The British Bulldog

Lively sports bar focused on English Premiere League football but also local Denver teams. Many great beers on tap and a solid food menu make it a good hangout.

Proper English pub. Service (especially Kevin) is spot on. Recently my place to go especially with lunches with colleagues. Food is well prepared and served quickly. Haven’t had a bad meal yet and I’ve decided to try everything one meal at a time. Atmosphere is spot on, fun place for music, friends, and football (the real kind played with feet not some boring pointed ball). What makes this place really shine is the staff. I’ve only been here daytime but everyone has been the best. Very attentive and kind to all.

Really cool spot. Decent beer selection and great food. I'd recommend the shepherd's pie and the bangers and mash. The sausage is made in house and is very tasty, but I have to caution against the scotch egg as it is unfortunately hard boiled and doesn't give a good scotch egg impression even if the sausage they use for it is incredible. I understand that it can be difficult to make a nice runny scotch egg so I don't blame them for this but I do wish it had that nice runny yolk. I can say for sure the bangers and mash as well as the shepherd's pie was fantastic, and someone got some fries near me and they smelled delicious but I haven't tried them yet. The bangers were very tasty and super juicy too, so I would personally recommend trying those first. The staff has been incredible as well, Brittanie was great and the other guy (can't remember his name sorry!) who served me a couple weeks ago was also a great bartender. I really like the atmosphere in here as well, seems like a really cozy spot. I can't verify the authenticity of the British pub vibe but they seem to do a good job, coming from an American. Touchtunes jukebox so either set your own music or vibe to whatever someone else is playing/random mix.

Best Brittish pub in Denver and serves the best "English Breakfast" as far as I know! Thanks for the good food! DJ Bella~B @dj.bellab.ig on Facebook & IG

This is a phenomenal soccer pub. We were there during El Classico and had an absolute blast! Decently priced drinks. Bangers and Mash was solid. It is a smaller bar, but that just adds to the atmosphere.

Such a cool spot in Denver. Got to have some of the best comfort English food. The shepherd's pie was off the chain. Sam my bartender was absolutely fabulous. One of the friendliest and kindest people I have met in a while. Everybody that I met was so kind. It was soccer time and the energy in the air was electric. Thank you guys for the great food. Great beer. I had the peach wheat from a local brew and it was mind-blowing. Thanks guys and I can't wait to visit again soon!

I'm going to be honest, I'm a fan of British pub food but I usually do not expect much from places that are more pub than a restaurant instead of restaurant acting like a British pub with their decor if you know what I mean? But damn, the food was great! Maybe because I didn't expect much, but I was very impressed and pleased with the food I had here. Interestingly, there's also a section for Pakistani food on the menu which was welcomed and something we tried was pretty good. Also the gentleman bartender/wait staff who was helping us was so polite, I found it to be incredibly refreshing. I haven't however tried the British national dish, the chicken Tikka masala here, so I'll have to go back to try to see. But I'll tell you that their bangers and mash was fantastic. One comment, I found the place to be a little too dark for my liking. And try their Punjabi wings!

I placed an order online and it was ready in about 20 minutes. I had the English breakfast, a scotch egg, and the chips and curry. Food was great and the man working the bar was very friendly! Just wish I had time to stay for a pint!

The people working here are very friendly. I came with my partner & mom. I had a Guinness. We had bangers & mash, scotch egg, fish n chips, and chips n curry. The vibe is chill. Soccer on tv Everything tasted great although the curry wasn't a flavor I am familiar with (idk if english curry is different).

We came for the weekend breakfast - a legit British breakfast. We weren't disappointed. Soccer is life for these folks and we were here for it. We watched part of a few games and cheered teams on. Such a fun morning. Our bartender was friendly and laid back. The bar back was centuries old and the wooden seating areas and murals were the same. Soooo much history here. Way cool. And, on top of that: our breakfast was really tasty. Even though I was a bit nervous to try the black pudding, turns out it was really good. Nothing like I expected. Some folks call it blood pudding as well. You can see why I was worried, haha. Def would recommend and have again. Not at all what comes to mind for an American breakfast but we left very satisfied and full.

