I'm visiting the Gaylord for a company event and decided to stop by the Mountain Pass Sports Bar for lunch after a long flight! I ordered the blackened fish sandwich with broccolini. It was all so good! The fish was a tad bit salty but I also have a salt sensitivity. Inside was large, clean, and plenty of HUGE TVs. Ethan was my waiter and was excellent! He was highly attentive and friendly. I would definitely be open to coming back here for another meal! read more

I'll pass on the Mountain Pass Bar Place is huge and loud - almost too loud Very limited food options for those not wanting bar food - I get it, it's a sports bar but salads are all premade so no adjustments allowed and all chicken is fried or rotisserie, no grilled options. Server was friendly but overall not impressed and won't stop here again. read more

We were staying at the Gaylord Rockies for a large conference and needed a spot to grab food rather quickly, so we decided to try Mountain Pass Sports Bar. We ended up going back twice, which pretty much says it all. Right off the bat, the person seating us was friendly and quick to acknowledge us, which we appreciated. That said, they could definitely use 1 to 2 more people up front. There's was only one person both days (at least at the beginning of the crowd) managing a lot of tables, so there was a bit of a delay getting seated because they were constantly running back and forth. We went both days right as the crowd was starting, and once seated, everything ran super smoothly. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I wish I could remember our first server's name. He was from CA and was fantastic. Really attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and everything was genuinely delicious. It's rare for us to go back to the same place twice on a trip, but this one earned it. Great sports bar atmosphere, plenty of seating, including outdoor seating, and it would work well for pretty much any sized group. I Highly recommend this spot if you're staying at the Gaylord Rockies or nearby. read more

Coming from Hawaii where space is limited. This restaurant was huge and spacious. I loved it. The screens to watch all kinds of sports is insane. They even had a second level. This place is huge! Our server was great and friendly. She was fabulous. I liked how well she knows the menu. You can tell when waitstaff don't know the menu when you ask them questions. I had the Rockies Burger and my friend had the roast beef sandwich roll. We started with wings. Everything was delicious. It really hit the spot. read more

Large portions! Nachos were made to share for 4+ adults. The chicken tenders appetizer came with five large tenders and fries. Kids chicken tender meal came with three large tenders and fries. The steak frites were delicious! Cooked perfectly. The fries were cooked well! Our server was very friendly. One down side is the table was too small for a party of four and all of our meals and drinks. Absolutely no space for everything read more

I realized I never did a review of my recent visit. Here it it is. I attended an event on a Thursday night and I had to pay for my parking for that event. I don't know how parking is if you have a dining reservation for one of the resort's restaurants. Walked up around 6pm to see if you could get a table. Waited for about 10 minutes for a party of 3. There was a sporting event we wanted to watch and they were putting it on the huge wall of screens that they have. All ages can eat here. We were sat right up front and that was a little difficult to actually see the game. But it was fine as I saw the game on other TVs they have around the large restaurant. It gets very crowded for big ticket sporting events that they show. The food was on par for a "sports bar & grill " sandwiches, burgers, salads , ribs. I enjoyed my burger and split it while sharing some ribs. Appetizer was nachos. The service was good for a busy night. Not too long of a wait for the food either. They had seasonal cocktails. Because it was busy we decided to head upstairs after we paid our bill as not to linger so others could sit and eat. There is an upstairs area with high top tables , booths , open first come seating recliners , and bar style tables. There wasn't any service up there , just seating. We waited for some recliners to open up and we sat there to watch the rest of the game. This is helpful for diners who want to eat downstairs and the seating upstairs works for those wanting to watch the game and not take up tables and enjoy their beverage not at the downstairs packed bar. We wanted dessert so I went down and ordered that at the bar and took it back upstairs. The bartenders were so helpful and kind and kept checking in on me while waiting for that to come out. The desserts were HUGE! I had to come back down to get to go boxes. Overall , I would come back and recommend to be strategic about what you want to watch and how you want to watch. Drinks up stairs and then eat, or eat and then relax up stairs. read more

