The Most Delicious Sports Bars in Denver

Brickstones Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"This restaurant is inside the Embassy Suites by Hilton on the ground floor. Lots of different seating areas. Everyone of the seating areas including the bar has TV's that are playing the sports games. Well at least when I was here. I ordered the Colorado Bison Burger ($15) which is a 8 oz bison Patty that has balsamic res onions, roasted garlic aioli, shredded kale, frisse, radicchio, tomato, and Boulder goat cheese. It comes with your choice of Caesar salad, side house salad, Mac & cheese or french fries. My brother got the Sliced Sirloin Steak Platter ($25). It's a 6 oz. top sirloin, Korean BBQ mixed grains, choice of French fries, or Mac & cheese."

Hopper's Sports Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (65)

"The bartender was attentive and took orders quickly. I tried their Tommyknocker IPA (was a bit too hoppy for me) and the Avalanche Ale (wasn't as good as I've had in the past, but not bad and surprised they had beer from Breckenridge and Idaho Springs available). The jalapeno bacon cheeseburger wasn't bad. I really liked the jam on it and the jalapenos actually had some heat to them. The cream cheese was pretty basic and so was the bacon. It came out reasonably quick and the fries were decent also. We sat out back and the rest of the group watched a game, played volleyball, and played baggo. Prices were good and they have weekend happy hour also.I parked in the back because it was a bit of an awkward layout of you don't approach from the front. Try to park up front if you can."

El Tapatio

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (245) • $$

"The food was amazing and the service was great. Our food came out in a timely manner. The Michelada was excellent! I would definitely come back a second time."

Boombox Brew Bar

★★★★★ 4.8 (40) • $$

"A great local spot for drinks and food! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Fast and amazing service from Bree and Luke every time I come in! Definitely pay Boombox a visit! Great prices too!"

Swanky's Vittles And Libations

★★★★☆ 3.6 (156) • $

"As a Packer fan in Denver, Swanky's is one of those bars on rotation to watch games. It's hard to even say how I rate Swanky's because of so many pros/cons back-and-forth. It's a smaller bar so it fills up fast for many Packer games. Sometimes, though, this 2021 season where they had the best record in the NFL, it actually wasn't fully packed for each of the times I went. I wonder why?Well, as for me, I don't love the food options they have. It's very basic, boring bar food, which I just think they could do a little better on it. I realized they may not have a big kitchen but still, there are always ways to update the menu and make improvements. The DJ sometimes gets too DJ-happy and is playing, well blasting, the music when I want to hear what they are saying on TV with the football game. Like chill dude, we are here for the game not for the DJ. I really haven't touched all those slushies, because I just think they're probably going to be ridiculously loaded with gobs of sugar and I don't need that in my life or in my head the next day. I'll admit at least that I haven't tried to really say how they taste. Maybe one day I'll ask if I can sample one that doesn't seem too gross (to me personally). But, for those that like these types of drinks, this is the perfect bar for you as they have so, so many slushie options! The staff is usually pretty cool, at least the times I've gone they've been hardworking and attentive. With that said, a pet peeve and something I see in Denver A LOT is a wrong bill. I don't know what it is about this city, but you all need to check and keep and check your bills again, don't leave the receipt on the tables! I've caught so much. And let's get this straight, it should not be wrong in the first place by the establishment or staff - they are responsible for providing correct bills. The customer is not responsible. The last time I went the game-day specials were charged incorrectly and I paid an extra 10 dollars. I only counted the number of drinks and didn't realize until the next day looking at the receipt, the # of drinks was correct but price per drink wasn't. I had to go back to that area so brought it with me to stop back in and ask about it and hope to get it fixed. My same server was there but she wasn't sure what to do, another server chimed in and told me to talk to someone behind the bar. The first thing this guy had the nerve to tell me was to blame ME and say why didn't I see this the day of (mind you this was only a couple of days after). I barely got to start answering him and another guy came over to help, he turned around and was doing something and turned back around to hand me the $10 cash, which is a MUCH better way of handling the situation than foolish guy #1. I don't know Swanky's is just ok."

Esters Oneida Park

★★★★☆ 4.4 (296) • $$

"Yum! Good service and pizza and atmosphere! Ding ding ding! I've been to the other two location but something about this particular one seems ultra friendly! And I love the spacious area. Pizza is as tasty as the other locations. Bravo!"

