    Cool spot on south Broadway with a rooftop patio! Great selection of beer on tap. Also food menu. Fun atmosphere for a casual place to relax - happy hour mon- Friday 2-6pm and some other events

    We went for brunch, the bottomless mimosas, food, and service was all amazing. For the price and the experience this place can't be beat.

This time, I gave their Mac and cheese a try- this was amazing as well. I don't know what they do to their green chili, but whatever it is they do, others could learn from them. Our server was very nice but also very busy. She accidentally overcharged us for a drink and it took a minute for her to see the mistake as well-all good though. Definitely will return here again and again.

On a recent Saturday night, we had fantastic margaritas made by our lovely bartender, Ryan--easily some of the best we've had in the area. We started with the tomato, carrot, and coconut soup, which was outstanding: comforting, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The veggie burger was clearly made from scratch and served with crispy fries, and it absolutely delivered. Overall, we left happy and already looking forward to our next visit. P.S. Chef Amanda delivered a cupcake on our way out which was incredible!

Good, burger joints at that, that closed. I don't expect this place to be here long. The drinks are slowwwwwwww. Not mixed drinks, an out of the bottle and pour drink. The decor is minimal and bare, there's nothing up on the walls, and feels like it hasn't been decorated all the way, as a result it's super loud because there's nothing to absorb sound. I couldn't hear my kid across the table. Our food came out after a lengthy wait, we did order after the kids, so we obviously didn't expect it to be ready at the same time, but it was quite lengthy on its own time table. My husband ordered a burger, and he doesn't like squishy bleedy burger meat. I eat steak rare and I don't eat burgers rare, it was too much for me. At first he did t want to say anything, and eat it because our food had taken soooo long. He did end up saying something, and of course the waitstaff felt terrible even though it wasn't their fault, and took the raw burger away. Next thing you know, some "chef" Amanda came out and boasted about herself to the table next to us. This chef boasted about prior places she's worked and yadda yadda, meanwhile the medium well burger my husband ordered was bleeding all over the place after he bit into it. Yeah? Fancy shmancy chef can't even cook a burger. You know who can cook a hamburger patty? My 11 year old. For real. Evidently the owner was there tonight. So, IDK. We will not be back. We will hang tight for the next place that takes over the space.

I ordered ahead online and customized "The 5280" burger with a bison patty. The restaurant was easy to find on the lower level of the Denver Pavilions (shopping mall) and pickup was easy, with my food ready by the estimated time provided. That said, the meal itself was disappointing. The bison burger was noticeably lacking in flavor. I also ordered a small side of fries, but those also missed the mark and lacked the crispy texture I was hoping for. The convenience and smooth pickup experience were appreciated, but based on the food, this would not be a spot I would rush back to during my short stay.
