Hands up, volleyball players, music lovers, bar goers and sportsfans - this place easily sat/stood a group of our folks (anywhere from 6-10 over the course of a couple hours) in the awesome open air bar area. We shared some 'za (food hall has other options) and watched some football with the soundtrack of live music. The garage doors open to an outdoor turf stage and the second smaller bar marking the perimeter of the sand volleyball courts (sign up for seasonal leagues!). The coolest part is the tab - you wear it on your wrist and tap to order/pay for both food and drink! Happy Hour tends to make an abrupt musical transition from laid-back patio party to bumping uh-tiss, but bring an outfit and mood change and you'll find yourself staying entire Saturdays there. read more

How can you get a receipt? When you walk into this place, they take your credit card and you then access areas with a wristband. Then you leave and walk out the door when you are done. I came in with a friend and we got food from the take out window and each had two drinks each. Two beers and two whiskey drinks. The food was three street tacos and two buns. Food was good and priced right. Maybe 5-6 dollars each or less which is the reason for the stars. Very tasty. So I was surprised to see the 118+ dollar check. You do not get a receipt to verify the charges. Are they charging gratuity? A service fee? Or are they just expensive? Well you wouldn't really know unless you brought a pencil to keep a running tab. Also we made a reservation, only to be sat outside, at a standing area, where we were then corrected for not having on a mask. This is where you sat us! I am all about being safe, but why take a reservation to have someone stand outside in the cold without a heat lamp around. I can do that at home. I've called, I emailed, I even messaged the business on opentable and got zero response requesting a receipt. I did not even know it was legal for a restaurant to not give a receipt. What is stopping a place like this from padding a check? You want to trust people but with the process they have in place it makes it really easy for you to spend money but not actually see on what. read more

We worked with Shara Dowd (GM) to rent out the semi-private indoor space for our wedding weekend welcome event. It was especially affordable because we could rent out just the space, and let guests pay for their food and drinks. (With a guest list of 200 people, this was a financial lifesaver!) The space also came with private bartenders, and the decor is just fabulous. Westword readers voted for Number Thirty-Eight as having the best bathrooms at a venue in 2022 - We have to agree! The tiniest thing we didn't realize was that no one from the venue would meet us a the blocked off semi-private space - we just showed up and were able to walk into the space and use it early for our wedding ceremony rehearsal. Highly recommend if you're looking for a semi-private space to host an event that doesn't break the bank! read more

great atmosphere, but the mixed drinks TASTE LIKE ASS!!!!! I mean honestly they're so badly made. The IPAs are good tho 6/10 for drinks 10/10 for location and place read more

Number Thirty Eight - IPA - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Beware of your card charges when visiting here. Never received receipts after our visit, emailed and took over a week to receive detailed receipts. I was charged for food items I never ordered. My boyfriend got 1 sandwich ($15) on his tab but somehow was charged over $65. How are people able to put things on our tab without our knowledge? You can't even call to get real help. Flawed system but overall wish the customer service to help handle this was better. read more

Really cool place! Lots of space and outdoor seating. The food is really great too! I was really impressed. There was a DJ and a local band that performed. You do have to make reservations currently and that includes outdoor bar/rail seating. Drinks are good with lots of options but you don't know the actual prices for each one as none are listed individually. There is a sign at the entrance that says ranges from $8-13. FYI It's also contactless paying, so you attach your credit card to your bracelet and then can leave when you're done and not have to checkout with anyone. read more

Great vibes here! Beers are $5-7 a piece and lots of outdoor games and seating. I wish they had a larger beer selection since they currently only have a few beers per brewery (9 breweries) when they have room for twice that. Hopefully this increases as the place grows. There's food too, which I didn't try since it looked a bit pricey for what it is but nice to have the option. read more

Lively atmosphere -- this is a place to scope out people and pick up dates. Still, the acoustics are terrible. In the indoor space, it's hard to hear your friends because noise from music and chatter is constantly bouncing off the walls and ceiling. The food is pretty tasty, but this restaurant has few offerings. The pizza isn't available much of the time. Number 38 has a sneaky policy of collecting credit cards and handing out wristbands to track purchases. You are likely to get charged more than you would expect. The payment system slips in charges for tips. Some of the menu items don't have visible prices. The staff doesn't hand out receipts, so you might not see the bill until it appears on your credit card a month later. Watch your money if you go here. read more

We are baffled at how bad this place is food and drink wise. We ordered THREE different major menu items, being excited to try the place. The pizza - sheesh... burnt rubber, as far as the crust goes. Underwhelming is an understatement. The ramen- great flavored water. The noodles were also some form of rubber. The tacos - ordered three different types. The (child sized) tacos we got... and legit.. $5 tacos you can eat in 1.5 bites... chicken tinga is delicious, if you can get over the pillow foam of a tortilla it's served on. If this wasn't enough, the drinks are also......... yeah. Just don't get a "margarita" ...But at least the music didn't suck! read more

I had a great time, food was great and the music was hype making it an ideal place to hang out.

