We arrived here before our Haunted Tour to grab a few drinks. Service was fast and friendly. Our waitress was super nice. I ordered chicken tenders and tots, they were pretty good for bar food. The ambiance is pretty good in here too. It was quiet and nice. read more

As someone who has been working with goats for quite a few years now this made our Denver trip list strictly due to name. How could we pass up a pub/bar that has goat in the name...? Well we couldn't and after exploring the botanical gardens and grabbing a beer at a brewery this was our chosen spot to grab a bite to eat! We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly, we did not have a drink so cannot speak to that. Food wise after quite a few days we both felt like being a little on the healthy side. We both decided on a chicken Cesar wrap, only difference is I grabbed fries and my wife had onion rings. In the end we agreed that fries were superior! Honestly the best fries of our trip so far! So crisp thanks to the breading used, that gave the perfect crunch. Onion rings were decent and the wraps were tasty. The vibe is dive bar/sports bar that I assume is a great spot for locals who live nearby. As the name implies they do have a decent amount of decor that is goat related. Two other patrons came in looking to watch a soccer game and the bartender made sure it was on for them. Like I said we cannot speak to the actual bar experience since we skipped on drinks but in our experience it was the perfect stop. May be a little bias in liking and appreciating the name. read more

After a really unfriendly service experience (and spending $200+), I asked if we could drop off signs for anyone who may be heading to the protest at the capitol after eating. Manager all but eye rolled at me, said, "we don't do politics", turned his back, and walked away. Look, I understand everyone has different opinions, but let's meet each other with respect. Everyone is entitled to express their own beliefs, but the air of privilege on this man was truly disheartening. He could have said something to the effect of, I respect the gesture, but I have to say no. Thanks for understanding. There are simply better ways to say the same thing, but with respect for each other. Beyond the poor service & experience itself, the food was meh and espresso martini was salty. Like they sprinkled copious amounts of salt on top (server confirmed she did so). All in all, I understand why they were empty while everything around was super busy. read more

The food is okay, it's bar food so you get what you pay for. The staff is always chill and welcoming. They have darts and pool, which provides the laid back dive bar vibe. I've never spent over $30 on food & drinks before tip. Great prices. read more

Cool dive bar with lots of tvs and seating options. Some happy hour specials and a good food menu: best Tetris shaped tater tots in town!! Burger did seem a little expensive for a dive bar but otherwise a great spot to watch a game- even have a rooftop patio ! read more

The place is filthy inside i cant imagine how it passed a health inspection. The smell of sewage emanating from the restrooms was overwhelming. The staff smelled like ashtrays and didnt seem to be sober. I would not recommend. read more

I would say everything about this experience was adequate, but nothing exceptional. When we walked in, there were no signs that said "seat yourself" so we awkwardly stood at the entrance for a moment until we ultimately decided to pick a table and sit since we weren't greeted. The pub was dead. And there was one bartender/server. It took a while before our order got taken. She wasn't very friendly at all and would interrupt my friend when asking questions about the menu and what came with the entree. Her attitude came off as rude and it felt like we were bothering her. I thought maybe she was having a bad day since she was the only one working, but at some point I overheard her talking awfully nice to some other customer at the bar, and wondered what it was about us that prompted a less than desirable experience. Anyway, I really enjoyed the food and Mexican mules. I had half a buffalo chicken wrap and saved the last half for leftovers. Unfortunately, in the last half I had saved there was maybe one piece of chicken. Disappointing. Happy to have tried this place out, but most likely won't be coming back. read more

Great place. Nice dark bar to belly up to. My friend and I came here for lunch before an art show down the street. My friend Ann will always get breakfast ~ me? Lunch. She had the eggs and hash.

