Very cool historic building. The beer flights was eclectic (oyster beer anyone?), and the guy behind the counter was super informative about the history of the building and business.

Meh. I was a tad disappointed in this place. On a positive note, the service was excellent! The beer list didn't have a lot of variety, and the ones I had were a bit bland. Got the giant soft pretzel, and the pretzel was very good, but the cheese sauce didn't have much flavor either. So, go for the great service!

The place is nice. Large and lots of activities to do. Attended an event there and they provided a buffet and coat racks. Parking garage across the street makes it more convenient. We had the entire upstairs where the pool tables, darts, PacMan game and table shuffleboards are. Bar of course and restrooms. The servers were helpful and came around to check on us. Food was not what made the place good. But if you want to hang out with friends and enjoy music and games, this is the place. I really enjoyed their music selection and playing darts. The restrooms were clearly labelled so we knew which ones were not in working order. Clean. First time here and I'd recommend it.

This place is HUGE. It has multiple floors with seating, bars, and pool tables available. We were seated by the windows on the main floor for a group of three. They offer pretty standard food for a pub, appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, salads, soups, pizza, and some more substantial meals like shepherd's pie, salmon, pork chops, fish tacos, and a few other dishes. I opted for the Chicken and Bacon Salad ($16.50) and a cup of Wynkoop beer cheese soup ($7). The portion sizes are pretty generous, especially with the soup. The cup portion was much bigger than I thought, and I'm so glad I didn't order the bowl of soup. The salad was fresh and it had a good amount of toppings. The soup was very rich and filling. Next time I would probably share. Our server was nice, attentive, and made sure our drinks were filled. The bathrooms are upstairs (I had to ask after wondering the wrong way). We were there when it was quiet, but from the space it looks like it can get crowded and busy.

I actually went here for the first time about a decade ago and not much has changed (in a good way). I really love the layout and vibe of this place! One, we're suckers for pool bars. Two, big fan of how much wood was used in the build. Three, there's two stories which helps separate those who wanna hang with some drinks/food and those who want to play pool. The food is simple, but good. Pretty much what you'd expect from a pool bars. I personally thought the beers were solid in contrast to some other's reviews. Also, super unique name!

You can't not check out a brewery while in Denver! I stopped by Wynkoop Brewing while exploring downtown, right next to Union Station. The classic beers here are solid and definitely worth trying (get a flight of them!). I also ordered a flight of their winter seasonals, and honestly, that one didn't hit for me. No hard feelings though, since I was mainly here for a drink. If I make it back, I'll definitely pair a beer with some food next time. Great spot for a relaxed downtown brewery experience!

Out of town visitors. Caught a baseball game & went here before. Busy but was able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast, bartender was friendly. Beers were on special before the game $4. Food was decent. Nashville hot chicken came on waffles. Caesar salad was fine- nothing special. All the beers we tried were tasty. Bar was loud as it was prior to game. Game was on the tvs. It was warm inside- needed more AC.

Donna C.

Good spot for food before a Rockies game, it's only a few blocks to walk to the ball park. Before games they are busy so get there early. Unfortunately we got seated in a back area that was the go to place for families - lots of kids and the server was swamped. Tacos were solid. The Caesar salad is huge. The street corn was pretty good but didn't come with enough chips. The margarita pizza wasn't fully cooked in the middle so that was a miss. If you are into craft beer then check it out. I'm not a beer drinker but they clearly have a lot of options.

Lucia D.

We had a good time cause we were with a fun group . The burgers were very overcooked. The pork was well done. Nothing came out medium. I was disappointed. The large pretzel with the beer cheese is awesome.

Charlie D.

In short beer was good food was not. We started with a pretzel which was good. The beer cheese sauce was delicious. I then had a bison burger medium and it was very well done, thin burger, dried out bread. The beer I had was very good. The restaurant itself was nothing special, just a pub like atmosphere. The service was ok, they took our order timely but never came back to check if food was ok or if we needed anything.

