Where in Denver would one get served by the incredible Hulk? Where in Denver will you find out just what Kickball is all about? Where will you find some of the drunkest and chattiest people on a Fraturday night? During my short stay in Denver good ol' Gin Mill was a good and standard way to end the night. Cheap, fun, noisy. Denver would not have been the same without the drunken chat , free pop corn and random comments. read more

The Ginn Mill has a way of turning the day sloppy in a hurry. I don't know how they do it. It's impressive really. Every time I've wandered in, it's been early afternoon for a quick drink. Every time I've left, it's been after dark and I'm trying to find a ride home. EVERY TIME. This place is some vortex of humanity that seems to suck me in, pour liquor-drinks in me, and spit me out none-the-wiser. To the ne'er-do-wells tending bar at The Ginn Mill- Equal parts congratulations, thank you, and I'll never forgive you. read more

Awesome place no matter the time of day. Great place to chill with friends during the day as you're bar hopping and gets a little more crowded at the end of the night. The drinks are CHEAP and the owner Bob is awesome! read more

So much fun! I love this place. Great dance music and always fun people. Great outside area. I have never had one complaint ever... until now... ...if I have to walk into the women's bathroom one more time w/ the toilets overflowing..I will never come back. This has happened way too many times there. I'm over it...fix them. It's absoultely disgusting and it's summer so flip flops and open toed shoes are a must. Please and Thank You! read more

This is by far the coolest place I've been to so far in Denver. It's a beautiful old building with many different areas to hang out. Keep going farther back... the back area and patio were my favorite. There were some barrels to set our beverages and coats on and visit around and we all had a great time. It got a bit crowded but we were always served and tended to promptly. I can't wait to go back my next visit! read more

This was the last stop and "after party" on my Bar Crawl list last weekend. I was pretty skeptical because friends and reviews have told some crazy stories about brawls and getting throw out for no reason. I was very happy I gave it a chance though because it quickly turned into one of my favorite bars of the night! Definitely my taste in music Hip Hop, r&b, some rap & pop. Bar tenders were very attentive and nice. The drinks came out very fast and really good! There was free popcorn and a good atmosphere overall! read more

First time in here...not sure if it will be my last. As I sat at the bar, I kept wondering, how much money could I make removing all those dollars taped everywhere? Thousands, I'm sure. I surveyed the joint, like an old gum shoe from the thirties...cliques, hopeless romantics, solo drinkers looking to start a conversation. And, most importantly, an array of shot and beer boys resting on the rail of the bar, you know that "haunch" where your arms are folded around your empty shot glass, but your warm, left-over puddle of back washed beer swishes in your pint glass as it rests loosely between your fingertips...The Happy Hour Haunch. You could actually hear their arms unsticking from the bar every time they raised back up. But, never judge a beer by it's backwash. Two dollar draws, you call during Happy Hour and a Rockies game. The Beer wasn't as cold as the stares, but the selection good. There are numerous bars surrounding the Gin Mill, so you have plenty of choices if you choose to stroll down here. The most unusual place? Step 13. An AA establishment tucked right between all the hoppy hopefuls. read more

Can't believe it took me so long to review this place. Just as the 3 stars indicates, it is A-Ok. Nothing more, nothing less. I think the factor that saved this place from 2 stars is the fact they sell 24oz cans of Molson Canadian! It could be a 5 star for you if you enjoy the crowded, rowdy, college bar scene. Basically to sum it up, Ginn Mill is a pretty standard LoDo bar. The popcorn is free and can be hit or miss, depending on if someone is paying attention to it. read more

My girlfriend and i go to this bar often for ladies night and usually LOVE it. The first bartender we had was extremely rude to us. She back talked us any time we ordered a drink and was very blunt about how she didn't want to serve us. We understand how hectic and busy it gets on ladies night, especially with free drinks, so we always tip to take care of the bartenders. After a couple of bad experiences with this one female brunette bartender, we went towards the front and had the BEST service from Jamie. she was so friendly and eager to serve us. Will definitely come back, but only for Jamie. read more

I love going to this place on weekdays. Not a huge crowd great bartenders in Andrea, Nick and Eli. Bob, the owner, is a great guy too. They've got "barrel" pong an old Pac-Man and a kick ass jukebox. So if you like to relax and have a few drinks after work and talk to some cool bartenders head down Su-Th. If you love big crowds of all the college kids that live around here then head in on Friday and Saturday night. A bunch of guys who think you are trying to steal their girl, 15+ minute waits at the bar and nowhere to sit. Not my thing but judging from the crowds on these days I'm not the typical person or I'm getting to old !-) read more

Alright, I have been to most Lodo bars (I'm 23 so sue me). Like most Yelpers, I am not a fan of the aging frat boy/whiny girls in tube dresses/general douchebaggery scene that is downtown... Buuuuuut I still tend to find myself in that area more often than I'd like to admit. Personally, I don't hate this place. Compared to the other Market/Larimer/Blake options, it's definitely a lesser evil. I don't care for how smoky the back patio gets, and it can be claustrophobic... But the bartenders are pretty cool, the popcorn covers the inevitable smell of vomit, and the playlist isn't exclusively hip hop. At the very least, the patrons make for good entertainment- it seems EVERYONE just wants to get wasted and hook up with each other. Annoying? Meh, a little. But its entertaining too. read more

