Great atmosphere, and drinks, the staff are friendly. I always get the honey stung chicken. It seems the recipe has changed over the years; it used to be more of a country fried steak battered chicken, not its more of a tempura batter, kind of like an orange chicken batter (without the orange sauce) but still good.

I love this place! I always seem to get the same wonderful waitress named Megan, and she is the sweetest person, and she remembered me, too! Great wings! Great Cobb! Excellent shoestring fries, too! Lots of gluten free options!!

Great restaurant with excellent food options and a wide selection of drinks and juices. The prices are reasonable, and the service is good. I had the burger, which was very tasty. I appreciated the customization options, which I think is a standout feature. My only suggestion is to make the burger patty slightly smaller to make it easier to eat with hands without needing utensils. The sweet potato side was very good; I highly recommend ordering it. I really enjoyed the ambiance, the decor, and the music.

I haven’t been to The Hornet in a LONG time (probably 15 years). I love what they’ve done! The atmosphere feels inclusive and I love all of the natural light from the windows along the street. We went for brunch on Sunday morning. I *REALLY* love that they have a drink menu that includes non-alcoholic choices! I chose the chorizo breakfast tacos for brunch, and they did not disappoint. I plan to return for a casual Sunday brunch in the future!

This was our first time here. Great French Press coffee and the Chialian coffee was amazing!
The food was amazing! We will definitely be coming back.
Best experience ever! 11.99$ Monday deals is incredible! We ordered penne bolognese and carbonara. They are delicious, as well as Caesar salad. Definitely will be back!
Best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever had! I’ll be dreaming about it for a while. The vibe of the place is super unique and fun and the food feels so authentic and delicious. We got dessert to go, too, which was incredible. The chocolate hazelnut cake was Devine. My only complaint is I didn’t find it sooner on our trip so we could go twice! If I’m ever back to Denver I’ll be making a reservation ASAP.
Great romantic and homey atmosphere! The bread was delicious and so was the food. Highly recommend the muscles. The sauce was amazing! Staff were very friendly as well.
Odyssey Italian is a staple on 6th. Housed in a funky old house Odyssey serves large portions of basic classic Italian dishes. Prices are reasonable…just don’t expect mind blowing dishes. Great for a casual date or taking the whole family out. Their health score isn’t the best but I haven’t noticed anything

Parking is tough

Make reservations as its very popular
Thirsty Lion was a perfect stop for dinner. There were beer flight options. This was a nice find without going to a brewery. The kitchen is a from scratch kitchen and the food was perfect pub food that was elevated. Would definitely go back for more!
We booked 16 people for a business dinner. They were so nice and accommodating! We showed up 15 min early and they already had our table set up and ready to go. The menu was wonderful with a large variety of options. We were surprised how quickly the food came out with such a large group. Everyone in our group raved about how good the food was and were so pleased with their choices. This was the best experience we have ever had with a restaurant when booking for a business dinner with a large group. Will definitely be returning anytime we’re in Denver.
Me and the husband trekked over to union station to the Thirsty Lion in search of some good appetizers. Guess what? We got them!

The beer battered cheese curds were sublime. The spicy chicken sliders were delish, and even impressed my husband who is a strict Dave’s Hot Chicken man. The qinoua Brussel arugula salad would benefit from sitting in the dressing a little longer or being a little more heavily salted to soften up those darn Brussels a bit, but it was delicious.

The bartenders were awesome and super on top of it. The rap selection was great!

Generally I’m not much of a sports bar person but it was not overly loud (my general complaint).

Over all we had a great time anchored will definitely go back!
Very easy to get to from union Station, you can even find 3$ parking near by in one of the buildings across from union! Our server, Kayla, was Johnny on the SPOT! bringing drinks and apps with speed. The meals came out shortly after with notice to an allergy so props for that. The view, the food and the service are well worth it.

