    One of the best bars I've been to in Denver. The Christmas decorations are phenomenal. The holiday martinis are SOOO good, I highly recommend the sugar cookie drink (or maybe it was gingerbread??). They have good deals on shots and beer. There back is cool to hangout as they have a couple pool tables and a stage for live music. The live music was a bit loud - so make sure you like the band that's playing. So glad I found this spot!

    Love this place, always has great basement party type of vibes. Watch out for the security guard with the long hair though. He's rude and creepy, and he gropes my friend every time we go here.

    $21 for a Spring Fling Mojito???

    The Spring Fling Mojito was good but the waitress in the black jumper charged me $21 for a $15 Mojito.

    Kourisa is amazing. I'm a huge customer service guy and this place made me feel at home, instantly!

    Russel gave us a very watery drink. The concoction was not cocked. Not locked and loaded. Two shots and a Red Bull that had ice.

    We went right when they opened so things may have changed, but here is my honest feedback…read more.. Pros: - They views are cool, the pool is lovely. It's a great little rooftop deck/bar. - The indoor lounge space is cozy and inviting. - The two cocktails I had there were well balanced and delicious. Not overpriced, considering location and vibe. Cons: - The very first bartender we went to (shorter, older guy with a beard) was pretty rude. I understand they were extremely busy and this was probably one of their first services, but at one point while he was making drinks I asked him a question about one of the cocktails and he barked at me to please stop talking to him because he was trying to remember the ingredients and he would be with me in a minute. My friends and I were all kind of taken aback by that. I wasn't being annoying, I was very friendly... and it would've been my first drink of the night so it wasn't a great experience to start out. - This is definitely a bougier place. Some of the guests definitely made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Like we weren't fashionable enough, didn't look rich enough or had enough lip filler to be there. This place certainly has a type...

Unfortunately the overall experience was not great. My friend made a reservation for the pool and expressed that we were interested in swimming and cooling off. We were give direct permission to swim, relax, and enjoy. Upon arrival we were brought to the patio furniture around the pool which gets extremely hot in the sun. After enjoying a round of drink and food, we got into the pool and lounged around the sides. We were approached by the only other person at the pool and were harshly told what we can and cannot be doing. This person was a resident and told us that we couldn't even touch a lounge chair. It was very rude and unnecessary considering the 30 empty chairs all around. This person then contacted the waitress and manager and made a huge deal of it. We were eventually asked to get out of the pool. This seemed like a huge miscommunication handled very terribly. This was not a great look for the building as it is still leasing unit out.

What a great little place this is (with a whole miniature golf course and a bunch of picnic tables in the back). First and foremost, Alex was my bartender, and the service was flawless...even while he was extremely busy when I first got there. Spot-on service throughout my visit, and he definitely elevated the visit. Good selection of cocktails, beers, and liquor, and great energy in the place. So, a cool place to hang out in general, but let me get to the burgers served there. Dalton's is the place, and it is a window inside the place. I went there because it was on Westword's Best Burger list, and I was NOT disappointed. You do you, but I got the double with fries and some kind of magical pimento cheese dip that worked beautifully with the fries. Cole was the guy who handled my order at the window, and was extremely efficient and nice. And, he was BUSY. If you are not looking for white tablecloths, and sit-down service, then this place is...absolutely perfect. You sort of need to have that constant internal yearning for finding dive bars like I do, but, again, you do you. I threw that burger on my top burgers list already, and definitely plan on trying it again soon. And, I can play some miniature golf next time. This place is awesome, and you should definitely drop in soon. I highly recommend this place overall, and DEFINITELY the burger too, and see you there...

We didn't try the food but our son indicates it's good pizza. There was a large selection of beers with favorite local, national and international brands. I loved being able to get a genuine German beer! The only hiccup for me was the very limited selection of darker beers. Guinness was about the only one. (I realize this is sorta a seasonal situation.) There wasn't table service so you trundle up to the bar, sometimes standing in line, to place your order. The bartenders were friendly but were spread pretty thin. Prices were good. This will be a repeater for us.

Between the massive amount of TVs, huge double sided bar, the super attentive staff and ease of being inside or out is just amazing. The drinks are standard pricing and on par with the rest of the city. I haven't eaten everything on their menu, but I did have the breakfast sandwich and it was great and came with a bunch of potatoes for $10. I also loved how they opened up early and had coffee available from 6-7 before you're allowed to sell beer at 7 am. It was an epic day and I can't to go back for the next playoff games!!!
