I will be upfront. I read Westword's Best Burgers for 2026, and that was the only way I ended up…read morehere. BUT, my yearning for the burger served in the previous spot as Twansburger, now served by Pit Field BBQ, at The Galley, located in Finn's Manor (I would be happy to flowchart this search) was MORE than satisfactory. It was epic. GREAT outdoor area, and, if it is hot, fantastic, almost too cold, AC inside area. Anthony was my bartender, and was perfect for efficiency, personality, and...just being cool. Loved my bar experience. I will get to the burger in a second, but let me just tell you IPA drinkers that I rank all IPA's. I do West Coast, non-hazy ones, and have a list. A LONG list. Full Frame Plants was literally one of my favorite IPA's EVER. Highlighted in fancy colors on my list of hundreds of beers. Cool bar area, other beers besides the one that I picked, and a great venue overall. Now, to the magical burger. It is in a food truck, and Pablo was who I ordered through for the quick trip. He was cordial, knowledgeable, efficient, and...cooked a damn good burger. I threw it in as #10 all time, my list is fluid, but, like the college football rankings, can't just go from unranked to #1. You have to work your way up, but I WILL say the good impression was made on my taste buds. I also recommend the parmesan fries if you need a side. And just listen to Pablo and get the "fry sauce" if you need something to dip them in. I can't believe that the most dimly lit, worst pic I took of this place WAS the burger, but I think I was a little too excited to just EAT it. My bad. Trust me. It looked great. Energy was great here, the people were flocking in after I was the first person there, and I highly recommend this place...and the BURGER (and the Full Frame BEER)...see you there...

They also sell most of the beer they are pouring in cans incase you'd liek to take some home and enjoy it later. I am generally in here on Tuesday or Thursday nights early in the evening, at this time of the week it has a casual neighborhood vibe is not too busy. Ephemeral has great wifi, the service s prompt an knowledgeable. My typical visit is for about a 90 minutes while I catch up on work and have a beer or two in the process. If you are looking for a place for a relaxing beer or coffee with a friend or if like me you have to kill time while your kids are at a sports practice, this is a great option.

Not exactly somewhere you take someone you want to impress but good vibes nonetheless. The night we went, there wasn't anything going on but I could see it being more lively considering they have space for a DJ, or even something like salsa nights. There is an outdoor space that was decent and had space heaters too! Drinks were decently priced but don't expect anything fancy here. The highlight of our visit had to be 'That's So Raven's playing on the TV.

They also have touch tunes so you can decide what you want to listen to. Plenty of seating, inside and outside. Drink specials, including shots, and a shot ski, this feels like a local bar you would find in a warmer location. You order your drinks at the bar, then go sit wherever you like. It's nice to find somewhere in Denver, that has good alcohol (they're not serving Gordon's vodka), at very reasonable prices. Bartender was friendly, and mixes a good, stiff drink. I chose a throw back to college days - cherry vodka, and coke. Yum! We will absolutely be back!

They have a music area where they have records, tapes and maybe even eight tracks that give the place that cool look. Their food seems to be run by a separate entity, but inside the bar it had three dishes on the menu that were Asian inspired. Really friendly bartenders that are also a draw to come back and visit.