Wonderful experience. Buffalo Bill's bison 🦬 burger and sweet potato fries. Everything was to perfection. The patio was beautiful today.
We were recommended to eat here and were not very impressed... the staff was very nice and the restaurant was overall nice. But the food was quite disappointing. The prices were definitely on the higher end for the quality that we received. Everything was just okay, nothing was great that we would recommend. The Spinach dip was very small, the clam chowder tasted like bacon, the fries were flavorless. And they charged a 3% fee for staff hiring? Never seen such a thing, very off-putting when the bill came after a disappointing experience. Would definitely go somewhere else next time.

Delicious gnocchi! Mondays are a great pasta deal day, and the menu had solid vegetarian options. Definitely make a reservation and know the service may be a bit slow. Reiterate any allergies or restrictions as it can get very busy.
Good happy hour spot right next to Union Station! The food is decent for a pub, the appetizers are much better than the entrees though. We especially liked the Cheese Curds. My only complaint is that the Szechuan orange chicken lack the heat.

Cool spot... I ordered my burger with none of the fixings but came out with everything so had to pull those off.... Ordered my burger with bacon and the green chili pozole... The pozole was pretty watery so not the best as a burger topping but good as a cup of soup or dipping fries in.
Stopped in for a quick shake for the kiddo on a light exploration day downtown. Decided to try to sweet potato fries as well. Servings were HUGE! Got two and one was more than enough for two people. They were really good and favor full. Mini shake was the perfect size for my daughter. Pricing was decent for the location. Plan to make it back to try more!
Warm, intimate Italian restaurant in an old home with a very cozy four-person bar. Walked into a Monday $12 pasta deal by accident so that may have changed how much time we had the table for (they were busy with reservations so only had an hour to eat.) Service was good but a little chaotic. Many people towards the end at the table all sort of rushing around us to get things cleaned for dinner. No ones fault, just came on a busy day. I got the bolognese and upgraded to pappardelle. The sauce was very good, but the noodles were overworked and just falling apart as I ate them. The carbonara was more of an alfredo, and I did not enjoy it. We’ll be back when we have more time to savor the atmosphere and try some more menu items.
Went in last night for burgers and shakes. Was told shake machine was too runny so we couldn’t have ice cream. Which was disappointing. Then our burgers came. The bison burger was basically raw. My husband didn’t touch it at all. My burger, the Diablo, had a few sad looking jalapeños and the bottom ends of peepers on top covered in seeds. I’ve had this burger before and this was the worst ever. Mine was also very raw in the center. On top of that it took almost 20 mins to get these burgers and there were only a couple people at the bar so the restaurant wasn’t packed. Very disappointed in our visit especially considering we always frequent here. The fries were the only thing that were alright but those too had way too much green onion and truffle oil.
Thirsty Lion was able to accommodate a party of seven on an early Saturday evening. The first thing we noticed was the loud music playing throughout the restaurant. What was louder were the people talking over the music which made it very difficult to hear folks at our table.
We started with cocktails, and roasted gluten free Brussels sprouts due to a gluten sensitive person in our party. The Brussels sprouts were delicious but had pasta mixed in and were cross contaminated. Fortunately, the person with gluten allergies noticed before taking a bite. We mentioned it to our wait person and the Brussels sprouts were removed from our check.
Dinner consisted of Jalapeño burger, cheese burger, chicken avocado sandwich, tacos, and kids ordered chicken tenders. The burgers were delicious, especially the spicy jalapeño burger. The tenders were crunchy and also delicious.
The food was great, but the very noisy atmosphere made the overall experience a disappointment.
They got a new menu and the prices are drastically lower, love that about this place hence prices raising everywhere else!!
We came on a Monday for $12 pasta, which is a great deal! Along with the pasta, you also get bread (with olive oil/balsamic) and a Caesar salad. The pasta was classic and delicious. Our server was nice, but he definitely seemed busy running back and forth, so it was difficult to get water refilled/get the check.

