Ironically not actually 'pet' friendly as shown on maps, the logo, and the multiple dog paintings of dogs in the doors/windows... Service dogs only-- including the patio.. your actual pet has to sit along the outside wall of the patio on the sidewalk attached to a carabiner. The staff was kind in the few second interaction we had -- just clearly disappointed that we wasted our time driving over because the map said it was pet friendly and we would have just gone elsewhere in the first place :) read more

The Spot is a classic sports bar located in the Wash Park neighborhood. Drinks are fairly cheap and there are plenty of TVs for game days. You can typically get a seat, but know that it will be packed for big games (buffs, Broncos, etc). read more

Spot Bar & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great place to unwind on Sunday. Now I'm ordinarily a Jamo man, but for some reason I got out of the comfort zone and had a great Espresso Martini. Thanks for the recommendation Dan. read more

Great bartenders, great for sports, solid food, good beer selection. Dog pictures all over the walls, an awesome neighborhood spot!

Talk about the Great American Neighborhood Bar. No fancy decor, just framed photos of the neighborhood dogs. We all know what man's best friend is, but the Spot Bar & Grill is a man's 2nd best friend. Solid food, good drinks, great service, and better company. read more

Came in on a freezing February night in Denver. Was looking for a place to warm up and we sure found it! Our bartender, Jacqui (not sure on the spelling sorry!) was the warm and welcoming host we so needed! She was so attentive and sweet. We live all the way in Arvada and just stumbled in but WE WILL BE BACK! Thanks Jacqui for being such a bright spot on a cold dark night! Can't speak to the food as we just had beverages but it smelled AWESOME! Go Eagles LOL! Really hope she reads this! read more

This review is approx 25 years in the making. The Spot sponsored my softball team when I moved to town in 2000 and has been a go-to ever since. I may have strayed from time to time, but I'm always welcomed back; there's no place in Denver friendlier to both regulars and visitors. Shout-out to Jacqui for making every person feel like her favorite customer. (I'll check back in with another 5-star review in 2050.) read more

I love this place! The food is really good, and it's dog themed so the vibe is great. Jackie is a SWEETHEART and an amazing bartender, always love to see her! read more

My friends and I used to come here weekly to grab a drink and watch the game, but we've had bad service from Jackie so many times that we are trying out new places in the neighborhood to switch to since she's always working the weekends lately. She seems distracted by people she knows and it takes forever to get a drink unless one of the other guys is working that day and covers for her. Last time we were there she was rude again and seemed out of it so SoBo 151 has been a much better choice lately to watch the game instead. read more

Jacque is incredibly bad at her job. we asked for tots, she gave us fries, we asked for tequila sprite, she gave us tequila soda (2 times). I've read the other reviews, and other people have also had bad experiences with her specifically. I'm shocked that nothing has been done. If you want good service from a bar, do not come to The Spot, you will be disappointed read more

Have been here more than a few times and always a great vibe, cheap drinks and delicious food. But today the TV above the entry way didn't have the NFL game on in any sort of watchable version. The staff tried their best to make it right but in the end "it is what it is." But when the game switched to a different TV, it played perfectly, but then when it hit time for the PM games, there was no option to watch the game that went into OT. Overall, I understand technical difficulties happen, but it was a poor experience for a fan to experience. read more

Came here for the second time during a football Sunday to watch the games and everything was phenomenal! Despite how busy they were, they always found time to take my orders. Beer and food is reasonably priced especially if you come during happy hour. Overall, the experience was great and look forward to coming again! read more

Spot Bar & Grill - Buffalo Wings & Juicy Drip Hazy IPA - Sports Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Best bar in Denver. Nice patio that is dog friendly. Wonderful food and very friendly staff

Honestly my fault for thinking this place was dog friendly, the dog photo was misleading. Any who some pals of mine and I hit this place up on Saturday. It was pretty packed inside as college football was going on but the outside tables were open. On to the outside tables, these tables are not serviced by staff. We were informed we needed to go inside to order ourselves and get our drinks. That was kinda a bummer seeing as they told us dogs weren't allowed in there but also they didn't service it . Insert confused face here. Regardless we got our burgers and this awesome chicken sandwich, which didn't disappoint! My two minus stars are for the misleading dog friendly spot and the not serviced but we still make the rules here outside spot. So In all if you wanna eat some good chicken sand which or burgers and are in the area (without your dog) check it out ! Gratuity is still requested even if they aren't doing the full service for you on the outside patio. read more

A nice neighborhood pub spot where the bartender (Dan) is friendly and lots of tvs for sporting events. i will go back. Good happy hour specials too. If you're looking for a neighborhood pub for a drink, this is your place. read more

Came in for a post work drink with a friend. It was her suggestion. We presented our IDs (we both look young but are over 21) and instantly something was off with the bartender when he viewed mine. He kept repeating my name as if it were fake. After I put it away, he asked to see it again, saying that my finger was blocking my photo and that he needed to verify it was actually me. I usually hold my ID by the side and did not know I was blocking the photo. I placed it flat on the bar so he could see it was indeed me in the photo. He realized that I was telling the truth and apologized, but it still left an awkward vibe on my experience. I understand verifying IDs, but felt like this could have possibly been handled better. read more

