The Most Flavorful Beer Bar in Denver

Hops & Pie

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1136)

"My husband and I got takeout from here the other day and shared:- Crispy Pork Sandwich with Pasta Salad- BYO Detroit Style Pizza with Pineapple, Pepperoni, and Caramelized OnionsEverything was phenomenal. I'm always hesitant to order sandwiches for takeout but this one was still so good. The pizza had the crispy cheese crust that was done perfectly. I'd love to dine in because I'm sure it's even better."

Park Burger - Pearl

★★★★☆ 4.1 (954) • $$

"My boyfriend was craving a burger and we were in the area so we decided to give this spot a go. I got the mini park burger and substituted raw onions for shoestring (pro hack they don't charge extra this way). The truffle parm fries were perfectly cooked and crispy. My milkshake was delicious they make the strawberry sauce in house and the whipped cream was so fluffy. I'm not a big burger fan by any means (I actually tend to avoid burgers) but THIS burger has me questioning everything. Delicious bun, juicy patty and perfectly crisp onions. The inside of this place is super cute and come spring the patio area looks lovely. Bravo."

ZEPS EPIQ Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 4.3 (472) • $$

"Killer sandwich place! Stopped in today for the first time and ordered the Aspen melt with tots (truffle seasoning). My husband got the Pueblo cheesesteak with tots (bacon jalepeno cheddar seasoning). Both were to die for. Came out quick, decently priced, and huge portions. The tots were crispy and both of the seasonings were fantastic. Highly recommend grabbing one of the chocolate chip cookies. We made the mistake of skipping it and I regret it now lol."

Maine Shack

★★★★☆ 4.1 (444) • $$

"Maine Shack is legit. Wonderfully light buttery rolls- filled with tender juicy Lobstah! I honestly haven't had a proper lobster roll this yummy since I moved away from Connecticut in my early twenties, (I'm 54). We ordered the medium sized brown butter and fancy lobster rolls, the roll size is the same, but medium has 4 oz of lobster, both of which were amazing. The fancy is lighter and lemony with light mayo, the brown butter, is rich and delectable. I might have groaned out loud. It is pricey, but the quality is excellent and we had plenty of lobster in our medium sized 4oz portion. Hours later and I'm still thinking about those lobster rolls. Yummy homemade potato chips too. Mmm!"

Walter's303 Pizzeria & Publik House Uptown

★★★★☆ 4.1 (431) • $$

"We've eaten here a couple of Times and both times it was excellent. It's in our neighborhood and it's yummy!Pizza is delicious. We had a ham, olive and mushrooms in a regular crust. 15 minutes to perfection The blucifer is messy and tasty as a wrap. The half salad is a fair amount of food and a better option than chips. Service is nice but can be a bit slow. At 6:30pm on Wednesday the place was packed and all the outdoor seating was filled. Turned over twice while we were there. A great neighborhood spot for pizza. Sammies and some select noodles dishes. Full drink menu!"

Wood Paddle Pizza and Tap

★★★★☆ 4.4 (346) • $$

"Fantastic Pizza, such nice staff, great beers on tap... What more do you need?I tried wood paddle pizza for the first time shortly after they opened, must've been five years ago now. I was quickly hooked! I used to live very close and probably ate there way too many times, long before I ever became a yelper. So I was a little nervous going back for the first time in years because I so desperately needed it would be as delicious as it was back then. But, as we know, all too often quality tends to suffer after so much time goes by. And our tastes can change. Well I am happy to report that neither the quality of their food nor my taste buds have changed one bit! My favorite pizza (Armando) is still fire. If anything was missing some of that fennel pollen flavor that I loved so much, next time maybe I'll just order more. But everything else about it was exactly what I remember... Flavorful sauce, gooey cheese, savory sausage, perfectly chard broccoli! And that crust is SO delicious. I actually ate two slices completely. I usually don't eat the edge of the crust because it's either not good or I don't wanna waste the carbs and calories. But I ate every last bite of each piece! Such a great little hidden gem in Aurora! Arguably the best pizza in Aurora in my opinion!"

Slater's 50/50

★★★★☆ 3.8 (339) • $$

"Always a great place to hang out before heading directly into downtown. There is always room at Slater's but diners can still make reservations. Thanks to the staff for accommodating our requests to watch multiple NFL games (gotta check Fantasy Football natch!) I am a big fan of their burgers, especially the 50/50. It's cooked with a slight pink, and is uber juicy and tasty. No where else compares! Leave room for one of their fantastic milkshakes. Then plan to run a marathon to work it off."

Tap & Burger Belleview Station

★★★★☆ 3.6 (281) • $$

"Just came back from having lunch there with a friend. This place has a very nice ambiance, and their great service added to a pleasant dining experience. We also both liked our food. - So why only 3 stars you may ask?No, it wasn't the mandatory 20% gratuity that is added to a check (several reviews mentioned this before). Since it was clearly stated on the menu, plus our server mentioned it to us as well before picking up our check, doing so was quite acceptable. I took one star, because we felt that albeit the food was good, it was grossly overpriced.I had to take a second star away, since they are violating a Colorado law that prohibits pet dogs from being in an inside dining establishment. Health code does not allow that (see photo)."