What an amazing space and concept. I was around people but had more than enough distance from everyone. Food was great and the drink selection is plentiful. The auto service charge is a great idea. Did I mention there was a live artist?!? Suggestion: 1. We should have an option to tip the artist especially in these trying times. 2. I loved how everything was wrist band pay but is there any way we can acces our account so that we don't have to worry about erroneous charging? 3. Caught me by surprise that last call was at 6:30 for the early seating. Which is no problem but maybe just tell people that when they check in? read more

Great place to watch some live music, quick service. Love the card system. Didn't try the food but looked good

At first I wasn't into it. I'm a dive bar guy, I like to pay for 2 dollar coors lights and a 5 dollar greasy cheeseburger. But that's ok, this is a nice place. And they treat their employees well as far as I can see. You don't even have to worry about tipping. Yes it's expensive. But they are professional and seem pretty consistent and professional compared to other places that host similar bands. (coming from a musician) read more

Don't get me wrong the venue and decorating in this place are on point. The food options however are lacking greatly. I ordered three different options to see the caliber of the cooks/menu. Each thing I ordered was not only something that struck me as delicious but the taste and flavors from the food just were nothing to brag about. The idea of this place is awesome with the wrist band payments, live music, multiple beer stands to order from but as someone who enjoys a good time and good food, this place just doesn't do it for me. Hopefully they can get some better food options in here. It would really make the place an awesome venue. read more

Great addition to the denver music scene!! Awesome beers on tap, super yummy food and great talent booked! Can't wait to go back! read more

Sure would be nice to know if you are closed out on your tab. They looked at me like they were dumbfounded for me wanting to see what my tab was. This places is a joke!! They also add gratuity of 20% which is fine, but like I would like to know who that is going to. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to attend a networking social at this event venue. The open air concept was perfect for an outdoor friendly day in Denver and we enjoyed rotating from bar to restaurant to outside seating tables easily. With a large group it was comfortable and easy to social distance if you wanted to. I recommend this spot for events and group meetings. I'll be visiting for a concert or movie night in the future. read more

We came here on the second day open.. Atmosphere - awesome. The open space design is fantastic. I also really like the RFID bracelet to pay for food/drinks (even though the bill will catch up with you). They also have a dj stage and volleyball court. Drinks - super heavy on beer and cider, all colorado brands which is nice. It would be cool if they had more cocktail options. Food - the reason for the poor review... The fish bao was extremely salty, pork bun bao was dry and the piece of meat was tiny and the kpop fries had a kind of odd cheese sauce with barely any pork. It just felt like no one tried the food before they opened. If they got that down the place would be fantastic. read more

Stopped in this weekend, was a horrible experience for me. I suppose since they automatically charge you a 20% tip, they don't worry about providing good customer service. Rude hipster bartenders who short-poured beers, plus I witnessed one of the sweaty cooks touch his face, then put out raw hamburger on the grill with bare hands, then grabbing buns and prepping meals without washing hands. Grossed me out. Giant area with only a few seats, so be prepared to stand and wait for a table to come open. Mostly disappointed how rude the staff was. Sorry to bother you with my business, won't do it again. Bad parking situation too. Live music was good tho read more

This place removed my previous review because I'm sure it went against community guidelines. I payed for a weekend event through an online platform. The payment processed without notice of it being a vaccinated only event without the option to test. Drove 45 minutes to the event to be denied entry. The majority of people in this event were without a mask. Make your own judgement read more

This is such a cool space! You get a wristband at the door and that is how they scan to charge you per beer. There is a ton of seating, a volleyball court, and live music a lot of the time. Plenty of televisions for people who want to watch sports. We brought a deck of cards and met up with 12 people, had no problem finding seating, and hung out and drank for hours. We just got a few orders of fries, but they were good. Great place to visit in Denver! read more

This venue is in the middle of a gigantic construction site and parking is pretty difficult. The food and drinks are pricey for what you get and there's an automatic 20% gratuity added to every order. This would not be a problem but the bar and food facilities are both basically self serve. The place is clean and has a good selection of beer and OK bar food. However the place is not set up very well for hosting live music. read more

Cool space. Horrible process and audio for events (I.e. Avs game 4). If no event, worth the hangout for sure. Pick your timing. read more

