Like most hotel bars, the drinks and food can be expensive, but the bartenders are on point with the cocktails. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks were good, the Negronis were very crushable, as was its bourbon cousin, the Boulevardier. The shrimp appetizer that my wife ordered was also very good, and a nice starter before we had dinner at the English Pub. It's a good spot to experience sunsets as you knock back a drink or two, or watch the night sky, so long as it's not overcast or raining. If you look closely towards the ceiling-length windows, you can see the Denver skyline in the distance in front of the Rockies that dominate the landscape from afar.

The bar is absolutely breathtaking. It's massive, beautifully designed, and offers multiple seating…read moreoptions, making it easy to find the perfect spot to relax. This is definitely where you want to be at sunset. The floor-to-ceiling wall of windows creates a stunning backdrop for Embers Lodge and elevates the entire atmosphere. We stopped in for drinks several times during our weeklong stay at the Gaylord Resort, and each visit was just as enjoyable as the last. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone staying at or visiting the resort.

Recently started working in the area, and my new co-workers invited me to a vendor-invite lunch…read more This place is casual with a nice atmosphere. Reclaimed metal sheet walls, concrete floor, a nice looking bar and good 80s/90s music piping in. The menu offers many taco options, which you purchase a la carte. I took a risk and got the ahi tuna taco, and a steak fajita taco. Both were good - but I was most impressed with the Ahi. It was better than the sushi I have had at a sushi restaurant since moving here to CO. Nice Asian sauce with sesame seeds throughout. Super good. It's light, though. It is in a butter lettuce "taco shell", but honestly I think putting it in a true corn or flour tortilla just would not mesh well. The service was very very pleasant and attentive. We even had to move a couple times because our party number kept changing, and she was as pleasant as can be. I look forward to heading back and trying something else. Co-workers tell me you really can't have a bad taco there, and I think I might challenge that notion and find out for myself! Cheers!

I was out in Denver for work a couple of weeks ago and was staying at a hotel near this place; so I…read moredecided to check it out for an early dinner. The place is located right on Tower Road and there is a nicely sized parking lot on the premises. I kept it simple with a cup of green verde chili and a chicken Cobb salad. Both dishes were good and the salad was big enough to box up and take what was left. The service was quick and polite. The ambiance was nice and the diner is decorated in kitschy Americana decor.

Quick review. Danico Brewing was across the street from where I was staying in Denver last month. I…read moredecided to meander over after a long day. It's definitely a nice spot and frequented by locals and visitors. The area is largely commercial and there are a number of hotels. They have a rotating lineup of food trucks which is posted on their website under events. I went with their Mexican Lager Day Game (#1) and their Og (#2) Saison. Both delicious, crisp and refreshing. The interior is bright and nicely painted. The server was polite and attentive. I will definitely stop back if I happen to be staying nearby in the future.

They had a dinner menu - but half the items weren't available. They had fries; pizza; crispy Brussel sprouts; and a kale chicken salad available. There is a full bar with the usual hotel offerings. Draft beer was cold. I had the chicken kale salad and it was only $10. Beer was $6.75. Salad was good and came quickly. I'd come back here again. At this time, their prices are lower than some hotels. I respect that. It makes sense to charge a few dollars less than some of the competitors- especially when the hotel is near no other eating establishments. Why not make it reasonable and get the revenue- vs making people feel like they have to order out - or take a car somewhere? They did a good job.

We ordered the truffle fries, wings, bison meat loaf, and the braised short rib. Our group had 0 complaints about the food. Everything arrived hot and fresh, super flavorful. Sadly I missed taking pics of the mains because we dived in too fast! Ansari and Anthony were attentive as well. They checked in the appropriate amount of times and were great to chat with.

We ended up going back twice, which pretty much says it all. Right off the bat, the person seating us was friendly and quick to acknowledge us, which we appreciated. That said, they could definitely use 1 to 2 more people up front. There's was only one person both days (at least at the beginning of the crowd) managing a lot of tables, so there was a bit of a delay getting seated because they were constantly running back and forth. We went both days right as the crowd was starting, and once seated, everything ran super smoothly. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I wish I could remember our first server's name. He was from CA and was fantastic. Really attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and everything was genuinely delicious. It's rare for us to go back to the same place twice on a trip, but this one earned it. Great sports bar atmosphere, plenty of seating, including outdoor seating, and it would work well for pretty much any sized group. I Highly recommend this spot if you're staying at the Gaylord Rockies or nearby.
