Nice atmosphere, good drinks, OK bar food. I like this place and my friend Jim used to go there with me.

My favorite place to eat. I'm 12 hours away and always make sure to stop by when I'm in town :)

My sister lives in Arvada. So yea,,, Arvada Tavern it is. Specially since our friend finally arrived at the airport. He was hungry and also in need of some alcobeverage. The food here was pretty good. * Rocky Mountain Oysters: When in Denver,, why not. These guys are pretty good. I'd order these again. * Devilled Eggs: Who doesn't like these?? Cause these guys are awesome. * Pierogi: Nice and crunchy with potato filling. Perfect for cutting the taste of strong liqour. The setting is really nice. Rustic chic style that I love so much. The cocktails need a little polish. The food is decent. Service was on point as well. This was all pre Covid, and I totally enjoyed their customer service. Definitely above and beyondish. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day! read more

The Arvada Tavern - I got the salmon with a lemon sauce, broccoli and subbed roasted potatoes for mashed at the recommendation of our waitress! - Lounges Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

A neighborhood staple for us in Arvada! Their food is consistently good, reasonably priced, and every time we go we leave with a new favorite cocktail! They have a tiki bar "speakeasy" upstairs with more drinks but their classic cocktails at the restaurant are all amazing. I also love their mocktails on the menu. Pierogis are great, and so is their Mac and cheese. We have also had their friend chicken sandwich, and it's so good every time. One of the best places in old town Arvada. read more

Great service, atmosphere, and the food/drinks were great. Easily the best French dip I've ever had read more

Probably more of a 3.5 star, but I'll round it up since our server was super kind. I loved how attentive she was and how she genuinely cared if we enjoyed our experience there. The atmosphere is quite intimate and the although I didn't get any drinks here, my boyfriend enjoyed it quite a bit. The food was just okay. They tasted fine, but it didn't wow me enough to want to come back for the food in the future. It was pretty forgettable flavor wise. The service and atmosphere was cool though. read more

I will never, ever come back. It was by far my worst experience on my first trip to Colorado. The Rocky Mountain Oysters were pitifully tiny. So tiny that I have never seen smaller freshwater oysters. These oysters were the size of fried pickles and there were only eight per order. The Arvada Tavern is engaging in highly deceptive business practices by not warning consumers their oysters are far smaller than other establishments, yet charging $13 per order, the same as a half order at another restaurant I visited, and the Arvada Tavern's full order is one-third the size of the other location's half order. If the Arvada Tavern will not reduce the prize for its tiny oysters, nor serve larger oysters, they should be banned from serving the item, period. I got ripped off and ripped off good. I will never forgive the Arvada Tavern for that. Embarrassing. read more

The Arvada Tavern - You call these Rocky Mountain Oysters? I want to cry. Or vomit. - Lounges Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Still great during COVID-19. The Arvada Tavern quickly adapted and started offering delicious cocktails to go! Then added food to their menu. The giant pretzel with cheese sauce was delicious as was the conch of dagda tiki Tuesday cocktail and the Nobody Speak cocktail, a bourbon forward cocktail. Cocktails even come with the appropriate ice (large cube for Nobody Speak, crushed pebble ice for tiki Tuesday cocktail). I like that they have unique hard to find ingredients in their cocktails. Order online at https://arvadatavern.com. Pick up was easy and everyone had masks and gloves. read more

Out of all the restaurants in downtown Arvada, my husband and I chose to have dinner at the Arvada Tavern and we are so happy we did. It is the perfect spot for a delicious, fresh meal, drinks and dessert with exceptional customer service (thank you, hostess and Dre!!) and great ambience. We thoroughly enjoyed the crusted salmon, rib eye steak, crafted spirits, and peanut butter mouse pie...delicious! Exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend. Dre, you are a fabulous server and made our experience that more enjoyable! read more

Food was phenomenal. Best rocky mountain oysters i've ever had. Ambiance was a gorgeous speakeasy type. After eating dinner, ask to go to the hidden tiki lounge. There are literally award winning cocktails on the menu. Like what. I enjoyed my time and forgot that I was in a restaurant. Definitely check it out. :) read more

Awesome food, cocktails and service! One of the top restaurants in Olde Town Arvada. Highly recommend!