Can't understand how a place can charge a mandatory 17.5% gratuity when the customer is required to serve themselves. My table spent a good portion of our reservation waiting in line to deal with rude staff. Half of my table ended up not ordering food despite being hungry, after witnessing unsanitary actions by multiple cooks in an open kitchen. Imagine what they would do behind closed doors. I can see potential in their outdoor space however their whole service system is ashame. 10/10 would not recommend or come back. read more

Such a fun place to go and hang with friends. Drinks are really good and food is even better. There is always live music, outdoor games and an awesome outdoor area! read more

Don't bother coming and watching the women's world cup. They failed to tell the huge crowd that they had no sound outside till 5 minutes before the game started. And told people to "just be quiet and we can hear the audio from inside". And then played two different feeds so that the people watching the Telemundo broadcast found out goal scores a minute before everyone watching the big screen outside on the YouTube channel, effectively ruining the watch party. Just be more thoughtful and transparent. read more

Great outdoor, open space spot to grab drinks. Did not try any food but will be back to! They link up a bracelet to your credit card so you always pay throw that. Which was really nice and simple. Almost too nice ;) there was a DJ + the Masters on a TV. Definitely will be back for live music and to try some food. read more

Absolutely ridiculous that my friends had the table for 3 and waiting for me but when I arrived they wanted me to make the line when all people In the line did not have a table inside. This is the worst customer service so far in Denver. Btw the line was very big. Definitely the people at the front desk were rude and not nice at all read more

This is probably the best bar I've ever been to. I wish they'd bring this concept to San Diego. A great place to watch football. An awesome place to kick back with friends in their lounge area. The beers were good. The food was incredible. The customers were friendly. I will absolutely be back!! read more

Love that everything is local! Music is always good and I enjoy the layout. The food is also amazing and I always anticipate the lamb tacos!! This is such a great concept! read more

I held my 50th birthday party here and it was a blast! Amy, the events manager, was a pleasure to work with - the food was delicious, drinks were flowing and the ambiance was great - we had our own section cordoned off, with couches and tables and chairs and we brought in silent disco which was a blast! Can't recommend it highly enough! read more

One of my favorites for food and drinks! Such a fun vibe and space. Always live music, rotating cocktails and beer, and outdoor activities.

A friend of mine organized a private event at the outdoor space here for a going away party for her co-workers and I am honored that I was able to attend this fabulous event! The space itself is so cool, modern and open. You walk in and check in at the front in order to get a bracelet, which is how you'll pay for all your drinks. The bracelet is automatically hooked up to your credit card, so you don't have to worry about taking your card out for each drink and signing and tipping or forgetting your card at the bar! Very cool way to speed things along at the bar and just make the process all around easier (especially after a few drinks). There's a lot of open space inside where the bar and food is. And then outside is really where the action is! We came on a Saturday evening at 6pm and the outside was packed, there's some tables and chairs and then AstroTurf and then stage, which alternated between live music and DJ throughout the night. Seating outdoors seemed a little difficult to secure, but luckily we had an amazing dedicated space. It was roped off for us, and the staff was super helpful at keeping the area secure just for our party. I highly recommend the Gingercello Mule, and they also have a pretty awesome selection of local beers (they're organized by brewery -so you kind of have to walk around to see everything they have to offer). All the bartenders were super friendly. They also have some yummy food, I had the fish tacos which were great, but everything from the loaded fries to the bowls all looked great. read more

Don't book group events here. Once they have a larger party, they will cancel on you last minute, even if you had a reservation.

Great bar with great vibes! The band that played was really good it was super sunny and the food was great great experience overall! Would definitely go back! read more

Cool place but extremely rude employees. When my party was checking in, a woman at the front with short blonde hair asked us (4 of us standing together) if we had been helped. I responded "no" and she said "I wasn't talking to you" (but apparently her question was directed to another person in our group standing just to my right). This is within the first 5 minutes of walking in. This employee gives a bad vibe to an otherwise cool place. read more

Decent atmosphere, even though there's no fire pits or heat lamps. Servers are rude though and I've been four times now. They act as if we are troubling their day so it kills the vibe. Foods ok. read more

Love the outdoor space, and the pork bao buns were worth every penny. Live music is back and better than ever.

Really awesome concept and so great to see some live music again! When I visited, they had only been open a week however. Not all of the bar and food stalls were open, less than half I think. It was also a very chilly night and the "heater" we were seated near was barely working. Ended up leaving early, it was just too cold. The bar situation was also a bit confusing and just overall lacking in variety and options. I'll definitely try again on a nice day or night when they have a bit more experience under their belts and work out the kinks. This place has incredible potential. read more

Super cute & cozy atmosphere, kid friendly, amazing staff, delicious cocktails! What more could you ask for?! The wristband makes for an easy departure. We will definitely be back! Curious to try the food next time :-) read more