Highland Tap and Burger

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1076) • $$

"Casual lunch in a welcoming restaurant with plenty of room and not much noise. Service was friendly and the food hot and tasty. The cauliflower nuggets were crispy and gluten free. A special treat for me. The sweet potato fries were crispy outside and soft inside. The best I've ever had!We hope to come back again on our next trip to Denver!"

The Monkey Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (43) • $

"The coolest local bar in town. Something is always happening at The Monkey Bar: karaoke nights, comedy, and recently they added a game room with ping pong, pool, and more! It's a great way to stay entertained, this place is super sweet"

Stoney's Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (580) • $$

"My friends and I came here to watch the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game. The TV setup was perfect for sports fans, with multiple screens showing a variety of games, which really elevated the experience.The food was average--not bad, but nothing special. Given how busy the place was, the service was decent, though understandably a bit slow.We ordered micheladas, but they didn't quite hit the mark. After talking to our waitress, she had the bartender make us another round, but they still weren't great. They definitely needed more Michelada mix to balance the flavor."

Congress Park Taproom

★★★★★ 4.5 (69) • $

"Great place for a group, couple or solo.This place has a huge drink menu with knowledgeable bartenders.Darts and other games to play while sippingThe downside is the limited food menu which is either a defrosted pretzel or defrosted pizza - although they do welcome food from outside being brought in."

Stoney's Uptown Joint

★★★★☆ 4.2 (196) • $$

""TOUCHDOWN STONEY'S"If you want to watch a sporting game out, go to Stoney's Uptown. It's like walking into a fishbowl of litty big-screen TVs, rowdy cheering fans, hustling servers, clinking draft beers and slinging bar food. You'll run into fans of your team and the other teams, but that is what makes the atmosphere fun! You'll get the thrill of looking at someone and with your eyes saying, "We are coming for you... on the _________!" (insert field, court, ring, horse, whatever event is on)Thanks to the Colts vs. Texans game, we discovered this. With a decent size party, I was curious how seating would work. Quickly, I learned there was no need to worry. It's open seating and there's lots of it, even a pretty big patio for a nice day. Our party easily found a spot in the fairly busy Stoney's. Our waitress may of been the MVP of the experience. She had a great sense of humor and handled our party of 12 with ease. She never missed a drink or food order, which always impresses me when you have a big party. There was a SHIP load of items ordered by our table. Maybe all the appetizers? Haha. I did not try them all, however, what caught my tastebuds the most was the Sweet Potato Fries. They had a sneaky blend of sugar, spice n' everything nice on them, and were the LEAD BACK who could have kept breaking my self-control. We'd definitely go back to Stoney's Uptown for a game!"

Olde Towne Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.8 (143) • $$

"Crazy and surprisingly awesome!My folks moved to the area and kept talking I a burger spot they found nearby. When I visited, they wanted to take me to it. Cool.Walking through Old Town Littleton and they pull me inside was I thought was just a random bar. Which I guess it kinda is. But holy cow.The burgers are awesome: nice sear with a juicy interior, fresh cut onions, crunchy pickles, crisp lettuce, and perfectly melted gooey cheese.Liked it so much we came back a couple days later and got their breakfast burger, which was just as good and had two perfectly runny eggs on it.Staff is quick and smiling throughout. Place is pretty clean and there's a ton of spots to sit at. Beer selection is solid.It's obvious there are numerous regulars, and I can definitely see why. I look forward to another delicious burger next time I'm in town."

Milwaukee Street Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.7 (166) • $$

"Great divvy place in the middle of cherry creek. Good bar food and always a great place to catch the games. Food is good. Service is great recommend coming to the bar. This place does get packed with people. Ambiance is great and homie. Always have specials for week days on beer or food and on the weekend have great discounts."

The 303 Sports Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (252) • $$

"Love this sports bar! Super friendly staff. Huge menu with a ton of great options. Perfect place to watch any game. They always have everything on. They have a ton of beers on tap and always have rotating beers. They have their regulars so that says a lot! Will definitely recommend and be back!"

