The Fainting Goat Pub

This is a great little dive bar with surprisingly friendly staff! It looks a bit rough and tumble but I assure you it's not. The drinks were well made and the regulars were very friendly. I don't make it to this part of town very often, but if I do I'll be returning to this place. Please note that I didn't try the food so I can't speak to it.

Went there on a Sunday afternoon during a Bronco game and a protest. Pretty good sandwiches and fries. Beer was cold. The bearded bartender on point. The blonde lady bartender was passive aggressive and exuded the personality of having a stick up her...ask me about the pool table? There is one in the back that cost $1 a game. Cool crowd. Don't understand bartenders that are pissy when it is busy. Would return but leave if blonde was the one bartender.

Overservice!! My 21 year old son, visiting from out of town, met an old highschool buddy here. They stayed at the Fainting Goat for 5 hours. Yes, I checked his phone location several times. They both got totally wasted--my son said he had eight beers. Fortunately, they both took rideshare cars home. My son fell getting out of the car; he was so drunk he could barely walk. He said the fried pickles were good, even though he barfed them up on my rug. He was totally irresponsible, but so were those who overserved him. This establishment cares more about making money than the safety of their patrons.

Great spot to stop in for a night cap. We stayed around the corner at the Hostel, so the location was convenient. I got the hazy IPA on draft every night. We got the 12p to 2a burrito. It was okay. I would recommend overall. Good people and good bartender.

food was awesome! smash burgers were great, vibes were alright. bartender sucked. she treated us like she didn’t want us there, never gave us our debit card back even when we were closing our tab. when we asked for it back she claimed she returned it, buuuuut we never received it. she checked on us once & made it seem as if serving us was an issue. i’d understand if we were rude or had her running all night, but it seemed she was overwhelmed with how busy it was and took it out on us. likely never coming back! aside from getting back our debit card of course.

We had a party at the fainting goat last week and had an excellent experience. The catering and service were great! I had no idea you can reserve the spaces and the prices are good. I would recommend the fainting goat for a party or just a casual outing. 🙂 Thank you all.

A group of us took a trip to Denver from Atlanta and when we heard about this bar we of course had to come check it out. They have a loft upstairs that’s catered to Falcons fans. Atmosphere was amazing and so were the people we met from the owners to the regulars. Our server was nice (I wish I remembered her name) and the food was really good. You HAVE to try the buffalo chicken rolls. 10/10. We will definitely be back if we are in Denver again. Thanks for a great time!

This bar is the type of place that takes care of their community. Their food rocks. Their bartenders are great, and Brendan, and Lauren kick ass. Shout out to Owen too. Yall keep the community safe and there’s nothing more that we could ask for from our neighborhood bars. If you don’t come here, you’re missing out:

A bar that has drinks and food? That's all I need. Fainting goat has a great rooftop for Sunny days, the bartenders are always chill, and it has great vibes for watching sports. My only feedback is sometimes the food is inconsistent (such as the crazy salty pickle chips we or salty buffalo chicken wrap). But I've been okay with it enough to go back every time. They also have weekly specials (e.g, tacos, drafts, etc.)

This place is shite. Nothing about it is an Irish Pub. It should be illegal to call it that. Not friendly, bad food, bright lights. This place has horrific acoustics. The speakers are obnoxiously loud. The server was incompetent and not friendly. Got to be at least one of those. Competent or friendly, ideally both. They charge 5.00 for a side of onion rings with your sandwich or burger and they came out stone cold. French dip had no sauce and was cold. Fried pickles are inedibly salty. I love fried pickles and get them everywhere and could not eat them. Horrible horrible experience. Will never go back.

This place has quickly become a favorite. It is a neighborhood pub that also serves an extensive food menu. All in all, the drinks are decent and the food is pretty good. Vibes are chill and no frills. Can't think of anything else you'd want more.

Come here for the drinks not the food. Bartender was nice. Music was pretty loud for the afternoon. Came in to try a new food spot as I work in the area. I won't be back. When I ate it, I could tell that their kitchen wouldn't be passing an upcoming review.

