Fantastic happy hour! Lots of floors with outside pario spaces, sun or shade. Food was delcious and beer was cold. We will be back.

Dead leaves and the dirty ground - cocktail was delicious! Herbal and citrusy, a wonderful balance. Sticky Asian salmon was the best meal I've had on this trip so far. Salmon was prepared medium well but still perfectly tender and moist, crispy on the outside. It was fresh and t Ambiance is nice. Nice and cool, not too hot or cold. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. 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

such a cool vibe! i sat on the roof & loved it. the servers were great. you ordered at the bar & then took a number to your seat & they somehow found you. this protein breakfast bowl was fire it's a huge spot with multiple levels & multiple bars to chose to. perfect for a game day or a big group to grab a meal. highly recommend. there's also water stations set up which is so nice to serve yourself read more

Went for brunch and they have good prices and the food was good. Service was quick, nice and attentive. I'd have loved to sit on the roof top but the air conditioning while eating was also nice. I would go back for drinks in the roof top. read more

Great spot for day drinking. Most come for the outdoor views but we enjoyed Kelsey's service at the bar and decided to stick around at the second floor bar. We tried the wild mushroom papparedelle and it did not disappoint. The creamy sauce, the perfect texture to the noodles with the creamy sauce was beyond expectations for bar food. 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

Nice atmosphere and everyone in my party liked their food but me. I'm the only one that ordered the basic hamburger off the menu for $14. I have to say this was probably the worst restaurant hamburger I've ever had. The supposed 1/3 lb. patty was totally dried out and terrible (but the fries were pretty good). I would not order the hamburger again. read more

The minute you walk into burn down you know you're in a cool place. Four floors of cool! The ambience is just excellent. Don't get me started on the rooftop!! The service was really great and Devin, behind the bar, was awesome. Great guy! Super service. Really good time. read more

Amazing service by Koree. Delicious food and they were very welcoming to my large group. I moved away from Denver and came back to get a bunch of friends together during a sporting event and they really worked hard to make it work! It's in a cool and walkable area but you won't even want to go anywhere else because the food, vibes and drinks are equally tasty! read more

First time at Burndown and it's definitely a great addition to Broadway! The space is awesome--four stories with two rooftop levels, perfect for enjoying a Colorado sunset with a view of the Rocky Mountains. We went for brunch and had a great experience. The Bloody Mary was excellent, and they were doing 50% off espresso martinis, which made them hard to pass up. I had the chicken and waffles with a jalapeño cheddar green chili, which was delicious. My friends got the scrambles, and the real standout was the French toast with blackberry cream that we all shared--seriously good. Service was quick and efficient: you order at the bar, and they find you to deliver your food. It's a great spot to meet up with friends, whether you have a small group or a big crowd. I wouldn't necessarily pick it for a date--it can get a little loud--but for a casual get-together, it's perfect. Heads up: parking in this area can be a pain, so plan ahead if you're driving. I'll definitely be back to check out a live music event, lunch, or dinner sometime! read more

We had a great experience at burn down. The atmosphere is stellar! This time we stayed on the 2nd floor which was great. Our food was very good and we received it quick. The beers were also very good. There were a lot of people at burn down but the service was still very good. I'd encourage anyone to go to burn down for any occasion! read more

Decided to celebrate my son's 21st bday here. We had just flown in from Dallas and was going to a Nuggets game later that night. So we were there around 4-6. The first floor was closed but when we were done, it was open. This place is huge and there's pool tables. My son and his buddies went to the rooftop to check it out but I was too cold lol Food- we got a little bit of everything and shared. The wings were underwhelming. The DU-Rita was our fave!!! Chicken street tacos- delish! The BurnDown Brussels were good too but too much bacon for my liking (I know- I'm complaining about the wrong thing! Lol) Nachos pretty good too. Honey sriracha chicken sandwich was ok. My son's first drink was Spray Tan (as suggested by the bartender I feel horrible I don't recall her name). And then she came over and took a shot with him (see pic)! Great service! I loved the vibes and once everyone got off work the place was getting packed! read more

I came here for dinner with a large group of friends to celebrate. We enjoyed our meal but I'm not sure I'd return based on the menu or atmosphere. They had some live music/dj/party going on and more than once there was someone shouting into a microphone which overpowered the whole restaurant. Not entirely sure what was going on but it felt a bit intrusive despite my group being situated at the edge of the restaurant. I didn't love the appetizers (nachos and hummus) or my entree (mushroom pasta). The chicken tenders and burger had good reviews by others in my group. +1 attentive service when the waitress was around +1 accommodating large parties and allowing for separate checks +1 good location -1 bar food at expensive dine in prices (it was pretty good bar food, but too pricey for nachos, hummus, burgers and fries) -1 slow service, hard to get the waitress' attention read more

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

My mouth is watering writing this review. The food we chose was SO good I would eat this Asian salad every single day. Ambiance is 10/10 for fun and date night - drinks, music, lovely. read more

