    Chicken and veggie dumplings, excellent
    Mark F.

    I ordered the the vermicelli combination bowl but skipped the shrimp since I'm allergic. They do not skimp on the beef and chicken, which was excellent. In fact, the whole bowl was very delicious. The noodles were nice and soft and the lettuce accompaniment added to the bowl itself. We also ordered chicken and veggie dumplings which were excellent as well. I have nothing to say but good things about this place and the next time we're in Denver it will be at the top of our list for Vietnamese fixes

    Pho (Traditional + House mix)

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here for a solo lunch mid week in September. They weren't too busy when I walked in and had the choice of sitting anywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I selected to sit inside at the booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu isn't too extensive which is nice because everything sounded so good-- made it just a little easier to settle on something. I went with the Pho white meat chicken and mixed the traditional & house broth. Pho was phenomenal-- I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

    Combo meat pho half  and half broth..PERFECT

    So we came back with a big group and we were able to try the curry pho, short rib pho and duck pho, holy moley YUM. All if them were good but I loved the curry pho, so different and the flavors worked!! The lemongrass chicken dumplings are fried ever so lightly, soor no pic the were so food we ate them up before I could. The service was amazing per usual. The espresso martinis are $10 and boozy..This is our favorite pho spot now!! Yay

    Our go to Viet spot in/near downtown. Their house special pho is like a combination of bun bo hue plus pho broth! We get this every time. The prices are great as well as you'd expect a place like this to cater to higher income individuals given the location and demographics. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a hip, trendy, and modern looking restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their to gos even come in a very cool looking recycle bag. I love the fusion appetizers. The pho roll is def a must! They don't skimp out on the elote either.

    Literally my husband and I just got to Denver and we're craving some pho! WOW!! This place is all the feels! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was a vibe, servers were kind and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got a bowl of pho with beef meatballs and a lemongrass beef banh mi! The portions are huge!!! Also free 2 hour street parking. What a great find when visiting Denver!!! A must to visit!!!!

    Went to this joint between visiting the museum of science and nature and the Denver zoo. Food: - ordered the combination traditional pho for $15 - soup wasn't very hot - brisket was chewy and did not taste fresh but the meatball and rare steak were fresh and delicious - noodles were cooked to perfection - basil, jalapeño and lime were fresh but the bean sprout were large and browning Ambience: - [[HIGHLIGHT]]definitely feels geared to the younger/working population[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]very modern[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]creative drinks and creative decor[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]trendy music was playing even in the bathroom[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: - freaking amazing - I have never been to a pho place where they were so willing to split the bowl for you (and it was literally buying 2 bowls for the price of 1... thank you!!) and so willing to customize to your liking (such as I didn't want any of the meat so all the meat was placed in the other bowl) - taking out...they were so willing to separate the noodles from the soup too!! Parking and location: - [[HIGHLIGHT]]you see a lot of folks walking around[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]not much to do[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - parking is mainly street parking but it isn't difficult as you can find free parallel parking in the neighborhood without signs (apologies to those that live in the area!) Thank you Pho & Bar for making my day and for such an amazing experience!

    Reusable cloth bag
    Daniel M.

    Yummy! I've been wanting to try this place as it's only a mile away from our house. I was first blown away by this tote bag that is reusable. What a beauty! My hubby is sick so wanted to order him some comfort food. This place did not disappoint! He is loving the broth and the rare steak pho. I got the grilled chicken pho, what a burst of flavors in my mouth. It also is very filling, I can normally eat my pho in one setting but with this one, I have left overs and also more broth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't wait to go see this place inside, whoever is on their design team and marketing, deserves a raise. Amazing job everyone! :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Combination House Pho
    Stefanie C.

    I've been wanting to come here for a while, but it's always busy! I finally met up with friends here one Saturday afternoon for lunch, and we all had to park several blocks away. Just be prepared to wait at least an hour. Service was fast, but it's a little chaotic. We were seated at the bar, and I loved the fusion between Asian restaurant and sports bar vibes. I ordered the Combination House Pho which was DELICIOUS! Plenty of noodles and meat, and the thought of the broth makes my mouth water. I did throw a wrench into my own plan by asking for Vietnamese Coffee to-go. It was totally forgotten about until I managed to flag someone down, who then personally prepared my coffee. Totally coming back again!

    Pho rolls were bomb.com!
    Kevin W.

