My Brother's Bar

My brothers bar is Denver's oldest continuously operating bar since 1873! This spot holds so much history, and the welcoming vibe makes every visit special. The staff always goes above and beyond, creating such a great experience! What I ordered: A double cheeseburger with American cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, half fries, half onion rings, and a red ale to top it off. Best Bite: Sometimes, simplicity wins. In a world of smashed burgers and fancy bistro patties, this classic cheeseburger shines. The flavors hit just right and it's a perfect reminder of why sometimes, the classics are unbeatable!

Great burgers. Great onion rings. Great fries. This is not a fancy place. It's great food served fast and delicious. We've been coming here for decades. It has never disappointed. Not once. Side note- Bar area is super noisy when busy. Ask for the dining room or outside patio if you're not up for that.

When I'm craving a juicy, sloppy, flavorful burger I come here. They just do it right. I've never actually eaten here. So the fact that I'm raving about a "to-go" burger says a lot. All in all, if you're eating here. Get a burger.

Very cool spot, and apparently the oldest continually operating bar in all of Denver, having opened in 1873. Not sure what they did during prohibition, but probably served burgers. The staff is wonderful, and the food is great. There's a good number of options, but it is pretty standard bar fare, so if you're looking for something fancy, it's not the spot. There's also a pretty decent happy hour, and even without it the prices are good (considering the current state of the prices of stuff)... It's situated a couple of short blocks from the flagship REI store, as well as the river walking paths on the Platt. Definitely worth a try.

Went in for a burger but ended up with a hotdog and beer. It satisfied my hunger and thirst. Coming here reminded me of when I used to hang out in this area. I'd stop by after Pokemon hunting for some nice refreshing beer. It's a nice old bar that kept its original appeal. The server was nice and engaging and nice to talk to.

I've walked past this spot a dozen times and finally caved (they were selling girl scout cookies). Onion rings are one of the finer things in this life in my humble opinion and My Brothers Bar does them right. We did a 50/50 fry/onion ring split which I don't regret since the fries were good too but next time i'd go full on onion rings in the largest size they're willing to serve. I can't wait to come back for a burger or dog but until then i'll be dreaming of my reunion with those sweet crispy rings. Staff is cool, friendly and to the point. Decor is oh so fitting with old school original menus and pictures of this place back in its heyday. Sweet spot check it out.

Ridiculously glad I stumbled upon this gem of a spot due to a local field trip. Would not have noticed this hole in a wall kind of spot otherwise. Ordered take away to eat by the river and asked Rachel (super nice) how long it would be, and she told me 30 minutes due to the field trip of 25. I came back in 35 and she had it packed and ready for me :) Johnny's Burger = real good burger oozing with goodness!!! Even the onions on the side were good, which I can't really say the same for most burger places.Onion Rings = hands down best onion rings I've ever had. Despite the poor Canadian to American exchange right now. I felt like the burger and "large" onion rings (small would have left me wanting more) was worth every penny in my humble opinion. Will definitely come back again the next time I'm in Denver and craving burgers.

Stepping in to My Brothers Bar is a Denver history lesson all in itself. Opened in 1873 by Italian immigrants along an old stagecoach route, the original bar and tin ceiling speak loudly of the 19th Century.We sat at the bar -- I highly recommend it for the experience and entertainment of interacting with the very friendly bartenders, servers and other patrons. It's a welcoming place. Probably leftover from its original days where bars were more like community centers, teaching the newly arrived how to live in their new world.I had the Moisha (a reuben with a slightly different sauce), husband had cheeseburger and we shared onion rings. All were very good. The Moisha's pastrami had thick slices of meat that was a welcome change -- though not even sauerkraut for me (but I love LOTS of kraut!). Both the burger and rings were eaten with dispatch! We will return!

Among my favorite spots to visit when in Denver. Always at a very reasonable price, I can get a wonderful burger and beer. The terrace outside is very serene and calm.

When something has been around for multiple lifetimes, they must be doing something right. That's also a piece of history I want to be a part of. Arriving on a hot summer day this was the perfect place to stop for cold refreshing inexpensive draft beer. Food prices were reasonable especially the classic burger which they are known for. The food was prepared quickly and was delivered with a giant condiment caddy with all the burger fixings that included onions, pickles, peppers, relish and more. Such a clever idea so you can prepare your burger to your liking. I'm glad I stopped in to this 150 years old institution. Wish I would have inquired more about its history. Next time!Enjoy!!
