Fun spot, good food choices, dog friendly, kid friendly, and great to catch a game on the outdoor big screen. Good drink variety as well and a couple pool tables inside. Service is pretty quick as well once ordered. Order either via QR code or at the bar. They also have a smattering of heaters and fire pits to keep you warm in the chillier season. read more

A popular neighborhood restaurant Pub with a unique ordering system. You order everything thru the QR Code on your table OR you can order traditionally thru a Waiter/Waitress. The food and drink come out fast! Love the nachos with green chile and queso. They were hot and delicious! Its large outdoor seating area is a dedicated entertainment zone with lots of room for large groups and plenty of popular game options. The Bar area inside offers lots of TV's for your favorite sports. Love the concept. We'll be back! read more

This one is tough to write because we used to really enjoy Billy Birch, but our recent experience was a big letdown. The food came out cold and was missing ingredients that should come standard, which made the dishes feel incomplete and honestly not worth what we paid. Even more disappointing was the service--our servers were noticeably rude and snapped at us more than once, which made the whole meal uncomfortable. Another thing we noticed was the drink menu. They used to have a solid selection, but now it feels very limited compared to what it once was. We were genuinely excited to have Billy Birch in the neighborhood and had been regulars. Due to our last two encounters, we likely won't be returning. read more

Only come if you have 2 HOURS to wait for your food to come. It's a nice concept, but holy crap, I almost left after paying for $70 worth of food when none of it came for two entire hours. read more

It is a nice little neighborhood spot with a nice enclosed patio and kids area. It is a self service kind of place where you order through the QR code on the table, and staff delivers it to you, and you close out your tab through your phone. It allows you to check out and leave at your own time. Not everyone is into it though. The happy hours drink specials are good. The food is like chipotle but a little spicier but one note, but the prices are pretty similar. They could also use bigger corn hole boards. read more

Billy Birch Pub and Yard - Burrito bowls, pretzel appetizers, and kids quesadillas with French fries - Beer Gardens Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

I definitely want to like this place but it might be hard. I have been reading all the reviews this week of their opening week and they have been hit and miss. First thing, why am I tipping if I have to do everything. Second thing, you are in Colorado and you have no Colorado craft beers on tap or in can/bottle?! Not even a New Belgium or Odell. The best thing on the beer list, that I'm going to order, is the non alcoholic hazy ipa. Third thing, we don't need more Mexican around here. Fourth, large yard area and lots of yard games. Lots of tables and umbrellas. Inside is all High Tops. Didn't try the food but looks decent. I think this place will be popular because there is nothing in the area. I've heard lots of changes coming from a post on IG. Atmosphere is fun. Lots of TVs and good music. Cheers! read more

Billy Birch Pub and Yard - Beer Gardens Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Venue & Ambiance 5/5. Service 3/5. Food 2/5. Nice space to sit on the patio with friends or a dog and visit. Staff was unnecessarily curt and even rude, which makes me suspect mismanagement. Food was below average. Will not be back. read more

They charge cards multiple times, and it's a nightmare trying to get ahold of anyone to fix it. This has happened to several families we know, so it's clearly a pattern. Staff are rude, the ordering system barely works, and bartenders don't pay attention to the orders being printed. We've been here multiple times and have been disappointed every single visit. Truly a sad excuse for a place to hang out. read more

Perfect for kids and families when weather is good! Food is decent, beer/drink selection is fine (wish there were a bit more options for both) but the location, especially outdoor is great! read more

We ordered our food and it was on the table within 2 minutes. I am like there is no way you cooked this food. it was terrible and the wrong order. I was told "once it hits the table -its yours." They were out of most of the rotating beers, seasonal. Basically a couple of beers to choose from. Asked for a manager, no manager ever came. read more

Food, atmosphere, service- all top notch. I am concerned that there was no soap in the men's restroom, especially after I finished eating. I may not order food again but I'll be back for drinks. read more

I mean, it's ok. The fact that there is no table service, that you are expected to bus your own table, and leave a 20% tip is a bit much. The food was just ok. The verdict was we won't be back. read more

