Best bar in Loveland! The humans that tend the bar are genuine and just down right fun to be around.

This bar has one of the highest ratings in all of Loveland. I am giving it a three stars because it is not everyone's bar and my experience was far below the expectations set up by the high rating. You walk in to the bar with a big picture of Johnny Cash flipping the bird and that's literally the experience that we had. I walked in to see the bartender eating dinner and chilling while talking to two customers at the bar. My husband and I walked in and waited standing behind the conversation to order drink for several minutes. We never were even acknowledged when we first got there. We paced around a few times walked around looking at pictures and it was as if we were invisible. There were only like five people in the whole bar (two at the bar, two people at a table by the enterance and the bar tender) and were ignored for quite a while. I was surprised by this, but I remembered the picture I saw when I entered the bar. I just assumed this was the "message" they wanted people to clearly understand. I would have walked out, but my husband is a bit more polite. We were served and the service was quick, short, and to the point. It is totally a no-nonsense bar. But I wouldn't exactly say it's a date night bar. I feel like there are regulars that come because they like the harder alcohol, and they like the no-nonsense atmosphere. Even though I was a little upset with the bartender ignoring us while eating dinner and talking to the other customers, there was a sense of genuine friendship in their conversation. These were customers who were obviously regulars that came in to download from the week and have a consistent environment while they hung out, hich I do appreciate. Type of bond in bars, restaurants, and small town favorites create for the community a sense of comfort and family. They have created that, but since Yelp let's outside people know of great places, this rating didn't match my experience or even the expectations. I don't think I'd ever go back, and I think many people looking at the five star review would be a bit surprised too. read more

Just moved here tonight! First bar I stopped at with my boyfriend. Each ordered a single drink after walking a few blocks from our hotel. Went back to the hotel to get our pizza we had delivered and our dog. Come back and my boyfriend and I each order one drink and a shot for each of us. I walk outside with our dog who is pulling on my arm and apparently after being served a single beer I am now "stumbling" with my 7 month old puppy who is pulling on his leash. The bartender then told my boyfriend he would not serve us. Thanks for killing our plans and kicking us out of the bar dude! We were excited to make some first night memories at your bar but we will not be returning. Would not recommend read more

Downtown Loveland can be described with one word: SCIZOPHRENIC. I am 100% serious. Example: I walked downtown for dinner and drinks one evening out of my poorly lit neighborhood over the train tracks and stopped to take a peak down 4th St and what do I see; not much. The Aims college building's awning is lit up but empty, the Sports Station's parking lot is full but it sounds quiet since it's too cool to eat outside and some of the buildings seem just sad. Wait, did a tumble weed just blow by and I swear I just heard a wolf howl! It's quiet, cool and nearly no one is on the street or side walks and it's a FRIDAY NIGHT! What's going on? Did I not get the evacuation notice because I was drinking beer in the tub in the basement before I left? I continued on to see what I could find. After doing a full patrol of downtown I ended up almost back where I started when I discovered a new bar: Burke's Tavern. Every place down town was empty this night including this place except for the bartender and his two friends sitting at the bar. This place is small and actually used to be a place called Jazz Alley. I ordered a beer and after making some friendly small talk I sat down near the door and zoned out on a tv near by while the juke box played random selections. A few people floated in and I downed a few more beers then decide to play DJ on the Juke. Behold the greatest Juke box on the planet! This thing is hooked up to the internet and can down load any slice of music you can think of! After feeding it bills and then sliding my credit card I had selected my favorite play list. Also, if you are too impatient you can pay a little more cash to jump a head with your selection! When I was done I turned around to my beer to see that the place had started filling up. I looked at my watch to see that it was getting late and I was kind of surprised. Loveland doesn't have too much going on at night. After having a few more beers and socializing with a few people I got the message quick. This place is a slow starter and the bulk of its customers are late night shift workers and bartenders themselves from the downtown bars that close early. This bar stays open later than all the others and everyone who wants to blow of there steam from everyone blowing there steam off on them come here. Most of the people were wait staff and some of the others were night shift workers from IBM an a few other random places. So, if its last call and everything is shutting down head to Burke's because that is where everyone will be in an hour after counting the till, mopping the floor and locking the door and if you beat them you can DJ for the whole place until close. read more

This is a real bar. Real people who work their asses off and get fucked up in between go here. Also, people who don't work at all and get similarly fucked up go here. If you don't like it, go fuck yourself. Fuck you. I love you. read more

Be careful here! We were way way overcharged then had multiple charges show up on our account. The bartender is very sloppy.