This is my favorite place to go Fridays and Saturdays. It gets busy, sometimes with wall-to-wall bodies, which is great, because everyone is friendly! It isn't really a dancy place, when the music gets bumpin', people just half dance, and say 'hi' to each other... It's more like a giant frat party, with college-aged guys, and their older counterparts mostly standing around, hitting on each other. There are about twice as many guys as girls, 'though there seem to be plenty of each to go around anyway. The men's bathroom always has a line, and I've seen men pee in the sink, or in the trash can, sometimes cutting in front of the line to do so. People seem very comfortable here, guys dancing on their guy friends, or random girls, and people tag-teaming each other in mini "konga lines", women sometimes cutting in between two dancing guys to get theirs. A great time, and very relaxed. Would definitely recommend if you don't mind crowds, and great drink specials! Even when people start out somewhere else, they usually wind up here, the crowd getting to it's thickest toward midnight. Oh, a good-looking, sexy crowd if that matters.... read more

Mon-Fri 3-7 $2 calls Sat specials Sun 2 for 1s

Great spot! Staff was friendly and quick, prices were VERY reasonable, and the venue itself had a good open flow to it. Very cool patio out back that would be great to sit on during the warmer months, we just just stopped in for a beverage with a friend, but we would certainly return next time we are in town! read more

Grain of salt...or something. Here's the deal. It was opening day, post game. I met some friends there. We hung out on the miniscule patio area drinking beers and people watching, which was fun BTW. I meandered inside once to pee and was instantly taken back to the parties I attended in college in basements. Now, I don't have an issue with that, or the people that reminded me I was in a party in a basement in college. But if you do, this probably isn't the joint for you. And as I said...grain of salt cause it was opening day. (but based on the other reviews, it sounds like just another day) read more

ok - the gin mill has redeemed itself a little in my eyes, only a little. Was there this past friday night with a group of friends - pretty mixed company in general. I went there with a slightly more open mind. Why GM is a little better now? 1. they have free popcorn for snacking, or for my purpose - starting a food fight (that turned out real 2. the music (while entirely too loud), was actually pretty decent 3. I'm pretty sure they have a few new bartenders now, because they were actually pretty attentive and quick to serve 4. they have games - a little untraditional, but still pretty cool we had some intoxicated challenges from the next table over - Jenga and Connect4 Of course - #4 led the group to an all-out drunken Monopoly-fest at our place until 5am. I'm pretty sure that folks cheat at games more when drunk, thanks gin mill. Our team crushed everyone else in an honest fashion, so no matter. read more

Oh Gin Mill... On a Friday or Saturday night, I will always see friends at the Gin Mill. The atmosphere is always fun, the music is always great, and the beer is always cold. I love that I can have a real life conversation with friends at the Gin Mill without screaming at the top of my lungs. I've never had a bad time. While it is always fun, I will say that it is always the same. I like to mix things up and have exciting nights out, and going to the Gin Mill every week you get a lot of the same. read more

If you want a bar the = LODO this is the place!! Its gets packed on game nights or Friday and Saturday nights, it is sometimes hard to make it to the bar! But if you are looking for a chill place on a week night this is a cool little bar too! I like that it can be both Hip and hott and then chill and laid back!! They have the game down that is for sure they roll the $$ in there on Friday and Saturday!! Plus their Patio is gotta be one of the coolest! read more

Stopped off here after a Rockies game... Pros: Nice action on game nights; free popcorn (+1 star for that)... Cons: small, overpriced drinks... You decide... read more

Fun bar. Great drinks. They have Gin Mules which taste great, and I would like to point out that I love their popcorn machine. And they dont just have buttered popcorn in the machine, but they also have chedder popcorn in it, and it is quiet tasty. This bar also hosts a running club on Tuesday nights during the summer and the organizer is really nice and easy to talk to. Go in, have a beer and go on a 3m 5m or 10m run! read more

This place has a great vibe. Enjoyed a couple of drinks while bar hopping downtown with a friend. The service was surprisingly fast since the place was packed. The bartenders were energetic and fun. read more

I'm not sure when The Gin Mill became such a "spot" but this place was way more hoppin' than the past few times I was here. Good music, fun crowd, but the bartenders were really on their game. This was a crew that knew their stuff and were blasting out beverages rapid-fire. read more

My daughter and her friend went to this place over the weekend. They accidentally went in the men's bathroom and no one else was in there. A short tiny bouncer came in and was belligerent. They were being escorted out and causing no issues when the tiny little man pushed them multiple times till they fell to to ground. The other bouncers had no issues with the girls who were walking out. I think it's sad that this place is getting a bad review due to one tiny little man's insecurities. If he happens to be reading this I hope you rot in hell for mistreating women. Id the owners are reading this, find out who he is and fire him, gives your place a bad name. read more

The Ginn Mill is no longer a Purdue bar...after some difficulties with the bar The Alumni club has decided to switch affiliation over to the Icehouse (on Wynkoop between 18th and 19th) for watch parties and other events. I strongly encourage you to check out the new bar!! The rest of my original review stand for the Ginn Mill...its gets pretty wild and crowded on the weekends like a college bar. Pretty fun every now and then. read more

The door guy at the gin mill was hilarious he couldn't count how many of us and kept ask for our IDs... would definitely go back.