I really enjoyed The Fainting Goat! Ryan did not get to join me for this one but I will definitely be coming back and bringing him with me. I met up with 2 old friends from my home town in Upstate New York. The 3 of us are all picky about our chicken wings and we were very impressed with these. A nice crisp plenty of sauces and lots of flavors to choose from! We also got a couple cocktails. I got a gin drink and my friend John got a coffee drink. The service here was excellent- fast and friendly and answered a lot of my questions and very patient with us. We kept chatting and stayed for a while. I'm always happy to be somewhere I don't feel rushed out of. I got some good to go including some wings to bring home to Ryan which he very much enjoyed that night for dinner. This is a chill pub vibe and they do have a roof top when it's not 0 degrees outside lol. I can't wait to come back soon and try some different flavored wings and there other items on the menu! read more

A bar that has drinks and food? That's all I need. Fainting goat has a great rooftop for Sunny days, the bartenders are always chill, and it has great vibes for watching sports. My only feedback is sometimes the food is inconsistent (such as the crazy salty pickle chips we or salty buffalo chicken wrap). But I've been okay with it enough to go back every time. They also have weekly specials (e.g, tacos, drafts, etc.) read more

This place has quickly become a favorite. It is a neighborhood pub that also serves an extensive food menu. All in all, the drinks are decent and the food is pretty good. Vibes are chill and no frills. Can't think of anything else you'd want more. read more

I went here for a quick lunch with a work colleague. Visually, it gives the impression of a dive bar (in a good way). The surprising part was the food was very good. I had the avocado wrap and it was quite tasty! My colleague enjoyed her lunch. Our server was also quite friendly and attentive. read more

Came here a few times before always loved it, but the bartender Marco tonight definitely showed a bit favoritism. I've definitely gotten better service from every other bartender in the past. Other then that it was a good environment, great DJ for karaoke. $1 wings on Wednesdays is a score. read more

The Fainting Goat - Monaco the bartender plays favorites..... - Pubs Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This bar might not look like much on the outside but it's nicer once you're inside. It's a multi-storey yet cozy sports bar that have enough TVs for whatever you'd like to watch. We stopped by for a couple drinks and the staff were happy to serve us. It happened to be happy hour and the prices weren't bad. For about $50 we had 4 beers, 2 shots and 3 plates of shareable food. My partner absolutely loved the chicken wings plus they gave us a huge amount of sauce. The plate of tater tots was both tasty and enormous. Probably too enormous. There's no way we could finish eating that entire plate between the two of us. We also had meatballs which were delicious. Looks delicious just looking at it too. See photos. I wish the outside door looked more appealing as we weren't sure what we were walking into at first. Besides from that, it was a delightful and I'd be happy to come back. read more

This place is fire!, great staff and really good food on the cheap. If you want a Guinness this is the place to get the proper pour.

This place is shite. Nothing about it is an Irish Pub. It should be illegal to call it that. Not friendly, bad food, bright lights. This place has horrific acoustics. The speakers are obnoxiously loud. The server was incompetent and not friendly. Got to be at least one of those. Competent or friendly, ideally both. They charge 5.00 for a side of onion rings with your sandwich or burger and they came out stone cold. French dip had no sauce and was cold. Fried pickles are inedibly salty. I love fried pickles and get them everywhere and could not eat them. Horrible horrible experience. Will never go back. read more

Great little pub with tvs on the bottom floor, arcade games on the second, and a nice rooftop patio! The drinks and specials are plentiful and the bartender was happy to change the tv to the game we were looking for. For bar food I was pleasantly surprised. The fried pickles came out super quick and they were piping hot. The Rueben (pictured) was delicious! Definitely our fave and will be ordering again next time. I also enjoyed that the Caesar wrap was toasted. The only thing I didn't love was the onion rings, but not a problem since I enjoyed the fries and know to get those next time. read more

I live in the hood and come in frequently for beers and a snack. Great neighborhood crowd and nice staff. Fun upstairs patio. The second floor has video games and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is there is no pinball. I know I know but I love pinball. Support the biz read more

I used to frequent this bar - last night there were 2 rats inside by the front door. Pretty disgusting and I won't be back. Don't trust the staff or health code adherence at this place. read more

