The DNVR Bar

I’ve only come here 4 times to watch women’s soccer. They keep advertising as an official watch party and women’s sports bar. T he space is big to bring a lot of friends. The first time was over the summer when there was a Denver Summit event so it was packed and rowdy, however, the 3 times following have been disappointing. Even with post on IG to come watch the game with sound, I went in after Thanksgiving and it was only showing on one tv in the very back. Last weekend they couldn’t get the tv to play until game time and then this weekend we had to ask and the servers were super nice but said they were waiting on access. Then asked us if Spanish was ok. They got the TVs working just as the game started but only had the sound out of one speaker so we could barely hear it. They wouldn’t change the large tv from men’s basketball. I love all sports, but they kept posting about official watch party so we assumed we’d be able to watch on the large tv and have better sound. The employees were nice and the food was solid but the advertising is off imo. If I want to watch an Avs or Nuggets game I would come here but I do not have a desire to come back for any women’s sports.

Travelled all the way from London to watch the nuggets and visiting this bar was 2nd on my list and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Staff and owner were very warm and friendly, TV’s everywhere, delicious food and cool memorabilia all around. I’m just jealous of locals who can experience this every week… not just once in 18 years ahaha. Best sports bar!

Love me some DNVR! I got their wings the other day and they were perfectly cooked, juicy, crispy, and flavorful. There are always specials going on so you can find a deal and not spend an arm and a leg. Make sure you check out their instagram to stay up to date on their specials and watch parties. Speaking of watch parties, the whole place is a vibe during games. It is loud, it is fun, and it is packed! As expected with crazy busy game days, service is a bit slower, so go in knowing this and be patient. It’s worth the wait and they’re hustling! Things I recommend to eat: wings, green chile, gallo wrap, steak quesadilla, loose puck sliders, 50 burger, The Ralphie (sub grilled chicken), and a basket of fries with a side of ranch and hot buffalo (mix it together). Their fry seasoning is out of this world! My favorite thing is that they don’t up-charge for a side of green chile to replace your fries. ONE critique I have is that you can’t just get a side of queso currently. You have to get the three cup sampler. Their queso is some of the best in Denver. It is creamy and ooey and flavorful and I wanna pour it on everything. Hopefully a button gets added so we can get a cup of it whenever we want 🤤

Landed in Denver from the uk and went straight to this bar. Listen to a Broncos podcast so wanted to check it out. Such a great sports bar, showing lots of different games and sports. Really love the decor. The sliders and tenders were lovely, love how they were named after Denver sports teams/phrases. Cocktails were lovely too. All the staff were so friendly, got chatting to the locals and had a blast. 10/10 place 🧡

I had a great time watching the Colorado Rapids opener there. The food was good, and the service along with the atmosphere was exceptional!! The Rapids came up short that night but the DNVR Bar did not!! Great job DNVR and GO RAPIDS!!!

Seriously the best hidden gem in Denver. Affordable pricing, welcoming staff, awesome merch. Got to meet the owner Lindsey and bartender Bailey. Truly two of the coolest and most welcoming women. Excellent place to watch any local team. Immaculate vibes.

As an European traveler and Nuggets fan, this was a gemstone for me. Colfax is a rough neighbourhood but around the building you feel safe and wanted, the staff is great and the podcasters are very welcoming and friendly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Mile High Above Average at DNVR Bar! If Denver had a heart, it would probably be pumping Breckenridge beer and shouting “Go Avs Go!!!”—and it would probably live inside the DNVR Bar. This place isn’t just a bar; it’s a sports fan’s dream wrapped in Colorado vibes and dipped in brewery gold. Let’s talk about Riley, the MVP of the night. Not only did he make us feel like regulars the second we walked in, but he also let us UPSTAIRS where the DNVR podcast magic happens. That’s right—THE podcast studio. We were geeking out harder than a Broncos fan on draft day. Major props to Riley for making it feel like we were part of the DNVR fam. And the beer? Oh, the Breckenridge Brewery beer was flowing like a perfectly executed fast break. Cold, crisp, and dangerously easy to sip. We may or may not have “sampled” our way through the menu in the name of journalistic integrity. (Spoiler: it was totally worth it.) Whether you're there to catch a game, crush some wings, or just bathe in the glory of Denver sports culture, DNVR Bar is the spot. From the buzzing atmosphere to the friendly staff and top-tier brews, it’s the kind of place that turns a casual hangout into a legendary night. Already planning our next trip back. Someone tell Riley to save us a seat (and a pint). 🍻