My only complaint was the atmosphere. The restaurant is in a historic home, and we sat on the second floor, in a small room. There was a group of 4 and another couple in the room. It was SO LOUD. The larger group was a rowdy bunch and spent most of the dinner shouting loudly across the table. I couldn’t hear most of what my fiancé was saying across our small table. We tried to get out of the restaurant as fast as possible because of how loud and uncomfortable it was, unfortunately.
Almost did 4 stars because of the food wait, but the sizing per pricing made up for it. Everything is huge. The poutine fries were 🤌🏽 the chimichurri sauce was surprisingly good and flavorful. Yes, that’s giant chunks of steak on top. The trash can lid (I think is the name) could feed 3 people. The sourdough bread was so good that I was I got it on the side to savor. Dark meat chicken was moist and well coated. The beer gravy doesn’t taste like beer but it does taste delicious. Chicken sandwich was also good size and flavor. Expect to drop some cash here, but this place gives “hipster dream first date” eclectic.

Super cute!! Came for Brunch on a Sunday. Loved the recommendation from the bartender. Her Bloody Mary was on point too!
We went to Revival Denver Public House for dinner on Valentine's Day and the experience was perfect. We ordered the Pickle Chips for an appetizer and shared the Catfish & Grits for our meal...both were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. For drinks, I went with the dirty martini and my wife had the Inside Sweater...both delicious. We highly recommend visiting here and you can get a buy one menu item, get one free offer with the Eat+Drink Denver Pass.

Great vibe!
New to the area, glad there's a cool dive close by! Tell Ruben what's up from me!

Hangover tots are crazy!!! 🤌🏼
Are here visiting Union station while in Denver and it was an excellent experience! Very neat environment and they play music with the music videos on TVs and the playlist was on point! The food was excellent and all four of us loved the food and drinks too! Not a single bad thing any of us can say here! Try it all, the fried cauliflower and calamari was a great start!

The food was amazing, beer on tap was fresh. The atmosphere was a vibe, such cool art, and style. Service went above and beyond. Was down from Canada, randomly found it, and would suggest 10/10. (Got a salad, mac and cheese, and chicken fingers, all were top notch, I was skeptical of a salad at a bar, but it was great.) Will be hitting it next time I come down.

Legitimately, one of the best burgers I’ve had in my ENTIRE life. I feel as if I’ve just reached Nirvana. The flavors them selves guided me through the pearly gates and welcomed me with open arms. I did not know, one meal alone, was the path to enlightenment.

My company orders from this Qdoba location on Market, at least once a month for catering. The experience is always a wonderful one. Kristen and Archie are so nice and accommodating every time we place an order. They make us feel like we are important to them and a valuable customer.
Not only do I look forward to the delicious food showing up, but I also look forward to seeing Kristen when she delivers it. She's such an amazing and sweet lady.
This place is SO SO fantastic! Our server was a doll and so accommodating and lovely to interact with. One person in our party had a couple food sensitivities, and she remembered them throughout the entire service whenever she ordered another cocktail or food item. The cocktails are delicious. Food is to die for. Most of the items we got were spicy, so be sure to ask about that if you don't like spice. Get the bread pudding! And the poutine! And crab cakes. Best to go with a large group and everyone order different items so you can try them all :) If you're a vegetarian, the mushroom toast was phenomenal as well. Highly recommend! I can't wait to go back!
Revival Denver Public House is such a cute place with great food and drinks! I've been here twice now and both times I truly had a good time with good eats. Their drinks are also top notch.
Best vegetarian burger. Nice and crispy yet tasty. Tried vegetarian burger with pepper jack cheese and also Diablo with vegetarian patty, both versions are great. Diablo is very spicy. French fries are nice and crispy. Would definitely recommend for vegetarians. Not too many choices, but what they have is tasty and plenty.

Right next to the Union Station, street parking is available nearby.
We order monthly from this location and Kristen C. always delivers our food and puts a smile on our face. She's so kind and sweet and always does a great job at setting up our lunch. Thank you Kristen!

Popped into this top-notch burger spot in central Denver. Brilliant location, loads of tasty burger options, great drinks, friendly staff. Best bit? Surprisingly good prices for downtown Denver. Definitely worth a visit!