Mayte C.

Visiting for the weekend and we had to hit up a brewery. We were quickly greeted and seated. This place is huge, lots of seating areas. Our server was friendly and made some recommendations. We ordered the elote dip(should call this the elite dip), pretzel with cheese, dry rub wings, and a burger. We went the classics. The food was good but the one that stood out was the dip. Overall it was a good place but the food wasn't a game changer for me. Definitely a good spot for a drink and catching up though.

Mike S.

We were heading out to catch the train. We stopped in here for lunch. This place is so cool. The building is awesome. We got seated right away. Our waitress was awesome! The fried pickles were so delicious so were the wings! The beer was really good and so was my wife's drink! Food came out really fast. Also the upstairs has a cool billiard room with pinball machines. We will definitely be back here! Cheers

Ann L.

We stopped in for a beer on the recommendation of our tour guide from the previous day, and he definitely didn't steer us wrong! I loved the decor, particularly the tin ceiling. The beer list was impressive and it was hard to decide but I went with the LoDo IPA and it was excellent! Staff were friendly and really helpful as we all worked to select our beverages. As a bonus, beers were only $4 since there was a game at Coors Field! This is an amazing deal and makes this the perfect place to stop in before a game even if you're not attending. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Denver.

This was our second visit to Wynkoop. Both times we went after a Rockies game. The problem was the limited menu they offered. I asked for the chicken sandwich I had seen a previous reviewer recommend. The server said they are now only offering a limited menu. I asked why. He did not offer a reason but said those were the only choices. read more

Dear Wynkoop, never again! Was leaving Coors Field, was a little inebriated and wanted more to drink. So instead of jumping on the train to go back the airport, my buddies and I decided to keep drinking. We should've gone somewhere/anywhere else to do this. First of all the service was awful. 2 bartenders, not busy at all, and they did not want anything to do with us or any other patrons sitting at the bar... and you may be wondering if we were obnoxiously inebriated... we were not. We commiserated with two other parties that had the same experience. We ordered chicken nachos. Honestly the worse nachos I've ever had. The cheese they chose to use was terrible, they really should rethink it. The beer I chose, The Forgotten Portrait was also terrible! It wasn't one of their in house brews so I can't blame them for this but in case anyone there reads this, they should not feature this awful beer. The area this brewery is located in is full of different businesses to support, I would choose any other spot to grab a meal and a drink. Over 950 yelp reviews and only 20 one-star reviews under my belt. Congrats to Wynkoop for being unlucky number 21. I have to say it one more time - never again! read more

We came here a once while in town for GABF and this was a very fun brewery to visit. It was packed when we came, but we were seated promptly and the service was good overall. We had chips and queso, which was tasty and paired really well with their triple IPA, which was very good. We didn't get to try many more of their brews, so we'll have to come back on our next trip to Denver! read more

First time visiting Wynkoop Brewing with my fiancé and overall it was a good experience! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff was hospitable, and the ambiance passed the vibe check. On the upper floor, there's a full bar, a plethora of pool tables, and shuffle board (I think). Only reason I rated this at 4 stars was the fact that the pool tables need better maintenance - the tables need to be wiped down and the table felt needs to be cleaned/changed. read more

our first Brewery in Denver and it did not disappoint! The waitress gave us a flight of six beers and one of their many mules. the beers were great, minus the IPAs as I'm not a huge fan. They have five different mules to try! We tried all of them minus the standard mule. each had their own flavor and was fantastic. the unfortunate part was the fish and chips. They were originally forgotten about when we asked our waitress, but was soon rectified. The fries tasted bland and the fish was a bit too salty on certain areas. overall, this is a great place to start with beautiful view of union station. read more