We popped into DNVR Bar for an early morning watch party and it was a great bar experience. Considering I was half asleep on the ride there, it was so nice to grab a cup of coffee before an early morning pint. The person working the bar was so friendly and made sure the TVs were set to our match and that the volume was high enough. The bar had plenty of seating and was clean with a modern feel. There was bar seating, high tops and then some lower tables with a shelf full of games. Some of the watch party guests had kids with them and they spent the time in that area playing. I loved that they have four screens set up to be one giant screen, and as someone with bad eyesight it really made a difference. Their bathrooms had multiple stalls and were better than most bar restrooms I've been in. I would absolutely come back here for a watch party or just for a pint.

I've been here a few times and did a sports draft here that turned out to be a bit of a cluster f even though there was only us and a few other tables in the whole place. The servers and bartenders were cool personality-wise so I'm not sure what the issue is here when we had certain specials promised to us then ignored. It's Denver, man, we could go anywhere and if I'm doing the draft next year, I'm gonna super-duper-hard push for another sports bar place in the area that actually gives people deals for showing up and drafting their teams. Cause you know, we don't have to choose to show up here or there. Food is basic bar food (maybe a tad below). Not inexpensive, either. The lower priced stuff is because it's super small portions. I don't normally buy pitchers/drink beer as much anymore, but we were going with beer on this day. Are pitchers really $35+ now?! Shite!!! For like basic light beer, too, we didn't get the high ABVs, or anything. Then add your 6% fee (3% service fee, because why pay staff more when customers can pay it? & another 3% for using a credit card because it's super safe to walk around with cold hard cash & that's what most of us readily have on us in the year 2025) on top of 8% tax and a 20% tip that everyone thinks they deserve (though Denver has one of the highest hourly pay rates in the entire USA, and it's really not that big of a city, y'all) and wait, is one, single pitcher of a lighter beer now almost $50!!

I just started coming to DNVR and I'd have to say the staff is so friendly and attentive. The food is really good and portion size is great. Their burgers are really flavorful and they have a nice variety. Today I had their QuesaDNVR it was a decent size and amazing!!! There are board games you can play, plenty of TVs to watch events and wait for it.....Love Island as well :)

I had a great lunch while watching the end of the women's Rugby World Cup. Lots of tvs to watch your favorite game. The staff is so conscientious on making sure all games are showing and your favorite is in perfect view! I stopped by for some lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the great service and food. I had a hard time selecting, but I ended up ordering the Big Game Burrito smothered in green chili. So tasty! I'll be back when I'm in the neighborhood!

This is a great sports bar! Lots of T.V.s on every wall to watch all the games. The food is excellent. They also have a good selection of beer. Overall it was a great experience to watch the Avalanche game and the Thursday Night NFL game.

Green chile mac & tenders were delish! Staff was nice & helpful, we even got to go upstairs to tour the studio!

This is a pretty cool Place to watch a game , as long as they will put the game on that you want to watch. The food or service isn't anything to write home about ......

Definitely a chick bar on game days for the broncos. Either way it's a good time Go Birds.

We always have an enjoyable time here. We go to watch Avalanche games and there is no better place. Food is good too!

Food is mediocre but that's not the reason for the low score, but doesn't help either. But whoever operates this place seems to have never run a restaurant or bar it would seem. Understaffed especially during this time of year when most sports bars are packed due to hockey, March madness, etc. You can tell it weighs on the staff and they aren't the friendliest of people especially the bartenders. And the place could rake in the money but instead you stand there for a while waiting for service. Sad because it's a great location for a sports bar and the tvs and the space are perfect for one but unfortunately they need someone that can manage the staff and knows how to schedule.

