    [[HIGHLIGHT]]10 of us showed up here for lunch right smack in the middle of St. Patrick's Day weekend. They were crowded[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We were greated as soon as we walked in the door, and taken to the less crowded back room. Service was good and attentive. Meals were reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar has a great old school vibe to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Well done Monaghan's.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful experience at this hidden gem historic (pre-prohibition!) neighborhood Irish x Mexican Pub![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Victoria and Susan are a wonderful dynamic duo that have been running the bar for as long as I can remember giving wonderful service to regulars from the neighborhood. I recommend giving this place a visit! Food is great too and they do $2 tacos on tuesdays!

    Spicy Pickle Shot

    Great neighborhood bar. Always feel welcome no matter what day I stop in. Their breakfast chile relleno is amazing. Green chile is flavorful and plentiful. Drinks are strong and generous. They have a special shot with a mix of pickle and spice that is tasty.

    This review is a double edged sword. Both good and bad. We opted to place a take out order due to a suggestion from our American Express dining program. The place is clean, in a cool area of town and very old. Rumor has it that Eisenhower and Alfred Packer both ate here. The waitress was a very attractive woman with long blonde hair. She was extremely helpful and pleasant. Almost flirty. We tipped her well for being so personable. We ordered a double cheeseburger and a beef, smothered burrito. Both were extremely tasty as simple. Why then such a low rating? Even though our food was good, the request of "no tomatoes" was ignored. When we got our meal home, we spent ten minutes picking the tomatoes out of the burrito. Which is slightly dangerous for me as I am allergic to them. Adding ingredients that are specifically asked to be left off, can be dangerous. The only person in the building, including a very full lobby and and the cooks, was the aforementioned, very pleasant, waitress/bartender. I was the only patron wearing one. Social distancing was so bad, I preferred to wait outside for my take out. This place it too small to have that many people sitting so close.

    Diane was our waitress, bartender and became our friend for the next couple of beers. The draft beers were fresh and they were ice cold. We also found out that they have an out door patio. I struck up a conversation with Jim that also works there and is a bar back. He was super nice, friendly and also confirmed a couple stories that I heard this evening. They have the original metal ceiling and still have the bullet holes in the ceiling that were made from Buffalo Bill. This place was established in 1892. It is a great local hang out so we got to meet some of the Friday night regulars. I asked him about this place and they said it was really fun and the food is really good. They offer burritos, fish and chips on Friday, wings, breakfast lunch and dinner. We also have karaoke on Fridays so I have to leave before that starts, lol. So fun, we WOULD go back.

    3 Egg Breakfast Burrito
    Colorado Burrito Bandit ..

    This 2nd oldest bar in Denver was built in 1892 and visited by Dwight D. Eisenhower & Colorado's Alferd Packer who lived a few doors down. The chili is a simple Colorado classic pork green chili with red chili flakes that provides a good kick at the first bite. The burrito is 3 eggs with hash browns & bacon in every bite. The baño is a clean spacious single stall & they have 2 available. Pro tip: They have a morning happy from 8-10am everyday but Monday when happy hour is ALL. DAY. LONG.

    Possibly bullet holes in the ceiling.

We looked over the menu and decided on the "Holla" Peña Lollipoppas. Bacon wrapped shrimp lollipops stuffed with cream cheese & jalapeño, served with a raspberry jalapeño jam. Yes, please! This was the perfect snack to keep us going on our day's adventures. the shrimp and bacon went well together, the filling gave it the popper flavor and that hit of sweet from the jam brought it all together. I would like to come back again to try some other items on their menu. Most excellent stop.

With that being said it was a bit loud in there but everyone appeared to be having a great time, the servers included. I ordered the Brutal Burger with fries and it came out pretty quick. It's a nice thick juicy burger that's been seasoned and comes with all the fixings. Be warned, a lot of the items on the menu say they're spicy. This burger was not.

Was not aware they had more than one location so it worked for us since we were close to Littleton and didn't want the hassle of downtown traffic. Great old style restaurant with a full bar offering a "Diner" kind of vibe. Staff was very friendly and helpful offering a good sized menu of comfort food style entrees of Burgers, Sandwiches, some Mexican dishes and salads. Reasonably priced menu items and good sized entrees made our lunch perfect. My apologies for not taking any photos of our entrees but we were talking when the food came and very hungry so we all dug in to the deliciousness. I had the burger of the month which was a 1/2 lb burger with crispy wontons, caramelized onions, bacon, arugula, goat cheese and a balsamic peach vinegar. Some of the other entrees were the pulled pork sandwich and a chile relano burger. The fries were crispy and flavorful as well the onion rings with a light batter and cooked to crispy perfection. A great place to stop for a burger and enjoy the old school charm and comfort. I see why it is a local favorite.. Bravissimo Cherry Cricket

    3rd time to a cherry cricket and first time at this location. I really wanted to like it but sadly…read moreonly the vibes, the staff, and the menu descriptions are good. The food? Mediocre. Burgers are dry even though we asked for medium. Adding sauce after sauce to the patty (customization galore) isn't the answer because it makes the sandwich too salty yet not solving the dryness of the meat. But I'm glad they opened up a location in the southwest area so one doesn't have to always go to Cherry Creek.

We made a reservation and were seated promptly at a large outdoor table offering both sunny and shaded spots. The setting is lovely, a nicely restored historic building with a Victorian vibe in downtown Littleton. We ordered: * Roasted Brussels Sprouts ($10) - sopressata, shaved parmesan, oregano-infused white balsamic * Chicken Salad Sandwich ($17) - toasted whole wheat, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, tomato, apple, walnut * Short Rib Grilled Cheese ($20) - beef short rib, white cheddar, tomato, horseradish sauce, arugula, caramelized onion, sourdough * (2) Black Forbidden Rice Salmon Bowls ($25) - cabbage slaw, cilantro, avocado, pickled red onion, cilantro vinaigrette Plus three cocktails: two Bees Knees and one Manhattan. Service was excellent and the food was very well executed. The shared Brussels sprouts were a hit. The salmon bowls were flavorful and nicely prepared, as was the chicken salad sandwich. The fries were hot, crispy, and tasty. However, the standout was the Short Rib Grilled Cheese. Absolutely fantastic, and definitely what I'll be ordering next time.
