    Omg!
    Pamela M.

    There are a few unique things here to know! One, and I'm not sure how long they've been doing this, but they give you a free house drink with the purchase of a movie or show ticket. The Regal cinema is right in this same complex, so that's really nice to get a free drink! Two is, they have ice cream drinks! Kind of a unique thing to find. I don't often go the sweet route for drinks, but I will say, ice cream drinks are very tasty! I haven't had one at this establishment, and I'd have to be in the mood for something like that, but just seeing them on the menu was something worth noting. I have only eaten here once so I don't feel I have enough info to review the food at this point. You can kind of miss the place if you don't walk right by it, being a little bit tucked away on 16th mall.

    We decided to try out this burger spot since it's highly rated and had a lot of reviews. We ordered the jalapeños popper burger and what the gauc burger, both were decent burgers. Although, they were specialty burgers - both burgers seem a little underwhelming and just standard burgers. Nothing too exciting. The fries were okay, a bit overcooked. Prices were a little steep for what it was. Service was okay. Our server was nice, but seemed like he didn't want to be there.

    This was close to our hotel and was highly rated so we went in. It is a cute place right off the street. They have outdoor seating which is nice. One of the highlights was the I can't decide burger which you can pick 2 different burgers. We actually went back the next day to try something else. I wasn't as impressed at the lunch special which turned out to be one of the can't decide ones. I had the prime burger which unfortunately was way over cooked. The best thing was the stuffed tots. The service was great and we were seated quickly.

    My friend and I were staying nearby and stopped to grab food. It was a nice day so we sat on the patio. I ordered the perfect burger and she got to birria burger. My brother was pretty good but I didn't feel it was amazing. I found myself reaching for the yummy fries more. My friend said her burger was great. We got a large fry to share between us and couldn't finish them. It's a bummer the burgers don't come with fries but overall this was a positive experience. If I could go back I'd try the two jumbo sliders for a chance to try more!

    On a random afternoon we found ourselves walking through the Pavillion along 16th street. The 5280 is a quaint burger joint tucked away within the shops. There was plenty of seating amd no real lunch rush. Being vegetarian, I was drawn to their Greek falafel burger with hummus and greek spread. To my dismay, they were out of the falafel burgers! But, our waitress asked the kitchen to use the falafel balls in their apps to make a patty... at my suggestion. And they did! Turned out just fine and tasty! The Perfect burger lunch special and a the fried chicken burger were equally delicious! Great customer service and a relaxed atmosphere topped off the afternoon.

    Arrived on a Friday around 1:45pm was sat immediate in a high top around the bar area. Was pleased to see the menu prices were actually cheaper than the recent menu photos I was viewing on Yelp before arriving. Disappointed to learn the burgers do not come with any sides. Ordered a large side of fries for $7.99 to split with my partner. They were delicious but wayyy too salty. I order the Baja Colorado burger with the impossible burger for $2 extra. The party was decently burnt but it was a good burger all together. The bathroom was weirdly super dark which was quite creepy. The service was quick and good.

    Salmon burger lettuce wrapped

    We were craving a burger... This place with the bill! We were a little confused because there are so many 5280 restaurants that are all in the same area but separate. So it was a little confusing... But we found our burger! I got a standard burger, lettuce wrapped, and my husband got a salmon burger also lettuce wrapped. Both were cooked to perfection! The fries were incredible and a side of mac & cheese? Always a must! Our server was super friendly and he joked around a lot. And the vibes of the restaurant were really casual and fun. It would be a fun place to watch a game or hang out with friends!

    I've been here before, but honestly this is one of my favorite burger joints in Denver. The Burger bar does not disappoint. It was the first place I stopped once I got downtown a don was tired and hungry. There are many different types of burgers here and I have tried many of them - I can;t say that any of them have disappointed. They are well presented and come with great sides (Try the Brussels sprouts!) this time I got the fries (I know basic- but they are great fries too!). The ambience is very may sports-bar restaurants vibe, the servers are generally friendly and the food is great!

    Our server was super attentive and was super friendly. We arrived during lunch hour on a Friday afternoon. It wasn't busy at all so we got immediately seated. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we sat in the back corner. The food was great and came out pretty quick!

    So the wife and I stoped by here for a drink the first night. The bartender was awesome. The food looked amazing told him we would be back the next night. So glad we came back the burgers we got were amazing. The beer and drinks were so yummy and it was nice to sit and watch Monday Night Football with all the screens. The people are so friendly I highly recommend this place! Cheers there as play good music there!!

