Cute straw!
Nicole N.

This was our last stop on our Denver trip after I saw the crunchy chicken Caesar wrap on TikTok! There is free parking on the street, just make sure you watch the signs carefully! The staff here was SO sweet, very friendly and had great vibes! It wasn't busy while we were there but our server was fantastic! The decor in here is soooo cute! It's all outdoor stuff but brought indoors! There were bag hooks underneath the tables(love that!!) And some many large spaces to bring a larger group! We got the Nadene pizza and the viral crunchy chicken Caesar wrap! They were both phenomenal! I'm so sad we don't live local because we would absolutely be back!! The food service and vibes are all on point at this place! If you haven't tried them, get moving!

We had a nice time! We ordered the cheese sticks and truffle fries both very good and lots of cheese. Pepperoni pizza was good a bit crunchy which isn't my preference. Staff is very friendly and food came out very quick. It's a fun spot, lots of photo opportunities and very fun vibes. Overall very much enjoyed our time!

This was my first time here. I came with my family and we decided to come during Happy Hour. Parking is on the street. We were able to find a spot just a block away. The entrance is a cool, twinkle light arched "hallway" that leads up to the host stand. We were welcomed in and seated at one of the high tops near the bar. There are so many cool seating options. Rebecca welcomed us and took our drink orders. I chose to have a glass of Les Sarrins Rosé. My husband got a drink called Trailer Park Queen that consisted of prosecco, St Germain & lemon. My son went for a mocktail called Ginger Baby that had Seedlip Grove, ginger beer, cucumber, mint & lemon. My daughter chose the peach flavor of High Noon. We chose two appetizers from the Happy Hour. Jalapeno Homies, jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, bacon, cheddar and tomatoes. It came with a side of BBQ sauce. These were a hit! The barbeque sauce put it over the top. Our second appetizer was the hummus. It was roasted red pepper hummus with kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta. It was served pita triangles, carrots and cucumber. My son ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. It had grilled chicken, pesto, white American cheese, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and was served on focaccia bread. It came with fries. He is a huge pesto fan and thoroughly enjoyed his sandwich. My husband, daughter and I decided to share two pizzas. We chose Matt, without mushrooms (I'm allergic). So that left us with the following toppings: mozzarella, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, green peppers, black olives, cheddar and ranch. Our second selection was the Street Corn pizza. it had mozzarella, roasted corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, avocado crema, cream cheese and the cutest mini tajin bottle to shake on top. We chose the Tavern style, a thin crispy crust and cut into squares. There was enough left to bring home for all of us to have as lunch the next day. Both pizzas were delicious. My favorite was the Street Corn. Overall great experience. Nice staff, great food, fun beverages.

We went for the Christmas bar. We are glad we made a reservation because the place was very busy. The ambiance was beautiful with all the lights and decorations. It wasn't overdone. The service was fast and friendly without feeling rushed. We ordered a pizza and a salad. Both had great flavors and felt substantial for the price. This is a great spot to meet friends or for a fun first date.

The spot to hit in the Lower Highlands if looking for a chill joint to watch games and grab some drinks. Great food as well

I don't even know how to describe this place other than saying it's appropriately named and there's not a thing I would add or take away from the decor or experience. I definitely felt like I'd spent the evening as a "happy camper." From the outside, the place has a glow and just seems loud. It's large. It takes over the entire intersection, though Avanti, the food court and bar with its two stories, towers across the street. It's just an electric energy that pulses from Happy Camper and its patrons. During the summer, the chill patio is hopping. During the winter, it's a warm shelter of neon, sparkle and a cool campfire. These pics are from a Wednesday evening, stopping in for dinner. We had our IDs checked at the door then walked through an arcade of fairy lights to get a table in the back, near the bar. Our server was a complete delight! She was well informed with the menu, helped me pick something that wasn't pizza to eat and guided my friend through a sampling of specialty cocktails while I sipped on my Diet Coke that she didn't let go empty. The wrap was terrific, fries with melted cheese were mouthwatering... honestly surprised I couldn't finish them but it was so filling. All the loud parts I thought would be the experience from the outside actually turned into the perfect place for old friends to catch-up and enjoy some laughs. I mean, for a gal that enjoys discoballs as much as myself, who could ask for a more relaxing backdrop in an evening out?!

WHIPPED FETA CAESAR* LINDA
M'kayla D.

Sunday Funday? I stopped by Sunday afternoon and it was packed! I walked up to the bar and was able to order my drink within seconds. The Hugo sprits was great! My server/bartender was so sweet and attentive. It was my first time, so she recommended a couple things off the menu. Everything was delicious! I ordered whipped feta, a caesar salad, and a small Linda pizza, but I added roasted chicken! Chefs kiss! I'll be here for a week and they might see me four more times. (I'll add the servers name if I see her again. Literally the sweetest person I've come across since I've been here. She made my experience 10x better.)

I was so impressed with the food here I can't stop thinking about it. We had a reservation for 4 and were pretty late due to game time traffic. They were able to get us back on the list asap and we were seated in no time, despite the house Broncos/Nuggets crowd. Our server warned us the kitchen was behind so we placed our drink and food orders immediately: DRINKS Gin n Tonic Espresso Martini Moscow Mule Pink Flamingo APPETIZERS Truffle fries (10/10) Mozz sticks PIZZA The Tony - mozzarella, prosciutto, spinach, caramelized onion, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic, goat cheese & cream cheese (genuinely some of the best pizza I've ever had and I worked in high end pizza for 8 years). Food came out surprisingly quick, our server was so kind and the overall feel of the place made the start of our night so so special.

