    Biscuit French Toast, The Franklin, Sully Fries, Hashbrowns
    Shaelyn H.

    We ordered from the Denver Biscuit Co menu and everything we got was really good. The service was pretty fast and the ambiance was welcoming. They also have bottomless coffee at no charge which was pretty cool.

    The Lola

    We stopped in here for a bite to eat before an outing at the museum. They were very busy, but we were seated pretty quickly. We enjoyed several different sandwiches and some really delicious cheesy grits. My husband got the Lola. It was tasty. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Very nice My daughter got the last Cubano of the day. Man was it something else. Ham Swiss cheese, delicious pickles, a yummy sauce and the chicken was great. I got to take a bite of everything and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Service was good atmosphere was very lively. They do have outside seating. Parking was on the street and was not that difficult on this day.

    Sat at the bar and had a nice experience. Bartenders were attentive and the food came out fairly quickly. The burger was delicious and juicy, would definitely recipe d getting the garlic Parmesan fries as well.

    THE BEELER

    Atmosphere was very up Our waitress was very nice and friend The breeler...there could have been more spice to the chicken. 1/10 The Franklin 12/10 Cinnamon roll- the outside was a little over cooked making it kinda tough 9/10 100% recommend this place!

    Kids cheese

    Overall this place was great! The pizza was pretty affordable for a slice. Definitely a place I would go again. The Overall ambiance is basic restaurant/bar but cool stuff to look at. Service was pretty straightforward and attentive.

    New York Slice
    Cyrus A.

    Atomic Cowboy is a quintessential sports bar -- come for the bar atmosphere, including sports on TV and classic bar food. I tried the "New York" style pizza, and it was okay. The thin, crispy crust was on brand, but the sauce tasted like something from a frozen slice, and cheese wasn't particularly flavorful. My slice with toppings (mushrooms and jalapeño) was much better than the plain slice I tried. Slices are big, so you'll certainly get your money's worth. And if you go in expecting a standard sports bar experience, you won't be disappointed.

    The Lola
    Elena M.

    We loved everything we ordered! For a sweet tooth - the Biscuit French toast with the fruit compote was so delicious! We tried the Lola - which was like a delicious version of chicken and waffles. The Franklin was so savory and full of flavor. We also tried the Lights Out smash burger - the sauce on it made the burger something special. This place was a great atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend!

    Read this as one of the places to try out in Denver. We got here at 11.30am on Labor Day holiday and the wait was about 20 mins for a table of 2. The ambience is nice with interesting decor. Some parts of the restaurants is a little more dimly lit than the rest. They also have outdoor bar stool seating. outdoor patio and nice comfy ac indoor seating which we opted for. We ordered the Franklin with mushroom sauce and an egg and strawberry shortcake. The Franklin was ok. After the first few bites you feel that the taste starts to downgrade. It's hard to describe but as you take every bites it's gets less better. The strawberry shortcake was too sweet with the whip cream on top of it, once you remove it , it's slightly better. Overall the food was just average.

    We dropped by after a flight from Houston after seeing good reviews. We were skeptical about ordering because I wanted a burger, one of my kids wanted pizza, my other son wanted wings and my daughter wanted biscuits, lol, so surprisingly this place had all of the above. Surely this jack of many trades is master of none......I was dead wrong, everything was ever so ON POINT, the service was great we had to be the only brown people in this joint but we felt so welcomed the decorations, the music and overall atmosphere made for such cool vibes and I'm so glad to have found this gem!

    The Beeler with cheddar
    Julia B.

    We were sat right away during lunch time and this place had lots of credible sources with being on food channels and awards. I went with the Beeler chicken biscuit that has house made ranch, house made pickles, and a Nashville hot chicken breast. It was not something I'd normally order but it was the best chicken biscuit I've ever had. Starters- The biscuit was massive, flaky but held together. Buttery but had its own flavor. Had a sweet taste that wasn't overpowering. The chicken was massive, juicy, crispy, seasoned spice but not super spicy. It wasn't a hot sauce flavor but a special batter flavor. It was so good. It had their ranch and homemade pickles which were a fresh pickle taste that would be missed if you took it off. I was glad it didn't taste cucumber-ish. I also added a slice of cheddar cheese. I ordered waffle fries which were crunchy in every bite with a great clean fried taste. I demolished my plate. We ordered the half size cinnamon roll to go and it was delicious and huge. Yum! Our waitress was nice and consistent. It was a bar/tavern setting therefore casual dress. Go there.

    Tomahawk with syrupy drizzle

    This review is specifically for the Denver Biscuit Co., the Tomahawk biscuit was so delicious!! The actual biscuit was buttery and flakey and the sausage was cooked to perfection! Great service, I would definitely recommend and return!!

    Waffle fries
    Abby T.

    After a great concert at the Bluebird just down the street we decided to stop here for some food! We are so thankful thier kitchen is open till close. It was open seating and we were greated right away by our waitress Liz. Started with the Carmel espresso martini, our waitress informed us it was added to the menu that day. It was amazing, the sweet carmel with the tart espresso was a wonderful combination and perfect for the holidays. We then shared the waffle fries, the seasoning on the fries is so good and they were so crispy. After was the big ass slice, it was so kind of her to offer to cut in half for us since we split it. I was honestly blown away with how good the pizza was, the crust was not too thick but not too soft, it was just right. The cheese was stringy and not overly greasy. We devoured it so quickly. We ended the meal with the ice cream sando and to say it was delicious is an understatement. The taste of the fried biscuits with powder sugar reminded us of beignets thats how sweet and soft they were. They fell apart easily with just a spoon. The warm biscuit with cold oreo ice-cream between was the perfect paring. It also did not escape us that our waitress timed the food coming out perfectly! She waited until we were done eating our meal before bringing out the dessert. We loved that and were able to enjoy every last bite! We had a wonderful experience here, the food left us speechless and satisfied. Highly recommended this place, we will be back!

    Pool table inside
    Yulaidi S.

    Came here after binging Triple D and checking out where in Denver Guy Fieri went to. Was not disappointed! I did miss out on trying the biscuit with the pulled pork since this location ran out but otherwise the biscuit I did try (the Louisiana hot chicken one) and pizza (I just had pep with banana pepper) was delicious. Food alone is great but the service was also very attentive and lively. Was also communicative about the timing of food due to it being two kitchens. Really appreciate it. Was even recommended to try out the other location since the biscuit I wanted wasn't available there. Place has a pool table near one side of the place and has a regular diner feel. It was great and I hope to come back to Denver to try the pulled pork!

After 6pm, entry is restricted to guests 21 and over. The rooftop views are amazing, it is a great spot to relax, especially around sunset. The vibe is lively but still comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation. There is plenty of seating but it was crowded when we arrived but we were able to find some seats close to a fire pit to stay warm. They offer a menu of shareable bites with a global spin. We ordered the chips and guacamole made with avocado and fresh made tortilla chips. We split the braised short rib tacos with avocado, cojita and radish that came with three tacos per order. The steak tacos were very tender and plentiful with toppings. We also tried a variety of cocktails from their bar. Their winter drink menu that highlights warm and spiced cocktails, a curated wine bottle list, and a spectrum of Denver's favorite craft beers. I tried the mezcal hot chocolate that was served with toasted marshmallows on top. Also tried a peach mocktail and asked them to add mezcal. Both cocktails were elevated and hand crafted. Other people in my party tried the Elevated Old Fashioned with Brush creek strait bourbon, angostura amaro, dry curacao, honey. Service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out quickly. It's a great spot for drinks with a view, light bites, or for a fun night on the town.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.