Solid place to come and watch games !! There are TV's everywhere that there's literally not a bad seat in the whole place. Service was fast which was awesome. They really have it nailed down for getting your drinks fast. We got the chicken wings which were great and the wrap was awesome. Good food overall for a bar. They have a lot of energy in the place and every person I spoke to there was so extremely nice. Great place to watch any sports games!

Great service The food is typical sports bar fare but the atmosphere is tremendous. Shout out to service staff. You don't get table turnover so treat your server well

Wanna give a big huge shout out to our bar tender Maddie for getting husband upstairs for a meet n greet with the pid cast crew! Was definitely added to our favorite places to eat. Food was delicious, service was fa n friendly. See you again!

I read a lot of reviews that were less than positive. Frankly, I don't get it. I had superior service while I was here. The beers were cold and they had a solid tap list. My food, the Forsburger was pretty freaking tasty. Yeah, it came in at medium well when I had asked for medium rare, but it still was delicious. The onion rings as my side were quite tasty. Yes, I used to really enjoy the 3 Lions that was here, and I still miss it. But, this is a worthy successor to the space. There are a lot of sports bars around, but this one is doing a very nice job of it.

Very cool sports bar! We came for an Axios event and stayed for a snack and Steelers game. The place is great, with screens all around it. If you want to cheer your team, that's the right spot. We decided to have some snacks - my gluten full companion went for the reuben droughts and fries, and I went for a frosburger on a gluten free bun with salad. The fries are not gluten free, but I hear they are well seasoned and very tasty. Both options were delicious. We were actually surprised, having lower expectations from a sports bar, but the food was really, really, really good. I'd definitely repeat that again. Since I can't drink beer, I tried the cider they have - damn amazing (stem apricot haze I look at you!). Overall, big thanks to Axios, this is a great find. I'm sure we'll pop back again!

Bought (1) beer...$9.99. Do not go here. Waited around at the bar while the bartender stared at her phone. Finally noticed me after a good 5 minutes (not busy at all) and served me a $9.99 beer.

Food is delicious and a great atmosphere!!! Always happy to support the DNVR community ... even my wife and kids enjoyed our lunch after being "dragged" to the bar for lunch.

My brother and I pivoted to DNVR bar for the first time after the abbey tavern wasn't open until 11. We wanted to watch the Newcastle v Man City match at 10:30. Wish I would've grabbed the name of the bartender - he was polite, attentive, and went above and beyond to check on dairy free options for us. Though NBC/NBC sports isn't part of their sports TV package (how?!) he secured their peacock password to get the match up and audio was turned on. 12/10 service. Food was solid - I had fish & chips and my brother ordered the French toast. Both were very tasty. The moment that absolutely sealed the deal that this is a place we want to support going forward was how he handled the homeless person who came in. Mind you: it's -5 degrees today. Bartender was kind and compassionate when handling this person's request (and very likely looking for a way to be out of the freezing cold for an hour or so). Incredible spot and extraordinary first impression. Will definitely be back again.

Nice sports bar with lots of sports decorations and a bunch of TVs for games. I stopped in here to have a drink while waiting for my dinner reservation nearby and knew I had to come back. I came back during March Madness for dinner and drinks and it was great. The staff was really friendly and there are tons of TVs around so you were able to watch all the different games. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was spicy! If you can take a lot of heat then I would suggest you give it a shot.

As others have said, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It's an awesome spot to grab some drinks and bar food and catch a game. Plus they have mercy so you can go drunk shopping!! The burger and fries were better than I expected and although busy, servers were friendly and quick when we saw them.

My server Riley let me know who cooked our food after i asked, the outstanding food was made by a chef named Rob! Food is to die for, definitely recommend this place! Super cute inside and overall a good ambiance.

Terrible. Overpriced and slow. They can't decide if they want to pretend to be bar owners or hacks in the media.

Fantastic staff, great food and a top notch TV scene. Highly recommended DNVR for your sports bar and food needs.