What a cool spot!! And what a great time of year to come experience this lively family-friendly spot! The decorations for the holidays are incredible! The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was really good! We ordered the jalapeno homies and the the large classic crust Nadene with sides of ranch. The homies were good, definitely on the small side, but flavorful. They are served with a side of bbq sauce which seemed odd but it worked. The Nadene was delicious! The sauce was really good and they put lots of fresh basil on it which is always a bonus! Not all pizza places put a decent amount of basil on and it can make all the difference. The crust was delicious as well, excited to try tavern style next time. Have to say tho that we were not fans of the ranch, but everyone has their own opinion when it comes to the dressing...it just wasn't our favorite. Come here before they take the decorations down! Great spot for the whole family...they even allow dogs Mon-Thurs!!

The perfect vibe is the definition for this place! Just amazing ,have been there manier times... But this holiday time is the fab! Perfect lights ,decor & ambiance makes it's amazing...'the food ,the drinks they were all too good... Guacamole was super yum with pomengrates in it made it taste very different ...loved it... Went there with the family visiting from Seattle,they loved it too.... Highly recommended guys!

Rose B.

Stopped by Happy Camper and was really impressed. We tried cocktails from the winter menu and they were excellent--especially the peppermint winter cocktail. It was creamy, festive, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. We also ordered pizza, which was very good. The crust stood out in particular--well made, flavorful, and cooked just right. Great spot for seasonal cocktails and solid pizza.

Michelle M.

a trip to Denver and great find just in time for the Holidays with Christmas lights and fun deco througout. We did not have any reservations just walked in and was able to get a seat quickly new the window what an atmosphere are cheery. Started with our drinks and yes the Espresso Martini was great! also enjoyed their pizza perfect crust thin and crispy topping was just right and pick up their beer can happy camper glass gift ideas . will certainly return again soon. Parking was a bit looking around on the street side. Happy Holidays! Thank You!

Absolute gem of a place and a must see when visiting Denver! Coming from LA, a bar like this would have the longest line just to get in. The wait for a table was about a half hour, but the bar was open and there was lots of things to check out we waited. Disclaimer: we came during an event. I coincidentally visited on Taylor Swift night and was thoroughly impressed by the Halloween/Taylor Swift decor. They had a live DJ, small businesses, and a friendship bracelet making table. The amount of detail and care the staff put into this place is phenomenal. The pumpkin spice espresso martini was amazing and I honestly wish I asked for the recipe. The elote dip was delicious and a great size for sharing. The Big Ass Lemonade was a hit with my group as it is the best bang for your buck. It was quite strong, but a good time! There was a cute Photo Booth by the front entrance which was a great way to remember our trip in Denver. Unfortunately, it did take a little long to get to the bar counter to order our drinks since there was a lot of people there for the event, but I'd still come back. The vibes were immaculate~ Plenty of street parking!

Is it ok to bring kids for lunch?

I think it would be fine. The afternoon we were there, a Saturday, there were plenty of kids there. One thing I noticed too, the music was not blaring so you could actually have a conversation. It did get louder the busier they got but it still… Read more

Do you have to reserve a table or is walk-in ok?

We recommend making a reservation as it's the only way to secure seating, but we do take walk-ins!

Our patio is enclosed and heated during the winter!

Are pets aka well behaved dogs welcomed?

Actually, this spot is centrally located, on the edge of Uptown and Five Points, right between City Park and the Central Business District. There's also a nice parking lot. I ordered the Supreme with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and kalamata olives. I found it very average. I collected it promptly at the time specified, but the crust was very soggy and too droopy to pick up a slice. The toppings were OK, but nothing special. The amount of tomato sauce was a little light for my taste and it was very bland. The same with the cheese. I had heard good things about this place, but there is far superior pizza to be had in Denver these days. I was not impressed. The area is not well-lighted and it's kind of creepy at night. So is the building. The staff was friendly and they did bring me my takeout box promptly.

Great food and good service!…read more Street parking so make sure you read the signs. A lot of other restaurants so you might have to go down a few streets. Went here for a friends birthday so we made a reservation. It wasn't that busy when we arrived but it is a small space so never hurts to reserve a table. Our server was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions about portion sizes and what ingredients were in each item. We ordered the garlic bread and salad to share and I got the Cacio e Pepe full size. I didn't eat the salad but my friends really liked it! The garlic bread was AMAZING! Definitely the talk of the night! It's only three slices and it was a little pricy but seemed worth it. The full-size Cacio e Pepe was creamy and delicious! I didn't finish it all intentionally because I wanted to take the rest for lunch tomorrow. I would definitely suggest this one to anyone! At the bottom of the menu, it does say that a 20% service fee is added onto everyone's bill and that this is not a tip. I think it's important to point this out because some people might misinterpret it so definitely take that as you will. Overall, the food was amazing, it was a little pricey, but worth it for a friend's birthday.

We ordered garlic bread, a custom pizza with sausage , ravioli with lamb and pasta with arugula pesto and asparagus all to share. The ravioli came first. It was pretty bland even for my 7 yr old. Lamb was slightly dry and bland. The pizza was average, ok. The other pasta never arrived. We waited over 30 min after we had finished dishes before we just had to cancel the order. They said they only have 10 pans for pasta and they had 41 orders...at that point we just wanted to leave plus the lightest pasta was going to be served last. On top of that, the waiter while I was talking took my drink that was 40% full and I was saving it to go with my meal as I wasn't going to order a second cocktail. That was annoying and felt deliberate to try to get us to order more drinks while we waited.