Came here a few times before always loved it, but the bartender Marco tonight definitely showed a bit favoritism. I've definitely gotten better service from every other bartender in the past. Other then that it was a good environment, great DJ for karaoke. $1 wings on Wednesdays is a score.

Great place. Nice dark bar to belly up to. My friend and I came here for lunch before an art show down the street. My friend Ann will always get breakfast ~ me? Lunch. She had the eggs and hash. She loved it. I went with the Reuben and tater tots. Fantastic. My vote for best Reuben in Denver. Fight me

I used to frequent this bar - last night there were 2 rats inside by the front door. Pretty disgusting and I won't be back. Don't trust the staff or health code adherence at this place.

Great little pub with tvs on the bottom floor, arcade games on the second, and a nice rooftop patio! The drinks and specials are plentiful and the bartender was happy to change the tv to the game we were looking for. For bar food I was pleasantly surprised. The fried pickles came out super quick and they were piping hot. The Rueben (pictured) was delicious! Definitely our fave and will be ordering again next time. I also enjoyed that the Caesar wrap was toasted. The only thing I didn't love was the onion rings, but not a problem since I enjoyed the fries and know to get those next time.

I came here Memorial Day with a friend in town and we really enjoyed it! The bartender was super nice and opened up the patio for us and the guy working was great too! We ordered wings and queso and everything was great!

I live in the hood and come in frequently for beers and a snack. Great neighborhood crowd and nice staff. Fun upstairs patio. The second floor has video games and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is there is no pinball. I know I know but I love pinball. Support the biz

I've been going to the goat for 13 years but hadn't been for awhile. The first thing I noticed was that it was dead at happy hour. All the longtime regulars were gone. Had a few beer and the first bartender insulted me. I said something to the next bartender about all the long time locals were gone and he said "I'm not going to take this negativity" so I cashed out and left zero tip. RIP another great Denver dive bar that got ruined by the new owners and new bartenders. All you have to do is look at the lack of long-time locals to see the wring on the wall.

Loved when I came by. Got a little strange with the sex games but I gotta vibes for a bit... probably a better pre grame place

This bar might not look like much on the outside but it's nicer once you're inside. It's a multi-storey yet cozy sports bar that have enough TVs for whatever you'd like to watch. We stopped by for a couple drinks and the staff were happy to serve us. It happened to be happy hour and the prices weren't bad. For about $50 we had 4 beers, 2 shots and 3 plates of shareable food. My partner absolutely loved the chicken wings plus they gave us a huge amount of sauce. The plate of tater tots was both tasty and enormous. Probably too enormous. There's no way we could finish eating that entire plate between the two of us. We also had meatballs which were delicious. Looks delicious just looking at it too. See photos. I wish the outside door looked more appealing as we weren't sure what we were walking into at first. Besides from that, it was a delightful and I'd be happy to come back.

The Fainting Goat is one of the best bars in cap hill. Sports on many TV's, darts, pool, upstairs patio, karaoke on Friday, and Claire is the best bartender in Denver. She'll pretty much do anything you ask if you tell her it's your bday

This place is awesome, the old school rustic Irish style mixed with new music and a couple games of pool make this a great afternoon or late spot night. If you get a chance get the phillicheese tots, outstanding. Ask for Marco this guys a great bartender and a great addition to any conversation, thank you Fainting Goat, cheers till next time

Foremost this place is awesome. I take everyone visiting from out of town here whenever I get the chance. Marco is the man! I've been going here all summer long, and while the whole staff always is excellent he truly goes above and beyond. Growing up out of state I've always loved finding the atmosphere of a smaller, homely style bar. This place checks all marks. Would recommend this gem to anyone visiting and looking forward to being a regular for years to come!

Came on a Thursday with some friends for the half price apps. Meatballs were good, green chili was nicely spiced and flavorful. Probably wouldn't have been satisfied paying full price for them. Decent enough lively atmosphere for a Thursday. One of the bartenders was very rude to my friend, he was a short guy with a backwards hat. He was scratching a scratch off lottery ticket he bought from a machine on their pool table. He yelled at him to not do that and came over and rudely brushed off the tiny bits of scratched off material off the very already-beer stained felt. Will not come back because of him.

