    Stopped in for a late dinner on our way back into Denver from a Red Rocks concert. It was fairly busy for 10:45. We were greeted and opted to sit at the bar. The bartender (maybe manager) greeted us and shared it's the oldest bar in Denver, which was cool to learn. The restaurant was pretty dim but it was late and we didn't mind. It's a small quaint space but oddly perfect. We were there for quick bar food, but decided to also order drinks. We had an espresso martini and a cosmo. Both great options. We also ordered a grilled cheese with tomato and lettuce, combo fries & onion rings, a cheeseburger and buffalo chicken tenders. The food comes out on a carrier that also houses many condiments and essentials. It was a very old style presentation and we enjoyed that. Everything was delicious and service was quick. We are from Florida but when we're back in town, we will definitely visit again!

    If you're looking for good food and cheap drinks, My Brother Bar is the place to go. I just moved to the Platte Street area and my goal has been to try new places a couple times a month. I've heard good things about this place. They are mainly known for their burgers. And they did not disappoint! We came on a Friday night and they are open till late which is great for a late night dinner and drinks. The place was moderately busy but we got sat immediately. They have a popcorn machine in the restaurant - I asked our server about it and she brought us over a serving! So ask for popcorn if that's of interest to you! I got the classic cheeseburger and it was delicious. A solid burger and you can add your toppings. They bring you over a box that contains some condiments, pickles, onions, relish and peppers. A great touch! Fries are also solid. Service was good and quick which I appreciated. I definitely will be back when I'm craving a good juicy burger :)

    My Brother's Bar is still killing it. Our latest visit was on a Sunday - something they haven't always done, I hear. We stopped in for brunch - served until 2 pm and all ordered from their limited breakfast menu. Not mad about it. My breakfast sandwich on an English muffin with bacon was scrumptious and my partner was quite happy with his massive breakfast burrito. If you know MBB, you know their drinks never disappoint. Today was no different. Their wait staff is great and on Sundays during the day, they give every kiddo a ballon. So cool to see families dining in and enjoying the patio, the bar and dining room. As always, we'll be back!

    Overall a cool vibe. We shared a burger and fries / onion rings. The place was busy at 2 pm on a Saturday. Love the history and food was great. Our bartender was locked in and working hard. It could use a deep clean thou!

    This is a small cocktail bar with very limited seating. The bartenders are very attentive and curate a beautiful cocktail experience. Cocktail can be a little expensive which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 as $20+ for one drink is steep but a nice treat every once in a while

    I had been to this place one other time...a work function. Years ago. I had to make the return trip because it continues to pop up on all of the best burger lists I read (which I do a LOT), and my work thing was just a buffet thing (still good though), without the burger. Anyway, my wife and I went with my intentions fully on the burger. First of all, service. Miguel greeted us as our bartender and gave us perfect service throughout our visit. There is an art to being there whenever you need something without being intrusive, and that is what he did. Thanks, Miguel, you elevated our experience. I had the Fremont Lush IPA, which I know well and glad that they had, and my wife had a very solid Bloody Mary. And she is picky. We both loved out burgers. I asked about the one go-to, and he said the JCB. I got it double style, with bacon and swiss. Loved it. It goes on my list of best burgers personally, and I will definitely be back for it. We each got a side of fries, and we probably over-ordered on that-our bad. The Cajun aioli to dip them in was fantastic. I hope their kitchen creates a house-made hot sauce before I come again. Let's talk about the presentation. Loved that also. Some might be hesitant about a burger still in paper wrapping, but that made it genuine, basic, and wholesome. The rest of the presentation was ridiculously awesome too. You get a whole cart of pepperoncini, relish, pickles, and onions. Awesome. We also loved the vibe of the place. Sort of dive-y, and you could also call it...cozy, I guess. Right up our alley, but you do you. The quality of our burger, the exceptional service by Miguel, and the side presentation for the burger earns this place an easy 5 in my book. I highly recommend, and see you there...