Had my fiancé’s birthday here and the owner Butch and the whole staff were super welcoming and accommodating! The food is very fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is fun and unlike any other bar in Denver. Very gluten-free friendly. Highly recommend!
Amazing burger with various flavors. Tried Diablo chicken burger which was delicious and it was spiciest one I have had so far. Friendly service and good ambiance. The hand cut fries were good too but a lot on salty end. Will highly recommend to visit!

Sad to write. I loved this place, but a 70 dollar lunch has me thinking this is my last visit. Staff was great, but how much does it really cost to have fries included. I know it’s hard for restaurants these days… but also hard to be a consumer.

Of all the places we went in Denver, this was hands down the best spot we went to. The owner, Butch, is so knowledgeable about bourbons and tequilas and has led us add so many new spirits to our list. If you want a great neighborhood bar with great people and a great atmosphere, this is your spot.

Love this places overall.. but 1st time here on a Tuesday and happened to be karaoke.
There is a 1/2 half off all tequila & $3.50 Budweiser

Unfortunately the bartenders won't tell you that and that is unfortunate and sad
Otherwise this place is super fun.

Supposed to be an inclusive bar, but I have never felt welcomed there. Literally just had lime wedges and tooth picks put in my hair. Thanks for making everyone feel welcome there, or who you choose should be welcomed there.

Came here on Halloween with my partner while doing a ghost tour since we’re from out of state. The bar was amazing. Always Halloween themed. Staff always made sure we were good on our beverages or anything. All in all. Great experience in and out. Drinks we’re good and food was amazing. Definitely try the sliders or the mac and cheese. Best I’ve ever had

The food and service is what really got us. The service was amazing they came by our table and checked up on us consistently. The food was so good I personally got the Mac and cheese w/ chicken and it was delicious, My partner got the sliders and he said it was delicious too. We came here on Halloween night and the atmosphere was awesome.

Just wanted to let everyone know this place is the best. Everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is just so chill. Andrea did a fantastic job making my bowl and she was honestly just the nicest person ever. Her and Angie made me feel very welcomed in the store and they got me everything I needed super fast. I was in and out in a jiffy 🫶🏻
This place is awesome! Super chill vibe and the food? So many choices, you can't go wrong. The drink menu is on point too. But the rooftop is where it's at—great for kicking back and they've even got TVs up there. Def coming back, 5/5!
We had lunch there today and Tyler was the only one behind the bar. She was the only one working and the service was exceptional. The lower level was very busy and she did a great job of attending to everyone’s needs professionally and in a timely manner despite that fact that is was overwhelming. I even asked her if she owned the place because she ran it like she did, she put so much thought into her responses to everyone that made her stand out. Highly recommend this place and hope you get Tyler as your server/bartender - she was excellent!!
I am a Door Dasher and I never have to wait for my orders at this store. The staff is so friendly and they always make my burritos fully loaded and delicious. I highly recommend for quick, delicious food at a reasonable price.

I recently visited X bar and had an absolute blast! The atmosphere was welcoming and inclusive, with great house music. The drinks were delicious and reasonably priced too, the bar tenders are all super cute and have tonz of "rizz!" It's definitely a must-visit spot for a fun night out with friends, gay straight or anywhere in between! I love it there!!

We just happened upon this small eatery that has a different kind of vibe. Not necessarily for the geriatric generation.
The music is sort of jazz and zombie like.
The bartender also our waited was very friendly but slow on the uptake. He was not in any kind of hurry.
Took our order while sitting at our table.
The main bathroom floor was very very sticky, ewwww.
Food was plentiful and delicious.
Might be worth a stop in should you have time to spare.
Not child friendly in my opinion.

I haven’t tried their food yet, but I definitely plan to at some point. awesome neighborhood bar.