Skyline Pub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48) • $$

Tap and Burger Westminster

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (156) • $$

"The food was good (ordered the smashburger) but unfortunately rude service outweighed all the good. I went with co workers for a team lunch. I have to warn everyone they charge for basic condiments here. Literally 75 cents for mayo. If they had let me know I wouldn't have had an issue it was the lack of knowledge about that.Will not be returning. When I mentioned that to the server she became verbally aggressive and extremely rude."

Long Shots Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (127) • $$

"Probably the best dive bar in the metro with a party in the front, business in the back kind of vibe. Pro Tip - Order the Pho!"

Skippy's Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (65) • $$

"Everything about this place is amazing ! It's clean it's friendly it's airy and has many tvs the patio is cute too they have video games and amazing food I have tried many things there and it's always good ! But to top it all off I'd the staff ! They are the nicest most efficient and beautiful servers ever I have compassion for my handicap group. I bring in there unannounced and huge groups, and they handle us with ease and kindness. They are very accurate with their checks and refilling drinks. I have a special place for Lindsey the sweetest little waitress that was not concerned about her tip as much as she was helping my special needs group, I adore her and today while I was there, I got the pleasure of meeting Brigette who is also amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone please go give it a try."

Tower Tap & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3 (255) • $$

"Stopped here at 9:00 pm for a late dinner hoping that we could score a good meal even though the ratings online were not that great. The place was awesome! Our server, Jin, recommended a great beer (the Denver Gold) based on our preferences. The food was delicious! The sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp and salty. The carnita tacos are delicious, and just like Jin said, no fat to mess around with! Everything was great and great portions. Highly recommend."

Society Sports And Spirits

★★★★★ 4.5 (314) • $$

"Absolutely love this cute little spirit store. I like that it's downstairs so there's not too much traffic being upstairs in downtown Denver. The staff was absolutely amazing. We went to their business three times during our trip. They were very kind in opening our minds and giving us suggestions on different types of liquor to buy and how to make the drinks. I also want to give them a big ups for having an extremely clean facility. It smelt good in there. The music was amazing. And the prices were beyond appropriate. Especially for being downtown on St. Patrick's Day weekend."

Paradise Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.1 (92) • $$

"This restaurant is a hidden gem with a diverse menu! This is a sports bar, bakery with Indian cuisine.We came on Wednesday night and they were pretty busy. Perhaps it was because they were broadcasting the first hockey game of the season. Overall the service was very good. Their menu offers a wide variety of items, ranging from chicken wings to butter chicken, with homemade desserts to finish.We ordered the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and cheese kulcha, and everything was bursting with flavor. The samosas were perfectly crispy, and the mint chutney added a refreshing touch of flavor.The chicken tikka masala had a rich, creamy sauce. The naan and kulcha were the perfect complement. Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic and flavorful dishes!"

Jackson's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (300) • $$

"My happy LODO place pre Rockies baseball game. Nice bar area to mingle in, spacious rooftop bar, and cozy outdoor patio. Staff is courteous, helpful - and gosh dang it - pretty cool. Street tacos a must and the requisite Coors Light (when in Rome) to wash them down. This midwestern boy on his own for a few days from MN to watch baseball found a second home."

Steamer's Coffeehouse & Jack's Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (258) • $$

State House 38

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (181) • $$

"Was a little worried after reading reviews, but we stayed at Airbnb in Commerce City and had zero energy after a long day of driving. So we gave it a shot...And I'm so glad we did! Service was prompt and attentive, environment is casual and not too loud, menu is extensive enough for everyone to pick something, price was reasonable. I got beef stroganoff and husband had chicken fried steak. It was yummy and portions are large. They have kids menu for $6 (nothing special there but was happy I could feed my 2 kids for $6 each) I had a really good time and good experience there, highly recommend. Thank you!"

Mint Indian Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.2 (494) • $$

"Review of Mint Indian Restaurant and LoungeI recently dined at Mint Indian Restaurant & Lounge while attending a conference at a nearby hotel, and I must say, the experience was delightful. The ambiance of the place is simple yet comfortable, complemented by pleasant background music that enhances the dining experience without being intrusive.Upon arrival, the host was very welcoming, offering recommendations that did not disappoint. The vegetable samosas were a perfect start - crispy on the outside with a flavorful, well-spiced filling. I usually go with meat samosas as the vegetable ones have in the past been a little bland. Nope, not these, they were very good. The butter chicken was delicious, having a rich and creamy sauce and plenty of tender chicken. The sauce was so delicious, I found myself sopping up the sauce with the naan bread throughout the meal. For me what set Mint apart was the service - fast, friendly, and efficient. The staff's attentiveness and professionalism added greatly to the overall enjoyment of the meal. In summary, Mint Indian Restaurant & Lounge offers a delightful experience with its combination of delicious food, inviting ambiance, and excellent service. It's a place I would gladly revisit and recommend to others looking for some tasty Indian cuisine."