British Bulldog is a divey English pub off of Broadway and Stout St. just on the outskirts of RiNo. To be quite frank, considering I'm in this area all the time I can't believe it's taken me five years to visit. That changed over the weekend, with some strings attached along the way. One bartender on a Friday night. I rolled in late after a work event and was actually pleased with the setting. It wasn't too crowded and it felt very low key. I sat for 5 minutes at the bar before the bartender came back inside from smoking a cigarette. Really? I just have no tolerance for these kinds of things anymore. Am I becoming old and cranky in my 30's?! The best thing this place has going for it are their prices and portions. I ordered the fish and chips and with a big pint of beer and I was pleased what was in front of me. Fish and chips were good, not great. Nice, crispy crunchy exterior, though the fish was dry in the center. The fries were inedible and tasted off. It comes with coleslaw too and it was fine, though not necessary in my humble opinion. The bartender was weird, and safe to assume a little drunk. I planned to have another beer yet decided it was in my best interest to leave. Always a bummer when one person can make or break an experience. I'll also add that though you can find free street parking nearby, that it does get a little sketchy at night in the area. Maybe the British Bulldog had an off night, and maybe it's best to visit on a game day. But I won't be rushing back here considering there are some great English pubs in the city that I already really enjoy.

After a 9 hour drive back to Denver, we needed a light dinner and to unwind. The British Bulldog, a local Irish pub was just the right place. Plenty of imported beer in bottles and on tap and a kitchen with all the pub favorite dishes. Don was working the bar and the tables and doing a good job keeping everyone served. We ordered a couple Red Speckled Hen beers to start and Fish & Chips and Shepherd's pie for dinner. Everything hit the spot just right. The only drawback, I chose a table under a speaker and the music was a bit loud. Otherwise, we enjoyed the evening.

The British Bulldog is of course the best place in town for watching soccer games, but they're so much more. The food is a 10 every time, any time of day. They make really fantastic Bloody Mary's, and have very friendly service. It's become a favorite spot for us.

Love this British Pub. This is the place to watch footy! Came here on a Friday afternoon for some drinks and dinner. Don is such a gem. He gave us great recommendations and did mind to girly girls coming in. The fish and chips were awesome same with the burger! It all came out quickly and soaked up my alcohol. Prices were very fair! Two beers and two drinks were around 50$ including tip. It is a tad divey and dark which I love! But the food and service are way better than a typical "dive bar". The drinks are good, tons on tap. They do have a small outdoor patio as well. On my nights out I will definitely come back here. Overall, 5/5 experience. Highly recommend. Super enjoyable time.

Came here with a sports team. Mango beer thing was good. Fun atmosphere. Good service. Thanks!

Good selection of British beers and a good reasonably priced English breakfast in the mornings.

This place had a nice laid back vibe. The music wasn't too loud. Their booths/seating felt intimate. They had a nice variety of drinks and food. This place is open late compared to everything else around there. Service was fast and the server was nice.

We stopped by in to watch a midweek Manchester United game. The place got full, one only one person running the bar and the dining area. I must stay he handled it pretty well. We ordered a couple of beers, some Buffalo wings and their Bangers & Mash. The wings were good, but pricey for only getting 7 wings. This is the first time I've had Bangers & Mash and really enjoyed the dish. Will definitely be ordering this again next time I'm at a British Pub. Overall I enjoyed my time here. The only issue I had was the lack of singing and chanting. Everyone was quiet here. But that's obviously the the pubs fault. I can definitely see myself returning.

Adorable atmosphere. I love the stained glass windows and very friendly service (my favorite)

Futbol lovers will enjoy this place. Food and beer options are also decent. Music is not too loud and people are friendly so you can have good conversations.

