We didn't try the food, but we came for drinks during happy hour and HOLY CRAP the prices are so good we might not even have to wait for happy hour. $5 well, $4 during happy hour? $6.25 Tito cocktails? The food looked good and very reasonably priced at well. SUPER impressed with the service. Although they have a qr system for ordering, we had two different servers regularly checking in with us, who were super friendly. Decor reminds me of... that corrugated tin barn/man cave that every farmer had when I was growing up. For the prices, they can decorate however they want. Great place if you want to get out of the house for drinks and don't want to sell your kidney for it. read more

This place has a fun atmosphere and cool patio but the food sucked. My california burrito wasn't even close to what a Cali burrito really is and it was tiny. For $17 it should have been bigger and came with a drink or something. I heard they had good drinks so might be back for that. Service was decent read more

Nice place, good atmosphere. Foo foo Mexican food was ok. Drink prices a little high. Serve yourself. A fun family resto-bar!

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

Jason was great! Good vibe. Outdoor seating with big TVs! Great stop for us just passing through!!

My wife and I came back for a second visit yesterday, and I felt compelled to leave a review because experiences like this are becoming rare. The food has been consistently excellent both times we've visited. The bone-in wings with the Jalapeño Gold BBQ sauce were fantastic, and the Cali-style chicken burrito with tomatillo salsa was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere and the people. This was only our second visit, yet three employees--two younger staff members and one other lady--recognized us immediately and seemed genuinely excited to see us back. It wasn't the forced "customer service" kind of friendliness; it felt sincere. They greeted us warmly, remembered us, and made us feel like regulars after only one prior visit. In a world where so many places make you feel like just another transaction, that kind of hospitality leaves an impression. The food brought us back, but the people are what will keep us coming. Billy Birch has earned a repeat customer in us, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend. 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

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

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

Food was fine. We had tuesday $2 tacos and their three dip chips appetizer which made tacos good cause we could add our sauces from chips. Beer came in plastic cups. Advertised... come for game but no good seating near giant screen outside. No umbrellas or backs on chairs near tv. They dont make any beer. You will never see waitress til your order is brought. No one checks on you before or after you eat. I'd say big potential. Not there yet read more

Really fun spot to hang out & watch games, my only complaint is that there's no TV by kids area so it's impossible to watch a game when you have your littles since that area is secluded from the rest of the patio area. Otherwise, this place is actually pretty perfect! read more

We had a very disappointing visit. The staff didnt acknowledge us or seem to care that we were there. We walked in and all the outdoor tables in the shade had reserved signs on them even though nobody had been sitting in them for at least a hour while we were there. Also, i'm pretty sure we were overcharged. It's my fault for not looking at the time but i trusted that they would bill us properly. I had high hopes but i dont think we'll be going back. read more

The atmosphere of this place is great! Especially on a nice, warm afternoon! The place was pretty busy. We ordered nachos, elote dip, and chicken tacos. The food took about 55 minutes to come out. Maybe it was a one off, but we weren't expecting that long of a wait on 2 appetizers and 1 entree. I would suggest just getting your drinks at the bar instead of using the QR code as it will be much quicker grabbing them yourself. Food was good! We definitely will be back. Hopefully the food times will improve. 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

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

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

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

We go here often as it is a great place to sit inside or outside for drinks . Food is pretty good and quick service. You can scan at your table and order/pay online. We bring our dog, very dog friendly-lots of outdoor space to spread out, and many shaded tables. Lots of tvs including a big screen outside. It's fun and chill. 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

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

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

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

there are pluses and minuses to this establishment 1) great atmosphere 2) pretty good food 3) great outdoor dining 1) no Coors or Coors light big negative 2) you have to order via your phone or iPad very negative 3) limited menu 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
