    Curry Tempura Fried Chicken Sandwich | Instagram: @telephonesmoothie
    Jacqueline T.

    The special here really jumped out at me, so I had to give it a try. It was a Curry Tempura Fried Chicken Sandwich. Overall, I'd say it was good, but I think I was hoping for more curry and it was mostly sweet chili sauce. The piece of chicken I got also was a bit grisly, but that happens sometimes. There were a lot of other things on the menu that I wanted to try, so I'd love to go back.

    Goat Cheese and Prosciutto Burger
    Jacob B.

    Knockabout burger is a vendor within the Avanti Denver food hall. Avanti is a very nice space but can get quite crowded during peak hours. I placed my order online and the food was ready very quickly. I got the goat cheese and prosciutto burger with parmesan garlic fries. Both the burger and fries were excellent! The burger's flavor profile was balanced perfectly. I do wish there were a couple more burger options, especially something with spice. However, I highly recommend this spot for a quality burger if you're in the LoHi area.

    French fries drenched in Buffalo sauce and oil.

    I got French fries that were so completely covered in sauce, I could not eat them. The bottom of the bowl was full so full of sauce and oil that the fries were completely soggy. When I went back to tell them I got treated with a rude nasty attitude by the blonde female worker and the guy didn't want to fix it. I was told this is how it is supposed to look. Terrible food terrible service. Everyone has bad looks on their face and not friendly.

    The Knockabout Burger and a side of fries

    This place is inside the avanti on the second floor. The food takes a while to cook. This is also the kind of place that stabs your burger with a tooth pick and charges 20 dollars including the fries and shake... it's blasphemy in my opinion. The service is fair for what this place is. It's a food stall in a huge cafeteria you just get your own food and put your own dishes away. Also I'm not sure what the point of tipping at any of the food vendors in the avanti is when their custodial staff who are actually out and about cleaning are most likely not associated with each individual vendor. The service is not dissimilar from McDonald's/ Burger King. You order your food, you pay, you wait for your order to be called, you sit down and eat, you toss your trash and out the tray away, and then the custodian disinfects where you were just sitting. Now to the food. It's a standard burger with house sauce. The burger isn't too big and it's not too filling. The house sauce is also about the same as Freddy's fry sauce. The fries are also not much to write home about, crispy and salty, maybe a bit better than Burger King fries. The real champion of the meal was the butter butter milk shake, it's exactly what you expect it to taste like. It's a really good milk shake but not good enough to save the meal. After this I also went to the pizza place downstairs to eat a pizza to fill me up and I still was not full. For ambiance we gotta just review the avanti. We happened to go on trivia night and it was packed but no one was participating in it. It feels like a bad high school cafeteria, not enough seating, broken furniture, odd dining table choices, awkward seating positions when available, dimly lit, "open air" second floor space is cramped and crowded. Getting a beer though is not hard here. I understand that this place is a food eatery that is set around socialization while dining but it does a very poor job at it. Also parking in this area is terrible and Denver has awful public transit, getting here is painful and quite annoying.

    I realized that I can't invite friends to Avanti F&B for "BRUNCH" anymore because there's not really any brunch-sounding food options. That is, except for the Brunch Burger at Knockabout Burgers! It's located right when you walk upstairs (across from the bar) and they have a decent menu selection, accommodating more dietary restrictions than most burger joints I've seen. The one time I ate here, I got some standard cheeseburger with hatch chiles, but the whole thing tasted like grease. I was confused by the lack of flavor. The garlic parmesan fries were good, though. I'd be willing to try this place one more time. How could I not when they use ingredients like fried prosciutto, black truffle oil, and kimchi slaw? Plus there's shakes that involve peanut butter! While I didn't enjoy my burger (and they actually take a LONG time to prepare) they've been accommodating to people who have special requests, which I appreciate. Not much else to review since the seating and drink situation is on the Avanti side. All that is fantastic. Definitely after some happy hour or evening beers, I could see myself craving a burger, so we'll see how that shakes out next time!

    Burger of the month with cheese curds and butter bacon marinara. So delicious!!
    Jennifer P.

    I have been here a couple times now and both times my burgers were fantastic. I have gotten the breakfast burger, the bacon cheeseburger (make it a double), and the latest one the burger of the month. This one had cheese curds and a butter bacon marinara on it. OMG!! I highly recommend upgrading your fries to the garlic Parm for an extra 75 cents. And get the Knockabout sauce for dipping. They also have a rotating shake flavor. They do have other options besides burgers including chicken, and vegetarian options and gluten free buns! Definitely check them out in the upstairs area of Avanti.

    Colorado hot chicken
    Katie N.

    Ordered Colorado hot chicken sandwich that came with a side of fries. The sandwich was great, although not super spicy. Fries were done perfectly!

    Brunch BEEF Burger
    Steven W.

    Burgers are absolutely delicious! Do yourself a favor and get the Brunch BEEF Burger - you won't regret it. The burger itself comes with a juicy 1/3 lb beef patty, crispy bacon, a perfectly cooked sunny side egg, crisp lettuce, a juicy tomato, and some dank sauce on a buttery brioche bun. I would say the only downside is the service. When it gets busy, it can take awhile to get your food. Besides that, everything is top notch. Overall a great experience and I'll have to go back again sometime so that I can try some of the other burgers!

    Burger and truffle fries
    Stephanie S.

    The burger had too much going on. Too much lettuce. The aioli didn't go with the goat cheese. The bun was a little too big and a little burnt masking the flavor. The fries were too salty and too crispy. Yes apparently too crispy can happen.

    Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.