    Great spot, great good. I had the chicken bites, light and crispy- I got all the sauces to try the honey and bbq were my favorite. Truffle fries were good and my fiance has the wagu burger and was obsessed

    CLASSIC CHICKEN SANDWICH with SIDE SALAD
    Ravindra M.

    Convenient location a few minutes walk from the convention center in Downtown Denver. The restaurant had a bar like vibe and it was busy but we were able to get seated quickly. The burger selection was decent. I ordered a chicken based burger with guac. The chicken was tender and tasted delicious . We visited during a lunch break at the conference and were able to order, eat and pay within the hour. It's worth a visit.

    THE DURANGO
    Jonathon Q.

    Visited in February 2025 during a conference and enjoyed my time. I sat at the bar and ordered "The Durango" burger and was impressed. The jalapeno cream cheese was something I hadn't had on a burger before but was intrigued when I saw it on the menu. There was almost no jalapeno flavor/heat (which I was thankful for). The burger patty was so juicy that I didn't even really need any condiments. While we were there, the service was pretty quick and the staff were friendly. I would go back again!

    Call ahead seating?

    It's first come first serve

    The menu says the have "Wagyu" beef for $6 extra? Is it true wagyu?

    Not sure what you mean by "true" wagyu. The burger patty is ground so it's not like a super-marbled steak or anything. But I ordered it and it was really good.

    Do they still have bison burgers?

    Yes. Just ordered one today 10-07-23

    Is the meat halal?

    I don't exactly know if the meat was halal, but I would imagine the restaurant would indicate somewhere on the menu, if it was. So I would lean more on saying no.

    Are the wings breaded?

    No they are not

    What do you have for Plant Based options?

    Gluten free bun option?

    We don’t have a bun but we have a house made gluten-free friendly wrap! It’s delicious.

    Are y'all trying to be a five guys?

    500x better than Five Guys - not even comparable.

    How is parking?

    One can always try for a meter within three blocks of the place. Alternatively, there is a parking garage beneath the Denver pavilions.

    Yard House says they have "Great Beer... with the world's largest selection of draft beer, Great…read morefood & Great Music". They play classic rock & it's loud. A little hard to have a conversation across the table. However, the food was wonderful. We arrived late in the afternoon on a Sunday & they were relatively busy. Yard House has been around for 30 years with tons of locations all over the U.S. This location is in the downtown Sheraton Hotel & of course being downtown parking can be a challenge. Yard House doesn't take reservations but they do have a Waitlist. Service was great...we were seated immediately & greeted by our friendly & attentive Server. Drinks & Apps came fast. We had the Fried Calamari & Miguel's Queso Dip to start. The crispy Calamari was nice & tender - served with two yummy sauces, a Spicy Tomato & a Roasted Jalapeño Tarter. The Queso Dip was good as well but we needed more of everything - dip, tortillas & chips. We had a couple of entrees. First, was a 20 oz Bone-in Korean Rib Eye with Grilled Shrimp & Chili Garlic Fries. This was a huge plate of deliciousness. The steak was cooked perfectly & marinated in a strong soy ginger marinade which I enjoyed. The Grilled Shrimp were a nice compliment & the Fries were spicy. In hindsight I should have chosen the Parmesan Mashed Potatoes as my side to balance out the dish better. Our second entree was Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, this was good as well - grilled chicken & creamy Alfredo. What a fun place to go with tasty food.

    Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.

I was unimpressed with the quality & quantity of the food, especially based on the Mile high prices. My burger was very flat, almost like a cheap hamburger patty from a fast food restaurant.

The building itself is beautiful so there is a star for that and the cowboy art on the wall. We ordered some whiskey drinks that did not dissapoint. The Peacemaker is very booz forward, while the Big Blue Bear is milder. Our service was nice and quick. We decided to start with an app of Artichoke dip. It came out in a skillet, but was not very hot. The cheese on top was not melted and I had to use a knife and fork to cut it up rather than dip bread in it. It was tasty all the same but would have been much better and more enjoyable had it been thorougly cooked. This put us off a bit, so we opted to skip the entree and go straight for dessert. The Burbon Peach Crumble is also served in a skillet, and - you guessed it - also lukewarm. It made for a very dense hard to spoon out experience. If it had been hot like one would expect in a skillet, I believe it would have been better. The photos on their website look really great and the two dishes I mentioned look like they are cooked much better than what we recevied. Maybe we just had an off night, I am not sure. I am uncertain if we are up for trying again....
