Candlelight Tavern

We drive all the way from South Aurora to get the basic delicious bomb ass cheeseburgers from Candlelight. It is one of our go to bars when we are out and about in Denver too. The crowd sometimes can get a little annoying on Friday/Saturday nights but otherwise, great patrons. The burgers are where it is at. Always served with a side of pickles, raw white onion and jalapenos. Basic and delicious. Makes me want to go there again soon.

I enjoyed this place so much. An out of towner looking for somewhere to watch the Detroit Lions Game, I researched and The Candlelight Tavern was recommended, they called it the Detroit Lions Den of Denver. They were right. My people showed up and showed out. I ordered the cheeseburger and it was delicious. A decent sized patty, strong bun, and good seasoning. I should of got two. A small space. Wish they had more seating.

Food here is decently priced, especially for the area that it's located in! Being a small tavern, I found the jalapeño cream cheese burger I got to be yummy. The employees were kind and quick to meet people's needs as well. It's a lowkey, small, place that is a great place to spend some time with friends. Only thing that I would mention is for bipoc folx. the space is more yt and there were several patrons who said some racist things to my friends. Definitely wouldn't feel comfortable coming by myself because of it, so I would only come here with other people. :)

Decided to come by on a Saturday and so glad we did! Dive bar with bomb food and friendly people! Ordered the cheeseburger with frings (fries and onion rings) and the jalapeño cream cheese burger. Both were cooked medium which is perfect in our book! The bun was the right size, meat is really flavorful and the burger is pretty thick. If you are wanting spicy get the jalapeño cream cheese burger. Chunks of jalapeños gives that kick we all need sometimes! Parking in the back of building or street parking is available. Cheryl behind the bar was very personable and made sure we always had our drinks full!

Great spot for cocktails and food! This seems to be an established hangout with a tremendous number of regulars. We have been here twice recently and have had a great time . We ordered the cheeseburger, onion rings, and hot wings, and it was phenomenal. We were expecting kind of run-of-the-mill bar food but it was super yummy. My one gripe is that they ran out of chili, and it was only 2pm. They make it fresh every day and I'm sure it's tasty, though I wouldn't know, lol. For music there is a jukebox. As we have been here once during the late evening and during the day, my favorite is in the evening.

Let's me say this .. the Monday $5.00 burgers were so good, they might beat the cherry cricket burger!!! I wouldn't call it a dive bar as it's not sticky, but it's definitely in the family'.. BUT that's a compliment, it's not a chain it's not over populated it's just perfect place to be! Let's go back to this Monday night $5 burger. As we were eating them, we were shocked at how delicious they were for five dollars and I kid you not... we sat there and two range rovers drove up at separate times.. double parked and got their burgers to go lol... it was just funny to us that somebody would double park their car to come in for these bar burgers because they were that delicious. I can guarantee you this, I will come here every Monday night for dinner moving forward for because for five bucks and the best damn burger in town, hell yeah!!!

There are so many different levels of dive bars that can be great, but this is the greatest one. Absolutely adore the staff, the food, the ambiance! Scott is the nicest bartender in all of Denver. Amazing wings and kitchen staff. And you can play real darts!

Burgers in food are amazing! The pool is amazing! The atmosphere is amazing! My favorite place to go in Denver! I love dive bars, but this is the best!For the bartenders... shout out to Chris you're awesome!

The best burger! Danno the chef is wonderful, so attentive, very efficient and great service. Have eaten here a few times and it's always consistent! Highly recommend this neighborhood joint.

Amazing dive bar. The bar is usually packed with regulars, even during weekdays. I have been coming here for years and the burger is great every time, I'm afraid to try something else. GO LIONS!!!