Ambience, personalized service, great sport screened. Decor is awesome - curated collections.

This is a great place to watch a soccer game and eat some delicious fish and chips. We stopped in last Friday before a show downtown and grabbed some dinner and a drink before heading to the show. The bartender was the server and he was on it. Great attitude, super nice and thankful for us coming in. I got the fish and chips. the fish was super tender and flaky. great flavor on the breading and piping hot when they came out. A friend got the pub dunk. It was good but the meat lacked a little flavor in my opinion. Great au jus though. My husband got the saag paneer. It was a small serving so he helped me with my fish and chips. I didn't try it but he mentioned it lacked some flavor. The beers were cold and they have a good selection to cover all varieties of tastebuds. I will say if you are looking for some amazing fish and chips, this is the place to hit up for sure. they have one of my favorite in the Denver metro area for sure.

Great spot for some English Premier League football and 7:00 AM beers on draft. Their full English breakfast and fish & chips are scrumptious any time of day. The bar staff is always fun, attentive, and generous. With the foxes back in the EPL I'm looking forward to a few more early weekend mornings in downtown Denver.

Pretty classic dive bar. Although mind you the staff is above the divey class. They serve breakfast and we came here for that when we had a visitor in town. Excellent service and good breakfast! The no-nonsense kind.

I decided to take an adventure and go to lunch at the British Bulldog. It was amazing. I got a club soda and a fish and chips for $12. It was authentic from scratch fish and tater tots. I could have had the chips.., but the tots!The seasoning was spot on. I loved the welcome reception. I've never received my meal faster or fresher. The cod was amazing. And the beer batter was stupendous. These tater tots were seasoned throughout with cheese and finely shredded potatoes. They really looked like scallops. But I would do this again and again, and again! You have to give this place to try. There's plenty of open seating for lunch. And the hospitality is outstanding. The kitchen manager, Shem, was attentive, and really wanted to know what I thought of the food and cared about my experience. Love it!

Came here last week for a quick lunch with my wife. We were there not long after they opened and the place was dead. Atmosphere leaves little to be desired, but I'd guess it's more fun at night packed with people watching a soccer match. We ordered a scotch egg, shepherds pie, and fish and chips to split. Everything minus the chips (fries) was SPOT ON. They served some good spicy mustard that complemented the egg, I couldn't stop shoveling shepherds pie into my gob, and I've seriously never had a more buttery soft and delicious piece of fried fish. The chips weren't terrible just nothing exciting. Seemed like standard freezer fare. Some fresh cut potatoes would have gone a long way there. Almost took off a star for the disappointment but the other food made up for it. We'd come back!

Scotch eggs were delicious! Great service from the wait staff! Enjoyed the atmosphere and customers

Like everything in this city, the Bulldog has changed some over the years, but it has retained the character and vibe that make it a truly special place. 15+ years since I first started coming here, The 'Dog is still the beating heart of proper football in Denver, opening early for weekend matches with early afternoon UK kickoff times (5:00 - 5:30 am Denver time). Football matchdays are lively, with various clubs' supporters' groups bantering back and forth; arrive early to avoid disappointment if you want to sit at a table on big matchdays as they fill up quickly. The nighttime crowd is cool and eclectic as you'd expect from a proper but slightly divey pub. The beer is cold, the staff is killer, and the food is solid. Whether it's lunch, dinner, a late night bite, or breakfast and a pint with your football, get stuck in.

Great little British Pub. The atmosphere is perfect. The bar keepers know football (soccer). They pour a proper pint of Guinness. This is great place to watch a match or just enjoy ping and burger. Cheers!

This is the best place to get an 8am beer. If you're a soccer fan this is where you want to be. Absolutely electric. The brunch is super authentic and absolutely delicious. BANGERS AND MASH!

Came here on a late night and got some wings and beer. The wings were bomb. Our bartender, Don, was very attentive and brought our food out fast! We went on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy but def not empty either. Would recommend. The vibe is chill, I would return!

