Back at Fish N Beer for another visit and overall, the food is still solid and the staff are friendly. We had 8:00 reservations, waited about five minutes, and were seated at the high-top in the very back of the covered patio. I've sat there before and it's definitely not my favorite spot. The additional seating behind us was so dark that it made that whole section feel a little forgotten. Food was a mix of hits and misses. Grilled oysters 4/5, panko crab cakes 3/5, coconut ceviche 2/5, PEI mussels 4/5, and the FNB Basket was the clear winner at 5/5. Now for the unexpected dinner guest...a mouse. The table next to us spotted it before our food arrived, and eventually it started running around and getting pretty close to our table. Not exactly the company you want with dinner. I still like the food and vibe at Fish N Beer, but between the back seating and our little friend, this visit definitely was as strong as before.

Tuna tartare

We had a double date with my parents. My mom had a hankering for cod and chips. She enjoyed her meal, although she mentioned even though her meal looked like a huge piece of cod, it was pretty airy but still tasted good and wasn't too greasy. We also enjoyed the tuna tartare and wonton chips. The Scottish salmon was a little dry and I guess I'm just not a big fan of gnocchi. I'd probably try something else next time. We sat on the back patio with high chairs. It started to rain and the server offered to drop the waterproof shade but we liked the fresh air. The music was pretty loud so it was a little hard to hear. Seemed like a good date night spot. Parking was street. I think I'll give it another try but not anytime soon.

10/10 Hands down the best restaurant I've been to in Denver. Service for drinks was a little bit of a wait but the staff was friendly and acknowledged our wait. The restaurant has a fishing boat kind of vibe. Which was very cute. The branzino was to die for. Cooked perfectly with the potatoes and toasted peppers. The grilled octopus was also amazing!!! I need to know how the dipping sauce was made, I even used it on the branzino. I would come back just to buy the sauce. I was so in love with the two dishes. I highly recommend trying these. I'd like to come back and try new dishes

The best meal we had in on this Denver trip. I craving for some good delicious seafood and found this place while searching on Yelp. It had a lot of solid reviews so I had to give it a try. We can here on Saturday around 6:30 without reservations which I knew might have been a mistake but it turned out very while. Initially we had to wait an hour and 15 but actually wait time was about 35 minutes. They told us that they had community table with 2 seats open so we took it. Once we were seated our waitress Cleo was fantastic and friendly. She got our drinks order down and few minutes later our food orders. She was very attentive. As for food we ordered the following: 6 House Oysters- 3 Raw and 3 Garlic Wood Grilled- Absolutely fresh and delicious. The raw oysters tasted clean and briny. The grilled was done perfectly tender and not chewy at all. Smelt Fries- The smelt was also fresh and fried to perfection. Great size portion as well. PEI Mussels- Delicious and fresh. The mussels were plump and tender. The garlic butter sauce with calabrian chili's was delicious. Make you dip your grill bread into the sauce Wood Grilled Spanish Octopus- Outstanding, Octopus was cooked perfectly and grilled. It tender,moist and the taste from the wood grill was perfect. Overall very tasty dish. Overall, Fish N Beer delivered what was i craving for and more. If you're looking for some fresh seafood spot I highly recommend stopping by Fish N Beer. Until our next visit.

Absolutely a 5 star experience! Excellent Happy Hour that started with Guacamole, crab cakes, peel and eat shrimp, followed up with fish and fries, grilled oysters and raw oysters, endive salad, toasted focaccia bread with smoked fish, and ..... finished off with their FABULOUS KEY LIME PIE!!! Oh, yes there were a number of HO libations. Servers were great and eating at the bar and watching the totally pro chef team was super entertaining! Love the vibe here. Feels like you're in New Orleans or along the coast of New England. This is absolutely our favorite Denver restaurant and will be repeated over and over!

Whole fish
Latrice H.

Nice establishment and nice people, but I was not pleased. While my partner enjoyed the branzino (whole fish), the stuffed cod was a total miss. The food was just average and perhaps we didn't try their "standouts," but this place didn't do it for me.

My wife and I had a top-notch experience at Fish N Beer and are already looking forward to going back. Everything about our visit was incredible. We started with West Coast raw oysters and the garlic butter wood-grilled oysters -- both were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The grilled oysters in particular were rich and perfectly prepared. For our entrée, we had the crab-stuffed cod, which was absolutely delicious and beautifully cooked. We finished with key lime pie for dessert, and it was the perfect bright, refreshing ending to the meal. We went on Valentine's Day without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away at the shared table in the front. We didn't mind the communal seating at all -- it added to the lively energy! -- but if you prefer a private table, I'd recommend making a reservation. There's also a great fish bar area where you can watch some of the food prep. The vibes were incredible -- energetic but still intimate. Our server was fantastic and very helpful in guiding our food selections. Easily one of the best spots we've found in the RiNo neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Scottish Salmon

If you love seafood, run don't walk!! This is my favorite celebration spot and I love taking my friends and family here when they visit. Atmosphere is amazing and don't skip the wood grilled oysters.

Only dish I would recommend
Kevin D.