Pleasantly surprised!!! Have always driven by and decided to stop in. The place was empty so it was all to ourselves! TVs surrounded us and we were asked upon sitting down if we had any game suggestions we wanted to watch... great service! We ordered burgers and they were delicious. Definitely will come. I will say, if you're ordering a burger keep it simple because they charge you for EVERYTHING and do not have a lot of other burgers on the menu. For example you pay for the burger, then (I think) the cheese, the bacon, etc etc... that adds up real quick and not ideal... so I opted for the one the menu to avoid all the additional costs and just settled with the Blake street burger.... So I chose the blue cheese one to avoid being charged so much more for normal toppings which was a bummer. Beers were $6.00 so that was nice but the expensive build a burger wasn't ideal. Will definitely go elsewhere for a burger but try something else next time! Parking: Colfax parking and parking in the back!!

We went to watch an Avs playoff game on a week night and got a great seat. The place was full of avs fan. We had great service too! Love that they have breckenridge brewery beers. The food was also great. We got the trio dips as an appetizer, great. I had the goaltendeds app for dinner, 5 chicken tenders and fries and was very good. Husband had the salmon sandwhich and liked it too. Very good vibes for a sports bar. They were also selling Avs gear and had free raffles for giveaways. We will definitely be back.

One of the most amazing sports bars anywhere! During the Avs Stanley Cup run this year, if I wasn't at Ball Arena, I was at DNVR!!! Grew up in Houston without any hockey so I wasn't really that into it but this bar turned me into a hockey fan! I drive 30-45 minutes to get here and I pass up any number of other bars...and I don't regret it! The remodel and retooling of the menu are bonuses! I recommend the Karl Mecklenburger!

This place is the shit!, great vibes, atmosphere, and great staff!! I'll definitely be back!! GO AVS!!!!!!

Good food, great beer selection, amazing ambiance PLUS they play all the local professional sports games and host fun watch parties! An instant classic for locals and transplants with a love for the city!

Uhm....this place is uh-mazing! The food is good, lots of tv's to watch all the things and Amanda is maybe the best server ever! Highly recommend!

Service was a 4 star. The bar tender was nice, checked on GF options. Not busy and it took a long time to get another drink and didn't happen during HH, so we didn't order a second. Ambiance - 2 stars. The potential is there, but no music or sound on and just a bunch of TVs (I'd give the TV set up a 5 star, but a quiet bar is WIERD). If they get the sound fixed probably a decent place to watch the game. Place was empty, but that could be based on day and time (5ishp on Tuesday - happy hour is 4-6p). Food - 1 star. The guacamole was bad in the three dip starter. Literally bad - taste was bland but the actual guacamole was bad and oxidized so it looked brown and old, and tasted like I would get sick. Chips were stale. I don't recommend that starter, which made us second guess having dinner so we chose to leave and go somewhere else. Can't speak to the rest of the menu. Might come back for a game to see if it's better, but not my first choice. Hope that helps.

Fun place to be for the game! Loved the Bloody Mary bar!! Food looks good- although we didn't eat

Really fun atmosphere and all my people are there for every game. I asked for my burger to be medium, it was medium well, but still really good :) Even when the games don't go well it's my happy place

What an underwhelming experience. Pickles were horrible. Three piles stuck together and burnt, small portion for $12. Cheeseburger pretty good, discovered a 75 cent charge for the mayo I needed for my burger. Decent beers, but pricey. Bill comes and there's the hidden 3% mandatory service charge. Staff told me it was Colorado Law. NOT. It's a profit grab for the bar. Won't be back. Oh, and the bathrooms were filthy. Not a very good experience.

Absolutely the worst $20 burger in Denver.... I'd rather spend $20 on a bikini wax in Central America. If I was stranded on an island and they say the only food I can eat is a DNVR burger, I'm taking the turtle burger. Not to mention we had the most annoying girl eating behind us that screamed in our ears the whole time. They had a poutine that would make a Canadian cry it was so bad. If based off this review you still come here then this is the perfect place for you. Happy Friday.

