5/5 Stars Schoolyard…read moreGarden is such a gem! I stopped in recently and was immediately struck by the energetic vibe. The space has a great buzz to it--lively and welcoming without being overwhelming--making it a perfect spot for a casual hangout or a mid-week pick-me-up. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. It's rare to find a place where the service matches the high energy of the room so perfectly. On top of the great atmosphere, the prices are very reasonable. It's refreshing to find a spot in Denver that delivers this kind of quality and experience without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking for a new local go-to or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!

Went with a friend and since this a walk up and order place that doesn't serve you like a…read morerestaurant, I was very surprised to find out they automatically charge a 20% gratuity on every order. The service was subpar, if not terrible to non-existent. You have to pay at each station you order from so you cannot get food and drinks at the same place. This is not only inconvenient but also a lot of work on the customer's part, similar to a mall food court. Clearly not well thought out and seems a bit pointless. The bartender was nice, however, and seemed to be the only person that knew what was going on during my recent experience here. I tried to order something vegan here, in which you would think the typical fares that are vegan would be safe to order, but not even the falafel is vegan bc they put eggs in it for some strange and unusual reason. (Mind you I'm a falafel connoisseur and it's always vegan and does not require eggs for the purpose of a binding agent, as they explain here. ) Thinking the veggie and hummus plate would be safe, I asked if it was vegan and was told it was. When I received it, there was some large mass of white yogurt type substances on it which encompassed all of my veggies. I took the plate back up to the counter to ask what it was and they told me that it was yogurt based and I should just eat around it. Feeling slighted, I begrudgingly went back to my table and started wiping the yogurt, substance off of my veggies and tried to separate them out as much as I could. My friend saw me struggling with my food and having been in the restaurant industry herself, she was confused on the customer service side of things so she decided to order us some sweet potato fries to cheer me up and go chat with the clerk. She asked the clerk about it and told her that she needed to replace the dip with something else I could not eat since they served me something dairy based when I had clearly asked for something vegan. The clerk obviously was dumbfounded and just looked at my friend like she was from Mars! She asked to speak to a manager to help out with the situation since are was getting nowhere with the attending clerk. The manager was extremely surprised that there was a vegan request and offered to send over some hummus and extra veggies to circumvent the situation. I guess they don't know what vegans are here and do not offer anything for vegans, gluten free, or other food intolerance. This is incredibly insulting given that this is fairly new place and it's 2026!! Get with the times people! Even barbecue restaurants have vegan options or at least know what a vegan is! The veggies seemed fresh, but I was extremely disappointed in the hummus, which was definitely Cedars store-bought. It was very grainy and lacked much flavor. The value for the meal was just not there, on top of having terrible customer support. Given I paid $15 + a non-negotiable, mandatory 20% tip. I could have easily went and got myself a package of Cedars at the grocery store and chopped up a few veggies with pita bread to eat at home. Point being, I was really hungry when I met my friend for drinks and had a very long day at work so I just wanted to get food in my stomach. I was extremely disappointed in the entire situation, to say the least. I must add the drinks are expensive and only found one to be enjoyable. The strawberry lemonade did not have any strawberries or taste as such. It was just a super sweet concoction with subpar vodka that is premade. Again, what am I tipping 20% for if the drinks are premade with low grade ingredients and I'm ordering from a window without any actual server serving me in any way? Although the idea and decor is original and has a nice ambiance, they clearly missed their mark when it comes to ease of ordering, value, and customer service. They clearly have zero clue to what vegan (or dietary preference) is and have yet to establish any connection with their customer base or demographic of Denver, with its versatile citywide culture.

Even for a late Saturday afternoon, the place was busy with just 1 table (2 seats) available inside and most of the long benches near heaters outside full. The tables away from heaters had space because... it was chilly and no one wanted them! A tremendous beer selection inside from many local Colorado breweries, along with wine and cocktails. Their Old Fashioned is made with Buffalo Trace and was fantastic! Food is also good here. I enjoyed the Elk and Jalapeño brat while sipping on a refreshing Porter. You order and pickup your drinks and food here, so don't sit down and wait on staff. Parking is plentiful, but can fill up if the beer garden has a lot of visitors. If you do sit outside, the Wings Over the Rockies museum is right next door, with a few static displays out front.

They also have an original Nintendo with Mario. Seating a little tricky, be careful sitting on the benches, they move in odd ways. But loved the tables and chairs upstairs with the perfect view of the stage! Service was my only complaint- I think the first guy at the bar was having a hard time because they were so busy. I waited at the bar for a while without being acknowledged, then by the time he did finally notice me he just held up a finger. Finally a chick came over and took my order, but it took a while. She was perfectly nice, however, and it wouldn't stop me from returning or recommending them. The helles was a decent German beer with a good depth of flavor- I would come back and try their other beers for sure. Highly highly recommend and will absolutely be back for other events! Bring back emo night please!

They had a section with some large games like beer, pong and cornhole as well as a separate side that had a stage. The upstairs location had some tables and a ton of plants. You could overlook everything from the upstairs. The night was fun, but the place seemed dead for the most part. Kind of surprising for a nice weekend night. There is also a loud rowdy group that was kind of monopolizing all of the large games so we didn't get a chance to play those. Beer was decent although they do add a 20% charge. Might come back in the summer when the weather gets nicer.

