish(es) we should get when we stumbled. Some dishes were a bit too salty to my liking and yet overall, they entertained our palates and stomachs. To mention some of them, the presentation of the Crispy Filipino Spring Rolls (2) ($7 from the HH menu) was creative. The long skinny deep-fried spring rolls were unapologetically and perfectly deep-fried with the nicest crispiness. The two sauces that accompanied the rolls added some enhancement to the whole savoring. The Smashed Wagyu Sliders' meat was quite rich. HH price of $8.5 is one-piece price and we ordered two of those. The portion size was decent. Anything that's wagyu can be pricey; I can call $8.5 a decent price. My daughter wanted skewers so we got us the Bison Steak Kushiyaki based on our wonderful waitress' suggestion. The meat was quite tender. Well-seasoned. Now our dessert to conclude our night - and once again, based on our wonderful waitress' suggestion - we went with the Maduros & Crema (roasted plantain, crema de queso mousse, smoked almond & cotija). This truly shocked us as we had never had a dessert quite like this before. Although this takes long to prepare (as our waitress explained), it was worth the wait. $12 (as of early March of 2026) seemed like a fare price for it as the portion size justified it. I think I will dine at Linger again. Although it still isn't my absolute favorites, our last week's dining experience became a reason as to why we should consider Linger as we see fit.

    Fun rooftop bar that's an eatuary because it's where it was once a mortuary. Great happy hour with many app and cocktail options. We had their old fashioned. Service was kind and the offline app works there as well! Great little part of town

    Final Petal
    Bassey A.

    We had brunch reservations here for a friend's bachelorette and it was a great space to gather with friends. The service was the best, they were so attentive and provided great recommendations for food. I loved my drink, the Final Petal and my friend got the breakfast Dosa which was delicious. Highly recommend if you are Denver.

    This is a cool restaurant and bar that used to be a Mortuary. It has very comfy seating with an open air view of the funky Highlands area of downtown. Our server, Katie was attentive and also offered several great suggestions on the menu. The three of us opted to start with 2 of the pork belly Bao-so delicious! We then had the potstickers which were so flavorful on their own that they did not need the dipping sauce. Then we shared the duck confit fried rice which did not disappoint. We were pleasantly satiated with those three items that we did not have room for anything else. The bar on the second level looked like the old Light Brite game above and on the bar top. So fun! I definitely recommend this place and you should make a reservation as it's quite popular!

    Tried Linger for the first time during Denver Restaurant Week and had a good overall experience. The special was $45 per person for a three-course meal, plus an amuse and specials on different alcoholic drinks. I went with one other person, which worked out well because we were able to try a lot of different dishes. For starters we chose the Mongolian BBQ Duck Bao Buns and the Crispy Togarashi Brussel Sprouts with pickled mushroom, hot honey, and yuzu kosho aioli. The bao had good flavor but could have used more fresh textural elements. That being said the brussel sprouts were delicious! They were crispy with a really nice balance of sweet, savory, and a little heat. For mains we ordered the Crispy Trout and the Hanger Steak. The trout was the standout of the night it was super flavorful with punchy spices and just the right level of heat in the sauce. The different textural elements in the dish with the fresh notes and crunchy notes kept the dish so interesting. The hanger steak was a bit disappointing in comparison. The beans on the plate were slightly tough and overall the flavors didn't quite come together the way we hoped. For dessert we had the Italian Coffee and Donuts and the Maduros and Crema. The donuts paired with the chocolate ganache were fantastic. The maduros dish was really creative and interesting conceptually, though for my personal taste it leaned a bit too sweet. For drinks, I tried the Resting Place cocktail (lavender vodka, raspberry, lemon, and tonic), which was very refreshing and well balanced. Service throughout the meal was incredible and the dishes came out perfectly paced, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The only downside is that parking in the area can be tough, so plan ahead. Overall, a a fun Restaurant Week meal with great service and I will definitely be coming back to try their regular menu!

