This is one of my favorite places! It has an awesome vibe - where old meets new. BurnDown is in a renovated 1940s brick building with a modern industrial vibe using preserved charred beams from a past fire when it once was a furniture shop - hence the name Burndown. There are three stories & a great roof-top deck with beautiful views. Not only does BurnDown have amazing food they also host live music & have trivia nights. Note, parking is on the street. We arrived for lunch on a Wednesday, ordered & paid at the bar then found a table. Our food was brought out to us. The staff was friendly & personable. I had the Mexican Street Corn Dip, French Onion Soup & the Harvest Salad. The dip was delicious... it was made with sweet corn, chipotle mayo, lime cream, cotija, hot Cheeto dust, cilantro & served with chips. However, I would have liked it a little more spicy. The soup was classic comfort food at it's best. It had caramelized onions in a savory rich broth, topped with gooey melted Swiss cheese & a toasted baguette, it was fantastic. And just as wonderful was the salad, made with squash, walnuts, dried cherries, green apple & goat cheese tossed in a great vinaigrette. This was a fun lunch with terrific food! read more

I had the Old town hamburger as it was recommended by the server, and it was very good. The fries though seemed stale. And the shrimp appetizer was good. The reason to come here though is not for the food, but the vibe when it's busy, and most importantly, the view of the front range. Especially from the roof top on the fourth floor, the view is phenomenal. read more

Food: 3/5 just ok Service: Mother's day here with big crowd 3.5/5 Ambiance: if you want big you will love this place, but for us 3/5 read more

First time and likely last . . Service - good, seated fast and attended to quick. Drinks - while tasty, are small and on the expensive side ($14/$15) Food - One of us had the burger, the other the Philly Cheese Steak, both with fries. ($20 and $18 respectively) Fries were already getting cool by the time they got to us, but had good flavor. Burger, while had good flavor, was on the small side for $20. Philly Cheese Steak was very flavorless, only marginally helped by some salt. Ambiance - cool building. Also, they include a 3% kitchen appreciation fee. For more than $70 (without tip) for a couple sandwiches and cocktails, it's very much overrated. read more

Me and my sweetheart darling were scouring the city for late night grub and we ventured into burn down, packed bar full house all the bartenders absolutely rocking it , wait staff crushing a very chaotic Friday night seamlessly, we got some delicious mocktails to accompany our exquisite entrees, steak frites for moi and some sticky salmon for my beautiful wife. The vibes were incredible and so was the service and the atmosphere and the food COME ON DOWN TO BURN DOWN read more

BurnDown - Steak frites sticky salmon - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Something new, kinda far away from my home base but Yelp photos looked great. Here I am. Made reservation (1st floor only) but most of the 1st floor was empty for early Friday afternoon. Got a table, immediately greeted by our server. Ordered drinks and the food. Went to wash hands and checked out the roof top and rest of the floors. Each floor had bars but the roof top. There were already people by the fireplaces (several). Will be a nice place to hang out. I guess you order from the bar, get a buzzer and they will bring to you as on option? Two entrée we ordered arrived quickly. Just basic tavern food but thats what we wanted and looked pretty good. Burger with fries and rueben. They were excellent. Buns were soft, browned up nicely, didn't fall apart from me biting into it. Saved up the half of the rueben for next morning. Yes, it was very good after nuking it. One thing that was terrible. Creme Brulee Cheese Cake @ $10 Don't waste your money on it. If you like cheese cake, maybe. Overall, our server was awesome. Fries were top notch, lots of drink specials. Awesome atmosphere. Go and say hi to "Big Boy"! read more

I've been here twice recently and enjoyed both times! The place is big they have multiple floors. We went for brunch on Saturday and they had a deal on espresso martinis-great service at the bar. Hung out then ordered some food to go with the few rounds we had. Also went for happy hour during the week and they had a special on the old fashioned drinks. I got the steak tacos and they were pretty good. The meat was great. They also happened to have trivia that night. Overall this is one of the those places you can always guarantee to meet up with your friends and have a good time. read more

We're visiting Denver and this place had caught my attention because the food looked good and it was rated well. Upon arrival, I was so impressed. The atmosphere is perfect; it's just the right amount of relaxed and lively. I love the decor, the lighting, and the fact that there's plenty of seating. The food was delicious, we got the French onion soup, crispy coconut shrimp, and the braised short rib. Our bartender Stephanie was incredibly friendly and helpful, by far the best bartender I've been attended by in my history of drinking lol. She seemed like such a genuine person, definitely someone who puts care into the what they do. I love that they had pool tables; I'm not the best at pool but it's always enjoyable to play. The choice of music was great and I like that the music itself wasn't too loud so I could still talk and hear my own thoughts. No complaints whatsoever, this place is phenomenal. I would definitely come back here. read more