Come here for the drinks not the food. Bartender was nice. Music was pretty loud for the afternoon. Came in to try a new food spot as I work in the area. I won't be back. When I ate it, I could tell that their kitchen wouldn't be passing an upcoming review. read more

Came on a Thursday with some friends for the half price apps. Meatballs were good, green chili was nicely spiced and flavorful. Probably wouldn't have been satisfied paying full price for them. Decent enough lively atmosphere for a Thursday. One of the bartenders was very rude to my friend, he was a short guy with a backwards hat. He was scratching a scratch off lottery ticket he bought from a machine on their pool table. He yelled at him to not do that and came over and rudely brushed off the tiny bits of scratched off material off the very already-beer stained felt. Will not come back because of him. read more

Not really one to go out of my way to celebrate St. Patty's day like that, the bf and I, for some odd reason, found ourselves roaming the streets this year looking for green beer. And by streets, I really just mean Broadway. And thank the Irish Gods because that's exactly where the Fainting Goat lives. So, we didn't drink any green beer, but we did get in on a couple of Irish Car Bombs (because why not) and some food from their Patty's Day menu. Just a handful of items on deck that day, but what we tried were actually very good. The bf with a Reuben and fries - a generous pile of corned beef with swiss in between a couple pieces of rye. Very traditional and very good. I tried Corned Beef and Cabbage for what I think was the first time, and that beef was really delicious - flavorful and not as salty as I was anticipating it to be. Tender and perfectly fatty with a side of cabbage, carrots, and I believe even more corned beef - so good. Irish comfort food I could definitely get down with any day of the year. I can't say much else about the space and food served on non-Irish holidays, though it looks like a pretty popular spot for football games and many drinks. I would not be opposed to making this a new St. P's day tradition. read more

The Fainting Goat is one of the best bars in cap hill. Sports on many TV's, darts, pool, upstairs patio, karaoke on Friday, and Claire is the best bartender in Denver. She'll pretty much do anything you ask if you tell her it's your bday read more

I've been going to the goat for 13 years but hadn't been for awhile. The first thing I noticed was that it was dead at happy hour. All the longtime regulars were gone. Had a few beer and the first bartender insulted me. I said something to the next bartender about all the long time locals were gone and he said "I'm not going to take this negativity" so I cashed out and left zero tip. RIP another great Denver dive bar that got ruined by the new owners and new bartenders. All you have to do is look at the lack of long-time locals to see the wring on the wall. read more

This place has gone downhill big time omg. Hiked up prices, food is pathetic and drinks served warm. To top it off I had to actually beg to get sound turned on for bronco game. Apparently playing old Lynyrd Skynyrd is more important at a "Sports bar" in Denver Colorado for the literally 3 dudes in this dump. To top it off they wouldn't honor their OWN freaking advertisement! See the attached pic. What fools are running this place now? Sad... really sad. read more

Fainting Goats always make me laugh so when I saw this place pop-up on Yelp I New I was going to like it. I went in the middle of the day so I didn't get the full experience but what I saw I liked. Bar is big and the bartender was friendly and efficient. They had Cider is to me always the place a true Pub. Everyone on Yelp and the menu said the Fish & Chips was one if not the best in the city so I ordered that. It did not disappoint. Two large well crushed and crunchy pieces of fish and the chips aka fries were good. I would definitely be back to see how they do Happy Hour. read more

Could've been better - Its a bar with a nice rooftop. I had the mac n' cheese there one night and it was great. Months later I ordered it again for lunch and it was way off the mark. I picked it up and didn't look at it until I got home and called in after I saw that it wasn't the same as before or as it is advertised. I was told the manager would call back and issue a refund but never got that call. So check out the pictures below: What they advertise: extra crispy chicken tenders tossed in buffalo sauce. Finished with bleu cheese crumbles and panko bread crumbs. What I got: grilled chicken not crispy tenders, buffalo sauce, I did not get the bleu cheese crumble or panko bread crumbs. read more

If you don't wanta watch what the bartender wants to watch. Your crap out of luck. Even though your the paying customer. Had one drink and split. Bar lost out on the 5 of us drinking and eating for at least 3 hours all because the bartender wanted to watch his game and not what the paying customers wanted to watch And he was pretty much the only one watching it We'll find a better bar to spend our money at! Cheers fainting goat. won't be back there anytime soon read more

I was sexually assaulted there on Tuesday night. The aggressor was male so nothing was done. I will file a police report on Monday.