We had the most incredible experience with our private event here. Sarah, Jenna, and Kevin were amazing in making sure our event ran smoothly from start to finish. The food was outstanding (our party of 70 was raving about it), and Jenna and Kevin worked tirelessly behind the bar to ensure no one was left thirsty, and plates were cleared quickly to minimize mess. Sarah's communication in planning our event was much appreciated, and she even accommodated our request to get in an extra 15 minutes early to set up. We will definitely keep Wynkoop in mind for future events as everything was perfect. Thank you! read more

I was in Denver for the GABF, and just had to drop by this brewery to try their ridiculous rocky mountain oyster stout, just to say I had. I wasn't expecting much, but you can't *not* try a beer like that. I was surprised to see, though, they actually have a pretty broad range of interesting beers, not just the one everyone talks about - I got a flight of a sour, a kvass, an English mild with hot peppers, and yes, the balls stout. They were all pretty dang good beers, too - yes, even the stout. I imagine it gets pretty loud and hectic later in the day, but when I was there, while it was still fairly busy (bar service was a little slow, but not irritatingly so), it was also a fairly chill place to hang out and sample some beer - the place is giant! Interestingly, they also have a full bar (you never see that in California at breweries), but I was just there for the beer. If I were back in Denver, I just might try the fish & chips, though, since I feel like it'd go particularly well with their beer. read more

There are three huge floors and the entire upstairs has around 20 pool tables, darts, and table shuffleboard. Beer was great - large selection made there as well as a few visitor brews they will feature from other breweries. Menu was excellent - so much to choose from that I can't wait to come back.

Afterwards, I tried the Peach flavored beer, which wasn't as tasty say the Lemon, but it wasn't bad.

Came here with my husband for a happy hour with his colleagues, so I may need to revisit to get a better feel for the place as a whole. From my happy hour experience, it's a pretty standard brewpub that seems to have no problem filling tables. I should probably note we were seated on the second floor landing. The beer was tasty - though maybe not as flavorful as I came to expect given the menu descriptions - and very reasonably priced. We ordered a few snacks: chips and queso, roasted chile artichoke dip, and chicken sliders. Again, all were tasty, but not the best I've ever had. Our server was a little lacking in the providing service department - I never received water after asking for it and had to actively search when we wanted to pay our tab - but again, not the worst. All in all, I think Wynkoop is a solid three star joint. read more

Specialties

Colorado's First Brewpub carrying out Denver's tradition of handcrafted beers and bringing people together. We promise you the best pairings of craft beer brewed fresh in house daily and food this side of the Rocky Mountains.

History

Established in 1988.

Back in 1988, when the area of LoDo was not even a thought, current Gov. Hickenlooper and three friends opened up this brewpub. The area known now as LoDo grew significantly around it. Hickenlooper took to politics and the brewpub kept doing what it does best, great food, great beer in a large atmosphere holding onto the character of its 100+ year old building.

Meet the Manager: Griffin Y.

Griffin is the General Manager of Wynkoop Brewing Company. He's a big fan of the Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout and can't wait to recommend some great food and beer pairings at Denver's oldest Brewpub!

Is this a good place to bring kids?

It's more of a brewpub than a typical brewery, so it's definitely more of an appropriate place for kids! There's indoor and outdoor seating so should be easily able to find a seat with children.

Great location, relaxed vibes, especially on a Sunday evening. The beer was solid, but the food stole the show (mostly across the board). Most of our group was happy with their dishes. I had the steak sandwich with a side salad, and the sandwich was top tier. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich, and this one absolutely hit the spot. It was also pretty large, which made it more of a fork-and-knife situation than a handheld one, but no complaints there. A few people in our party upgraded their sides to the sweet potato fries, which were next level. Perfect balance of crispiness with a hint of sweetness that made them stand out. One miss in the group was the mac and cheese; my sister ordered it and wasn't a fan, felt it was too liquidy/runny and underwhelming compared to everything else we tried. Only minor knock overall was that the kitchen was pretty slow, especially considering it wasn't very busy late on a Sunday evening. Not a dealbreaker, but something worth noting if you're in a hurry. Overall, great first Denver meal; good beer, mostly good food, and a relaxed spot that made for a solid welcome to the city.