Apparently this is a country bar now, you have to buy music credits to hear anything but cuntry. Also the bartender doesn't know the difference between whisky and rye. You don't run into that at country bars. So not authentic

Could've been better - Its a bar with a nice rooftop. I had the mac n' cheese there one night and it was great. Months later I ordered it again for lunch and it was way off the mark. I picked it up and didn't look at it until I got home and called in after I saw that it wasn't the same as before or as it is advertised. I was told the manager would call back and issue a refund but never got that call. So check out the pictures below: What they advertise: extra crispy chicken tenders tossed in buffalo sauce. Finished with bleu cheese crumbles and panko bread crumbs. What I got: grilled chicken not crispy tenders, buffalo sauce, I did not get the bleu cheese crumble or panko bread crumbs.

If you don't wanta watch what the bartender wants to watch. Your crap out of luck. Even though your the paying customer. Had one drink and split. Bar lost out on the 5 of us drinking and eating for at least 3 hours all because the bartender wanted to watch his game and not what the paying customers wanted to watch And he was pretty much the only one watching it We'll find a better bar to spend our money at! Cheers fainting goat. won't be back there anytime soon

Not really one to go out of my way to celebrate St. Patty's day like that, the bf and I, for some odd reason, found ourselves roaming the streets this year looking for green beer. And by streets, I really just mean Broadway. And thank the Irish Gods because that's exactly where the Fainting Goat lives. So, we didn't drink any green beer, but we did get in on a couple of Irish Car Bombs (because why not) and some food from their Patty's Day menu. Just a handful of items on deck that day, but what we tried were actually very good. The bf with a Reuben and fries - a generous pile of corned beef with swiss in between a couple pieces of rye. Very traditional and very good. I tried Corned Beef and Cabbage for what I think was the first time, and that beef was really delicious - flavorful and not as salty as I was anticipating it to be. Tender and perfectly fatty with a side of cabbage, carrots, and I believe even more corned beef - so good. Irish comfort food I could definitely get down with any day of the year. I can't say much else about the space and food served on non-Irish holidays, though it looks like a pretty popular spot for football games and many drinks. I would not be opposed to making this a new St. P's day tradition.

The food is so yummy. Had to wait a bit before we could attend an event and decided to stop by The Fainting Goat, so happy we did! The pretzel is effing delicious. Drinks are just right, would definitely visit again!

A very fun venue. Great wings and sauces. Food was fresh, drinks were cold. Good for small groups or big groups.

All of the staff were super punctual and attentive. The wings were OUTSTANDING (and I have pretty high expectations for my wings). 3 different floors to hop around to. Great all around!

Had the most amazing experience here! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It's a great environment and place to hang out and play some pool or chill on the rooftop. The manager Angela checked on us and all the other guests to make sure everything was perfect. I was thrilled to find out all the food is prepared and made in house and you can tell by the quality! Best chicken tenders I've ever had

This place has gone downhill big time omg. Hiked up prices, food is pathetic and drinks served warm. To top it off I had to actually beg to get sound turned on for bronco game. Apparently playing old Lynyrd Skynyrd is more important at a "Sports bar" in Denver Colorado for the literally 3 dudes in this dump. To top it off they wouldn't honor their OWN freaking advertisement! See the attached pic. What fools are running this place now? Sad... really sad.

I went in and it immediately smelt terrible in there. They denied my friends who were 21 and the food sucked. I pissed on the wall.

Fainting Goats always make me laugh so when I saw this place pop-up on Yelp I New I was going to like it. I went in the middle of the day so I didn't get the full experience but what I saw I liked. Bar is big and the bartender was friendly and efficient. They had Cider is to me always the place a true Pub. Everyone on Yelp and the menu said the Fish & Chips was one if not the best in the city so I ordered that. It did not disappoint. Two large well crushed and crunchy pieces of fish and the chips aka fries were good. I would definitely be back to see how they do Happy Hour.