This is a decent place to watch any sporting event and get a great cocktail or beer. Liza was such a great waitress and we don't have to ask for much she was on it ! The chicken sandwich was probably the best item we ordered along with the chili cheese fries. It's a cool place to meet up with friends and the menu has something for everyone . read more

After enjoying The ICE! How the Grinch Stole Christmas event at the Gaylord Resort, I went looking for dinner. I found the Mountain Pass Sports Bar. Very large space with an even larger video screen showing multiple channels. Nice Bar menu. We were greeted by Phoenix, a gracious server. I started with a large 23oz draft of Stem Ciders Apricot for only $14. I got the Fried Chicken sandwich on a Challah bun with an upgrade of onion rings. Just right. I saw 2 suites with golf simulators and an outside patio. read more

Mountain Pass Sports Bar - Mac & Cheese with Chicken Tenders - Sports Bars Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I'm glad Mountain Pass exists inside the Gaylord Rockies. It's one of the largest sports bars you'll ever set foot in, with the biggest 75-foot TV I've ever seen inside of a restaurant! Contextually it's important to remember that Mountain Pass is here for many different reasons. Inside Denver's largest hotel property, it feeds the masses. It feeds families, it's a casual atmosphere, it's more affordable than the other restaurants inside the hotel, and people come here to watch sports. If you're expecting gourmet cuisine visit one of their new fantastic restaurants instead! I've been here numerous times over the years and my 3-star rating reflects my experiences. It's been very good at times while sometimes underwhelming. It's consistently "fine" and that's okay for what it is! My family had a wonderful time at ICE! over the holidays and since we had kiddos and a newborn with us, Mountain Pass seemed like the best option. I ordered the nacho platter and it hit the spot. Big portions and odds are one person won't be able to take it down in one sitting. MOUNTAINOUS CHICKEN NACHOS ($18) // chile queso blanco, pico, guajillo chicken, pickled onions, cilantro, sour cream, salsa roja. Overall, our food was solid. Nothing mindblowing, but nothing worth throwing a fit over. Service was sporadic and ultimately led to waiting somewhat impatiently for the check. One of the orders needed to be corrected, but that happens. Again, the TV display is a work of art. Every game for every individual can be screened at once. Ask the staff to be sat near your game of choice. I also recommend checking out the upstairs because they have these comfortable reclining chairs where you can transport to the man cave of your dreams! read more

Mountain Pass Sports Bar - Nachos - Sports Bars Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is our second time eating here after flying in Denver and the wait time is definitely a hit or miss. Because the Gaylord hosts a lot of conferences, this impact our wait this time. We waited about 30min for a table and the service was extremely slow. To our waitress' defense, she was amazing and trying her best to deal with all the chaos. You can't go wrong with a classic burger. The Mac and cheese was heavy on the green onion which I didn't like. We of course plan on returning the next time we fly into Denver as it's become a tradition but be wary of the wait times. read more

Stayed at the hotel over the holidays. Would have loved to eat there but the wait was insane so we just order take out. *if you want to eat hear definitly make a reservation. Sat at the bar and ordered, it was hard to get someone's attention, but I get that its bar. They have so many seating options and massive TV's; I guarantee that your game will be on one of the big screens. The food was all okay, one of burgers were a tad pink and under cooked while the other was over cooked. It took around 30/35 minutes to get the food. I did take off a star because it smelled really bad. The bar area smelled moldy and damp. Overall good for a sports bar. read more

The TV's are awesome! The problem is they don't have a lot of sports sense - the College World Series deciding game is on & they have it on a small screen while they have both large screens on France vs Iraq which no one is watching. Made the request to change & nothing. I've been here twice in this trip & the service is very slow. On the 2nd trip I sat at the bar for 10 minutes watching 3 bartenders talk to each other before anyone came down to me. Great place, poorly managed unfortunately. Hopefully it gets better. read more