I was looking for a place close to Roxy on Broadway for dinner before we went to Roxy to hear live jazz. I considered Burn Down, but I ended up not going there. So on another day, when lunch rolled around, my wife and I went to check it out. It's a very cool multi level bar that serves food that is anything but bar food. I got the French dip sandwich and it was wonderful! And that says a lot because it seems like in Denver people don't know how to make a great beef sandwich. But this place does. Fortunately, we want it on a weekday so there were maybe 25 other people in the place. I talked to one of the servers and he said on weekends, when a critical sports game is happening, or when they have live music, the place is packed. So that would be most weekends. It looks like they could easily accommodate 300 people, but if you're planning on going when you think it'll be packed, get there early because you'll still have to find a parking spot. read more

Adding to my review- They have such a fun vibe on the third floor for Christmas! Be sure to make your way up there!! We tried the Steak Frites- it was SO good!! Service is always quick even when they are busy. We love this place and will always come back! read more

BurnDown - Steak frites - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Really cool space with multiple levels and areas, good food, attentive servers (even during busy game days!) and overall a great place to catch a game! The Silk Suit wasn't quite my flavor (it was a more bitter drink than I usually like) but the Rosemary's Baby's Mule was much more my speed. The Mexican Street Corn Dip wasn't the best I've had, but it was a solid appetizer. The Nachos were excellent, piled-on toppings and a nice kick of heat! The Old Town Burger was good, but a little dry and was sweeter than I would have preferred. Can't complain about any of it, just some of the items weren't my preference and I'll just order some different things next time! read more

BurnDown's a good place for food or drinks! I've been here about almost 10 times across my time here in Denver, and I can say I've never had a bad time. It does get a bit crowded, but that's to expected of a place people like. I like the idea of multiple levels with the main floor being the closest to the restaurant environment. The food is decent, but on the pricier side. It's a reliable spot for big planned parties and impromptu quick grab of food and drinks. The drinks are pretty good with interesting concepts. A little playful, I like that. Definitely one of the fav spots to go to! read more

We've been here many times and usually have a great experience, which made this visit especially disappointing. We came in around 5 PM on a Sunday during the Avs game and the service at the downstairs bar was honestly terrible. It took a long time just to get menus, order drinks, and eventually get our check. Since the upstairs bar was closed, everyone was being directed downstairs, but the bartenders seemed dismissive and were largely ignoring customers. Multiple people around us were openly complaining about the wait, and some eventually gave up entirely after over 45 minutes standing at the bar. The food and drinks here are always great, which is the only reason this isn't a lower rating. But the service from the Sunday shift completely changed the experience. read more

Oh my goodness this place was everything and more. The vibes inside were cool downtown alongside the rooftop bar. The service was great, kind workers and fast pace without rushing you. My favorite thing I ordered here was definitely the GF wrap. Rarely ever do restaurants have GF wraps and this one was amazing. Crispy and fresh. read more

4 levels of food, fun and frolic. Here is my story: Looking for a place to dine and imbibe, my travel partner and I end up at BurnDown. This Establishment consists of 4 levels. I'm sure in the deep of summer, the 4th level can get a bit hot! But likewise during the winter it can be cold and maybe closed because of snow. The food is basically fried, and fried but dressed with a variety of sauces and dressings. Among the several dishes we ordered our favorite was the friend chicken drumettes which is seasoned, dusted in their "BurnDown Rub Style" season rub, then deep fried and served a dipping sauce of your choice. That Rub!!!! If I were a Denver resident and worked close by, BurnDown might become my HH place of refuge... LOL Parking no bueno ! Unless you go after 5:30 pm on the weekdays. DO NOT parkin the shopping area or Sam's Club or you will be towed Moderately priced! Service stable and relatively pleasant Repeat? More than likely if I'm in the area read more

Great little sports bar, outside seating is always a plus. The fries were good, very well seasoned and crispy. The turkey sandwich was great, the rosemary bread on it made is delicious. The nachos were top notch, very sloppy with toppings soaked through. The corn was also good, not spicy at all but still good. The drinks were okay. Service was attentive and quick. read more

Came here on a Sunday night, and it was my first time coming to this area in a while. I had no problem finding street parking right across the way, which was nice. Inside, they are three floors, but have a loft style build out, making the ceilings so high and the place feel really spacious, with its authentic log cabin and mountain fuel and matching decor. With TVs and comfy seating all over, it's a great place to watch sports, there's also a pool table. I had the blue velvet cocktail, and I'm a sucker for any drink with an egg white, but this was honestly so delicious. I also tried the Elote chips and dip appetizer, but was a little bit disappointed, I felt like the corn really lacked any seasoning. We tried the wings, too, I wasn't as much of a fan of the lemon pepper dry rub, I felt like they were a bit TOO dry, but the garlic Parmesan were really good. Their ranch sauce is also yummy. We also tried one of their burgers and the French dip sandwich, both of them were pretty good, nothing exceptional, but definitely happy with what I expected for bar food. Thanks! read more