Great cocktail bar with a sneaky and fun Tiki bar upstairs on the weekends.. charming place with very great and knowledgeable bartenders. Had Manhattans had old fashions all of which were excellent. The guy next to me at a burger and it looked fantastic but we were just in for drinks and an appetite. The wings were very large. The Rocky mountain oysters were prepared perfectly. The artichoke dip was creamy and rich with some crunchy chips. If I'm ever back downtown Arvada I'll go to this place again. read more

Please first understand why I am putting a low review. I had bought a vegi burger for $26 and it came with fries. This burger was way overpriced but I was very hungry and wanted to celebrate with friends. Then I got the burger and was so sadly disappointed I should have returned it to get my money back. It tasted like if Burger King tried to make a vegi burger and then they copied McDonald's fries. I don't trust their food, but their drinks were phenomenal. We sat in a cozy little corner and enjoyed the soft music. If I ever go back I will be telling the manager about the food. read more

First time visiting the Arvada Tavern and we loved it! Tasty craft cocktails (try the French 75) and appetizers as well. The pretzel is definitely made from scratch and delicious. Burrata, pierogies and the charcuterie board do not disappoint. I love the speakeasy vibe. Our server was wonderful also! We can't wait to come back for happy hour! read more

The Arvada Tavern - Mai Tai, French 75 and an Old Fashioned - Lounges Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Expensive and very Salty burger (get a double double down the St.) French fries were ok and came out of a freezer bag, maybe Kroger shoestrings. Small pricy beer. Service was good. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Maybe the beer was 12 oz but I think it was more like 10 with a tiny glass. I would have just left if I was not meeting a friend. If you like salt and small pricy beer you will love this place! read more

Really great atmosphere. Intimate but not stuffy, and beautifully cozy inside. Our table was right by the kitchen window and was kind of cool to see the action. Our group of 3 got very different dishes and each were delicious. We were there on a snowy night, which just added to the overall vibe! read more

The meatloaf was INCREDIBLE, and highly would recommend it, definitely ask for a little extra gravy if they can do that. We also loved the PIEROGIS! Then the Kona Waterfall to wash it all down read more

Came for a later-night meal with our friends and loved the ambiance. Dark, older, classic. 3 of us ordered the burger and all loved it. Nice beer and whiskey selection. read more

This review is mainly for the drinks only since I haven't really eaten here. I usually only come here at night with my bf to grab drinks. It's one of our favorite date spots. Nothing really special about the inside. It's mostly dark and each table has a candle. It's not too loud inside so you can actually hear you conversations. My go to drink is their LAVENDER GREYHOUND. It's a bit sweet and easy to drink. The drink itself doesn't have a super strong lavender taste. It's mostly citrus-y. I think most of the lavender flavor is in their sugar lavender rim around the cup. If you're a fan of Old Fashions, their true Old fashion is really good and simple (according to my bf). Their signature OLDE TOWN FASHIONED on their menu is on the sweeter side with the cherry and orange. It's still good, but just depends what you prefer. read more

Celebrated Christmas here with a gf I haven't seen for awhile. Our dinner was absolutely delicious. I got a lot of pictures except for dinner because we both were so hungry. lol. We started off at the bar, while waiting for our table, and enjoyed a drink and chatted away. Finally got our table and started off with an appetizer, artichoke dip. The wait did not take long for all of food. The artichoke dip was delicious and we pretty much cleaned it out. My gf wanted a hamburger so we ended up splitting a hamburger and fries. It was cooked perfectly as well as perfectly satisfying. Not too full and we were able to share the delicious vanilla lava cake. Our dinner couldn't have tasted anymore fabulous. We were definitely hungry, but food was also cooked deliciously. Second time here and food did not disappoint. This place makes for a romantic date with their low lightings. You can dress casually or dress up. We were in between. Lol Great night for sure. read more