My boyfriend and I had our first date here in 2024. It's a fun experience, tons of TVs to watch sports on, and the food is good. Last year we came back and our server Matt was fantastic! He took great care of us for our anniversary and went above and beyond to make it special for us. We look forward to coming back soon! read more

Upon entering this establishment we were warmly greeted into a spotless dining experience. Phoenix, our lovely server, promptly greeted us and already began building rapport. After delivering our beverages our straw wrappers were removed from the table to maintain that spotless experience, to which my heart was delighted. When it was time to order, Phoenix spent time discussing our orders, ensuring we were made aware of options and prevent issues with allergies. When it was time to eat, Phoenix again came by to ensure we received condiments and refills as necessary. stopping by after just enough times to clear plates as necessary and offering to go beverages. Concluding our dining experience Phoenix then thanked us and once again ensured there was nothing more we needed as we went on our way. I can honestly say this was the best, and calmest dining experience EVER! Phoenix is a real gem and a true asset to this establishment! THANK YOU! read more

Hard pass on Mountain Pass. Cool TVs. Food is bad. Not just not good, but bad. Caesar salad was $15 and tasted like an armpit. No meat. Service was uninspired. I don't think I've given a 15% tip for a very long time, felt like that was a stretch. My kids are making sure that I point out that the chicken tenders were good, the chili dog was good (like all chili dogs) and the chocolate brownie thing was fine. Still chalking up a one for spending a couple hundred dollars to talk to your waitress three or four times and end up with an armpit tasting salad. Post script, the walk up to the room at the Gaylord made me feel like I was 10 years older, bloated, salt ridden, sad about wasting money. If the silly company that you work for is paying, go for it, but you're gonna feel like crap later. read more

Service started off well but towards the end of the meal it was hard to flag someone. This is a massive sports bar with plenty of TVs. The dishes were huge and completely shareable. The salmon was slightly overcooked but not dry. read more

We had picked up my sis-in-law from the airport and she asked if we could come here for lunch. We chose Mountain Pass because they had something for everyone on their menu. We requested outside seating as it was a lovely day. There is a nice view of downtown Denver and the mountains from their patio area. We noticed all the heaters as well as a fireplace so this would still be nice option in the cooler weather. My son is a burger guy and went for their Rockies Cheeseburger. He opted to get onion rings as his side. The burger looked delicious. He enjoyed every bite. He said the onion rings were crispy outside and delicate inside. Just right. Sis-in-law went for the Mountainous Chicken Nachos. She shared with the table and had plenty to bring home. These were some serious nachos. There was queso blanco, pico, grilled chicken, pickled onions, cilantro, sour cream and salsa. Every bite had all the flavors. Hubby went for the Fried Chicken Sandwich. It came with a Buffalo aioli and pickles and he opted for a side salad. He loved the flavor combination in the sandwich. I am a poutine girl. I saw they had Loaded Fries and that was my decision. They had me at smothered in pork green chili. It also had the queso blanco and a sprinkle of green onions. Delicious! It is pricey to eat here, but it is also a hotel and convention space. They do validate parking in the restaurants so if you stop for a just a bite, make sure to ask. read more

Service 10/10!! We came to watch Copa America on the big screen so we were there for several hours and our server checked on us throughout our time. Talk about a BIG screen! Great place to bring a big group and watch a sporting event. No spot you can't see a TV. Only downside is kids were running around which was annoying. The food is great but I hope you like pickled onion because it comes in almost every dish. The Mountainess nachos are exactly that, enough for three people's meal so great app for sharing! The resort is pricy so bring your wallet. read more

They've got sports! Tagged along to a conference with my husband and we stayed in site at the Gaylord. Since we didn't leave the property often, it was nice to have different options. On our final night, we went to the sports bar and it was great. The staff was friendly, provided great service and all the games were playing on the many monitors. It was a great post conference wind down. We ordered nachos and a burger and fries. The nachos could feed a couple of people easily! Very tasty and served on a flat tray. The hamburger was cooked to order and well seasoned. There were plenty of beer selections. I recommend trying the local ones before getting a favorite. You'll be surprised at the number of options and support some local breweries. Great place for a relaxed meal at the Gaylord. read more