This place is a good time! Don is such a nice bartender! I usually only stop by when he is working.

It has an amazing atmosphere with a lot is soccer / football things! It has amazing British food with some original recipes! The Scottish egg is amazing if you like boiled eggs , sausage and fried food! Service is fast . I 1000 % recommend!!

Super cool soccer spot that has on all the games you need. Came here for a champions league game, the bartender was really nice, they had a bunch of different beers and food options. Great soccer pub with a lot of space and seating and cool decorations!

Nice place for a pint with a good atmosphere for a football match. Full English was decent if a little cold. Unfortunately had a negative experience with the general manager early in the morning and ended up being punched in the face, dragged through a table and stools and thrown onto the sidewalk. He crushed one of my airpods and tore a favorite shirt in half. They did have a great beer selection and I think the classis pub setup of booths and a bar would make for a perfect gameday space.

Food was good with a limited menu. A good place to watch some soccer. Wings were excellent.

How does this place not have better ratings? The food is good and the company is better! The staff is fucking awesome. Can't even emphasize this enough. Fish and chips, done. HP sauce in a bottle, done. Games on the tv, done. Just an all around cool place and cool atmosphere. Bar seating, table seating hell you could even stand and watch the game. Either way there is seating here for you and a couple of others. Beers on tap include the staples and some rotating seasonals from local breweries. The food? Well everything is British themed so you can die happy with high cholesterol! I'd say do the fish and chips because why the hell wouldn't you? Plus it comes with all sorts of sauces. Don't forget the malt vinegar.

We went at lunch. The 3 of us each ordered a pint . The fish & chips, Grecco Chicken & Pub Dunk were all really good. Service was fast. Food prices very reasonable & draft prices were ok. Will go back.

Great English breakfast, probably best to go on any day Bar Saturday, when there's around 20 or so Chelsea fans and a few other odds and ends that follow other teams. Atmosphere is good and plenty of TVs to watch your games on.

Please just stop serving food. Had to stop in because of a conference schedule that required a culinary pit stop. This was a terrible, terrible mistake.

I was in Denver for a work conference, and was told about this restaurant by a colleague. Because of my early life and background, I was very excited to have some authentic British and Indian (Pakistani) food. The menu listed so many good options and I almost wanted to try them all. The classics of bangers and mash, to original English breakfast, to some genuine chicken curry. Mmmm, I could almost smell the food even while walking from 8 blocks away. To be completely honest, it was largely a disappointment. I have been eating authentic samosas since I was 5, but what they served as samosas looked more like fried quesadillas with potatoes inside. The taste wasn't bad, but sorry, these were not samosas. And samosas are never served with garden ranch dressing. I ordered the chicken masala. That was the best part as it was truly delicious. And the heat (spice) was just about perfect. The naan bread that came with it was also very good. But when I asked for chutney, the waitress gave me some chopped tomatoes and cilantro, saying that was the chutney. Um, no folks, in America that is called salsa. Chutney is made of mango or peaches or ginger or apricot! My friend had the fish and chips which I see on Yelp has great reviews. He said it was good, but I know he was missing the malt and vinegar. When in Denver next I'll likely give them another shot because I was impressed with the curry, and I may want to try the fish. But in terms of authenticity on some of their menu items, I still have questions.

This bar refuses to serve valid vertical IDs. Arrived for a quick drink and was told "corporate requires horizontal IDs". Abysmal they lose service on valid IDs. Will not be coming.

Excellent pub offerings! Friendly service, warm atmosphere and the food was very good! The shepherd's pie actually used lamb instead of beef. This may be news to SOME establishments but shepherds herd sheep! Not cattle. Also, the fish and chips are crunchy, light, flaky and wonderful!

