We had a great time at recess! Sat outside and watched the opening game of the nfl season. We had really nice cool weather had cover over our heads in case of rain! We got the Buffalo chicken wrap and the lemon pepper wings. Both were spot on! The tater tots were crunchy and salty! The wings were tender and had a nice little crisp to them. They needed a bit more seasoning/flavor but the integrity of the wing was 5/5. The wrap was bangin! Not too spicy, had some greens for crunch and the cut up chicken was a nice touch! We had bar service but there were no lines so we got our drinks and food very quickly! Definitely will be back

Great patio vibe on a Friday afternoon/night! Good food! 2 points...1 - top the nachos better! 2 layers of toppings will do! Great toppings but too many bare chips!2 - For $6 extra, I need more chicken on my cesear salad! Taste was phenomenal though!Fun tourist visit :)

Love the ambiance here, clean areas, great music, love the heaters when it's a cold morning or just in general certainly a nice to have. Also TVs everywhere displaying the various sport games on. They have great drinks here as well so definitely will come back for them! And of course your doggos are welcomed here! Plenty of seating options here and the waitress we had (shoutout to Lisa) was amazing and she even brought us a pup cup for our doggo Wookie, which was really sweet of her! She also had great customer service in general, especially for how busy it was when we arrived here. Parking is on the street as a heads up, if it gets really busy it may be hard to find somewhere close/right next to the restaurant but still not a crazy bad walk or too far especially on a nice day! 4/5 because the food prices (specifically for the appetizers) are overpriced for the sizing you get and overall texture/flavor of their appetizers, the few pretzel bites we ordered was $14 which was like barely anything and just not that great tasting in general.

Best place to be!The surrounding area has so many restaurants so I stopped by here before and after eating dinner.Drinks were great! Got a Moscow mule, and it went down smooth. The bartenders and security were very friendly and outgoing.I think Recess has one of the best outdoor seating areas I've been to - it beats a lot of places downtown and in other cities. Would definitely come back.

Such a fun area to meet with friends for day drinking. I also heard the night life is fun as well. There is plenty of patio seating for a nice day. The staff were very kind and quick even though it was so busy. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap that was quite delicious. I didn't have any of their cocktails but they looked interesting!

Our waitress was good. The decor/ambiance was fun. The food was just mediocre. Definitely more of a place to go hang out and drink. It was pouring outside so we didn't get to play any of the games or anything :(

We grabbed a few drinks at Recess and had an awesome time! They have a great outdoor space with plenty of room and enough shade. Bar staff were friendly and we were able to get our drinks fast. Definitely recommend coming here when the weather is nice.

A beer garden with great space and friendly service! Docked a star because the food is hit or miss. The space includes an awesome tiered outdoor space that's great for large groups to hang out and enjoy drinks. Smaller indoor space with a couple of tables and the bar. Drink options are diverse and include good cocktails.Half of the group enjoyed the food, the other half felt it was only okay. The chicken caesar wrap was tasty but very simple (mainly lettuce and caesar dressing). The fish and chips were a solid choice too. They load up the side with crunchy, flavorful fries though which is a big plus. The people who didn't enjoy their meals as much ordered the french dip and cuban.Overall, a great place to hang out, but eating before/after is your best bet.

I was surprisingly charmed by this beer garden on a recent March Madness outing. While it can definitely get crowded, there's a lot of different seating options throughout the property and I felt like there were good food / drink offerings.Parking can be a bit of a bear, so keep that in mind! Might be better to Lyft.

Recess' concept is one of a kind. The spacious outdoor seating (or should I call it a patio area) that is shared with the restaurant right next to it makes this place (and the other place) so unique. This symbiotic arrangement can be seen at other restaurants in the Denver area but this is the special feature that attracts many to this eatery. I know you can't really sit outside in the dead winter but the warm temperatures are still lingering (as of the writing of this review, late September of 2024.) Take advantage of this as long as the weather allows you to do so. Friendly staff members are what you might notice first as you will most likely be greeted by one of them upon arriving. I was at this restaurant today for a training session for my second job. The food was paid for by my company and was served as a buffet style. The fresh green salad had all kinds of of green in it along with slices of tomatoes. All the ingredients were beautifully placed in a large bowl for us 12 to eat. French fries and sweet potato fries were exceptionally tasty but what I was impressed the most were the portobello mushroom wraps. Spinach leaves, avocado and mushroom were marinated in some sort of sauce/dressing (a bit salty to my liking but it tasted so good.) This item is, of course, on the regular menu (Grilled Portobello Wrap $15 Grilled marinated portobello mushroom, spinach, avo-chimmichurri sauce, diced tomatoes, wrapped in a spinach tortilla are the ingredients.) Aha, avocado chimmichurri sauce!! Now I know what that was. This is a must order item off the menu.