I was hesitant based on the reviews being a pretty picky eater but when we got here in order the nachos, we were absolutely in love. The portion size was huge and the flavor was 10/10. I get people's frustration with the reservation but give them a little grace. We tried for lunch while staying and had no issues with walk in. Plus, if you're a sports fan, they have amazing TVs along the whole wall that have almost every channel playing read more

First off, the atmosphere is great here. The food is so so. We spent 84.00 on two meals and an appetizer, the meal was maybe worth 50.00 as the food was cold, the cheeks was dried out and to be honest it was very bland. I had high hopes for this place, and unfortunately I was let down. Also, they need to put window tint on the windows so the whole restraunt isn't blinded by the sun or be more conscious about where they seat guests. The service was great, the food not so much and the pricing was terrible for the quality of food you get. read more

We first go their and we did not know what to order then our server proceeds to ignore us for 10-15 minutes. I order the steak and frites and order my steak medium and once I got it the steak was raw and there was a hair in the compound butter. Plus did not get a steak knife when giving my steak just a butter knife. I then order the Mac and cheese after my horrendous steak and order with rotisserie chicken but then proceed not to get the rotisserie chicken with the Mac and cheese. Overall I will give them courtesy since it was busy but do not recommend! read more

Great Sports Bar with a Huge screen to watch your favorite game. Do make reservations cause it can get busy specially with the atrium construction going on. The food love the fried chicken wings but my small side salad was frozen yes the lettuce was icy even the tomatoes. So, I brought it to the attention of our server and she did bring me a new one saying "that my salad tasted ok" huh ??? She tasted my frozen salad ? I do visit here once a year during the holidays. From the bar to booths and tables it's a wide open dining area , can get a lil bit noisy Menu: Mountain chicken nachos huge platter great to share. Don't forget the chicken wings and dessert! read more

Mountain Pass Sports Bar - Nachos - Sports Bars Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We had a very large team dinner planned. Waiter refused to split the bill by player....which is something EVERY RESTAURANT DOES because they want the business. Took 15 minutes to bring 5 waters and a couple drinks to our table. We pressed him again about splitting the bill but he insisted it was impossible to do it. "Just split it 30 ways! Why's that so hard" was his response. So we left and they missed out on $800-900 worth of business. If I was the restaurant manager, I'd be pissed about that much money walking out the door. Their loss! read more

I was here for a conference. Food was fine but the service was subpar especially from the bartender Dasha. Just rude and unpleasant. I mistakenly thought she hadn't given me back my credit card, when I asked, she said she had and I checked and she was right. I apologized to which she responded, I've been doing this seven years, I think I know what I'm doing. Her demeanor the entire time was condescending. You'd think at such a nice resort as the Gaylord, that their customer service would be better. Made sure not to eat at the bar after that experience. read more

Mountain Pass Sports Bar - Chicken Sandwich. - Sports Bars Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

While staying at the Gaylord Rockies, I spent a bit of time in this sports bar. They are always busy so be sure you make a reservation or you have time to sit and wait for a table. Even the bar was packed every time I arrived so I couldn't even get to the bar to order a drink if I wanted to. One night I went for dinner and had a tasty salad with grilled chicken. I also ordered a pretzel for an app just because I love pretzels. The salad was nice and fresh, but I was disappointed in the chicken since it was rather dry and lacked flavor. Thankfully, I had some salad dressing to use as a dipping sauce so that helped. The others who I dined with ordered salads, salmon, chili, ribs, nachos, and a cheeseburger. Everyone seemed okay with their meals, but no one was super impressed since this is just like other bar food. Nothing too fancy. Another night I went and just wanted something for dessert since I had eaten elsewhere. The dessert I ordered was the delicious chocolate peanut butter cake. Of course, I had to share with others since it was a huge piece. This is quite a fun spot to watch a game as they have a large tv and many other tv's all over the place. This place can get quite loud so if you are trying to have a quiet dinner, this might not be the place for you. Drinks were good. Food was decent. A bit overpriced, but a good spot when staying at this hotel . read more

