My ex and I joined the Growler of the Month Club at Bigsby's back in 2020, during our first visit that summer. We loved the ambiance, feeling like we'd really discovered a gem off the beaten track, pun intended. By joining the club, it was a monthly excuse to plan a special night out to what became one of our favorite places for date night. It's been a couple of years now, but we had occassion to meet the owners, when we mistook their closing time for an hour later. The lights were still on, so we didn't realize our mistake, until they'd already invited us in to exchange our monthly growler with such warmth. Super nice people, reflecting the vibe we always felt on our other visits. The staff echoes that disposition, always friendly and knowledgeable. Though the winery isn't on-site, I've always been impressed with their tasting experience. I've now been a member for over 5 years, going in at least once a month, and they still suggest trying seasonal options and have broadened my palette... Though my ex and I have parted ways for a long while now and he moved away, he's kept our membership current, calling it my "alimony," and a nod to remembering the good times we had together. I recommend Bigsby's for all the good memories for all the folks, be it a lazy summer afternoon on the patio or a cozy evening in the lounge area with a glass of red when it's cold outside! read more

Four stars because service started off rocky. I came in right behind a table of four and while they were sat immediately, the staff member walked off and I stood there for at least another five minutes without being acknowledged. Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar. read more

Had an awesome night at Bigsby's Folly. The vibe is cool, the wine selection is great, and the staff absolutely crushed it on a super busy night. Highly recommend the crudo -- fresh and has a great chili crunch. But the biggest surprise on the menu was the truffle grilled cheese... ridiculously good. Shout out to Fernanda, it was her first day and she took amazing care of us! read more

We stopped in for a glass of wine on a weeknight because we heard from friends about how nice this place is. Checking in was simple, though they were busy when we arrived with a large group in the private back room. Service was great. The menu is also great. They have a fair amount of wine in their menu, but I didn't see names of wines (brands/names), so I asked and learned that they either make their own or work with others to make a wine for them. So, I chose their higher-end cab to try and it was pretty decent on the first few tastes. Slightly fruity, which I'm not too fond of. But noticed that overall it feel flat, yet it was decent, just not worth the price. We tried their choose three meat/cheese board and that was really nice! Came with some great accoutrement and was fresh and tasty. The venue is beautiful and nicely decorated. Definitely would recommend stopping in! read more

Wow! This place was exquisite. We selected Bigsby's for Denver Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. Their regular menu includes amazing snacks and meals as well as flights of their wine and cocktails. For RW, Bigsby's had a flight paired with a small taste for each wine in the flight. The small tastes were well selected and paired perfectly with the wine. The kumquat is my new favorite add on! We sat at the bar and the bar stools were comfortable- iykyk. The bartender was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what we needed. We added an elote flatbread to our order and that was delicious as well. The place itself is well designed and offers indoor and outdoor seating. It is a great place for groups as well. Highly recommend and will go back to try another flight and delicious food. read more

We came for brunch and had a great time. The quiche was delicious, service was attentive, and the interior was really nice. I didn't realize they served brunch and it was pretty quiet right at opening time but it filled in a bit as we were leaving. We were able to reserve for a large party which was impressive for the Denver brunch scene. Super fun and would be back. Everyone's meals looked amazing. read more

Had a fun Restaurant Week experience with a Reserve Tasting and attentive service. My friend and I sat at the bar and were treated to a perfectly timed pairing of wine and bites. Five tastes with five bites and a dessert liqueur of your choice at $45 was worth it. Set under the giant chandeliers juxtaposed against the earthy wooden beams, Bigsby's Folly meets all sorts of tastes. Our server was knowledgeable on the wines and the food pairings. The way the dried kumquat offset the bitterness of the rosé was mind blowing, who would have thought of fennel shortbread with Pinot Noir, and crisp coffee braised pork belly with Malbec, chef's kiss! Wine and food were great. Will definitely return to try more. read more

I was enjoying some beautiful weather on my last day in Denver and wandered over to the re-gentrified RiNo arts district (definitely worth a visit!). I happened upon this very delightful appearing wine bar very conveniently located right by the 35th st pedestrian bridge. I was impressed by the very cute outdoor patio and gorgeous interior with warm wood and gold tones! And the food menu was very expansive for a wine bar, so I decided to check it out. The wine list is not that varied, but I went for their flagship rock drill red blend, which will not be worth the price point for everyone. But I'd say it's worthy for anyone wanting a very bold, slightly angry tobacco and tannin slap in the face. Interesting! Unfortunately the service was the same flavor- with a clearly overwhelmed barkeep and disorganized staff who couldn't figure out who to help. My water glass sat empty for the rest of the night. It's really a shame because otherwise I think this would have been a most lovely evening. I didn't bother writing about the food because unfortunately no matter how tasty, it will not absolve the woefully inadequate service. If you come here, I hope you'll have a better experience. But to end on a positive note, the gentleman who runs the Tuesday night trivia is great!!! read more