Glo Noodle House

★★★★★ 4.6 (151)

"GNH might be the BTS of the Denver Ramen scene... their dishes "light it up like dynamite!" If you're unfamiliar, BTS is a famous K-Pop boy band that sings the 2020 hit song, "Dynamite". Check your spotify or reference your last wedding, you know the song. :DSo what was so "Dynamite!", let's break it down...Upon walking in, I felt a "I-I-I'm in the stars tonight, so watch me bring the fire and set the night alight". They have really vividly colorful murals and lantern lighting from above that gives a "shining through the city with a little funk and soul". If you're thinking about this spot for a date or gathering, I think you can definitely "bring a friend, join the crowd". Anyone would enjoy the very music video-isc vibe. The service was "cha-ching like money" just on it! We were greeted with cool kindness, solid explanations to our questions about the menu and swift refills of our water glasses. We got the Deathwish and Miso Bacon... both were "Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na" and lit our taste buds up "like dynamite!" The broth in both was salty, savory and all kinds of "whoa oh oh"!If you like spicy, Deathwish is for you. If you don't, Miso Bacon. My favorite was the Deathwish. I'd say it was the "I'm diamond, you know I glow up" of the Miso Bacon, because the bowls have the same ingredients excluding their chili sauce (which I found to be a well-balance of spice, tang and delicately sweet). So, if you're in the area, I'd dance your way into Glo Noodle House! You'll be sure to have a "Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy" DYNAMITE experience. :D"

Federales - Denver

★★★★☆ 3.8 (201) • $$

"Two year later, the Hatch Chile Nachos at Federales are still fantastic! Came here with my friend after a happy hour event, and I love how late they're open. I already had my fill of margaritas but couldn't resist a heaping pile of dressed-up nachos. Every chip had plenty of toppings. It was all delicious. Service at the bar was fine. Definitely gets a little rowdy but would keep coming back again whenever I'm partying out in RiNo."

Occidental

★★★★☆ 4 (145) • $$

"We ate and had drinks here. The food was way more than you would think for bar food so totally worth it. Dom and jimmy were our servers and bartenders. By far the best service I ever had ever. It was a very nj vibe which I loved. Always had my water refilled without even asking. I was there when it wasn't so busy but it is a hidden gold mine. I will be going here every time I am in Denver mainly because of jimmy our bartender. Even gave us a special ice cube that was carved specially for us. Absolutely incredible."

French 75

★★★★☆ 3.5 (177) • $$$

"Walked to the location with a friend. It was restaurant week and they had a specific menu that you could order from. Sadly, I couldn't have most of any was on the menu. I ended up with fries as you couldn't order specific items from the restaurant week menu and I was allergic or had restrictions from other items. It didn't take long for the food. The kitchen and bar are right in front of you. The fries were good. Nice atmosphere. Staff was friendly and efficient."

Odell Brewing Sloan's Lake

★★★★☆ 4.3 (108) • $$

Wally's Wisconsin Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.8 (138) • $$

"Stopped in for lunch. It was seat yourself a d happy hour on a Sunday from 12-3. Beers were $1 off. Jason was our server. Great job explaining things. I ordered the walleye with the sweet potato fries pretty good, nothing to write home about, but I haven't had walleye in a while. it is connected to a German restaurant and you get your choice of menu's. All in all, good food. good service."

Berkeley Untapped

★★★★☆ 4.4 (70) • $$

"There are many reasons to love this place and I'm going to tell you why.1. 7% cash back when you claim the Yelp offer to Berkeley Untapped. As long as you have your credit card linked on Yelp and make a purchase here, you'll automatically receive dat free money back into your account.2. For every sale, Berkeley Untapped gives its patrons the option to drop a chip into a bucket, which they will donate a portion of their sales to said charity. I've never seen this at a business, let alone a bar. How cool!3. The beers on tap and the whiskeys on hand make for some of the best in the city. Local beers from all around Colorado and a crazy awesome booze selection make this place an undeniable winner. The bartenders are relaxed and knowledgeable, while the space is small and cozy. Do not walk by this Tennyson gem!"