Use to be one of my favorite spots, but unfortunately, it became bit pricey , and the quality of service went down. Use to love their Ahi tuna bowl , fried curds and fried pickles , their burgers were very good. It became understaffed that you don't have the patience to wait for drinks or food. You just wanna go somewhere else. Use to be a Good spot for families, couples , for college students night-out.
Classy but unpretentious restaurant/bar with primarily Italian-based cuisine. Our server Megan was simply excellent, prompt, friendly, informative and professional. Stuffed mushrooms were scrumptious and rigatoni with Italian sausage was wonderful, with just the right kick at the end. Smooth rye old-fashioned to start and zesty Montepulciano with meal. Very pleasant dining experience.
I really liked the decor here. Nice woodwork and the historic pictures. Upstairs seating outside was great, view was alright. Qr code order, had menus and could order in person at the bar. Grab yourself service. The korean chicken sandwhich was great and unique. View was alright. Staff was accommodating.

The food was ordinary. We noticed that the burger patties weren’t cooked consistently. One was well done and another was medium rare. I chose the classic burger to turn into a bowl. The patty was dry and hard. Thank goodness for ketchup. The salad wasn’t the most interesting either, instead reminding me of a McDonald’s-esque flavour.

Been here a few times, super chill spot to hang out at. Great food and music. Eric is the best, he really took care of my partner and I and we had great conversation with him.
Lovely patio for a summertime dinner! We really liked their Pork Osso Buco and Rigatoni pasta. Our only complaint was the heat level on the Banh Mi sandwich. The Sriracha to Hoisin sauce ratio in the spicy mayo was so unbalanced it truly killed the umami flavor. Everything else was really tasty! We will be back!
This was just a delightful dining experience. We went for a late brunch. Legit Maryland crabs, peel and eat shrimp, mussels and awesome Brussels sprouts. We spent several hours enjoying everything. Great service too! We will be back (and back and back)

We came here for a quick light lunch before our meetings started. Seemed like a good local place people can come and relax with simple food. Chicken wings were OK and my wife had lettuce wraps. Service was friendly and efficient.
Upscale tavern offering many upscale food options. Large seating area with outside tables too. Extensive tequila and mezcal selection. Had the pan seared salmon at Cilantro which was excellent.
What a lovely restaurant! There was a guitarist playing Spanish style guitar music the night my work colleagues & I had dinner. Several menu options sounded really tasty.

The food was delicious & service was speedy. I got a side salad & petit filet & frites. My steak was cooked just right.

The ambience of the restaurant has an indoor yet outdoor feel with the plants & high ceilings & skylights. Just lovely.

Would definitely eat here again.

A wonderful gay bar/club. I love the patio. It's great to hang and dance outside. Lots of seats. Wonderful late night food. Much smaller inside so a little harder to dance, but still good vibes.
Monday nights are pasta nights for $10. MAKE A RESERVATION. Very small unique restaurant. ALL of their food is phenomenal. Their fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken is fantastic. I recommend their manicotti. The lobster mushrooms are great, but not worth the price.
A lovely place for a date night. Everyone in Denver must visit.

I really loved X bar, it has an amazing patio, the patio even has some relaxing couches. You can relax on with your friends.

The inside is even prettier, especially the upstairs dance platform , the decorations were amazing and beautiful. It is a must hit bar if you are in Denver.
We visited Revival Denver Public House for the first time on a Sunday to have brunch and see some live music. The restaurant was set up perfectly to do both! We got bottomless mimosas for $20 - a great deal, and definitely lived up to their name. I would highly recommend both the Chicken and Waffles and the Hangover Burger (pictured). The staff was welcoming, excellent, and very nice. We met the owner and his wife and they were also wonderful people and were very welcoming. There is a very homey feeling in this place and we will definitely be back for more music and food events!
Denver is such an amazing city. Throw in a great establishment like Logan Street Restaurant & Bar (aka Governor’s Park Tavern) and it’s even better. Enjoying perfect weather, patio seating, excellent appetizers, drinks and a great staff. Always a must stop when in Denver.
I thought it would be just okay but it was great! For a Sunday evening it had a great atmosphere and the food (as a latina) was very tasty! Just watch out for the spice guys, they don’t play.