This is a solid neighborhood hang out place. The outdoor patio is great, it's super kid friendly and there are plenty of tvs for any sports enthusiasts out there (not me, that's why I'm writing this review instead of watching the NBA finals with the people I came here with haha) We ordered the loaded nachos and taquitos so can't speak beyond that. We were full and happy and enjoyed them. Per other reviews, I'd say I agree in that I wouldn't come here for 5 star Michelin meal. Come for good pub food, a great place to socialize and connect with friends, kid friendly patio for adults to enjoy food and drinks while the kids are occupied with games. We had a blast of a time, service was quick and friendly and I would come back here for a mellow Sunday with nicely priced happy hour drinks and decent pub food. I'd say the food is a bit over priced for what it is but considering the atmosphere, am chalking it up for paying for the experience over the food. I'd say it's comparable to other food in this genre which I would also consider a smidge over priced. The marg isn't my favorite marg I've ever had but the $5 Chardonnay was better than any other $5 Chardonnay I've had in the area so there is that! They also offer $4 well drinks during happy hour which is nice. I don't drink beer so can't speak to that but heard zero complaints from the beer drinkers. I'd recommend this place for sure especially considering they are new and obviously here to ensure their costumers are well taken care of. Another great perk (for me) is the QR code ordering which really made things fast and convenient. Our food came out warm despite it being pretty packed for the nba game so seems like they are working out that kink. So long as you stick next to the QR code from which you ordered, seems you're good to go with a fresh drink asap! There were some complaints about a service charge despite the qr ordering but.... Um.... Real people made the food and/or drinks and then brought it to you as you sat happily chatting away with friends.... so happy to pay the 15% service charge. read more

This place is becoming one of my new favorite spots. The atmosphere is always a good time. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food I've had so far has always been on point. read more

Waited for food for 2 hours and it never came. 2 staff members were rude and disrespectful when we asked to change the game on the tv. Used to be a good spot but seems to be going downhill. I get sometimes it will take longer to get food but for the staff to be rude, it isn't acceptable . read more

Fun place! Staff were friendly and inviting. I don't necessarily like the order at the window type place, but if I had young kids, this place would be ideal. Lots of room, outside areas. Plenty of parking. Cute place! read more

Decent spot to hang out and enjoy a Drink. Just make sure it's not a Margarita. Smallest Margarita I've ever seen. Maybe 4 oz after the ice We didn't order food but we wil probably be back here soon to give it a try. Thanks for serving us anyways. Good place for happy hour with friends read more

Great bar for the area. Love the atmosphere. Wish their food was a little better. Burrito bowls are a step down from Renegade or Chipotle. I've tried wings, tacos, nachos and their burrito bowl: the nachos are definitely their best item. The queso and green chile they put on them are good. If you're coming here, it's for the bar and atmosphere. read more

If you sit a table there's no waitress, took me a half hour to realize no one was coming to take my order. Also in the ladies restroom there was a needle wiped off into the toilet paper, the blood streak from it was on the roll I touched and I'm positive that's what it was. So grossed and freaked out by it. I was excited to see this place next to my house, hopefully I have better experiences if I do go back read more

The vibe and environment is awesome! It has such a great atmosphere to watch the game, play corn hole and enjoy a beer. But the food, is not great. I'd prefer to go to Taco Bell not trying to be mean, but we have such amazing taco trucks and Mexican food/tex mex food in Colorado, that the food can use major improvement. read more

The menu looks like a Mexican Restaurant. This place should have a better variety of bar food including burgers, sandwiches, fish baskets, salads, fries, onion rings, wraps, pot pies, fried shrimp, steaks. read more

Great new establishment in the neighborhood. Really fast service and a great place to socialize. Food was very good.

Nice atmosphere, spacious for a bar. The outside enclosed area is large, has a large screen and is dog and kid friendly until 10PM. Very helpful and friendly service. Just okay gringo style Mexican food for me. Had the California burrito with the French fries NOT inside of it. Others in our group tagged about the salads. I tried the jalapeno ranch dressing and it was very good. I didn't take any pictures, however because the burrito came out wrapped in tin foil and a plastic basket. And the fries were mostly cold versus hot. *I grew up in New Mexico, so my tastes for Mexican food are very refined. I don't like most of Colorado's. There is a happy hour for drinks, but for the life of me I could not find any food specials. I didn't think to ask. They prefer ordering via QR code, but it's not mandatory which was helpful for us older folks. Got home to find that 2% had been added to our bill for using a credit card! I didn't see any notation that this would be the case read more

First, absolutely thrilled to finally have a decent bar in Thornton!! The building and deco is beautiful ! Happy hour offers a good range of choices. Not sure how successful the QR code to order food and drinks will be bc when my $20 Cali burrito came and was cold, I didn't have a server to help me with the follow up of my food. Needless to say, we will go again but probably sit at the bar so we have a server to interact with! read more

Great atmosphere, food is decent. It's good to have a local hangout in Thornton that is family and pet friendly.

