Russell's Smokehouse

Total gem! We were walking around and ended up asking what restaurant the patio was for. We were directed to go down stairs to a speakeasy! We had the cutest date night listing to a live band, eating great food, drinking cocktails, and people watching! This is a fun place with professional servers.

This is by far the best BBQ I have eaten. I had the brisket and it was fork tender and absolutely amazing! No need for the sauce either, that's how great it was. Paired with the apple coleslaw, which was also amazing, and the baked beans. I was not pleased with the beans but that is minimal. The decor is fabulous and the staff is dressed to match. An absolute must stop for BBQ lovers and for folks who will soon become lovers after this stop!

Best homemade pie, delicious brisket and oh so good chicken and biscuits!!! If I lived in Denver, I would eat here on a regular basis. Also, ask your host to tell you the history of the building. It's quite a cool story since it used to be a speak easy.

We were licking our plates clean!! The pretzel bites app was awesome too, sorry no pic we ate them too quickly! Great service, friendly staff and they have gave us a round of champagne for our buddies birthday.

I honestly love this place. It is a bit pricy, like $27 for a half rack of ribs pricey. But the food is delicious, the staff is awesome, 22% gratuity is already included in the bill. There is a dining area and a cocktail lounge, both of which you can eat and drink in, just depends on the vibe you're looking for! Homemade biscuits and pie. The food is very flavorful. Whiskey Wednesdays!

First time here and will definitely return. The food was outstanding! From the Hatch Green Chili Cornbread to the GIANT Smoked Turkey Sandwich along with the Pulled Pork Sandwich. The Spicy BBQ sauce has a delightful kick and the BBQ mustard is a condiment I’d love to have in my fridge. The service was outstanding and we were impressed by their commitment to the well-being of their staff by automatically adding a gratuity which is split amongst front and back of house. It shows in the quality of service we received. We will definitely be coming back every time we visit Denver.

Pleasant underground smokehouse. Almost hidden but a worthy find. The food was amazing. Tired the sunday chicken special. Perfectly cooked fried chicken with a double crust outside. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. The staff was super nice and very helpful. Must try.

Great tasting food and sauces. We had the sharing platter for 2 people, with the additional rack of rubs and for sides, fries and mac and cheese. We also ordered some alcoholic drinks which were pretty descent. I got the paloma, which I reccomend and my husband got the Japanese whiskey drink. Its a cool place in Larimer Square. You go down the stairs, and then you sign a health waiver sheet to make sure in the past 14 days you haven't been around anyone exposed to covid19 or that you haven't displayed any symptoms & your temperature is also taken. We were explained that the tipping would already be include as well as another fee to help them keep running the place because of covid. We came on a Tuesday night since we are in Denver from out of town. The service was great, food was great. When it came time for the check our waiter said our hot chocolates were on the house since he felt he wasn't too attentive. If you're coming here on the weekend I'm assuming this place is super packed. So, I think that just comes with the place and location. So if you don't mind waiting, go ahead. Also, keep in mind this restaurant is quite expensive.