We had a party at Burndown last week! They hosted over 100 people for us and it was amazing. Great service, kind bartenders and servers. Our guests were so impressed with the space and the vibe. I can't wait to come back and recommend this spot to anyone looking to host a large event. Really impressed! Thanks again for a great time! read more

I recently visited Burndown for drinks with a few friends. I absolutely love the open roof top and picnic tables on the third and fourth floor. The first and second floor is more of a restaurant setting. I got to get a few beers and cocktails at the bar. The bartender was quick and efficient. They provided their recommendations and was able to make personalized cocktails as well. I didn't get to try the food but for a place to hangout, good ambiance, and drinks... Burn down was nice read more

Lunchtime is pretty underwhelming. Between a cocktail for both of us, a sandwich, a burger with an upgrade to mac and cheese and gratuity it was $100. For that, you don't get a server. You walk up and order from the giant "order here" counter. Want water? Get it yourself out of a plastic cup and dispenser at the counter. Ordered a drink? Of course they don't bring it to you. You stand and wait for it and carry it to your table yourself. Need a to-go box? There's no service staff, so yup, you have to get up and flag someone at the bar/counter. Sandwich was solid. The mac and cheese was the best thing in the meal. But it'll be a LONG TIME before I spend $100 for only a burger and a drink and have to serve myself EVER again. Too pricy. And as I said at the top: underwhelming. Oh: and forcing your customers to tip for service ... before you've even gotten any "service"? WTAF? If I'd have known I was gonna be the server for half of it, gratuity would have been half of the 22% I did tip. Again: underwhelming. read more

It gets loud at dinner; I prob wouldn't come here on a date. But I came with a big group, so we were loud anyway. Nachos appetizer was awesome, but def not appetizer-portion. You need to share it with ~2 others. Mushroom pappardelle was great - really satisfying sauce, but chicken was dry. Spicy mocktail honestly didn't taste like much. A little bitter, actually. They also forgot our food for a good 20 minutes, but made the drinks on-the-house as an apology, so that was nice of them. read more

Such a cool spot. Awesome Espresso Martini and Old Fashion. Love the aesthetic and bartenders are amazing.

Had a great time here, watching the band Jewel House, this place had a great atmosphere and had way more than enough space for everyone with there three levels. I will definitely be back to see future bands also I would like to thank the guys in the picture who found my phone and gave it to the bartender, thank you guys hope you had a great evening. read more

Ok this is for my daughter and her friend. Two girls at a bar and it is freezing out. The bouncer said to get out even though they had an uber ordered and showed them. Asked to stand inside until it came for safety and the bouncer threatened to lay hands on them. Threatening to hit a girl who asks for safety reason?? What a horrible policy and beyond horrible person. By the way the verbal threat is actually called assault. You cannot threaten to lay hands on someone who is not a physical threat. Look at my reviews and you will see I only post good, but the fact they threw girls who asked very politely to wait for an uber to be safe and warm in sub zero temps is horrible. Avoid this place as they really do not care about their customers, and need threaten them. read more

Yes, it's bar food, it's busy and service can be impacted by being busy; however, it's a fun place with good-live music and great western-sky views/sunsets on clear evening. read more

Very welcoming place. Loved the vibe. Got the option to sit down stairs for full service or upstairs for bar service only. We chose to sit down stairs. Loved this place and all it had to offer with food and drinks. We even watch the Longhorn and Aggie game while eating. Next time we're in town we'll definitely stop by. The live music and the staff were amazing. read more

I came here for lunch during the week. It's a huge space, but parts were closed down and it was pretty quiet during lunch. They didn't have a server at the table, so you order at the bar and they bring the food out to you. I ordered a half Caesar and it was huge! It was spicier than I like, but that's just personal choice. read more

My gf made the reservation for 4 of us non-sports watching people... as the website shows an empty space, it left the experience up to the viewer. Nevertheless, we had a good meal while shouting over all the rabid football fans. We started with wings, which were good and apt, obviously, given the actual vibe of the place. Service was attentive and friendly. My friend got the mushroom pasta, which she said was good but a little spicy? My other friend got the steak frittes, which he devoured. I got the surf and turf, which the meats were cooked perfectly, while the veg was overdone. I guess that's the better of the two evils. I can't remember what my husband got. We all shared the skillet cookie, which you can't really go wrong with. Really good, and if you love sports, then I can't imagine it gets much better. read more

Sat on the first floor with a pre booked reservation. Got the steak frites again. This time was better than the last My friend got the mushroom pasta dish. It was very flavorful. read more