    Obsessssed with this place. I came here with a friend when I was in town and I absolutely loved the vibe. It had a laid back pub vibe but great cocktails and the burger was chefs kiss. Greasy, delicious, cheesy, and exactly what I wanted. The onion rings were fresh and crispy, and all of the condiments came in a little tray to serve yourself. Martini was dry and cold, I would definitely return!

    On our last day in Denver, a couple of hours before we needed to head to the airport, hubs asked me to find the oldest bar in town. My Brother's Bar was at the top of several lists I found online, and not far from where we were downtown. So we decided to go. As it was mid-day on a Monday, parking in their lot was easy. We initially sat outside in their cute patio area, but then decided to find a table inside to soak up the "oldest bar" atmosphere. We made a great decision to move, but don't snooze on the patio if that's more your vibe. Even though I'm not normally a burger gal, My Brother's Bar seems to be known for a solid classic burger so that's what I ordered. I was amused & delighted with the caddy of toppings & condiments that was brought to our table. And that burger was delicious! Hubs ordered chili & onion rings, and enjoyed both. I really loved our visit to My Brother's Bar! And I could FEEL the history of this building in my soul. Plus, that burger was simply perfect.

    A classic dive bar feel with a limited but proven menu My Brother's bar feels like the classic bar & restaurant combo that existed before the age of fast food and chain restaurants. The food is simple and tasty, it comes out quickly and got with a tray of condiments to allow you to customize your own at the table. The service is wonderful as well. Where My brother's bar loses me as a regular patron is on price. Paying almost $20 per burger is insane. These are not gourmet burgers, while they are tasty they are diner style burgers. I know it is downtown and they have limited seating, but it seems like a reach to charge this much for what it is.

    Had a burger craving and this was pretty close to where we were earlier in the evening so we came by. I also didn't remember we'd been here (and sat outside) a few years back before we moved to Denver. Weird memory, but my google history confirmed. We waited in line for a few minutes since it was a busy Saturday and there was an outdoor event going on next door at REI. It was just two of us so we ended up getting seated quickly after that. I ordered the regular burger (tomato + lettuce are $1 extra, fries or sides are extra) which was $10. I guess reasonable? Though I think charging extra for a slice of lettuce and tomato is a little weird. My husband and I shared a "large" side of fries + onion rings and it was a big enough portion for us, but I would imagine a small would be VERY small as the large was not VERY large. Anyway, burger was pretty good, cooked the way I wanted it. They also bring a little plastic corral kind of contraption to the table which has condiments, including hot peppers, onions, relish, ketchup, etc. Kind of cute? The place def has that old school 'cooked onions' smell which I kind of like. The spot was busy, had that old school divey vibe. Waitress was a little frazzled but service ended up being alright.

    If you want a great dive bar and a great burger, don't hesitate. What you see is what you get. It's rugged with quick service and no small talk with bomb food. Love this spot. It's also celebrating it's 150 year which says something about it's longevity! What you see in the photo is the Johnny burger. Fire. Cheers!

    My wife and I wandered into My Brother' Bar to get lunch on Saturday. We had read the burgers were terrific. My wife ordered the Johnny and I had a cheeseburger. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful. The staff all seemed as though they liked working here. It is certainly worth stopping by a Denver Landmark.

    Classic, historic, and a genuine must visit. They put the condiments in a clear box which is super cool. Steps up the condiment game. Solomon Keim

We sat ourselves, and a waiter came over to greet and bring us menus. There were tons of different versions of French dip, and lots of their menu items seemed to have Asian influence. we ordered the Karaage, the Saigon, and crispy potatoes. Everything came out super hot and fresh. The Karaage was like thin chicken strips with a batter with subtle Asian flavors (ginger/garlic). The crispy potatoes were VERY crispy- to the point that they were a bit overdone. The Saigon had flavors of a banh mi but with beef. It was an odd combination and I felt like the potion of meat was lacking but the Sandwich still tasted great. The jalapeños added a pretty spicy kick so keep that in mind if you don't like that hotness. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and the ambiance was very laid back and chill.

    Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.