Tap On The Rocks

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (113) • $$

"After a fun hike at Red Rocks Park we decided to stop in the small, quaint town of Morrison, Colorado, which boast a population of 400. There are many restaurants on the main street, catering to thirsty and hungry hikers. We came upon Tap On The Rocks restaurant which offered nice outside seating. We were greeted promptly and told to select any table on their deck, which is covered by a lattice roof. It's a nice, shaded deck. Water was quickly served, and after about 5 minutes our waitress came by the table and we ordered: * Cobb Salad $17.00: Grilled chicken, bacon, cucumber, tomato, olives, onion, egg, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, fresh mixed greens * House Salad $9.00 Spring Mix, Grape Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Fresh Mozarella * (2) Patty Melt $16.00 Pork & Beef Patty, Caramelized Onions, Swiss Cheese on Rye.I hate giving out 1-star reviews but Tap On The Rocks surely earned it. All four of us thought this was the worst lunch we've had in years (likely in the top 5 most terrible meals I've ever had). The Patty Melt was dry, seriously overcooked, had almost no cheese and the onions were raw red onions. Two of these melts were ordered, and they were both terrible, much of the sandwich left on their respective plates. My Cobb Salad was 95% lettuce, had a few tiny pieces of cucumber, a few strands of cheese, and two tiny bits of bacon. The chicken was some type of pressed, processed chicken, it tasted odd, was it chicken? I'm not sure if they ran out of ingredients, had an incompetent chef, or some combination of both. If you happen to be driving through Morrison, don't walk by Tap On The Rocks, Run!!"

Dulce Vida

★★★★☆ 3.8 (85) • $$

"Dulce Vida is one of the truly underrated establishments in Denver. It has a great selection of draught beers and liquors and the menu though small is just right.Great service and a great patio!"

The Crawling Crab

★★★★☆ 4 (72)

"Delicious and fresh seafood and the chicken wings surprisingly is so good! It's always nice to get a server who is all smiles, it makes it more welcoming! The place is huge and the seating is plenty!I love the hand wash station!"

Campfire

★★★★☆ 3.6 (80)

"Lovely outdoor seating with a decent variety in menu. There was only one waitress while the rest of the staff was in a meeting in the corner. I felt bad for her because some people were impatient, however she was extremely kind and did her job well. The food was nearly perfect. Great flavors and cooked just right. The Brussel sprouts were covered in thick balsamic vinegar and crisp bacon. The potato chips were delectably crunchy. The chicken was moist yet crunchy, however could have used a little bit better batter and more spice. My friends enjoyed the pastrami and egg salad potato salad. Everyone said that the margaritas were delicious but I was plenty satisfied with my IPA draft. Would definitely go again."

DJ'S Watering Hole

★★★★☆ 4.2 (49)

"Great atmosphere, very open with plenty of seating and a bar in the center. Lots of wood makes the place feel casual and inviting. The menu offers an interesting mix of Indian specialties and bbq plates. There are also options for vegetarians, always a good thing in the area. Nice selection of beers, cocktails and a few wines. I can't wait to go back in the spring when the weather is nice enough to enjoy their patio."

Music City Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41)

"Woah, I haven't reviewed Music City Hot Chicken? Shame on me.This easily has to be some of the best hot chicken in the city. Why? It's actually hot! I'm getting sick and tired of every restaurant in town putting a hot chicken sandwich on the menu and it possessing barely any heat. Hot chicken is hot chicken. Let's keep it that way!Best of all, Music City Hot Chicken is located inside one of my favorite places, TRVE Brewing. Hot chicken, beer and metal? Sign me up. AND CARVE SLAYER INTO YOUR FOREARMS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.Service is quick. You order at the counter and in 10 minutes you pick up your food and enjoy. Music City's forte are their hot chicken tenders. If you can't handle the heat they have lower levels of spiciness. Also I'm pretty sure they make their own sauces, and it makes all the difference in the world.Don't sleep on this humble slice of hot chicken heaven."

Blue Nest Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (31)

"Blue Nest is an eclectic, retro little shop that's inviting. It has a neighborhood feel and it's a place to cozy up if that's the mood. Their coffee is amazing, and the cappuccino was 10/10. They have holiday flavors too, burritos and other light bites. An added bonus is the unique art for sale, created by the owner/artist. What a gem in the Lakewood area."

High Country

★★★★☆ 4.1 (33)

"Great addition to Boulder and better than the sister restaurant, Gemini Service 4/5 but super kind and nice! Loved our waitress! Ambiance - 3/5Menu - 4/5 Location 5/5 Order:Green pork chili - 4/5Summit bowl - 5/5Smoke show cocktail - 3/5Because I said so mocktail - 5/5Crispy AF onion ring - 4/5"

Tony Tenderonis

★★★★☆ 4.3 (24) • $$

"Stopped by for a drink and snack before the Rockies game. I was a little hesitant about the price ($12 for 3 tenders??) but oh my goodness it was worth it. Those chickens tenders were GOOD. Our bartender was also great and it was a well put together vibe.There's also a bunch of games to play here! I would definitely take my friends back :) Great addition to the neighborhood."

Illegal Pete's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (33)

"My husband and I live in the area and have been looking forward to Golds marketplace filling in. We stopped in for lunch on the weekend but were happy to stumble into breakfast. We pivoted to a breakfast burrito for my husband and a bean/rice/egg/guacamole bowl for myself. We thought the flavors were solid and it was a good burrito. The space is nice to look over paramount park too. We will definitely be stopping in on a semi routine basis."