BurnDown is a super cool new spot on Broadway with amazing views of the mountains and the sunset. This bar has 4 levels with each level offering a slightly different setup. I was with a birthday party on the 3rd level which accommodated about 40 people. I ordered the Muffaletta sandwich which was a simple sandwich filled with Italian meats and provolone. The sandwich came with an olive spread which added a little bit of spice and flavor to the sandwich. I loved the shoestring fries. They were crunchy and had a hint of rosemary to add a little extra something. The bar to order drinks was packed and a little chaotic but the bar tenders did a great job of sorting through the mass of people. The 3rd level is opened up covered,patio-style which was a perfect place to be on a Colorado Summer evening. The west side of the building offers a balcony which reminded me of a New Orleans building layout. If you're there for sunset you can catch an amazing view of the sun setting behind the mountains. Be sure to check this place out! read more

If there is a bar that has it all, it is definitely BurnDown! How so, you ask? Let me tell you! great food? CHECK! From pasta to salad, sandwiches, burgers, and nachos, they have it all and it is all executed so well! great bar program? CHECK! My old fashioned was a classic AND perfect old fashioned. An espresso martini on draft that's actually delicious is always amazing great location? CHECK! I love South Broadway! I've been on a kick of exploring that area and it's always a blast great service? CHECK! from the hostess to our server, everyone was so nice! great layout? CHECK! They have a restaurant on the first floor with an amazing bar, another full bar on the second floor (with trivia on Wednesdays!), AND a roof top bar! great view? CHECK! Mountains!! I went at night :( which means that I just need to go back during the day) great name? CHECK! It used to be a furniture store that...burned down... that's amazing! (Not the burning down part - just the name ) what I ordered: steak nachos, mushroom pappardelle pasta, burn down burger with sweet potato fries, espresso martini, the first season of true detective (old fashioned), 70s playboy, and oasis reunion tour best bite: the burn down burger was insanely good - the Tabasco grilled onions were a game changer for me PLUS the nachos...I ate so many because they were that good. Every single one hits the spot! read more

Upon walking in, being very excited at our first visit we were shot down immediately at the second floor bar, by two male bartenders. We were informed the 2nd floor bar was closed and we'd have to go upstairs or downstairs for bar/cocktails service. Keep in mind I'm using a walking cane, to assist me walking with a current surgery. As the two bartenders were explaining again and again, a new customer (male) walked up to the bar ordered two drinks without interruption or conflict they made his drinks as he placed funds on the bar. Really? What was that? We walked away, found a bar on the third floor ordered drinks and appetizers. Not the best interaction, feeling unwelcoming now. No interaction. As I observe the place, I take notice it's in need of a good cleaning, the bar, tables are layered with a sticky substance, not to mention the floors. Not a great first interaction, with a in length drive. Thank you Burndown! Will not be returning. read more

I got some great orange wheat beer and an awesome sweet Sriracha chicken sandwich. The fries had a lot of great flavor and seasoning, so much so that I only used ketchup on the lesser seasoned ones. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. The top two floors were less active that night, but the first two were busy. read more

**Take this review with a grain of salt because it is specifically for opening day. I understand that it was likely far more hectic than regular business and I do plan on going back to hopefully update my review** We were super excited to visit BurnDown after watching the construction for months. The space is incredible! So so big with four floors, including a roofdeck with views of the city and the mountains. The stage is right in the middle and you can see it from below and above. Lots of varied seating and pool tables as well. Now the not so good. We arrived around six and were told it would be an hour to be seated which was fine with us as we were planning to hang out and grab a few drinks anyways. We made our way up to the third floor and proceeded to wait at the bar for 20+ minutes for a drink. We sat on the rooftop where tables hadn't been bussed of glasses at all. After an hour we hadn't been texted for a table so we checked in the the hostess who told us not yet. Cool, we will grab another drink. We checked out the menu and tried to order espresso martinis which were listed. We were told "too complicated," so we went for something less complicated. Finally after 2+ hours, we checked in with the hostess again to check our spot in line and were told us they texted us an hour ago to let us know our table was ready. We confirmed she had the correct number, she did, and confirmed we hadn't missed the text, we hadn't. They were no longer seating tables, so we didn't have the opportunity to try to food. All in all, cool space, has potential, but was pretty disappointed with the experience we had on Saturday. read more

My husband and I love Burndown. The staff is great and chatty, and even comped our coffees! We always go for brunch. By the end, we're stuffed and happy. It's always pretty quiet in the morning, so we don't have to yell over each other or wait for too long. The only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars is because the food can be a bit bland, occasionally. However, this is a restaurant that we find ourselves enjoying again and again. read more

This is just a review of ambiance and drinks, as I didn't try the food. This is a very cool space! Big spot, with plenty of patio and rooftop seating.

Great place! At night it's lively with bands and patrons. Though it gets crowded, the service is still good! The food is good too. It's good. It's not going to knock your socks off but if you want a burger or a salad or a sandwich while you catch some music, it's a really satisfying choice. For lunch it's surprisingly quiet, but again the service is fast and friendly! Of note: French onion soup! YUM YUM. I have yet to see the downstairs open. But the mid floor seems to be a hot place :) read more
