Great new space...great atmosphere for kids and a good bar area for the adults. Food was OK to not so OK. The beef stew and steak wrap in our party were missing a main ingredient which was beef! For the price we expected more real food. Kids menu could use some help but not a big deal. We will be back but maybe not to eat! read more

Wonderful place to watch a Liverpool match! Good coffee for the early mornings, great pub food, good service even when the place is packed. They've followed all the shifting safety protocols throughout the pandemic, and it's great to see a more crowded house of fans now. read more

I contemplated giving this establishment four stars but had some reservations. I'll go over the positives first and then hit on the negatives later. The food has always been good. There is a diverse menu and it has always been eloquently presented. Whether you order a meal or an appetizer you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere is excellent, very clean establishment including the bathrooms. There's an outdoor patio, non-smoking for those cooler for summer afternoons. The architecture is somewhat dark but The archways have garage doors that open up the entire bar. It's a really nice vibe. Now for the bad, all of the food is good but is a little high-priced for my liking. I would recommend going there during happy hour. It is cheaper to have a couple half-price appetizers. The cocktails and drinks are also overpriced. It is very easy to go in there with a friend and spend $100 in an hour or two. This might be OK in a fine dining establishment but not in a place like this. My only other complaint is the tables. We like to sit at the nice roomie booths but the tables are always so sticky. It's as if waitstaff don't know how to sanitize an eating area anymore. The last time we were there I had to use both my hands to pick up my drink as it was stuck to the table. Gross! The only reason we still go there is because my girlfriend is one of the nicest people I know and seems to be able to overlook the negatives. Overall, go give it a try and see what you think. read more

It's a great Irish Pub two blocks from my house so I don't have to drive there. The food is good and the server are great, there TV to watch sports. read more

We stopped in here randomly during late lunch hours on a Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere was low-key and most of the people sitting around the bar area seemed to be young professionals and couples. The booths and tables appeared to be full of families with kids. Service wasn't incredibly fast, nor was it slow. The draft beer selection was fantastic, and the specials were good too. I ordered an avocado chicken sandwich that was great because it was very simple and not overloaded with tons of unhealthy, greasy extras. The patio will probably be pretty awesome when warmer weather rolls around. There's some parking, but if it gains in popularity, street parking may be more realistic. I liked the overall vibe, and as a nearby resident will be returning. That said, I'm hoping they limit hours when kids are allowed there to avoid any potential confrontations between the younger crowd and parents. read more

Tried the Irish nachos, pork sliders, and Cano salmon potato cakes- all really delicious! The salmon was a great subtle taste, pork sliders were spicy and flavorful. A gem to find! Busy but not crazy, good decor. Bartender Allison is fantastic, very personable and efficient. Good mix of tables, booths, and bar top. Owner Glen is from Dublin and truly genuine. Only wish is that happy hour was a little more competitive with some special on Guinness. Still, a must visit! read more

Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, beer was good and there was an ok selection but our food was meh. I'm sure we'll go back because it's an easy walk from the house but I have serious doubts I'll ever crave the food. Normally I'm pretty confident in my review, whether it's good or bad, but the food was just not memorable. Again, good service though! read more

Our local favorite! Great bar atmosphere, good food, excellent staff. Excited to have an Irish Pub in our neighbor. We eat at the Abbey for brunch on the weekends regularly. Kid friendly. read more

Fantastic staff, service, and a great Guinness pour. Loved the cozy feel of this place and I'll be back to check out the patio when the weather allows. read more

We stopped by for a cold beer on the patio after going to the Botanic Gardens. We were able to social distance outside, and the woman who served us was so nice and personable. The draft beers came out good & cold to our liking, and we're definitely coming back for lunch some day since the food looked awesome! read more

Pretty good dinner here. I had the fish and chips. Batter on the fish was excellent although the fish tasted slightly overcooked. It was just a tad dry but still very good. I would still order it again. The fries were good as well. Nice casual atmosphere with good service. read more

Good bar food. Service usually solid. A few bad moments but this place is as consistent as you can get day to day. Affordable......nice outdoor patio. Ice cream store next door doesn't hurt to hit up after. I like Irish pups being from NYC and this place does a nice job. Check it out. read more

Great place, great atmosphere, great service, great food. Plus their drink selection is very varied. Liverpool FC fans, this is the place for you! I got back often! read more

The bread pudding is dynamite. The service was slow, but the most hospitable I have ever had. Upon finding out that their gluten free fries do NOT have a dedicated fryer (so i couldn't share with my friend) the offered to comp them. Upon realizing that they were out of boxty batter they offered free drinks. I didn't except either, but will be returning to try the boxty. My friend got the corned beef and said it was delicious. read more

Fun, neighborhood spot with an English pub vibe. Great patio area, good brews and snacks to go along with it. We ordered the pretzel bites, Brussels sprouts as appetizers. Had a burger for dinner. Foods good. They have a fair choice of beers on tap, most choices are English styles. Server was friendly, attentive and on time. Overall this is a good place for a beer and snack. read more