This was the BEST Mule I have ever tasted.
Service was great. Fun atmosphere. We didn't eat just had drinks.
We didn’t eat here but we came for the “swiftinis” before the concert on Friday. It was so fun seeing all the swifties in the restaurant. The service was great and I was so happy to see they carried casa asul tequila. We had a swiftini and a shot and proceeded to the concert. We had a great experience at this place! Good service and good drinks!
Came here for an early happy hour. The staff was really nice & helpful. The fried chicken sandwich was good. The dry rub wings, to me, had waaaay too much paprika. Like, tons. The crab pretzel was good, but it needs some kind of sauce with it otherwise it gets kinda dry. They have few beer options. During our visit, they had no seasonal options rotating (even though they lost the option) & a couple on their menu were out.

Device is good sometimes this place get far to packed to dance or watch a drag show inside but the patio is fantastic
We recently hosted a pre-wedding Welcome Drinks party (~100 people) at Logan Street, and the experience could not have been better. They have a beautiful private space that is both inside and outside under a covered patio. The staff was very friendly and professional. Working with their event coordinator, Caitlin, was a great experience as well - she was so accommodating and flexible to our needs. Highly recommend for any private event!
I've got mixed feelings about this place. I've now been twice, about a year apart, and recently they have done away with table service and posted notices of increased prices. Increased prices but no table service? This most recent visit we went at about 3:30 on a Monday so there wasn't any wait to order or get our food and drinks. That's great but what happens when it gets as busy as it was when I visited on a weekend a year ago? I imagine the bar gets swamped given they have to take food and drink orders and the outgoing food is picked up at the same place. I really like the food and drinks. The Steak Arugula salad and BLT Caesar Chicken salad are both great, the fish and chips too. I haven't had a bad drink there, and we've tried just about all of them. On the other hand the high prices mean you can quickly rack up a mean bill, especially if you order an app, an entree, and a drink. Not to mention sides are not included with entrees like burgers so that's an extra cost. The employees are nice and always helpful and the rooftop dining area is great- covered with some shade and plenty of misters. I'd like to eat here again if I'm in the area but man, not sure if my wallet can handle getting myself and the folks lunch.

Eat here frequently as it is close to work and I always have had a nice experience. My favorite thing to get is the taco shell salad. The ingredients here are always fresh and the preparation is quick even with a longish line, ive never had a bad meal. Love eating out on the patio and doing some people watching. Also am rewards member and i frequently get free chips and queso and a free meal every so often. This makes for a easy lunch spot that's affordable and delicious. Thanks guys!

This bar is a lot of fun. The music is really good. The multi levels is fun, and the bartenders have been good. I like how there are multiple high levels to dance solo and just have fun. I like this bar a lot, but I’m taking down two stars because one night my friend left his bag here and we didn’t realize until like maybe 20 mins after they had closed. We went back and literally KNOCKED and SLAMMED and YELLED for no less than 7 minutes saying “we lost our bag! We need our stuff!” In the rain. People saw us and heard us but did not come up to ask. We yelled what we needed to not sound like crazy people that we were just trying to get our stuff to be able to go home. Then the manager or whoever came out and was like “stop! We don’t have it!” And when we showed her the apple AirTag showing that it was indeed there, THEN they gave us our bag. It was horrible. The fact that the management was trying to get away with thievery and if we didn’t have an airtag we would have been stranded on colfax for the night. Negligent in that sense. Just make sure you have everything before you go.
Very accommodating! We had a large party and the person I coordinated with was super helpful and responsive. Some of our absolute favorites were the Maryland crab dip, shrimp and grits, the pork belly. The bison was a little too spicy for me though. Everything was very well presented. Our server was absolutely amazing & on top of it even though he was serving 20 people by himself! I would highly recommend this place! Thumbs up!
Edit: we did give it another try, and ultimately it’s the same experience unfortunately. They also serve brunch but don’t have coffee. Used to be one of my favorite spots in town.