My friend and I went here for a single mixer event and we've both never been to this venue so we weren't quite sure what to expect. Since the event was hosting, they bought all the drinks and food so I won't go too much into that but they did serve chicken nuggets and fries all night and they were hot fresh and flavorful! The venue itself is huge! Plenty of outdoor seating enough room for everyone and then they have two separate indoor seating areas one on the top floor and one on the main floor. I would definitely suggest this place for a casual meet up with a large friend group or even hosting an event here. The servers and staff were all pretty friendly quickly, busing table tables as they saw empty drinks and baskets. They also brought out fries and chicken tenders as fast as possible. Overall, the venue itself is wonderful and the service was great. I would definitely suggest hosting an event or having a large gathering here.

Thought I would jump in to help up their current rating of 3.7 start as my yesterday's experience…read moreat this establishment in the LoHi was quite good. I was in the neighborhood for my side hustle shifts so the purpose of my visit was to grab something quick so I would be able to eat in the car after my assignment was done. When I saw the Chickpea Pesto on the digital menu, I simply couldn't think of anything else. I went with it without any sides. The price was $11. The food preparation didn't take too long despite being quite busy in the mid afternoon on Easter. Quick service is always a plus. In a matter of 10 minutes or so, the lady with whom I placed my order handed me my food. When I saw the inside of the container, I knew something went wrong. It appeared that what was between the buns was indeed chickpea basil but I ordered the wrap version of the Chickpea Burger as that option was indeed listed on the menu. Turns out, the manager (Mookie) who stepped in to correct the situation said that version was supposed to be taken off/out from the menu (or something along those lines he said) but it had still been remaining on it. He generously and kindly offered to get me something else with no additional charge so I ordered the Cobb Salad to substitute it. Right after placing it though, Mookie realized that his kitchen staff could still make the wrap version of the veggie burger so he had it quickly made and brought it to me. In the meantime, my Cobb Salad was never cancelled so he also brought that out. And all of a sudden, I had three dishes with the price of one dish ($11). Oh boy, I truly felt bad for this so I gave him my quick apology for all the confusion and mishaps. He was so pleasant about it and said I could keep all three with "Don't worry about it" comment. Since I didn't need three dishes, I gave the salad to my colleague friend who was in the restaurant with me (she ordered chicken tenders so she too, ended up with two dishes with one dish price!) m Thanks to Mookie and his kind staff for the excellent service my colleague and I received yesterday. As for the Chickpea Pesto.... As I got back to my car, I ate the much needed meal before I headed my way to what was next. I didn't realize that I was famished; I ended up devouring both the wrap and the burger in a matter of 15 minutes. And I was shocked as to how decent the chickpea pesto was. Well-marinated with overall light taste. Quite refreshing to say the least. Recess is mainly a young people's hangout place. Dog friendly where when we were in the restaurant the patio was filled with people with their adorable furry friends. Yesterday's pleasant temperature made the perfect opportunity for many to dine in outside under the sun. I shall definitely return to order me the same Chickpea dish. I hope to see it remain on it next time I go here.

Maybe we were just brave, but with blankets and the outdoor heaters the space served well for a small get together. The inside, however, was PACKED. Was it something in the air that influenced every young family West of Denver to crave local brews and fried food options? Or is this just the typical crowd for this establishment? Either way, I don't believe myself to be the target market for this location. After a few hours, the children's birthday party and other large family gatherings occupying the warm interiors finally disappeared, and we were able to enjoy all the splendors of their heated former firehouse. The staff who was wandering the facilities to take empty trays and glasses from tables were exceptionally nice, the food options were as plentiful as the variety on tap, and the patio's ambience was exactly what we needed. Ticked all the boxes you'd expect of a suburban beer hall. Overall, not really my scene, as I don't have a golden doodle or a curious toddler, but if that sounds like an apt description for the company you keep, you'll enjoy this spot immensely.

The entrance is a cool, twinkle light arched "hallway" that leads up to the host stand. We were welcomed in and seated at one of the high tops near the bar. There are so many cool seating options. Rebecca welcomed us and took our drink orders. I chose to have a glass of Les Sarrins Rosé. My husband got a drink called Trailer Park Queen that consisted of prosecco, St Germain & lemon. My son went for a mocktail called Ginger Baby that had Seedlip Grove, ginger beer, cucumber, mint & lemon. My daughter chose the peach flavor of High Noon. We chose two appetizers from the Happy Hour. Jalapeno Homies, jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, bacon, cheddar and tomatoes. It came with a side of BBQ sauce. These were a hit! The barbeque sauce put it over the top. Our second appetizer was the hummus. It was roasted red pepper hummus with kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta. It was served pita triangles, carrots and cucumber. My son ordered the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. It had grilled chicken, pesto, white American cheese, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and was served on focaccia bread. It came with fries. He is a huge pesto fan and thoroughly enjoyed his sandwich. My husband, daughter and I decided to share two pizzas. We chose Matt, without mushrooms (I'm allergic). So that left us with the following toppings: mozzarella, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, green peppers, black olives, cheddar and ranch. Our second selection was the Street Corn pizza. it had mozzarella, roasted corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, avocado crema, cream cheese and the cutest mini tajin bottle to shake on top. We chose the Tavern style, a thin crispy crust and cut into squares. There was enough left to bring home for all of us to have as lunch the next day. Both pizzas were delicious. My favorite was the Street Corn. Overall great experience. Nice staff, great food, fun beverages.