After specifically changing travel plans to be able to stay longer to watch the Liverpool game here I felt incredibly let down. Having just turned 21 I was hoping to buy a pint. Instead I was told my license wasn't valid. Both our waitress and the owner argued with us without truly listening to us. From then on our service was terrible. 20 minutes after ordering we were told the kitchen was only making brunch items. After another 20 minutes we were able to reorder. Our waitress didn't give us the opportunity to order drinks and had to be called back to do so. When drinks arrived they were smashed down onto our table. Food finally arrived just before the end of halftime despite us having arrived before the start of the game. For most of us the food was decent but that may have been because we were so hungry by then. One of us ordered a waffle that turned out less than desirable. The first time the underside was burnt black. The second time it was wet and soggy. We were given plastic silverware to eat with. I understand being busy but this service was extremely awful and inexcusable by the business. I regret staying in town for this. read more

The Abbey Tavern - Burnt waffle anyone? - Irish Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We love it! We live in Park Hill and go here all the time! We can walk there. We can bring the kids; and when we have a sitter, we go by ourselves and have a great time. The food is some of the best bar-food around and the drinks are fabulous. My husband is a Liverpool fan, and goes down there for almost every game and I just love the ambiance. We pair up with some neighbors and go down for a great time. Perfect neighborhood bar! read more

Food was surprisingly excellent. Vibe was great. Bathrooms and main area a little stinky.

What a hidden little treat! I had the Reuben and was surprised with the coleslaw instead of sauerkraut, but it was a very pleasant surprise. We also tried the macaroni and cheese rolls. When they were brought out to the table they weren't what I was expecting (I'm horrible about reading the descriptions on menus), but delicious none the less. The bartender seem to be working the tables and the bar and there were several people in the establishment. I must commend him because it did not hinder his ability to provide great service. Reminds me of my favorite place back home. read more

Awesome shepherd's pie! Cannot go wrong! I have had them all over the place and in multiple countries... This is the top! read more

The Abbey Tavern - Best shepherd's pie ever! - Irish Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I'm hoping their food isn't going downhill, but I guess that would be in line with where our country is headed post election. Anyway, I ordered the corned beef and cabbage meal, and in retrospect I should have sent it back to the kitchen. The corned beef was shredded and very fatty. The potatoes and cabbage were undercooked. I was hungry so I just tried to eat it, but it was pretty bad. I'm not sure how that meal could get so badly butchered, but maybe the cook wasn't on his game? I'll probably be back because they do have a good happy hour and other food I've had here was better, but I'd suggest staying away from this meal. read more

I visited The Abbey Tavern on a recent trip to Denver. What a fun, lively, and gastronomic adventure! I ordered the Fish and Chips dinner and was amazed with the generous portion of both items - but more importantly, it was delicious! Tasted my friend's Sheppard's Pie - another hit! Beer poured perfectly. Wow! A perfect evening! I'll certainly be back when I return to Denver! read more

It is nice bar. They have great deals on happy hour. Food is good and beer is cheap :) Only weird thing was that people brought a lot of kids to bar. read more

My wife and I came here on a friday evening for dinner and a beer. The interior layout is an open plan, with large tables similar to a European style tavern. Everything is new and nice, so don't come here expecting privacy for a relaxing dinner and beer. We shared a large table with another group of people. That's fine, not the end of the world. Being an Irish restaurant, we of course had to order the Fish & Chips and the Shepard's Pie and shared both of them. I love eating fish and chips, and have ordered it all over town. This was the most laughable order of fish I've ever seen for $11. Two wimpy pieces of fried fish, a small handful of soggy fries, and 2 spoonfuls of coleslaw. I seriously sat there and laughed for about 3 minutes wondering if the rest of my order was going to show up. It didn't. I ate it, and ended up going home and raiding my refrigerator to fill my friday night stomach. The Shepard's Pie was ok at best. After several shakes from the salt shaker, I finally found some flavor. Nothing special. I had high hopes for this place, and was disappointed. It wasn't awful, but nothing special either....but do have high expectations for good Shepard's Pie and Fish and Chips from an Irish restaurant, and my expectations were not met With that said, there is another Irish pub on this side of town I will go to instead when I have my Irish cravings. But if I'm looking for a beer and a cool place to enjoy it, then I might return read more

Bar? More like nursery.. We come here frequently after work and almost always run into some regulatory disclaimer by the staff. This evening for example, our staff was celebrating a promotion/ the loss of a staff member. After two rounds of shots we were put on notice that we are under watch from management for our intake. If u are looking for a babysitter, this is the place for you.. Food is good (hence the second star) read more

The husband & I went with some friends that have been here a few times. It did not disappoint. Classic Irish pub feel and great food & drinks. The service was great, enjoyed our meal on the large and comfortable patio. One friend took advantage of their 'make your own bloody mary' bar. Very impressed with all the fixings. The food was incredible, no one had a bad meal. I highly recommend The Abbey Tavern. read more

I'm a Park Hill local so was happy to have a new restaurant open in the neighborhood. The ambience was nice and welcoming. Good. Happy Hour options. Wait staff kind and courteous. Food was average. Will definitely go back but most likely for drinks and appetizers. read more

The Abbey has a great neighborhood vibe. The food is always above average. Friendly service, although sometimes this can be hit or miss.