This place rocks! If you're looking for a no-nonsense place to relax on an off-night, then this is it... Based on some of the other reviews, it sounds like I came on a good night... Bar wasn't too crowded.. Grabbed some great beer... popcorn is indeed laced with crack, thus the instant addiction. Games are a nice touch. Only one random douche bag came up to me (and I'm a dude).. to profess his fluency in a language because he had lived in that country for a year.... and was convinced that I was speaking the same language with my friends (I wasn't). Entertainment delivered. read more

On our first day in Denver for my buddy's bachelor party we ran into a dude named AJ on the 16th street bus.. Who insisted on guiding us around and brought us to this spot.. Great happy hour prices and there's a pizza place down the street on the corner that'll deliver pizza to the bar. There's a cute bartender there too, I think her name was Meghan. She was jocking my wedding ring. Haha. It's a great place to get your evening started before heading to the baseball game and root for the opposing team.. Or not and root for your home team the Rockies.. read more

As good as it gets for a dive type bar! My friends & I ended up here for a while the night of my bachelorette. It was a blast! They played a great mix of music, the people were a mellow, fun crowd & best of all, we were at the table right next to the front patio. We got a lot of people watching in! Back patio is huge & a nice plus. Bathroom was my only complaint. It is limited space, wet floor because of overflows & a long line. It is standard of any bar like this & not a reason not to go here...just my personal pet peeve. I would go back & most likely will the next time I am in Denver with the girls! read more

Went here with a friend for a meeting. The architecture and history of the building are amazing. I am in LOVE with the fabulous tin ceiling. Seems to be a pretty chill place, good vibe and great staff. I was greeted warmly upon arriving and asked to come back when I left. Definitely on my TO-DO list in the VERY near future. read more

I went to The Ginn Mill with a few peeps, (also, I'm sorry I just said peeps), and was pleasantly surprised. I'd been warned on more than one occasion how terrible it could get, and was sort of dreading the onslaught of drunken douchebaggery. However, the decor was awesome (leg lamp on a shelf?!), there was a table to snag, and they had $2 drink specials. It wasn't nearly as pretentious as I'd thought, and had a great time. There IS free popcorn in the back, but it's generally burned and you have to dig it out with your hands. That being said, when you're drunk off $2 gin, getting elbow deep in salty goodness is probably what everyone dreams about. Just let it happen. read more

Great night here. David in security was friendly and professional. He helped to make it a great night.

Fun spot to have a drink. Great staff and drink selection. Great place to hang out downtown

I regularly visit the Ginn Mill on the weekends, t bu is weekend they played great music and have recently upgraded some things in the bar. Fun environment good people friendly staff! read more

$2 you call it from 3-7 on weekdays presently. It is a great feeling to get $2 Odell IPAs. I enjoy happy hour here regularly. This whole block is full of different dives. Best happy hour on the block though. read more

A+ Not only do they have fantastic happy hour, but their bartenders are incredible friendly and helpful. For a measly $2, you can quench any thirst from 3pm to 7pm (excluding premium. Oh stop it--Titos is just as good as your grey goose) The food truck can satisfy your hunger, but don't expect to order any entrees from your attractive bartender. Overall, solid... read more

The prices are right and the bartenders are tite. Love this place. Ask for handle bars, he'll do you right.

They need to play better music. Playing entire songs, and not good ones at that, is not the move. Thanks.

I first went to the Ginn Mill in 2009- 10 years later it is just as I remembered it. Full of friendliness, good drinks and memories. So glad we stopped by! read more

I'm a school teacher who was turned away because some of my tattoos came up onto my neck. Just really confused on what century we're living in-and then 5 min later a guy who worked there came out and was COVERED in tattoos all over his neck. I just dont understand what exactly is the message they're trying to send..‍‍ read more

This place is fun because I always run into people I know but here's my two issues. They play the same songs every friday and saturday night. I don't want to listen to Nelly's latest single over and over and I damn sure don't want to hear Sweet Caroline for the ummmteenth time. The main reason I had to give it such a low score comes down to the bartenders. The girl ones are nice and friendly but the dudes are losery. They strike me as those guys whose lives peaked in high school. Now they're trying to keep that type of party lifestyle going by working as bartenders. It's a sad sight. When I see them I feel so thankful to have gotten a decent career straight out of college. My advice to the owners. Less loser dude bartenders and more cute girls. Also switch up the playlist for God's sake! read more