I've walked by this place dozens of times and always thought: "looks like a crusty dive with salty locals and mediocre food". I have been more wrong at other times in life, but not many. It *is* a dive, but the locals are incredibly friendly. I felt like if I didn't force myself to leave (work in the morning) I probably would've closed down the bar and the bartender and a band of friendly locals (and myself) would've walked to another bar and closed it down. Seriously, I was alone, from Alaska, and they made me feel like I had always known them. And the food: they have various unique Pakistani dishes! (in addition to standard British fare) I feel like Indian/Pakistani food might be to the UK as Mexican food is to the US, read: you can sometimes find it at places you wouldn't expect. I got some wings, they were uniquely spiced and just what I needed after a climb of Longs Peak. Beer selection was good, not great. Standard UK pub fare, along with some local craft brews. Next time I'm in Denver, I will definitely be back!

Best hot wings, ever! There's plenty of meat on the wings, my boyfriend & I can barely finish a pound between the 2 of us. Great french fries, as well. The staff is super friendly.

In a city that lacks places that are open after 9 pm, this place is a gem. (Especially when you have someone with you under 21, because most places won't even let you walk through the door if you're underage.) You couldn't ask for more from a pub- the inside aesthetic takes you to a whole different era of cool, the fish and chips were amazing & my husband said his reuben was the best he's ever had. Our server was awesome-he gave us excellent recommendations and was super friendly. We'll be back for sure.

From food to alcohol to service everything was amazing even their patrons/regulars highly recommend checking this place out

My favorite place to watch European soccer at 5:30 in the morning. The staff rocks and the food is delicious.

After reading the 1 Star review about the guy loving the beer and getting punched in the face. I knew I had to go. Love the atmosphere. Bartenders are awesome. Great Fish and Chips. Got to watch the Philadelphia Union with a couple of pints. If you want a genuine British Pub, this is the place. I left without getting punched, had awesome good and great beer.

Great food and hand pulled beers, what more can you say! Friendly bartender and super cool decor.

Great place to watch a football match. Food is delicious, drinks are great, servers are great.

It breaks my heart to say this. I used to come to the bulldog at least once a week for the Masala. The Masala here used to be the best I have ever had but they changed the recipe, and it is now just awful. What have you done??!!?? Also, you might want to start reaching out to city council, the area around the place now looks like a homeless camp and I don't feel safe leaving the place.

One of the few bars in Denver that has culture and community. Went here on a random Tuesday and it turns out that there's a football game on. Absolutely electric with good food and great beer selection. Pristine service and ambiance as well.

Great pub food, great service, and warm atmosphere. I went here to eat, drink, and watch basketball and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great fish and chips, pub salad, and tap beer selection. It's a neighborhood pub; so there's also a lot of friendship and welcoming. I tried to find another pub the next night but couldn't; so I went back and had great shepherd's pie, scotch egg, and beer again. Highly recommend the British Bulldog!

I love this place so much!! Fish n chips were amazing, service is excellent, you can tell they have a lot of regulars. Great place to watch a game, or grab dinner and drinks after work. The menu is so unique and it is far too underrated!

When did the BRITISH Bulldog change their menu to mainly Pakistani cuisine? I enjoy Pakistani food (the best I've had was IN the Middle East) but seriously why is this restaurant's main cuisine NOT related to English food? We came here for lunch and ordered an appetizer and left after seeing the choices - opting to go to another restaurant. The menu listed on Yelp is no longer valid.

If you are a fan of the greatest sport in the world Football, no not the American 'football' where the actual 'foot' is barely utilized, then there is no possible way for you not to enjoy this pub. Yeah the neighborhood is interesting and there are homeless people out front shamelessly shooting Lord knows what up Lord knows where but once you go inside the British Bulldog you are taken to a serene place where football fans from around the world can unite regardless of your team elegance. In order to get the full experience I highly recommend arriving at 6AM on a big English Football gameday, get your pint of beer and the full English breakfast and enjoy everything from the atmosphere to fellow fans and everything great that the most beautiful game in the world has to offer!