Default 25% tip when there is no table service is INSANE. Make sure you finalize your tab to avoid paying this exorbitant "tip." Not sure who you're tipping here, the food runner? I'd be happy to go get my own food from the counter. Food is comparable to Chipotle and if you have a problem with it there is no server to help you. This place won't be around for very long. read more

This new beer garden in Thornton is absolutely amazing! Their week was busy and I think they handled it so well! The Cali Chicken Burrito and Mahi tacos are delicious!

I want to like this place because it is a local neighborhood spot. I guess if you want a beer maybe it might be ok but as far as food goes "not impressed"! Their menu is mostly Mexican but very generic. I would say better than Taco Bell but a step below chipotle! We expected more pub type food like burgers and hot sandwiches and such. What a disappointment! I might give it another chance once the novelty wears off. Hopefully they change up the menu some, also the whole thing with ordering at the counter is a turn off. read more

I really want to like this place. The venue is fun, the food is pretty good, but their QR code ordering function is awful. It's a weird way to order, it doesn't work correctly and it ruins the whole experience. We have been overcharged on several occasions because a refill charged as a new drink and they weren't able to help us correct it. They charge a 2% credit card fee and a minimum of 20% tip, but you never have a waitress. Just people who run your food out once you order it online. You can't special order, or ask someone if the item contains something you're allergic to. All in all, the ordering experience ruins the overall experience. So disappointing. read more

We knew a few things ahead of time from talking to friends and reading reviews... we were told to make sure to order using the QR code on our phone as there is no table service or waitress like typical restaurants but that's OK. Our experience was still great. If you have an issue ordering from your phone using a QR code maybe this place wouldn't be for you, but it worked just fine for us. This place is 1 month new in our neighborhood and we were quite excited about trying it. They have a very kid friendly patio also allowing dogs. We got the spicy Asian wings, which were incredible. Very big delicious good texture. The blue cheese seemed like it was homemade tasted great. We also got nachos and fish tacos. Everything we got was delicious and overall our meals and drinks were very reasonably priced we stayed there for quite a while as our kids were playing games out on the patio. We will definitely be back very soon and frequent. We love how close it is to our house. The staff delivers the food to your table after you've ordered and all of the staff was nice when we did interact with them. read more

Great spot to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere with friends and family. The service and food was great!

We loved the atmosphere and the feel of Billy Burch! The service was also great and very quick. We weren't impressed with the food, however. The chicken wings were over-seasoned and the steak tacos were very salty. We will definitely come back but for the drinks and atmosphere. read more

Not sure what the deal is with all the bad reviews centered around the ordering system - it's SUPER easy to navigate and the food was great! Salsa was tasty, tacos were juicy and delicious, and my beer (many local beers on tap) was perfect. Servers are kind and service was quick! I hope this place sticks around for a long time. read more

I loved the experience. People are nice and friendly. Pet friendly so bring your pooch. (Bring your own poo bags though) Its nice to have a place to sit with your pooch have a drink and some lunch! Food is great Nachos and Chili fries were awesome! Its a friendly place! neighborhood place customers seem just as friendly! read more

Really great food and beer selection! Dani our waitress was fantastic and super friendly! We will definitely return!

Clearly, this establishment is a pub (meaning a bar) with minimal food service! It is a great vibe, but not a traditional restaurant! The drinks were reasonably priced and they offer a wide variety, as for the food in my humble opinion they need to add some variety to the menu, maybe fish and chips, burgers, and a couple of sandwiches? Overall experience was good however, the QR code system for payment is confusing to some guests, and I would suggest that they have a greeter at the door that asks if you've been in before and if you're familiar with your QR code payment method, or if you're not interested in that, tell them that they certainly could go to the bar to order, and settle their tab. Give it some time things will improve! read more

Great place! It was relaxing and ordering process went smooth. Great food and service was very accommodating.

Common man! Are these chips from the 90's? stale right to soggy! let's try the taquitos ... nope ...is this chicken mush from a friskies can? Terrible!! If the good bars & pubs around us are closing ... how's this place going to stay open? Don't even get me started on the terrible web site they force you to order through! read more

burrito bowls and tacos were good, Fries are way too salty, salad is gross and doesn't say that it's mostly pickled. Above all of this the most absurd part is tipping. The site automatically defaulted me to a 25% hour tip and you don't have a waiter. We got our own water, the food runner came, then we paid and left. expecting people to tip for almost no service is insane. I will not surprised when they close. read more