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the food/drinks. There was a great happy hour menu too from 3-6 and day specials. (1) Coconut shrimp: super delicious and the sauce was perfection! (2) Corn dip: love the concept of this but overall my least favorite dish. Honestly didn't taste like much (3) Buffalo chicken wrap: Heavy on the buffalo sauce but good flavor. Sweet potato fries were delicious too Service was great Draft margarita cocktail was really well balanced and you could taste it actually had alcohol in it, which I like and not typical with draft cocktails. Beautiful views from rooftop deck and has pool. Tons of seating Pretty impressed! Will be back read more

Loved this place!! The multi floor restaurant is soooo spacious. Plenty of sitting indoors, outdoors and the rooftop! Bars an be found on different floors for convenience. Our staff wasn't the nicest, he seemed bothered to take our order at the bar and made our first visit here a lil sour. But the food turned out everything around. We stopped in on a Sunday for brunch!! Got the hangover burger with fries, the Burndown breakfast with steak and the captain crunch French toast! The burger was delicious, fries were perfectly crispy. 10/10. The burndown breakfast was really good. Steak was perfectly cooked, very flavorful, soft and juicy! 10/10. The captain crunch French toast was the best French toast I have ever eaten!! It wasn't too sweet or soggy. It had a perfect crunch! The fruit filling was to die for!!! Could seriously have it every day. Parking is limited and on the street so plan accordingly! Definitely recommend! read more

Burndown is a one of a kind location. I love the setup. Anytime anyone is looking for good food and drinks, I recommend Burndown!

This spot is a great place to watch sports. There are multiple levels with a mix of indoor and outdoor options. The food is good and so is the drink selection.

The rooftop patio was nice but the food and drinks were mediocre. The whole place seems overhyped.

Fun vibes, high energy. Restaurant was busy but we got a table on the roof pretty quickly. Food was all very tasty but the appetizer took nearly 40 min to come out - we had our meals before the appetizer and asked multiple people about it. Good drink options with a full bar. read more

I've been here a few times to drink and have always had an enjoyable time! The place is MASSIVE, but it still gets packed on the weekends and holidays. Finally stopped in to eat and was very pleasantly surprised with the food. We ordered the corn dip, pretzel bites, buffalo chicken wrap, southwestern chicken wrap, honey siracha chicken sandwich, BBQ pineapple burger, grilled salmon, and kids Mac and cheese and grilled cheese. Everything was great including the fries on the side, but they give you a zillion. Our cocktails - Rosemary's baby mule, old fashioned, pineapple margarita, and aperol spritz were also all good! read more

I highly do not recommend this place if you are a person of color. A few months ago, my parents brought me for lunch. It was great! So I ended up bringing* my husband a short while later. The service was borderline non-existent. The server was delayed in greeting us, dropping off the drinks, our dinner, and even delayed dropping the check. I figured it was an off night as we all have those days. We tried them again a few days ago and sat in a section for over 10 minutes with nobody greeting us despite multiple staff members passing us without even offering us a water or any type of acknowledgment for our existence. I noticed the other tables who did not have POC did not have this issue. We left without ordering anything as this is now a clear pattern. Give your money to a business that will respect you, I recommend passing on this place. I would give zero stars if I could. read more

This review is more for the restaurant. We went later the same night to get a drink but it was a young rowdy college crowd which isn't our scene anymore when we just want a nightcap. The dinner we had was great! I had a delicious bean burger with avocado and coleslaw with a refreshing draft Hazy IPA. We went around 5 pm and were seated and greeted quickly at our table. Once we ordered, the food came quickly as well. The restaurant has a new meets old Western vibe with some quirky decor that was fun. We would definitely go back to have a meal. read more

BurnDown - Half off espresso martinis and wings! - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We came here for a group brunch on a snowy Saturday and the restaurant was packed! It's on S Broadway in a warehouse brick building so it was easy to find. They have a 25 car parking lot and street parking. The interior is open, airy, and plenty of seating. Our waitresses Stephanie was friendly and professional. Service was quick. We started with non alcoholic drinks Croc with Socks ($9) and it was a delicious drink. I got a hangover burger with sweet potato fries ($17). My friends got the veggie scrambles. All the portions were generous. The burger came with hash brown, egg over easy, lettuce, smoked bacon, and tomatoes. The candied bacon was sweet and salty, so good. It was stacked so high that it's hard to eat with hands. I didn't care much for the fries. It was a bit over fried and crispy all over. The vibe is young and a great hang out place for brunch. Will be back again! read more

BurnDown is absolutely one of my favorite places eat at and also take visiting family and friends! The restaurant has a unique feel and vibe to it being a former firehouse, operating with multiple floors and a rooftop. The menu is wide including brunch, lunch/dinner, and drinks (espresso martinis are half off on the weekends). I've always had good service over the course of 5-6 visits. My personal brunch favorites include the old broadway scramble, breakfast burrito, and street style breakfast tacos. For lunch/dinner, I highly recommend the buffalo chicken dip, french onion soup, or crispy coconut shrimp for starters, and the BurnDown burger or French dip for entrees (FYI: I have not tried anything off of the "mains" section yet but fully intend to for dinner sometime!) BurnDown is definitely worth the visit if you're a local or visiting! read more