Reiver's Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (195) • $$

"Solid spot for brunch, lunch or dinner. Their spicy Paloma is delicious! Today I had the California Turkey sandwich which was perfection. My boyfriend had the biscuits and gravy which he loved (the biscuits were heavenly!)."

Mudrock's Tap & Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.5 (110) • $$

"I eat here occasionally and have always gotten good service and good food. The servers are always cheerful and enthusiastic. This is primarily a sports bar but they also have some booths along one wall, and a variety of sandwiches, salads, and Mexican food; also the Biscuit Bar is now located here and you can order lots of yummy biscuit dishes (until 2 PM). My favorites here are the Wild BBQ Burger, the B.L.A.T. (bacon lettuce avocade and tomato, although I always hold the avocado so it's a delicious BLT), and the chicken burrito. From the Biscuit Bar menu I like the Denver Scramble (eggs scrambled with ham, and potatoes and a biscuit) and the Mudrock's Big Breakfast (a sampler). Their biscuits are huge and dense and almost a meal in themselves; they are served split and grilled. I've also had the cinnamon roll, which is fresh baked and yummy; it is medium sized, so it's a good dessert."

The Dam Grille

★★★★☆ 3.8 (173) • $$

"They lure you in with a buy one get one free offer but then require you to purchase an highly overpriced drink, so its not worth the hassle. The food was fresh and hot but nothing special, just regular bar food. The foul odor of stale cigarette smoke hits you in the face as you walk in like being kicked in the face by an MMA fighter. Although the bartender was polite and friendly and apologized for the stink."

Wyman's No 5

★★★★☆ 3.6 (299) • $$

"Wyman's has become my favorite watering hole! It's a Chicago sports bar with lots of TVs, 2 pool tables & a kitchen that serves up delicious thin crust pizza, deep dish, Chicago dogs & hoagies. It kinda has a dive bar feel too, which is my jam! They have daily food specials Mon-Thurs and they have happy hour twice daily.. and they even serve single slices late night! Chelsea the bartender is my favorite, she's sweet & so fun.. and she goes out of her way to make sure everyone is having a good time (even remembered us after our first time there). Mike & Sam are great too!The place is actually pretty spacious enough to be a bar & restaurant. There's 2 sides of the bar with probably 20ish barstools & like 15 tables. The pizza was on point! $22 for a large thin crust supreme pizza & it hit the spot, I loved the fresh jalapenos. I can't wait to try the other items. Wymans is my new go to.. while I love playing pool at Don's, it gets too crowded with 21 year olds & Wymans just has a better vibe & older crowd! Aaaand delicious food!!"

The DNVR Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (33)

"I read a lot of reviews that were less than positive. Frankly, I don't get it. I had superior service while I was here. The beers were cold and they had a solid tap list. My food, the Forsburger was pretty freaking tasty. Yeah, it came in at medium well when I had asked for medium rare, but it still was delicious. The onion rings as my side were quite tasty. Yes, I used to really enjoy the 3 Lions that was here, and I still miss it. But, this is a worthy successor to the space. There are a lot of sports bars around, but this one is doing a very nice job of it."

Parrott's Sports Grille

Legends of Aurora Sports Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (290) • $$

"This is my favorite place for chicken pot pie-the best! I was one of the first to come in this morning because I had a craving for chicken pot pie and had just received an e-mail club coupon of $10. I had the choice of seating and Micke was my server. So bubbly, friendly and welcoming. Got my chicken pot pie in less than 15 minutes and so delicious!I had a craving too for fried pickles but they no longer have it on the regular menu but they made them for me! Top-notch customer service!"

The Grandview Tavern and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3 (167) • $$

"Popped in for a quick bite with the family. It's clean, it's got history and character, the hot wings were very good, the draft beer was cold. The service was attentive. It was the perfect little pub experience."