What's better than a Saturday that starts at a winery and ends at the Denver Art Museum? I was doing my normal yelp restaurant cruising and saw good reviews around Bigsby's Folly so wanted to give it a try - we made a reservation and went in for brunch. Service was ok, but the restaurant ambiance is beautiful and it's in a cool part of the RiNo area. The menu is broad and the food and wine were very nice. I had the breakfast burrito and the wine flight and it was an excellent start to an awesome day - we went in about 11 am which was a good time to beat the Saturday crowd. read more

I've been meaning to visit Bigsby's Folly since I first heard about the place via the gluten free crowd. I mean, the name alone is enough of a drawcard! It did not disappoint. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great wine menu and quite a few gluten free options. Thank you! I do wish, however, they wouldn't upcharge for GF options. It's unfair and customers with allergies are tired of it. (Especially when the options are smaller and not as good.) Otherwise, Bigsby's Folly has a fantastic ambience and would be perfect for a date or holding a special event. I love the decor and 1920s vibe. read more

My wife and I always have lovely nights out here. Tucked away in the outskirts of Rhino district, I really like how well lit the street is . Added bonus is the access to the light rail and being next to a public parking garage, makes arriving here a cinch. Summer nights call for outdoor seating on the patio, while they do have plenty of seating indoor you can't go wrong with your date a large group... But being a novice wine drinker that I am I was happy to have our server explain and lead us to a nice flight of wine, and glass of Sangria. The selections would keep experienced wine drinkers happy. We accompanied our drinks with a charcuterie board, but they do have a full kitchen and desserts ready if you want to indulge some more. If you are looking for a quite and luxurious night out you will love this establishment. read more

We have been going to Bigsby's since they opened. It is our go-to in the neighborhood and is the right atmosphere for just about everything. We've gone for dates nights, celebrations, MotoGP races, and weathered some of our own personal challenges there too, like losing loved ones and navigating other stressful events. The staff always meets us where we are - from tough moments to our finest moments. The wine is also excellent, while we appreciate trying the changing taps, we do find our favorites and stay with them for a while. Also - great food! Whether you want a snack or a full plate, the menu always has something nice to offer. read more

Loved the ambiance and service was nice. The reserve wines were quite good. Especially enjoyed the cab and Malbec. Would definitely recommend.

$30 wine and dinner on Mondays. The old warehouse with the wood beams is fascinating on its own, but the super attentive service and attention to detail should not be missed. It's all high tops but amazingly they are balanced and don't rock. Someone had to make that happen and she you are cutting a hand crafted margarita flat bread it's appreciated. Also, on Monday they have a special that our server Rachel suggested and we got a $60 carafe of Sonoma Cabernet with the flatbread for only $30. Thank Goodness it's Monday! read more

This was a choice I didn't make, but so glad it was made for me. I think of wineries in the country, but this place had truly epic food and drink.

This is a cute winery tasting room. We came here for pre-dinner drinks and had a good time. They offer two tastings, which feature 5-6 wines, as well as optional food pairings. However, we decided to opt for the wine flights, since we only had an hour before our dinner reservation at another restaurant. Each flight came with three pours. Two of us opted for the sparkling wine flight, and one of us chose three reds. The wine was great, our server was friendly, and the space was beautiful. We noticed a private event in the back of the space, and this would be such a lovely place for a party or rehearsal dinner. We also thought it was fun that the winery is named after the owner's dog! read more

I've driven and walked past Bigby's a few times while out with friends in RiNo but finally got the chance to check it out when my friend had a birthday party there for 15. They were very busy at the time of the party with multiple large parties like ours so I was skeptical about how our service was going to be. I was quickly proven wrong! Our servers were absolutely on top of their game! We never had an issue with slow service or waiting too long on anything. Thank you! The drinks served were all delicious and well-made while also being surprisingly affordable. Judging by the ambiance of the spot, I thought it would be very expensive, but the prices were not bad at all! I recommend booking Bigsby's for any parties you may need to host! read more

Came here for weekend birthday kickoff. The day was nice so we sat outside... right next to the railway. The menu offered a few specials/flights (which was a little confusing) as well as some food/bite options. Some friends went with the flight and a few of us just got some single glasses of wine. We also got the charcuterie & meat balls to share. Prices were a bit high, service was ok, vibe was good. read more

This is a great hangout spot! If it is your first time, I defiantly recommend the wine tasting! We had 5 full glasses of wine each and 2 people came out to 70/80$ including tip. This is a really good place to catch up with friends, get into deep conversations with significant others, or unwind form a busy week! They have draft wine witch is very different (and it changes frequently!) Come of a somewhat full belly, because their food options are not too good. But they do have decent snacks if needed in-between drinks! Service was friendly and knowledgeable! read more