Not sure what was in their pickle juice but it was spicy! I liked it (: The wings were such a nice surprise as well! I recommend the buffalo garlic sauce (: Also tried the Irish nachos - they're massive, nice for a group share

The sever was nice but not attentive the food was good but this is literally a dive bar a loud bar nothing nice and I paid for a burger and a soda and a side of onion rings average food for a Bar it cost me 40 including tip I can eat at a much nicer and quieter place for that price if not cheaper . Will not be coming back

Service is awesome, food is alright it lacked seasoning and I think they should change the oil in the fryer :( I ended up getting a grilled cheese which was delicious drinks hit though so good.

The downstairs of this place is definitely a dive bar, thankfully we discovered the upstairs roof deck. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the blackened chicken wrap which when it arrived, we were both pretty surprised at how tiny it was, however when he was finished he said he was actually quite full. Tater tots were good too!

How can you not want to hang out at a place called "The Fainting Goat?" Especially when they have board games. And darts. And shuffleboard. So many wonderful things. They even have Woodchuck's Gumption cider, one of my favorites. This is a casual, welcoming, homey pub. Wooden bar and heavy wooden tables, and everything looks kind of old and well-loved in the best way. You feel like you can stay all day and relax. That's pretty much what I did on my last visit. We intended to simply order beer and cider, which we did of course, but we also couldn't help perusing the menu and ordering a fair amount of food. Our waiter was so kind and patient, making sure to clarify with the chef what is gluten free and what isn't. I ended up with a burger sans bun with alllllll the toppings, plus a side of garlic mashed potatoes which were amazing. We enjoyed playing darts even though they were kind of falling apart and the chalkboard thing you're suppose to write on doesn't work at all! I look forward to returning for some shuffleboard and board game battles.

Wanted to try something a little different and found it at the Fainting Goat!! I ordered the Broadway burger and was delighted. This is the best, messiest, perfect burger I've had in a long time. Once you pick it up and take your first bite, be prepared not to put it down. The jalapeño cream cheese gives just the right amount of heat and creamiest addition! The meat was cooked perfectly and had the perfect amount of crunchy char. The tots were fresh and tasty too! My companion ordered the Mac and cheese which was also fantastic. Just the right amount of poblano and thick cut bacon. I was almost sad I didn't order that at first. The green chili stew was different but still good. Derive was impeccable !! We will be back!!

Just came here for a beer- it's conveniently located on Broadway with easy parking. I remember a jukebox and some games. On a Friday night, they weren't full and it looked like their regulars were happy to have a place to hang that's not their home.

I still dream about the chicken fingers. Cute, divey spot. Main floor with the bar and the local crowd. Several TVs which they will put on your game if it isn't busy which we got lucky on to watch the USWNT for Olympic qualifiers. They've got a happy hour, pretty good service for running between the bar and dining room. Second floor is a cool area with darts and a private area to hang out. I haven't made it to the rooftop yet but looking forward to it here soon. Highly recommend if you need a laid back dive bar vibe.

I really like the Fainting Goat Pub for a number of reasons. First, their food, while very 'American bar' style, is really quite good. I've tried a burger, one of the sandwich options, and the fish & chips, and each was very tasty. Next, the ambiance is very lively and fun. It's a relatively 'skinnier' bar format, but is also very vertical, in that you can hike stairs to upper levels for more elbow room and a different vibe than the bustling street level bar. Lastly, the staff is quick and friendly, and the place seems generally well run. Parking is street only, but in that stretch of Broadway, there are usually plenty of metered spots available that stop metering at 6:00pm.

The help was very friendly & attentive. As for the food: Pretzel appetizer was ok. Pretzel warm & dipping sauces were good. Green chili was very good, spicy enough w good flavor but the corn tortillas were cold, a bit dry, & blah. Detracted from an otherwise nice dish. Provolone cheeseburgers were ok. Fries were typical frozen nothing special. Arnold Palmer was not very good...lemonade was awful. And if you care they are coke not pepsi. Atmosphere was nice. Need to step up finer points on the food side.

A great hangout spot, especially at happy hour from 4pm to 7pm when there are $5 wings, nachos, and a handful of other items. The food is reasonably priced, general public food, but done well. My friends love the fish n chips, for $12 you get what seems like 2 huge pieces of fish that make up a whole fish. The chicken tenders are good, they are crispier and served with house made BBQ sauce. The mac and cheese balls are made with their ancho chili mac and cheese, these are good but not outstanding. As for drinks, the beer selection is on the smaller side, maybe 10-12 to pick from. Good enough for me, but they might not have your favorite craft brew. I love the chill atmosphere, and while it's only pub food, it's really well done pub food. Definitely will be a go-to hangout spot with my friends.