It makes me really sad to write this review. I’ve frequented historians for almost a decade and I’m not sure what happened in the last couple of months but I likely won’t be back unless something changes. I want to see this business succeed, so I hope management takes note of some of these most recent reviews

We came for brunch today and you order food now from the bar and pick up from the bar, yet the cost of food is about 20-30% more expensive. ~$16 for brunch plates. They’ve taken away nearly every vegetarian option and charge extra to sub your protein for avocado. Also it’s served in paper dishes which is not only wasteful but definitely changes the experience. It’s like the entire restaurant staff is gone and they are running on a bare bones crew.

It’s clear this is an effort to improve profit in an unstable economy. But a place that used to be packed on a weekend at noon was totally dead. I know this is an attempted solution to a widespread problem but I just don’t see it working out and I would hate to see a big chain take it’s place.

Love the vibe here. Great local hole in the wall with killer decor. Randy is the best bartender we will be back just to see him. I don’t drink alcohol and he made the best mocktails with such an artistic craft.
Place is nice!
Food is good but not amazing!
We had the cauliflower, oyster, feta and truffle ansini!
happy hour is from 3 to 6 but its not really happy hour, just 1/2 dollars discount
Just ate here. Me and my girlfriend were beyond impressed with the food. Oso bucco and gorgonzola risotto was 🔥. Appetizers were so tasty. She is obsessed with their Expresso martinis 🍸. Lastly we had the warm chocolate cake with toasted coconut, passion fruit and it was simply delicious. We will be back!
Food was on point. I has a chipotle omelete, wife had chicken nachos. Both were great. We got there at 11am but had to wait 45 minutes for them to decide to open. Wait person was distracted and hard to get her attention despite only 4 tables. Wow, sad !!!!

Dude… I came in at 10, one hour before closing. They just gave me this burrito and there is raw chicken stuck to the wrapper. I’d forgive that except the rice is undercooked to the point that it is snapping in my mouth. Straight to the garbage can.

Also I was greeted with the biggest grimace when I walked in. I’d get that if it was 10 minutes to close but it’s an entire hour before.
The tacos were pretty good. I’d go back for convenience of location and parking, but it wouldn’t be my first choice. The bartenders were pretty friendly, but didn’t seem too jazzed to be there
Upscale sports bar. Staff were really nice and we got the fried feta(2), pork tenderloin, and salmon. The pork and potatoes were amazing with the chimichurri on top. The salmon was good with rice and cabbage salad. Only thing about that one was their was a lot of liquid from the salad that we weren’t crazy about.

My first time checking out Bar Nun and I enjoyed it. The wall decor is fun, the staff is friendly and welcoming and it was pretty steady for a Wednesday night. We ordered the taco pizza and it was delicious. We did get a couple of drinks as well, it was overall a positive experience. Will definitely go back.
This restaurant was great! The decor was everything! The service was great! The food was colorful and flavorful! The bathroom was SUPERB!! 4 adults, 2 kids, drinks, appetizers and dinner, our bill was $170.00. I was definitely impressed with the entire experience!
Great customer service! Delicious drinks and good food! They keep everything very clean! I went with my friend for happy hour and it was really fun, not super packed. And the look of the entire restaurant really made me feel like I was in Mexico. I definitely recommend this place to go with friends or family as it is beautiful and all the employees were very kind and attentive. The only small downfall is that it is a little pricey but I do think it is worth the price and I will definitely be back with more friends.
Still my favorite Mexican restaurant for the atmosphere in the West Colfax area. Their food used to be gourmet, where now it's just above average. However it remains, hands-down, the best looking interior that provides a fantastic atmosphere.
Good place for a quick bite not far off the 16th Street Mall. The place was a bit unkempt for a Saturday afternoon. And surprisingly very quiet. But the food was good and the woman working the food line was great. Not the best Qdoba in town (stacks of burrito metal bowls on the trash cans and ones on the ground on the patio, and the bathroom could use better upkeep) but I'd come back if I was in the neighborhood and I was hungry.