That evening, I was craving pho. Pho 92 came recommended and I was immediately drawn to the clear broth in the photos while researching Yelp for Vietnamese food. It was a Thursday evening when we arrived at Pho 92, and the restaurant was packed. It was loud, with staff bustling about and patrons enjoying their meals. The aroma of the pho broth was just as I had hoped for a busy restaurant. We waited approximately 10 min for a table. The staff were pretty efficient and looked to have a good system going for bussing tables. Hailing from CA, I am no stranger to good pho, and this place hit the spot. I'm so glad I decided to get the regular instead of the large, because wow those portion sizes were indeed huge. My husband made the "mistake" of ordering the combination vermicelli bowl, and it came packed with tender proteins and crispy egg rolls. That just meant for some delicious leftovers (that actually reheated perfectly). The pho broth was as clear as I had imagined from looking at other patrons' photos. It still had a good depth of flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had been a long travel day for us, so I didn't want oily soup. (Sometimes I do enjoy rich, oilier pho broth, but not that night.) The pho came with a plethora of herbs, which I of course used all of. Be warned that their chili oil is very spicy, which I accidentally put too much of without first trying (oops). I generally don't go to the same spot twice during a trip, as I enjoy trying out different local businesses, but Pho 92 would have been a spot I'd return to again if we had had the time and if I had wanted pho again. Their menu is huge, so there are plenty of dishes to choose from to satisfy your cravings, whatever those might be for any given day. We will definitely be back the next time we visit CO!

After we were seated, our server started taking our order but stopped midway to run someone else's food.

I feel I need to preface this review by first stating that I might be slightly biased on my review, but I am trying to give it my honest opinion. The brewery is named for the street, and the street and building is named for my great great grandfather, so being a local Wynkoop, when I am in denver, naturally I have little hesitation to stop in. That being said, I am not sponsored, endorsed or compensated for this review. The owners and managers are not even aware of who I am, nor have I ever been asked when shown my ID. My first overall impression is that this place is set up really nicely. All the tables for food are opposite the barside and its split right in the middle from the entrance which is perfect. The front and bartender is always really polite and friendly as is the wait staff. They always make good recommendations based on what is new or even the weather as to what beer might fit best with the food ordered. To me the food itself is kind of middle of the road to what you would expect to find in a brewery. It's just slightly above average, which to me is perfectly fine as I have no expectations of going there for amazing food. Its more of a social setting with some food and lots of beer. As I am not a huge beer drinker I don't feel confidant in judging the variety of beer you can find here, but the few glasses I have had, I did enjoy and like. One thing I did like is for a brewery, I am not overwhelmed with the funky smell of hops that sometimes associates breweries like this. It really just had a slight smell of old building mixed with food. Which is to say it mostly just smelled like a restaurant. The atmosphere might be my favorite part of this, in that its laid out well as to not overwhelm any area with conversation noise. Yes, when its full obviously there will be the mild drone of voices, but its not filled with people yelling and ear bleeding volumes of music which is nice. You can have a casual conversation with people without being disturbed by the background noise. Overall, I really enjoyed my visits here not just for the historical aspect of the location, but it really is a nice place to go for a beer and some food. There is also a gift shop next to the brew room where you can pick up some Wynkoop Brewery gear should you wish too. read more