I went there to eat dinner the first evening. It was at the hotel. Everything else was closed. I ordered the nachos and there was tons of food. It tasted really good. And if a person likes sports bars, I have never seen a better one with huge and multiple TVs all over the place, for any kind of sport you like. Plus, of course the scenery out the windows is incredible. My server was awesome and attentive. I appreciate the meal that I had. This is located in the Gaylord Rockies hotel. read more

Went for dinner one night during our stay at the Gaylord resort. We went early so we were able to avoid any crowds. Probably one of the more affordable restaurants at the resort - and overall the food was pretty good (we had burgers, fries, and chicken tenders). Server was very friendly and attentive, and there are plenty of massive screens for watching sports. With the number of people at the resort for conferences I would certainly recommend getting there early if you can to avoid the rush. read more

I'm between a 3-4. The service was slow, the food did the job. Did I wake up craving the food the next day, no. The cauliflower appetizer was actually surprisingly good. I think it may be due to the sauce. I had a salad with salmon. The salmon was a bit over cooked, and the salad was large portion. If you are hungry, this will fill you up. It's a sports ar so they have TVs and a full bar. To be far I was here during a conference, so this possible is why the service may have been slower. The waitress was forgetting to come back to us to take our order, then forgot silverware and for a table of five she brought 3 silverware sets not five, our drinks stayed empty and we saw her just walking around chatting with the other employees. It's in the hotel so it did make it convenient, however don't be in a rush if you go to eat. The room can be a little loud. Have fun. read more

This place was so much fun! We were seated within 20 minutes. There are large TV screens to watch sports on. We went on a Sunday and had 3 different football games, a college basketball game, and the Denver Nuggets game. The fried cauliflower was crazy good! It was crispy on the outsider, soft and cooked on the inside. The crema added a nice flavor to it! The chicken tenders were so flavorful and a bit spicy. The beer battered fries were crispy and flavorful as well! The drinks were delicious but maybe a tad expensive for the size of it. read more

This is a fun place to visit at the Gaylord Rockies resort hotel. Tonight was the first time we visited this sports bar, we had other visits to restaurants here in our local Gaylord. Our server Nadja was so outstanding, her recommendations were spot on. I had the 1/2 rack of bbq ribs and my husband had the Philly steak, both entrees were delivered hot and with a side of battered fries!! Yum. We started with a piping hot soft pretzel with a white jalapeño queso. And the glorious ending was a fantastic serving of carrot cake not to be missed for the sweet tooth. Our only complaint is parking is charged! But if you are local tell the server for a local discount rate!! Overall a great choice oooohhhh forgot that there is a HUGE wall of tvs for all kinds of fans!! A little loud ,but fun. read more

Awesome big screen experience! Great place to watch "The Big Game".

One of the worst burgers I have ever had. Especially for the price. Very dry and no flavor. Kids Mac and Cheese had a very Smokey flavor, something most kids won't eat.

There are good servers, great servers, and then there is Aelish. We were reluctant to dine here again because our last time dining here 4ish years ago was one of the worst restaurant experiences ever. Thankfully, the Avalanche were on TV and it was Selection Sunday so we wanted to watch games so we stopped in. The layout of the restaurant was the epitome of a perfect sports bar where we could watch everything we wanted. The food has also improved greatly. Everything we ordered tasted like it was made from scratch and the salsa was literally a top 3 salsa for me. It was so good. The 7 of us all got different menu items and each person loved everything. This may be a restaurant we visit more often when we are up towards Denver. The service was quite possibly the best service we have had at a restaurant in over a decade. It was so exceptional we ate here again and invited our friends to join us for the second meal. Our server, Aelish, represented the Gaylord and Mountain Pass Sports Bar as though she had an ownership stake in it. She did EVERYTHING she could to ensure our experience was the exact opposite of our previous trip. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! read more