I visited Bigsby's Folly with some friends on a Sunday evening and they were able to accommodate our party of 7 right away with no reservation. We were seated at a large oval table near the door, which made it perfect for all of us to easily communicate. For drinks, most of us ordered Classic Wine Flight Trio, which included three (pretty generous) pours of any three non-reserve wines for just $14. I can't remember what my first wine was (wasn't that into it), but I did love the Cabernet Sauvignon and Everyday Porch Pounder. For food, we decided to order a bunch of plates to share - the Truffle Popcorn (just okay but I'm not big on popcorn), Burrata (my favorite, so good), Fromage Platter (yum), and Southwest Goat Cheese Dip (a group favorite). My friends also ended up trying the Smoked Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies, which were apparently delicious and the Chocolate Cheesecake. Service was quick and our server was an absolute delight - wish I could remember her name! Overall, we had a great time, the ambiance was lovely, and I would definitely return. read more

This is a great venue. We sat at the bar since we did not want to wait for a table. It also looked like half the restaurant was being used by a private party. We could see all the people in the private party that was roped off. Husbands were wine snobs but were excited when they saw beer offered on the menu. I loved the decor of dogs and the theme of dogs as best friends. It was fun to see all the different styles throughout the location. We walked to this location during the summer months. It was located in an industrial area probably because it's cheaper than something that is set up appropriately. As said before, this location is within walking distance of light rail. read more

Overall not impressed and won't be back. Made a reservation on a Saturday for my sister's bachelorette Party. We were a group of 4 and got easily seated but placed in the back. Out server, light brown hair and has flower tattoos on her wrist and hand was the most lackluster person and clearly didn't want to be there. Didn't say her name, told her it's my sister's bday AND bachelorette and she didn't even say the obligatory niceties of "congrats". Didn't walk us through the menu basically just showed up and asked what we wanted to order like I'm sorry am I at a fast food restaurant or doing wine tasting? She had absolutely no knowledge on the wine when we asked her questions and overall just had an attitude. Tasting pairings are small its really meant to just be a bite. I saw they added a 4.5% surcharge for living wages aka they can't pay their employees so we have to? Be on the look for that we didn't notice until after it was charged. The only reason this place isn't getting a 1 star from me is the value. $39 for 5 glasses of wine with food pairings is pretty good and they were decent pours. They claim to have the "authenticity and tradition of California's most prestigious vineyards" sorry honey, I'm from the Napa area not even close. If you're actually a wine connoisseur, and would like to be treated like a decent human being from your server, don't come here. read more

Rude. No service and full of pretension. Felt very homophobic as an experience. Don't recommend.

One of our first stops in Denver was to check out the craft winery and breweries and Bigsby's Folly was next in line. I ordered the wine flight and ended up with their Zinfandel. I forget that Zinfandels are red, when I normally see them as pink! It's a must try and it's very tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Nitro C Amber and it was some good beer! We ordered the wild boar meatball and the mushroom bruschetta. I was underwhelmed by both dishes. The meatball tasted like a meatloaf with so much breading in it. The server confirmed with us that it was gluten free, but it should be called a meatloaf than a meatball. The mushroom bruschetta was just ok. It didn't taste like it was cooked since it was still a bit chewy. You're biting into goat cheese and mushroom. I'd also prefer that the bread was slightly more toasted for that crunch. read more

One of our go-to date night spots - we LOVE the atmosphere and vibes here. Great spots for weddings, parties, friends, family, coworkers and dates. Easy to find free parking - it's a bit away from the downtown walking scene and near by Zeppelin station. We recommend reservations on Fridays and weekends with larger groups. EPP is my go to red wine - but it's also everyone's favorite and sometimes they tap out for the evening. Cabernet Sauvignon would be my second go-to. Our go-to order - Cheese plate - we always ask for chef choice by the funkiest cheese. Why not since it's smaller portions so it's all worth trying something new than the standards. It includes pickles veggies, almonds, house-made mustard, and warmed baguette. I love their bread portions here - much friendly and heartier than the others. Service - we always seat at the bar so it can get busy from time to time. The staff is always crushing it so be patient if they are also serving a large group or party. Bar serves wine, beers and cocktails drinks. Enjoy! read more

Bigsby's folly has a nice atmosphere to enjoy wine. You can sit inside or outside. The service was pleasant. We did the VIP wine and food pairing experience with a small bite paired with each wine . Be prepared to uber there and back as the pours are generous. It was a really pleasant experience and the wines were lovely. The food was not the highlight and were more of an afterthought. The food was overall just ok, with some better than others. At the end we got a bottle of wine personalized . I would totally recommend this as a fun and special event.