Been a regular here for a couple weeks now. I ask for the same waitress every time- Amanda. She has been so amazing not only in service, but also in friendship, trust, and respect. To be truthful, it's one of the main reasons we come back. Besides that, the food is unreal the drinks at a VERY reasonable price; happy hours and playoff games are amazing but Amanda makes them so much more enjoyable just by being the worker/ person she is. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good sports bar experience.

Service was fine and the only micro brewery they have on tap is pretty good (BRECK), so they get a star for that. However, food is sub par to shit. Kitchen gives zero f's and will send it out old and browning in color for items like guacamole. It's pretty overpriced, and the establishment is pretty weathered.

First time at DNVR, let me tell you the atmosphere on game days is sooooo much fun!!! We got the pleasure to sit close to Amanda while she killed it at the well. No matter how crazy and wild this place got, she handled her duties. I was impressed!!! The staff is so friendly and so attentive and I know for sure I will come back to this place when I visit Denver next year :)

Amanda bartender was amazing and did great with the service. She was very friendly along with the rest of the bartenders. Atmosphere was great with game day coverage. Loved the experience and will definitely be back when I come back to Denver.

This use to be a great place and loved the vibe and food. Unfortunately when you join sports and politics, they don't mix. And the liberal hosts have done just that. Can't it just be sports?!

Extremely hostile staff specifically a foul mouth bartender with a low flat brimmed hat that displayed zero manners as a human, let alone an employee. So unprofessional. Going to this sad excuse for a business was the worst part of our night. Avoid this "bar" at all costs.

Came for a 3rd time - still really enjoyed the Barrel-man carnitas burrito and the fried chicken sandwich. Great bar food!

Definitely not the spot. There are plenty of other places downtown that offer better service and food.

Lets start slow, all the TV's were on volleyball. Ordered 2 coors light drafts. out of them. Order 2 bud lights. They are so watered down. The server says having tap trouble I'll bring you 2 bottles. Bottles are $5 and a 16 ounce draft is $5. so now we're not getting the same amount of beer. Her response was it's only a couple of ounces. Watched her keep pouring more drafts and try to scoop out foam. Now to the food. We ordered a appetizer. It showed up 30 minutes later at the same time as our main meal. Which was all to go at this time. Food was still brought for dine in. We didn't even eat it. Tab was $44 for horrible service and a rude server/bartender. i tipped $5 and left a note about the service and she used the $5 for a $50 tip. Do not every go here. Called my bank. Try calling the bars number on the google page it's disconnected. 303-997-6886

First off, we called a few times ahead of times to see if they were busy or have space for three of us. The phone rings and then, surprise, you get what sounds like a dial up internet connection. We tried three different times with the same result. We decided to just show up anyway and the place was pretty empty. Sat ourselves and then waited 10 mins before anyone came over. Which actually they didn't come over, so I decided to approach the bar. Ordered some drinks and food with the bartender and then went back to my seat. The atmosphere was very "lifeless" and had zero energy. If it wasn't for lack of wanting to watch Sunday football we would have left immediately. Stayed, service was mediocre and after being asked if I wanted a second beer, 15-20 mins later, still no beer. He was like, "oops, my bad." I told him to cancel the beer and we will settle and get out. Don't think we will ever go back. Nothing worth coming back for honestly. Everyone has an off day, maybe today was theirs.

This bar has a great vibe, it's perfect for grabbing a beer and watching the game. The food is really good too. We got the chicken tenders and fried pickles 5 stars for both. Service was very friendly and fast! Thank you to our server amanda, you were awesome. We will definitely be back to watch another game here.

This place has amazing old fashioneds and great food! Really fun space to watch a game.

Absolutely horrible sports bar since MAC Entertainment acquired it. It seems that everything this company touches shrivels up and dies (ie The Deck (formally Park Tavern)). I have never seen a more incompetent business try and hash out garbage food, sub-par atmosphere, minimal tap choices and just an unsanitary environment.

The dnvr bar is a juicy succulent cactus in the middle of a dry hairy desert. Among sheep, it is a goat wearing a cowboy hat and Oakley shades from the mid 2000s. I love the DNVR bar because they only play T-Pains first mixtape on loop.