If you are looking for the rudest wait staff in Denver look no further than the pool hall at Wynkoop Brewing. Upon arriving we were directed up stairs where the music was bumping and the vibe was amazing. We chose a seat at a large table in the middle of the bar ( we had a large group). We settled in and waited for our server. After 20 min of waiting most of our group had gone to the bar for drinks and food. When Giselle finally came to the table she was visibly annoyed that the group didn't wait for her. She was very short with us only giving one word answers and not making eye contact with any of us. She would stare past us like there was always something else she could be doing. Giselle took the order and then we didn't see her again for 30 more min. When she did return, she slammed glasses on the table aggressively and seemed to be having some kind of temper tantrum. Our group then tried to close our tabs w/ Giselle and could not locate her for quite some time. During our dining experience Giselle did not remove one empty glass or dirty dish, when asked to remove plates we were finished with, she again had major attitude, as if we were really inconveniencing her. I moved to the bar where I started a tab for the group. Ramon took great care of us and we had a wonderful time. I did ask another server w/ long black curly hair to ask a manager to come over. I never saw her or a manager for the rest of our time in the building. If I do return to Wynkoop, I will be heading straight to the bar where the energy was fun and friendly. read more

I stopped in here during GABF. They had temporarily blocked off part of their sidewalk for a Pints for Prostates event, so my first stop was at the "Beerliner" bus pulled up outside. (There are taps on the side of the bus.) A worthy event -- I raised a glass and donated to the cause. After that brief detour I headed inside. The service was pretty speedy. Not world-class but I wasn't twiddling my thumbs for long. They looked like they were pretty busy. Judging by the other guys I saw with beer samplers, I'm gonna guess that I wasn't the only one of the GABF folks who had found the place. My server was happy to set me up with dinner and a sampler of several of their beers. The beer and food both came out in good time, but I got french fries rather that the bacon potato salad I had ordered. I pointed the problem out and got the potato salad in about 20 seconds flat. So I got fries and the salad. The food was great. The various beers I tried ranged between good and excellent. One oddity was the "Belgian-style" beer made only out of Colorado ingredients, except for the yeast. I'm just gonna say that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. My server was excellent. He really took an interest in making sure I got the right beer and the right dinner choices. He was ready to explain anything about their beer that I cared to ask, I'm glad I stopped in/. read more

I recently visited a fantastic brewpub and had an incredible experience that I feel compelled to share. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff greeting me and a cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home. The beer selection was exceptional, with a wide variety of styles to choose from, each with its own unique flavor and character. I especially enjoyed trying some of the local brews that were on tap, as well as some of the more experimental offerings that the brewpub was known for. But what really set this brewpub apart was the food. The menu was creative and diverse, with a range of delicious options to suit every taste and preference. I was blown away by the quality of the food, which was expertly prepared and presented with care and attention to detail. Throughout my visit, the service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to make sure that my experience was enjoyable and memorable. They were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the beer and food offerings, and always happy to answer any questions I had. Overall, I can't recommend this brewpub highly enough. If you're looking for a great spot to enjoy some fantastic beer and delicious food, all in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, then this is definitely the place to be. I can't wait to come back and visit again soon! read more

It's been a while since my last visit, and a few things have changed, but the essentials are still solid. First of all, big shoutout for adding a kids menu and crayons--always a lifesaver when dining with little ones. Now, onto the important stuff--the beer. Thankfully, not much has changed here. The beers are still good--not mind-blowing, but they hit the spot. And the names? Even better. Honestly, who doesn't love a good pun in their pint? But the biggest improvement? The service. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, which was a refreshing upgrade from what I remember. The food also stepped up its game. I ordered the Wynkoop burger, asked for it medium-rare, and surprise--it actually came out medium-rare! Toppings were on point, and the burger was satisfying overall. My wife went for the schnitzel grilled cheese, which had potential. It was good but could've used a bit less bread or maybe just a solid press to bring it all together. You come for the Rocky Mountain Oyster Beer (yes, that's exactly what you think it is) and keep coming back for everything else. All in all, a solid spot. read more