Burks is the place to go to wind down and get away. A relaxed, easy going getaway. The "Cheers" of Loveland. Low priced drinks, and good company. Weeknights are nice and quiet, weekends are hopping. Ladies night on Thursdays. Daily specials. Stop in and say hello to Brandon or Jonny. I may be there to say hello also. Laters! read more

We always stop at Burk's after dinner downtown, but usually if Tennessee is working. It's a lot of fun and the drinks are always strong to get us on our walking way home. It's a small spot, but a locals place as well. They always have snacks on the tables, which is cute and also needed sometimes! read more

If your looking for a salt of the earth casual bar, this is the place to be. Dennis the bar tender was welcoming and personable with everyone walking through the door as if old friends. Take a shot of Tully or a 16oz PBR at happy hour! $2.50 was a steal. read more

Whenever we are in town on a weekend night we always stop (and usually stay) at Burks! Guaranteed to see a familiar face whenever we come here and we are always treated very well by the staff!! Also the only bar in Loveland that was open on Xmas day! read more

Tiny place but very social staff. Good place to go for a great time

I absolutely love this place! It's my go to when I'm in Loveland. They recently changed a few things like, added a new bench, and a Tullamore Dew whiskey tap! Yup it comes right out of the wall! How cool is that?! Every person I've met here made me feel at home, and like we were old friends catching up, that's not something you find often anymore. If you're in the area, stop on by and have a drink. They can recommend just about anything to do locally, or pinpoint the spot to get that food fix that you're craving. read more

Burk's Tavern has quickly become our favorite spot in Loveland. Friendly, neighborly, and pet/friendly, everyone is welcome at Burk's. Stop in, enjoy a Tullamore Dew and enjoy the fine service from Brandon and "Tennessee". Maybe if you are feeling adventurous you'll cue up "Rocky Top" on the Touch Tunes... read more

Burk's might be a bit small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in a great staff! It's always a comfortable scene and great prices.

I love this place. Low-key, bartenders who are also your friend, and they serve my favorite whiskey-- Tullamore Dew. Actually, they were the ones who made me aware that I liked whiskey in the first place. This place is a blast! Jonathon and Brandon are the epitome of neighborhood bartenders. read more

Really great place to chill. Tall PBR for $2.50 on Tuesdays is why I stopped in. I'm glad I did. Snacks at the table to munch on, great music, I've already been back. read more

Small hole in the wall Irish pub good for late night. They're open 3pm-2am. Burk's Tavern is friendly and fun with an affinity toward Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey. It is a proud and popular bar with the locals who just want to drink and maybe take in a game on the TV. It has 4-5 seats at the actual bar located at the back of the building and a few tables and chairs on the way to sit with a few friends. I imagine how fun this place could be on special Irish holidays. When I was there I ran into a pre-wedding get together. This couple seemed to know exactly what was going on and the place was having so much fun I nearly got caught up in their celebration! This can be a fun place but has a limited selection of beers. Though you'll probably still find one that suits you, especially if you're looking for a chaser. Don't ask for a Black-and-Tan though because there is no Bass here nor anything that will remind you of the English. Sláinte! read more

This bar is a diamond in the rough. The bartender was cracking jokes and everyone seemed right at home. The Irish whiskey was flowing (and it's on tap). I would highly recommend this establishment to any looking to drown their sorrows or just meet some good down to earth people! Cheers! read more

Great little bar. Service is wonderful and the people are too. Love the music and the free snacks. If your looking for a couple of cold drinks, than think is your place. Met Brandon the owner and he was great. Super fun relaxing place to chill. read more