    What a great spot that I can add to my list before I have a concert at the nearby venues (Fillmore and Ogden). This is a more Vietnamese fusion serving great rolls and drinks! Atmosphere is definitely more upscale and hip, you won't expect authentic pho (which I recommend actually going to more authentic places like Pho Saigon, or any of the great hole in the wall places on Federal). House Pho is almost like a Bun Bo Hue but meant for people are not used to spices and the other offerings you typically get. Broth is fairly light, I had to add a decent amount of hoisin and Sriracha to bring up the flavor profile. It's cheap but compared to other places in Denver, you get less here. Toppings are in the light side. The beef pho rolls were a hit! The fish sauce based sauce was amazing and all of the flavors blended well. It was definitely a flavor bomb! Crunch garlic and shallot bits as well as fresh herbs really elevate this dish. You won't expect the best Vietnamese food here, but for a fusion it does it good. I would highly recommend their apps, but pass on the pho.

    Portia W.

    Great pho even for vegans! Full service bar delicious hot pho and a convenient location!

    Vietnamese pork egg rolls
    Annette T.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great modern Vietnamese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came with my partner for a date night and we split the pork egg rolls and the bowl of House Pho with brisket. I really appreciated that they split the bowl up into 2 smaller bowls for us to share. The House Pho tasted like a fusion of pho and bun bo hue to me, which is another traditional Viet noodle soup. I really liked it and would recommend it if you like something a little more savory and spicy! The egg rolls were good although I wish they included 4 instead of 3. They had some cocktails on the menu too but I didn't feel like drinking. Next time!

    Tyler N.

    Pho & Bar is one of my go-to's with it being a close walk from me. It's a modern Vietnamese restaurant with great cocktails. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small so it fills up fast, but I haven't had to wait long for a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To start, the buffalo wings are very good, perfectly tangy with a kick. The chicken is cooked well with a slight crunch to them. Absolutely love their house pho. It is basically a Bun Bo Hue broth with pho noodles and toppings. This means it's spicy with a touch of lemongrass. It is perfectly savory and healing. Their traditional is also a good broth. Perfect for a lazy day or a day where you might need a hangover cure. And if you need hair of the dog, they have great cocktails. My all-time favorite is the Lychee Mule. So delicious and refreshing. If you're up for a challenge, they have the mega mule which can be shared with 3 other people or 2 if you're feeling ambitious. Another good one is the spicy thai bloody mary which was seasonal so isn't available any more. Pho & Bar has some of the best pho in the Denver Metro area, and I can't recommend them enough.

We were seated in the bar area at a high top so we were very close to live music performer! So that was an enjoyable portion of the experience! The interior was dimly lit, loud and lively, and offered a rustic but modern feel. Based on this experience, food was overpriced and mediocre. We tried the fish and chips ($23) and fried chicken ($26). We were disappointed the fish and chips were not served with fresh lemon to "baptize" the fried fish. Fries were limp and didn't seem fresh. Also thought the fried fish should have had a crispier crust. The fried chicken was good flavor and texture on fried crust but the white meat was very dry. Mashed potatoes and gravy were lukewarm and not served hot. Also I tried to season the mashed potatoes but the pepper grinder at the table was completely empty. Biscuit was dry, overcooked, and lacked butter. Probably will opt for other options next date night.

My wife and I stopped into Steuben's to have a snack (donut holes) and a couple of rounds of cocktails. We used the Dining Out Passbook for BOGO cocktails with purchase of food. Our bartender (who was perfectly friendly and helpful) said he needed his manager to get the free cocktail. To be clear, we had literally no interaction with this woman at any point. So it's not like we did something to piss her off. When she arrived at the POS station - behind the bar about six feet from where we were sitting - she proceeded to complain about the "a-holes" (edited for language) using the Passbook and what a bunch of a-holes those customers were (not knowing we were in earshot). And when the bartender - who knew who we were and that we could hear everything - said in a hushed tone "No, they were nice" she proceeded to tell him that she didn't care and that they're just a-holes. I've never been treated so shoddy in my life in a restaurant for no other reason than using a promotional discount that they voluntarily participated in. It's bad enough to attack your customers for using a discount. But doing it behind the bar where customers can hear you is beyond unacceptable. And doing it when the customers you're talking about are within earshot is the most offensive thing I've ever expereinced at a restaurant. You may go to Steuben's and have a nice meal, but just be aware that behind the bar, they're talking about what an a-hole you are.

Everything tasted fresh and you can tell they use quality ingredients. Their buffalo chicken mac has celery in it and I was prepared for it to be hit and soggy but YOU GUYS it was not only crisp and crunchy but tasted strongly of celery. I think this small detail is remarkable for a fast casual dining and shows that Mac & Cheezary is putting out a quality product. We'll be back.