    Linger's food definitely surprised me, but in a good way! You have the option of sitting in the restaurant or going up to their rooftop, however, their rooftop has less food options than the actual restaurant, so beware. Me and my friend ended up on the rooftop, since we wanted to be seated more quickly. We decided to split the smash burger and the ramen. The smash burger was perfectly seasoned! The hot honey sweet potato fries were unique and very tasty. The ramen was also a surprise! It was also very cold that day in Denver, so it was the perfect entree to split. The broth was pretty flavorful for being a fusion restaurant. I would definitely be curious to eat from their full menu in the future to try other food options, but I would say Linger is a great spot that would satisfy many different tastebuds!

    Hangover Ramen and Korean Fried Chicken Bun.
    Awk S.

    Quick little stop for lunch. We made reservations but it wasn't very busy for a Saturday around lunch time. The rooftop wasn't open when we arrived, but got a table by the window. We ordered the Korean chicken buns and hangover ramen. The elderflower spritz was also a refreshing cocktail. We will have to come back and explore the menu, cocktails and rooftop!

    How limited is parking? I see they have valet and street parking. I'm trying to decide whether or not to take the light rail. If parking if difficult to grab, I might just take the train. Suggestions, anyone?

    There's a public parking lot across the street we didn't have any issue parking on a weekend evening there. There's also street parking all around the neighborhood.… 

    Is the rooftop with food truck as first available or reservation?

    I have been able to get it as a walk-in, but I'm sure your mileage may vary...

    Does Linger have TVs? Would they be playing the college National championship?

    No tv's! Great spot for good food, drinks and discussion!

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Doubt it since the patio is the rooftop.

    What meal or dish would you recommend?

    We had the Bao bun trio and the devils on horseback, both were delicious

    Are they doing anything for mew years like a roof top party?

    We typically offer a pre-fixed dinner. As long as the weather is great we will have the rooftop open!

    Is brunch everyday, or only on the weekends?

    Brunch is Served Friday- Sunday, from 10:00 am - 2:00 PM. Check out the Bottomless Mimosas!

    Do you have to make reservations for dinner?

    No they are not necessary. However, Reservations are highly recommended.

    Are they still having their regular happy hour 4-5?

    Happy Hour is currently available 4:00- 5:00 pm Monday - Thursday

    Do they have any gluten free options?

    Yes! Their gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu (try the bacon wrapped dates and waffle fries!), just make sure you specify you want the items gluten free.

    Do they allow you to bring your own wine and pay corkage?

    I don't think they are BYOB. Not from what I seen during my visit

    Do they have late night happy hour?

    Yes! :).. Enjoy the view.

    What time are kids allowed until?

    Kids are definitely welcomed there. They have an awesome kids meal that they serve in a bento-box style plate, and they have high chairs.

    Is the patio heated during the winter?

    A part of it, it is. I don't think they are on on really cold days.

    How kid friendly is Linger?

    Not very at all at the bar but maybe downstairs with reservations... but the bar is a bar scene

I won't completely spoil it for people who want the fun of the hunt, but I'll leave a few hints at the bottom. The drink special that night - their version of an Old Fashioned - was excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The other cocktails are liquor + mixer with the soda or bar gun. We tried a local gin (can't remember the name) & soda and a Four Roses Bourbon & Pepsi. There was a odd flavor that came with that round and tasted watered down. Stick with the special. So good! I'd go back all day for the special alone. The staff was a little bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the experience. Everyone was nice, but they didn't seem especially engaged, and the attire didn't really match the speakeasy atmosphere. That said, the space itself is large and immersive enough that once we had our drinks, we just leaned into the whole experience and had a great time. HINTS: 1. Go to the address listed... duh. 2. Something is COOKING through the glass. 3. Find the stairs down. 4. If you hear music and see some impressive doors, figure out how to LIFT the handle to get inside.