We were excited to try this brewpub during our stay so we planned to go there to get some bites and drinks. Keep in mind this was our first time here and we knew nothing about it. We get there and the hostess asks us inside, outside or upstairs. After some deliberation we picked outside. The hostess let out an exasperated sigh and a sour look on her face so I asked her what was wrong thinking something was wrong with her. She proceeds to tell us she never told us outside was an option and that it would be "super inconvenient" to sit us there so, to not be an apparent burden to the location... We went upstairs, had a beer and left. I never knew me giving a business money would be inconvenient. The upstairs bartender was lovely and the beer was solid those get the stars. As we were leaving we noticed several groups outside and multiple open seats and chairs available. I understand the world is understaffed but a better choice of words may have made a huge difference in my decision to stay or go back. read more

I recently visited a this brewery in Denver expecting a delightful combination of great beer and delicious food. (This was my first time in Denver too.) Let's start with the burger. As someone who appreciates a well-crafted burger, I was left disappointed by the one I ordered at this brewery. The Bulgogi burger just avoid it. Moving on to the service, my disappointment only grew when I attempted to inquire about the beer flight options. Upon asking the server for recommendations or any information about the different beers available, I was met with an indifferent attitude. It seemed as though the server had no interest in assisting or engaging with customers. It is worth noting that the atmosphere of the brewery was pleasant, with a lively ambiance and a decent selection of beers on tap. However, these positives were overshadowed by the subpar burger and the unhelpful service. read more

This place back in the 90's was great. Went there a few months back and not only was the service horrible, but the manager kicked us out for eating a piece of food not from there. Granted they have food codes, but they (bouncers and waitress) let one of our party walk into the place after they closed their kitchen. We were with a small group of people mostly over 60 years old (if you can believe it)....weren't loud or drunk and obnoxious. We tried to calmly reason with him and he wouldn't have it. He wouldn't even let us close out our tab. It was like something out of a horror movie. Totally crazy. A few minutes after we left I was standing on the corner trying to flag down a cab when the manager came out with a Denver Police Officer in tow and demanded that I pay the bill...it was unreal. Needless to say Hickenlooper doesn't own it anymore and it shows. GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! read more

I recently had a very disappointing experience at Wynkoop Denver. We had a reservation to celebrate a family member's birthday, but unfortunately, the evening was far from enjoyable. The service was incredibly slow, and the staff were quite rude, which immediately put a damper on our celebration. The food quality was a major issue; it was frankly inedible, and I even experienced stomach problems after eating it. To make matters worse, multiple orders were incorrect, and the restaurant refused to offer any compensation for these mistakes. Additionally, the attentiveness of the staff was lacking. Our drinks were never refilled, and we had to repeatedly ask for water. The loud music made conversation difficult, adding to the unpleasant atmosphere. Overall, it was a highly disappointing experience, and I won't be returning. read more

Food is great here! Fish tacos, burgers, nachos; you name it, they pretty much have it. Service was a bit slow but that okay, I like to people watch so no skin off my back. Ambiance is great. Upstairs is a pool hall with bumpin music at night. Downstairs is more chill vibes. What intrigued me the most was that the GM who carries a concealed weapon, and drinks on the clock, is STILL THERE!! According to the company, it's against their policy for ANYONE to carry a concealed weapon. According to the state of CO, it's against the law for anyone to drink while carrying a concealed weapon. Ladies in corporate better be careful, there may be a lawsuit here. Heaven forbid Jeff get a little tipsy one night and do something stupid with his concealed weapon. read more

I came to Wynkoop Brewing Company the other day with my uncle and we absolutely liked the place. Especially upstairs were we got to have our drinks while playing the pool table, that was quite something. I also ordered some food and it was wonderfully prepared. The waiters were efficient and they didn't keep us waiting one extra minute. The music selection by the DJ suited the occasion. Although it has been a while since I came back here to enjoy their fantastic beer, I'll certainly be returning here again soon to order some rounds. If you want to have a great time either alone or with a partner, then this is definitely the place to be. I'm hoping to pay them a visit again this coming weekend if I'll be in that part of town. read more