Wonderful local spot. We had the blacked cod Poboy and fish and chips, which came out just like it did every time I ordered it across the pond. Everything was delicious. Super friendly and attentive staff. read more

Came here on the star rating and the fact that is was allegedly a sports bar. Well, there are just 6 TVs and three of those are tiny at the bar so very hard to see. Service was incredibly slow and the food was just average. Skip this joint. Not great. read more

Nice outdoor seating area. Music wasn't working outside though... they have a good variety of special cocktails. Fair prices. My biggest disappointment was this was our 2nd time there and they seem short staffed. They are nice but wait time was a bit long.. read more

The Abbey Tavern - Irish Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I really like the Abbey, great service, usually great food, fun atmosphere. Tonight we had the shepard pie and a corned beef rueben. The shepard pie was wonderful. The rueben, not so good. Too much wet cole slaw and not enough good corned beef. The meat was tasty, the stringy fat sections not so good. Not just a little but way too much unchewable fat. If you are going to charge $11 for a rueben it should be better. I will be back, I have eaten their a half dozen times and had beers there quite a few more. Everyone has a mediocre once in a while. The Abbey is a winner. read more

I find the people complaining about kids in an Irish Tavern hilarious. They've, evidently, never been to Ireland. read more

My first review -ever of any food establishment. seriously! I read all the reviews here and even the 2 not recommended. I live close - very very close (next door in fact). I decided to try some of the food - I'm not a drinker - so I ordered a reuben sandwich, to go, remember i live right next door. I strongly recommend their "chef" learns the correct way to cut corned beef. You DO NOT cut it with the grain of the meat, you cut across the grain. this makes the meat a lot less tough to eat! The "home-made thousand Island dressing used was way too watery and where the hell is the saurkraut? This the first time I've ever had a reuben sandwich without that very vital ingredient to the flavor! ! Had to throw half of it away - too tough to eat! I guess you could say i am remarkably unimpressed with this addition to my neighborhood. Glad i didn't try the Sheperds pie. I got no problem with kids, possibly the only redeeming factor to this place! read more

We were excited to have a tavern in the neighborhood and went in as soon as we heard it was open. It's a nice space with a decent beer selection and dinner and brunch menus. We went in around 8 on Friday night and were completely unprepared for how many children were in the place. There were young kids at Every. Single. Table. We waited for a family to leave and grabbed a table to order some food. The menu has typical Irish pub food which was up to snuff, as was the service. It has potential, but I don't want to unwind on a Friday night surrounded by sippy cups and crayons, so I guess I'll wait and see if this is going to be the norm here. read more

$4 jamo shots all mo.!!! What's not to love, it's super cozy! As far as children in the bar it's not the owners fault nor the bartenders if people come in and bring their brats and then don't tend to them.... Come on folks! Reviews should be about service and product not the lack of parenting skills by guests read more

Absolutely phenomenal place to stop! Best Bloody Mary ever...ask for it with the house pickled vodka. Shared the Shepard's Pie and Steak & Fries, both were incredible! Great atmosphere, service and the whole package. Outdoor seating as well :) read more

Came here for the first time last night. I like the look and feel inside, the bar has plenty of seats, the happy hour is pretty reasonable and even last till seven. Also, the beer list is pretty good. But this place leaves much to be desired if it's to be called a tavern, rather than a bar. Went there last night and started with the Irish Nachos. They are delicious, but they were cold. Later, I ordered the Chicken Avocado sandwich. Upon inspection there were just a few paper thin slices of avocado. By this time the food had been dropped off and no one seemed to care if we needed anything or not. I ended up carrying my plate over to a waitress and asked her if she thought this amount of avocado warrants it being called an avocado chicken sandwich. She took it in the back, came back out with more on top, and said the cook did put a quarter of an avocado on the sandwich in the first place. My point here is that a quarter of an avocado is not sufficient when your sandwich is on a baguette. It wasn't noticeable at all when taking a bite. Also, the chicken seemed pretty low quality and bland, leaving the sandwich overall pretty bland itself. Had to flag down the waitress later to get some mustard to put on my, now cold, sandwich. tl;dr - Good bar for a happy hour, good beer list, but low quality food at a high price and questionable service (though it was pretty busy for a Monday night, so the service could be better then what I experienced). read more

Super friendly staff but so so drink selection. Nothing wow about this place.

Overpriced. 3 well cocktails with tax and tip: $18. I didn't have enough money to spare and order some of their classic English and American fare. read more