We made it to the actual Tavern (night before we were upstairs in their Tiki Bar) and loved it! It is super cute and quaint inside in a prohibition kind of way. We were seated right away as a party of 2 around 730p on a Wed night. Service was on point and friendly. The food and drinks are very good. We will be back! read more

The atmosphere and mood of this tavern are classic and absolutely fantastic! The cocktails are also really good. The servers are knowledgeable and courteous. However, there was one issue for me. I'm not sure if the toilet ventilation was malfunctioning, but there was a noticeable smell coming from the toilets towards the back of the tavern. Please have the ventilation be checked! read more

The ambience is awesome. But there's no healthy options on the menu. You would think people are eating a little healthier they would adjust to the times. So sad Because the place is so convenient and charming and the people that work there are So nice read more

I am a little unsure why this place is so popular. We speculated that it is because of the drinks and since we did not order any, perhaps we missed out on the highlights of the Arvada Tavern. We came primarily because we were tourists in search of rocky mountain oysters. However, looking at the menu, the rocky mountain oysters were the only thing that looked appealing. They had a decent sized list of apps but only three entrees. We were all a little hesitant to order because of those three options, nothing sounded too good. We settled on ordering a bunch of appetizers instead. Our waitress proclaimed that they had the best rocky mountain oysters in town, and we all looked at each other with the same thought: "she better be right because this place really does not have much else." The oysters were good, though extremely salty. We reasoned that the over seasoning must hide some less appealing flavor, hence making these the best in town. But all else aside, it was enjoyable and came with a selection of three different sauces (cocktail, cheese, and mustard), all of which were good. We also ordered the pretzel, brussels sprouts, and wings. The pretzel was more like a loaf of bread and while it was good, it should not be classified as a pretzel. The cheesy sauce it was served with was very yummy. The brussels sprouts were solid: well cooked and about what was expected. The wings were unfortunately highly disappointing. They were probably one of the worst I have had. The flavor was severely lacking and it could have been cooked better. I would suggest staying away from this item. This was a great place to try rocky mountain oysters and in that regard we were satisfied with our experience. Unfortunately, due to the lack of entrees and mediocre apps, we had to stop of McDonald's on the way home to finish off our dinner. If I ever came back here it would probably be to check out their cocktail scene and nothing else. read more

I'd heard about the cocktails in this place for a while and had been wanting to check it out. With some friends in town wanting to go out somewhere fun, I finally had a reason to visit The Arvada Tavern. We were not disappointed. For a Wednesday night the place was pretty busy. We ended up sitting at the bar and were treated to some truly memorable cocktails. Special thanks to Brian, who was our bartender. We noticed one of the house cocktails had "peated whiskey" in it. Sometimes I hesitate to ask a bartender what an ingredient is because it's not fun to see someone roll their eyes at you, but Brian was approachable enough that we felt comfortable asking him. Thanks for that! It seems like the reputation of the Arvada Tavern is well deserved. This place is definitely going on my list. I should say that I can't comment on the food, as we were only in there for drinks. Next time we'll do dinner. read more

Good neighborhood bar. Good affordable prices. Good food. Good place to catch a sports event, karaoke and more. Friendly staff.

Arvada tavern's cocktails are great. If you don't know what you want the bartenders can suggest great drinks for you. The food is actually really good, HOWEVER the biggest drawback to Arvada Tavern is that the menu hasn't changed significantly in years. We are always in old town, and would love to come here more, but once you've had everything on the menu a few times it's hard to keep coming back. The service is wonderful and always stellar. The ambiance is also a plus. Great setting and a very pleasant experience for a nighttime drink. read more