Worst management that i have ever experienced. They way that the manger treated my mother was the most disrespectful thing someone in hospitality can do. We went is as a party of 12 consisting of two families. We went in for dinner. The up stairs manager cursed out my mother and kicked her out. It was literally the worst service that i have had. The actions taken by the manager gave the brewery a bad name. The manager needs to work on his social skills and needs to be respectful to any customer. Saddest part is we were a family looking for food and he landed up cursing and kicking out my mother. Shame on you Wynkoop brewery read more

This is by far one of the best restaurants in Denver. Their food selection is always diverse and the service provided is always appreciated. The cost for what you get and the quality of food is AMAZING! Its the perfect place to take out of town family members or friends. I love the salmon clubs and butternut squash soup. The chocolate cake is pretty good as well. I also think it's pretty great that they dedicate a beer a month to a local nonprofit. A restaurant giving back to the community says a lot about their character. Whoever developed this program should be commended. read more

I had the pleasure of being greeted by Julia at Wynkoop Brewing in downtown Denver, and she absolutely set the tone for a fantastic evening. From the moment we walked in, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. Even though the place was busy, Julia was calm, organized, and made sure we were taken care of right away. Her friendly attitude and genuine hospitality really stood out -- she made us feel like valued guests, not just another table. Wynkoop is lucky to have someone like her representing the front of house. Thanks, Julia, for making our night even better! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining and drinking at this fantastic restaurant and brewery in Denver, and it truly lived up to its reputation as a city staple! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home! The vibe of the place is awesome, and they have a killer beer selection! If you're ever in Denver, this spot is a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you'll find yourself drawn in by the great atmosphere and staying for the incredible food and drink. Highly recommended! read more

This place is in an awesome old historic building that is rather large. It was exactly the kind of atmosphere you'd want from a brewery. Service was pretty good - I believe our server was a bit busy. Wonderful beer selection. The food menu was short, but that's always a good sign ... our server said everything was basically made from scratch. I had the buffalo meatloaf which was amazing! My colleague had a special macaroni and cheese, and that too was really good. I'd definitely recommend trying this place out - you most likely won't be disappointed! read more

I love a good microbrew, and Denver excels in this field. I have to spend a lot of time in other cities for work, and nobody hold a candle to Denver. The beer selection here is the best in the city, and while some feel the bar staff is surly, I've always found them to be very nice. They have a low tolerance for d-bags, and for that I must commend them. I don't recommend going on a Friday nights because of the crowd, but sometimes they have good stuff, and if you go early you may be able to get a seat. I will definitely be back to this place! read more

Man this place is cool! The place is super old and rustic and there a ton of history in this place. I had lunch downstairs, my servers name was colleen, she was great! The place was packed and she never missed a beat. Memorizing my food and drink order, with recommendations for both. I had the carnitas tacos and boy was there a ton of meat on them. After enjoying these packed tacos I was informed there was a POOL HALL UPSTAIRS?! This place has it all. After my lunch I went upstairs and played some billiards. I will most certainly be back! read more

The food was pretty good, service was pretty good- nothing amazing though. However, if you are into very different types of beers, you would probably like this place. I am not a big beer drinker- sacrilidge, I know. This place had micros with all kinds of flavors and ingredients that I would never consider adding to beer. They had one with bannana- another with cerrano peppers, and they tasted exactly like that. Not really for me, but I imagine that for someone who likes to try different and original beers, it would be pretty fun. read more

For our last night in Denver, we searched for a brewery and stumbled upon this one. It had decent reviews, so we gave it a shot. We grabbed seats at the bar right away, which was a plus. The brewery itself was huge, but surprisingly quiet - maybe due to the holiday season. Our server was friendly and attentive. We tried two beers: the Hazy IPA and Party's Chile beer. Unfortunately, neither really hit the spot for us. We also decided to skip food. Overall, it didn't quite meet our expectations, but the service was good. read more
