The W Denver

My husband and I were excited to try this new hot spot in the neighborhood. Full disclosure, I don't eat beef or pork so I was a little hesitant to get too excited about a new fun burger place that serves top notch cocktails and drinks.We were excited to learn that they do have impossible burgers as a substitute, but they were out of them. :( We opted to have a couple of appetizers (the southern fried pickles, and crispy cauliflower). The pickles were not hot enough or crispy enough. The cauliflower which came with both buffalo and garlic aioli was pretty tasty and nice and hot. We also split a Big Bird sandwich described as a shredded blackened chicken sandwich topped with avocado, lettuce, red onion, tomato, and goat cheese. Sadly the sandwich was very disappointing. The chicken was not shredded, it was thickly sliced, cold, a little dry, and not all that seasoned. My husband thought it was too salty. There was no goat cheese on it that we could taste or see, and the avocado was a smear on the bottom bun. The bun was soft and grilled nicely, but also cold. The French fries that came with the sandwich were hot and crunchy and veryTasty. I had a cocktail called Lost at Sea and thought it was pretty good. Our server was very sweet and friendly. The inside is really cute. There is outside seating too, but we didn't take a look at it. We'll probably give them another try. Might be a cute place for an evening cocktail and a nibble.

The W, or as others who have been in Denver fo a while, formerly The Elm. While I only stopped in for a drink, The W has an updated decor with an updated menu as well. The W puts on a good show with the cocktail of the month as well as the details that went into the decorations. Happy hours are short - 4:00-5:30 Tuesdays through Fridays. All day Mondays are Happy Hour as well. The W gives off more of a refined watering hole than its predecessor. The bartender was very attentive and extremely nice. I will go again to try some of their food - many items sounded very tempting. My heart will always belong to The Elm's grilled cheese - if you know, you know! Thanks for a fun experience.

Great neighborhood spot- yummy food and welcoming environment. I was a little disappointed that they charge a fee if you sub a veggie patty- I know a lot of places charge extra for a substitution but most places have a vegetarian burger option just as part of their regular menu.

The building on Colfax & Elm in Park Hill that holds The W is a fixture in my memory as a soda fountain inside Weiss Drug Store from the 1960s. Now it holds a bar where the soda fountain was and serves wonderful burgers.The menu is interesting and had many choices that were tempting. We had to elicit help from our server, who seemed more than happy to oblige. Husband settled on the Li'l Big Wig burger, I had the W Salad. Both were yummy. Though I wished the salad had more of the veggies and candied pecans than the lettuce.Looking forward to a return visit -- one where we'll have to save room for the dessert, French Beignets Trio!

Super friendly staff at this restaurant and everyone pitches in to make sure customers are taken care of. Patio and indoor seating is available. Tables are fairly close together so if you want an intimate conversation, that may not happen. Happy Hour runs from 4-5:30pm Tuesday-Friday and all day Monday with generous house wine pours. There are also a few bites on the HH menu. I decided to try their Burger Battle Burger - the Li'l Big Wig. It had great flavor with the white cheddar, pulled pork belly bacon, and W sauce. My only issue was I asked for the burger to be medium rare, as did other guests at my table, and our burgers came out closer to medium well.

Gave a four because I want this place to do well but realistically our experience was a 3.5 star. For the prices, portions are pretty small. Should provide more fries, for example, with the burgers to make sure there's sufficient food. Burgers were good, not great. I think they were over seasoned with pepper. Vibe was fine and service was helpful and attentive.

It's cute and the food is decent. I think the wine list is the best part and the charc board. The service was good. But not much of a food selection, it's more of a small bites menu and some wine type of place.

We got tickets for their Wednesday night Comedy special and it did not disappoint! The food and drinks were amazing!! Had their slider trio which was a perfect way to sample the burgers along with their cocktail of the month. Both did not disappoint!

Great place to grab a beer and watch the game. My roommate loved the vegan mushroom burger & I had the pretzel. Service was great!

This place is amazing! The ambience, is classy. The staff and service is friendly and on point. The burgers have this really great seasoning. There is a great and wide selection of wines, beers and cocktails. I will be back again and again. I just happened to stop in on a Wednesday and they were hosting a comedy show., which is hosted every Wednesday by Odbol Comedy Hour. Classic!!!!