Why would you advertise being open Thanksgiving day, if you are not actually going to open? As friends and I arrived just before 2:30 to breakaway from traditional activities for a bit, we quickly realized we had completely wasted our time and ruined part of our holiday thanks to the extreme unprofessionalism. Maybe next time, either open like you said you would, or update your website if you don't. It takes five minutes. Thanks for the extreme inconvenience.

Radical rooftop patio, lust-worthy lunch special, and a heartwarming hostess. I will return! (Probably not though because I live in St. Louis)

While walking to a dispensary, we stumbled on a street sign that read: $2 mimosas-So of course we had to go in. These mimosas are nothing like what I have ever seen. They don't use the normal champagne glasses, they literally serve their mimosas in pitcher glasses (pls refer to my picture). 2 drinks later you are feeling really good because they are quite generous on the champagne. Our server was Norman-super chill guy with very attentive customer service. The food was very tasty. I posted pictures on what we all orders. You cannot go wrong with there carne asada friends or nachos. *The GREEN CHILI here is pretty good. I have definitely have had better... But the chili here is pretty good!

Very good. Saturday 130pm great service. Had the tommyknocker IPA, very flavorful. Rooftop bar is small, the fish and chips was hot and light. The tachos were really good. We are in for short weekend but would recommend this place!

The service is nice, I ordered wings and they were really dried, I must say that for sports their beer on tap selection is really small.

Whatever Floats Your Goat OK, I didn't get that expression entirely right, but who needs boats when you have goats? Seriously though, The Fainting Goat is a fantastic little pub right in the Golden Triangle neighborhood. You can grab a cold, frosty pint to knock the edge off of a tough workweek, or have a nice sit down meal at a table or booth of your liking. The menu at Fainting Goat is actually one of the many pleasant surprises you'll find here. Knock your socks off with a killer burger and an order of Irish nachos (house made chips, corned beef, & Swiss cheese, topped with horseradish dijonnaise). The weekend is for fun and fun is what you'll have! Enjoy drinks with your friends on top of their quaint rooftop patio while basking in the midday sun or soaking in the late night breeze. It just doesn't get any better than The Fainting Goat. No pretensions. All Irish class!

Celebrated at fainting goat after the St. Patricks day parade this weekend. It was busy which was fine, it is actually a fairly big place with 3 levels. The rooftop is gorgeous and has great views of the mountains. My girlfriends and I had drinks and food, and probably the best service I've ever experienced in a bar setting. Our waiter, who was also the manager was awesome (I wish I could remember his name!) Everyone seemed to really enjoy their jobs at the fainting goat which was so cool! Mark the owner sat down with us and chatted with the group, he also was so nice and friendly. Had the buffalo chicken wrap with tots and blue cheese..it was very tasty. My whole experience here was so great, the goat will definitely be my new neighborhood hangout.

Came in with the intentions to sit on the roof and have a few drinks and happy hour apps. On the website, the board outside the door it says happy hour from 3-7! So I asked the waitress and she rudely said "that's pre-Covid" we are the only ones in here and it took forever for our order to be placed. She was outside smoking as soon as we came in. She is VERY rude. I come here a lot bc the wings are amazing and the service WAS good. We say thank you she responds w "mhmm" so needless to say I will not be back and this was a piss poor service

So I am here trying their bloody Mary as I am on a quest to find the best one on Capitol Hill. So far, I would put this at the top of the list.

I ordered their burger with onion rings and it was juicy and delicious. The margarita was kinda strong and need more margarita mix and lime juice.

The steak and cheese nachos are great. As is the fish and chips. Not a fan of the coleslaw. Hubby said the wings are crispy but a little greasy. And the Mac and cheese ball is good. Could use a little more seasoning but i did try it without the sauce. All in all. A nice lunch with a drink. I would definitely one back when in town.