I will see an attorney as far as liability. read more

This place is awesome, the old school rustic Irish style mixed with new music and a couple games of pool make this a great afternoon or late spot night.

Foremost this place is awesome. I take everyone visiting from out of town here whenever I get the chance. Marco is the man! I've been going here all summer long, and while the whole staff always is excellent he truly goes above and beyond. Growing up out of state I've always loved finding the atmosphere of a smaller, homely style bar. This place checks all marks. Would recommend this gem to anyone visiting and looking forward to being a regular for years to come! read more

How can you not want to hang out at a place called "The Fainting Goat?" Especially when they have board games. And darts. And shuffleboard. So many wonderful things. They even have Woodchuck's Gumption cider, one of my favorites. This is a casual, welcoming, homey pub. Wooden bar and heavy wooden tables, and everything looks kind of old and well-loved in the best way. You feel like you can stay all day and relax. That's pretty much what I did on my last visit. We intended to simply order beer and cider, which we did of course, but we also couldn't help perusing the menu and ordering a fair amount of food. Our waiter was so kind and patient, making sure to clarify with the chef what is gluten free and what isn't. I ended up with a burger sans bun with alllllll the toppings, plus a side of garlic mashed potatoes which were amazing. We enjoyed playing darts even though they were kind of falling apart and the chalkboard thing you're suppose to write on doesn't work at all! I look forward to returning for some shuffleboard and board game battles. read more

Celebrated at fainting goat after the St. Patricks day parade this weekend. It was busy which was fine, it is actually a fairly big place with 3 levels. The rooftop is gorgeous and has great views of the mountains. My girlfriends and I had drinks and food, and probably the best service I've ever experienced in a bar setting. Our waiter, who was also the manager was awesome (I wish I could remember his name!) Everyone seemed to really enjoy their jobs at the fainting goat which was so cool! Mark the owner sat down with us and chatted with the group, he also was so nice and friendly. Had the buffalo chicken wrap with tots and blue cheese..it was very tasty. My whole experience here was so great, the goat will definitely be my new neighborhood hangout. read more

Whatever Floats Your Goat OK, I didn't get that expression entirely right, but who needs boats when you have goats? Seriously though, The Fainting Goat is a fantastic little pub right in the Golden Triangle neighborhood. You can grab a cold, frosty pint to knock the edge off of a tough workweek, or have a nice sit down meal at a table or booth of your liking. The menu at Fainting Goat is actually one of the many pleasant surprises you'll find here. Knock your socks off with a killer burger and an order of Irish nachos (house made chips, corned beef, & Swiss cheese, topped with horseradish dijonnaise). The weekend is for fun and fun is what you'll have! Enjoy drinks with your friends on top of their quaint rooftop patio while basking in the midday sun or soaking in the late night breeze. It just doesn't get any better than The Fainting Goat. No pretensions. All Irish class! read more

While walking to a dispensary, we stumbled on a street sign that read: $2 mimosas-So of course we had to go in. These mimosas are nothing like what I have ever seen. They don't use the normal champagne glasses, they literally serve their mimosas in pitcher glasses (pls refer to my picture). 2 drinks later you are feeling really good because they are quite generous on the champagne. Our server was Norman-super chill guy with very attentive customer service. The food was very tasty. I posted pictures on what we all orders. You cannot go wrong with there carne asada friends or nachos. *The GREEN CHILI here is pretty good. I have definitely have had better... But the chili here is pretty good! read more