This is a fav local spot! Good beer selection, solid burger and tots, super friendly service every time I'm there, and yes... I def take over the jukebox! With the outside seating and closed in space, it's super easy to grab a table and hang out. read more

Stopped in for some quick appetizers and drinks before going out. Drinks were cheap, strong and good. For food we got the mozzarella coins, spot hash and the nachos. Spot hash was delicious and the mozzarella coins were great - and really unique, never seen that before. The nachos were soggy And came with guacamole on it even though we asked for it on the side and overall just not that great. read more

This review goes out to any/all the people that experienced the same bad service over and over hter that I did. I was sad because it was such a great neighborhood spot but the staff clearly did NOT give an "F". They "let everyone go"....the service has been amazing twice now...I think we are safe and this can now be a good place to go back to! The food is great...they bring you a menu when you sit down (unseats if before) and come back for refills, ask if you need anything...all with a smile. Thanks you to whoever made these needed changes! read more

The mozzarella coins were the bomb.com. Great beer options and a nice lil spot to bring a group not trying to go crazy or to pregame.

The last time I went this place was pretty empty (mid-week, during the day - so expected), but the guy at the bar didn't seem to really want to help too much. He wasn't rude, just not overly friendly. Ordered an item off of the daily special menu, was eventually charged full price (I guess since I didn't mention it was the special of the day?), and they brought it out to the patio with no utensils, napkins, ketchup, etc, so I had to go get them myself (somehow everyone was busy with 2 customers). However, the food was great, it's a great spot, and I like the feel of all the indoor and outdoor spaces. The BIGGEST downside for me is that it is a dog-themed bar, but no dogs allowed?? Even outside on the patio?? I would go so often if they allowed dogs, but since they don't I just walk a few more blocks to Broadway and get a cheap pitcher of beer with my dog someplace else :) read more

I wiled away a lovely Sunday afternoon here with some friends a bit ago so here are my tips for enjoying The Spot. 1. Sit on the patio, but don't sit on the walled sides. They're hotter. I think it's because the other sides get a cross breeze. 2. If you've been drinking the night before order a spicy Bloody Mary. It'll clear your head right up. And it has a nice spiciness to it. 3. Bring someone with you that is a regular. You'll be amazed at how much faster your service is. 4. Get a burger. Whether it's veggie or beef, the burgers here are quite tasty. 5. Take advantage of the people watching. It's a busy street corner. Enjoy! read more

This is a perfect neighborhood joint that breeds happiness. It's laid back bar that makes every guest feel at home. With a quaint patio that oversees the charming streets of West Wash Park, it's a perfect spot for enjoying an afternoon beer. We were greeted so warmly and immediately helped by the gregarious manager. The menu that exceeds the average inventory of 'bar food', i.e. breaded chicken strips and nachos, attributes to this spot's popularity, as well. The pulled pork is superb! Especially on the Hawaiian Burger! If you are one for some major kick, the Afterburn isn't just spicy, it hurts. Unless your willing to take it like a man and then cry like a baby on the way home, I'd advise sticking to their other delicious items. Though, I admire the creativity, it's just too spicy to enjoy for me. Good beer list, good food, good people; it's no wonder this is a popular Wash Park establishment read more

I have never considered myself a "regular" at a bar until I starter going to The Spot. I have had the awesome opportunity to live around the corner and I have never been disappointed by any of my visits. Megan, and the whole staff are amazing! If anyone asks for a recommendation I sent them to The Spot and I highly suggest you do the same. Cheers read more

We were really excited to try this place. Nobody should be made to feel ashamed for requesting reasonable accommodations if they have a medically diagnosed disability. We won't be back. read more

I love this little place! It's small with a long bar that runs the length of the building. I've been told they have great burgers but I haven't tried them myself. They have a handful of booths and high-top tables as well as a decent sized patio that can be open air when it's warm out otherwise has tarp walls for when it's colder. What stands out to me is the service. Troy was the bartender both times I was there. He was friendly, speedy, and knowledgable. I went once, liked him, then went back a few days later and he remember both my date and my drink orders! Well done, sir! Also, I ordered a Stout on Nitro and he made a clover in the foam (see pic). Cool! read more

Spot Bar & Grill - Nitro! - Sports Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Extremely rude service. Ordered chips and queso as an appetizer and there was hair in the queso.. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with tater tots and it was yummy but my sister ordered the crispy chicken wrap and the cook made it "wrong" so he had to "re make" it but when it came out, yet again a hair in her wrap.. we also ordered a quesadilla and the server forgot to put it in so it took an extra 30 minutes to come out.. we were here for 2 hours. Waste of money. Terrible service. MID food. And THEN top it all off they tried to get over on us on the bill and make us pay for everything that had hair/ was suppose to be comped. read more