This dinner started off on poorly and despite the dinner getting better as the food came out, it was overall a pretty "meh" experience for how well reviewed this place is. I will also say that we didn't feel like oysters at the time so maybe you will enjoy it more if you stick to that. We had a 630 reservation and arrived at 620. We were told they were waiting for the party at our table to wrap up, and since the bar was full we were asked to wait outside and they would come get us. In the next 20-25 minutes, we saw about 12 people leave and 10 people enter the restaurant (none of which came back out). I was a bit annoyed at that point so I went back in to check on our table. The host (different than the one who spoke to us first) told us our table was still eating dessert. So why were 4-5 other parties sat down before us? Anyway, we finally get seated and ordered the calamari, fish and chips, and market fish (branzino). The calamari was the worst I have ever had (no exaggeration). Well cooked calamari has a plump, springy texture. This calamari was dry, chewy, and thin. I feel like they microwaved the calamari and then battered and fried it or something. There also wasn't that much of it for the price tag. You would do better getting calamari at a typical chain like yard house or something. The peppers in the dish were the only thing we liked. The fish and chips were disappointing in that you only get 1 piece of fish and it was not seasoned at all. For $22 I feel like you should get 2-3 pieces. Batter was done well though and the fries were good. The branzino was the best dish. It was cooked really well and had a nice smoke and char. The fingerling potatoes were really good and the sweet peppers were cooked well but I think adding something with heat would have been better (jalapeno or serrano). They give you grated horseradish which is what I prefer, but it didn't have any bite, which usually happens when it is older. Overall disappointed with the experience. They never asked us how our food was so I didn't get a chance to tell them about the calamari. But that will live on in my memory forever as a clear example of how calamari should NOT be cooked.

Beautifully grilled octopus with fingerling potatoes in Romesco sauce
George E.

In Denver for a weekend and felt more like an adventour rather than fine dining. Fish and Beer was the perfect spot. A small establishment with a seaside slant of fire grilled seafood with a upscale diner vibe. This looked intriguing and good yet not highly refined. We had no reservations on a Thursday night and we're seated at a high top booth overlooking the crowd. Our waitress, Cassie, was busy at the bar mixing drinks and hustling at a few tables. She was engaging and a good sense of humor. We ordered the blue crab claw fritters with a dipping sauce. The piping hot fritters were different in a good way. The grilled oysters that were flying out of the kitchen were to hard to pass up. We tried the devil and garlic charred oysters and were pleasantly rewarded. We could not pass up the Spanish grilled octopus with roasted fingerling potatoes in a spicy Romesco sauce. A slight char on the succulent octopus and buttery potatoes was a homerun. Following the grilled seafood theme, our final selection was the PEI mussels with garlic butter, Calabria chilis, shallots, white wine and homemade grilled focaccia. UNBELIEVABLE! The portion size was huge and packed with flavor. I felt like we were emerged in a long shoreman's diner but definitely upscale, quality seafood. Do yourself a favor a try Fish and Beer in downtown Denver. The staff is engaging, hard working and really good at making good seafood dishes served with big flavors. Very well done FNB.

Crab Cake

Everything is quite delicious! Service is excellent. Fun vibes inside with colorful ocean vibe in the back room and metal tables for a rustic seaside vibe.

Service was good but food was not that impressive. Came during happy hour and ordered 6 house oysters, smoked fish dip, mussels, peel and eat shrimp, fish n chips, and the stuffed cod. Oysters - didn't love either the mignonette or cocktail sauce. wish there was more hot sauce options other than crystal. i also got a couple shell pieces which was not pleasant. good way to chip some teeth Fish dip - dip itself was good. bread is super smoky. little overwhelming Mussels - sauce/broth was kinda sweet, wasn't a huge fan of. got some grit/sand and 2 or 3 mussels were completely shut closed so i didn't want to risk eating those Shrimp - underwhelming, just some old bay on shelled shrimp. def wouldn't get again Fish n Chips - didn't try the fish but the fries were good and liked the tartar sauce. if i were to come back, this is probably what i would order Stuffed cod - yeah i didnt really like this. the crab mixture was extremely heavy and cod was dry. plopped on top of broccolini with very little sauce. not worth it and i felt kinda gross after eating this overall, i'd only get the fish n chips during happy hour if i were to come back. based off my experience, they're not doing a good job of cleaning/shucking the shellfish. the seating arrangement here is also really weird. they have some seating where you're sitting with strangers and there's barely any room on the table. i would not be happy if i were seated in those spots. luckily we got seated at a private table. i'd maybe come back for happy hour if i was in the area but wasn't impressed with anything so wouldn't come out of my way for this. oh parking here sucks too so keep that in mind

Happy hour menu

5/5 next questionnnnnnnnnnnn Good seafood in Denver? Yeah sushi exists but actually good oysters? Yeah come here. Dior, our server, was awesome. Super chill personable and nailed the recommendations. The grilled oysters stole the show. If you come here GET THEM. They're amazing. Get half and half. truly couldn't decide which flavor I liked more. They were some of the best food I've had recently. The raw oysters were also delicious!!! Some of the best oysters in Denver HANDS DOWN. I wouldn't get the fried scallops again, even though I'm happy I tried them. They were just small and not too satisfying other than they were fried. The peel n eat shrimp were HUGE and tasty but not cut, so touch to peel. Can't complain tho. Oysters were so good

Ask the Community - Fish N Beer

Yelp says it's good for kids but I didn't see a kids menu. Do they have a kids menu? Are children welcome if they like seafood?

I don't agree that it is good for kids the menu is for a mature palette and I didn't see a kid selection on the menu.

What is the "devil butter"?

It is a spicy butter sauce that they use for different dishes.

Is it really busy should I make a reservation on a Thursday night?

I think it is a good idea to make a reservation. They seem pretty busy if you just show up. That said, you don't need to make a reservation far in advance. They are often available on short notice (even the day before).

Which days are happy hour? Is it just Tuesday's now like the website says?

Happy Hour is Tuesday through Saturday from 5-6:30pm.

This place charges $2.50 for soda water from the gun and .50 for a side of Siracha. Do you think this is fair?

Absolutely fair. The lights don't stay on for free. The gas that makes your water bubble is not free. With minimum wage rising again for service staff get ready to see lots more places moving to charges like this.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.