Meagan is the best! She knows all the locals, what you drink and what you like to eat. Meagan keeps the drinks full and everyone happy. I enjoy the food here but the company is even better! read more

I think I've found a new hangout. Came here last Friday night with my friend, just in time for late night happy hour. Good drink prices, even better service and to top it off, a few blocks from my house! Haven't tried the food yet, but I'm sure I will next time. read more

This place sucks now. The manager / bartender Blake is one of the least friendly people in the business, acts like doing his job is a huge inconvenience / has a horrible attitude / has zero sense of basic customer service. Takes several twenty-minute smoke breaks a shift and leaves the other servers on their own. His general demeanor kills the entire vibe of what used to be a really cool bar. Luckily there are plenty of other great options nearby. read more

I went here the other day to get food/drinks and the bartender was rude and not very friendly. I would recommend going to a different if you want good service. read more

Nice little find to watch Rockies wild card game. Celebrating my oldest son's bday. Great Hash. Service was attentive disputes crowd. Nice little patio. Perfect night to enjoy Colorado night and watch baseball. read more

Absolutely awful. I am a server and so I can tell you when someone's busy and someone's just being rude. The server didn't want to serve us, they treated us like we weren't good enough to be there when we walked through the door, we were just coming back from pride, and we're wearing clothing to match, and they didn't care for our presence. I definitely felt discriminated against. I would never come back here again and I hope they learn to love people instead of judge them from the moment they are them. We were at 6top which is at least over a $100 tab, $20 tip at least, which the server could probably gained more off of considering how it miserably slow it was. read more

I went in for a couple drinks and was glad to find nachos in the neighborhood. Then the nachos came and they were seriously disappointing. It was clear I'd gotten the bottom of the bag of chips. It was a bowl of small broken chip slivers covered in luke warm nacho cheese. Not much flavor and all ingredients tasted old. Won't be back for food read more

Quintessential neighborhood bar. One of my favorite aspects is the hundreds of pictures of dogs covering the walls! The front opens up in the summer for a dog-friendly patio. Good bar food, great beer selection and friendly bartenders. read more

This is a great place to come and visit. The $5 classic burger is a great deal. It is always cooked to perfection. With Swiss or provolone that burger always hits the spot. Sub in the onion rings for the fries and you will be in heaven! The atmosphere is a great spot..did I mention that when the sun is out you can enjoy a great burger and beer at the patio? Like I said this is always a great spot for anyone. However, the reason for my 2-star review comes down to the service. Sarah, our waitress, was simply horrendous. I've been here multiple times, got a few friends of mine to enjoy the spot. But Sarah has not been at all helpful. I'm not expecting ha d and foot service, but I do expect some level or courtesy by the wait staff. Asking how the food was, following thru getting items asked for. I asked for ketchup and was either ignored or forgotten as I had to ask other customers to use the ketchup on their table. This is the second time that I've received such service but first time posting a negative review. Great place to go but don't sit where Sarah will serve you...you'll go hungry. read more

What I like about this bar: -Nestled into a neighborhood -Great beer selection -Covered patio -The awesome touchy server/bartender What I dislike about this bar: -Unpredictable service. Sometimes the servers are right on top of everything and other times you have to physically search them out before you get a drink. None of this seems to be related to how busy the place is. -The "gurgles" I get after every time I eat here. They usually lead to even less pleasant events. -The fact that there is always a large table full of people that are absolutely obliterated (or just naturally loud and annoying). This aspect wouldn't be as bad if the Spot wasn't a very small bar, so their drunken braying is heard both inside and out. I will go to this bar if friend's suggest it, but if it's up to me, I try and avoid this place because it's just not that great and it's a pain in the rear to get to it from where I live. read more

Are you kidding me? The Spot is THE BEST. Even if you do not live in West Wash Park neighborhood, this place is a true neighborhood bar. The bartenders are great, and remembers each regular and what your drink of choice. Let's be honest, how many joints in a popular neighborhood like W. West Park can do that? It's great in the summer and the winter. Bring your dog, chill on the patio, eat bar food and relax with an assortment of micros on tap (5 Barrel from Odell's - English Pale Ale) is delicioso, I believe it's out of their clean tap line. (don't ask how I know about clean tap lines - no, i do not work there either) The spot is THEE SPOT to chill and hang out. read more

The Spot is only a few blocks from my house and yet I don't go there nearly as often as I should. Everytime I do enter those doors I wonder why I don't go more. To say the waitstaff is friendly is certainly not doing them justice. Yes, they are friendly, but in a way that makes you feel like they are sincerely happy for you to be sitting at their bar. They are attentive, but not to the point of intrusion. The food is solid. It's basic and not pretensious, but oh so, so good. We've had a number of items on the menu and they are all delish. The beer selection is good but not overwhelming. The Spot is what you want in your neighborhood bar. I will definitely be going here for a pint more often. read more
