I stopped by Rocky Top Tavern while looking for a bar in the Highlands area that has pool. Well, the bar is located in Highlands and, what do you know, they have 2 pool tables! Upon walking in, we were greeted by some very friendly regulars of the bar and ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the night. Fun times! The bar itself is a nicer dive bar if that makes sense. It definitely has dive bar vibes but the floors aren't sticky. They have a decent selection of beer, liquor and it seems like the food there is decent for bar food. The men's bathroom has one stall and one urinal so when it's busy, that can be a bit not ideal. read more

Bartender with blonde hair and glasses kicked us out. walked in a group of three and sat down to order some burgers. Walked up to the bar to order and she rudely asked for my friend's and I's IDs. We ordered and sat back down at my table, when I ordered another burger for my girlfriend a few minutes later, she very rudely told me she needed to see her ID, I explained to her my girlfriend isn't drinking and is well of age (28 years old) No one checked our IDs at the door so there was no reason for us to believe we weren't allowed in the establishment without her ID. Asked her to cancel the entire order because we clearly aren't allowed in and she charged my card anyway walked back to our table and said we had to leave immediately. I tried to diffuse the situation and she accused me of being rude to her from the beginning. Definition of literally doing too much. (by the way it's 21+ after 8pm we were there at 8:15) I guess I should have known. read more

Stopped in to have a beer with a friend. It was quite packed, but everybody was very chill. People said hello to you, even though they didn't know you which is very cool we were greeted by the bartender immediately asked what we would like we ordered a couple of beers. The inside is decorated with surfboards or boogie boards, which I thought was very cool because one of the boards hanging from the wall. There's a menu on there for shots, which is very very cool. Although I did not look at the menu all the food that came out looked amazing and smelled very good. I will have to go back and have lunch some day so if you're in the area stop by and check it out see what you think. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time...... read more

Great food good prices and atmosphere. Pool tables and games for fun. I enjoyed the vibe all around.

With apologies to the Osborne Brothers ‧ "Rocky Top" - 1968 Wish that I was drinking at Rocky Top Up by Regis U Ain't no pretensions at Rocky Top Ain't nobody to boo Once I had a burger at Rocky Top A big ole patty of beef Cheese and bacon and avocado And LTO beneath Rocky Top, you'll always be A nice dive bar to me Good ol' Rocky Top Rocky Top, OMFG Rocky Top, OFMG ---------- I am not exaggerating about how much I enjoy the burgers here. The Baja burger is probably my favorite, but the Howler burger is quite the experience as well. And nothing is quite as old-school as the Wild West burger. And if none of these strike your fancy, try one of the others, or just build your own. OK, burgers aren't your thing?Then the mac & cheese here is no slouch. Heck, they've even got Birria tacos these days. I don't think I've ever made it here for brunch or had a salad at Rocky Top, but the Buffalo chicken sandwich and the French dip sandwich are mighty fine. I like to get my french fries or my tater tots a little extra well done, and I am seldom disappointed. And yeah, you've got your normal cast of characters for domestic drafts, a modest but decent selection of craft beers, and a whole bunch of bottles and cans to be had. And if you don't like that, well then have them whip you up a fancy ... OK, semi-fancy, cocktail. read more

I love coming here. Great happy hour. No frills and good food. Each day has drink and food specials and decent prices. read more

Yes, there are fries here -- and they come with all the burgers and sandwiches... As much as I love fries though I couldn't resist all the other fried treats. We got the fried mac & cheese bites, as well as tater tots. Both were fantastic, which duh is great for a local bar. The drinks were strong. The staff was excellent, attentive and fucking funny. We were also there on a trivia night, and got to see the whole place vibing with the local community. This is a great local bar. If you're there for sports, though... While the staff will do their best to get you whatever game you want, the TVs are not big screens. Visit anyway, because the food and drinks and people are wonderful. read more

I like the wings, tater tots, hamburgers and their sandwiches Always a good selection of tap beers and tasty shots. Lots of TVs, great place to watch games. Pool tables and outdoor seating (dogs welcome!) read more

Stopped by while driving through Denver and it was very much a dive bar. The queso came out super cold and the burger and fries were alright. It was very loud which I would expect from a dive bar, but it was still a bit much while eating. It was our servers first day and she was sweet, but everyone else was extremely unfriendly? Not sure if it's because we were "out of towners" but I got the vibe everyone there was locals and they didn't appreciate us being there read more

The vibe is dive bar but that's why we go. Lots of TVs and they always have every game on! Service is always good- average not anything crazy and they don't try to upsell you. We usually come for the wings but I tried the cauliflower wings and chicken tenders this time. I wouldn't get them again. Tenders were like the frozen ones I make at home, cauliflower wings were breaded wayyy too thick. The sauces (blue cheese and buffalo) were read more

My fiancé absolutely fell in love with the atmosphere of the place. Very chill and happy vibes all around. Pretty tasty food for a pretty good price! The Mac and cheese was like eating a fancier pasta dish. I was surprised! My burger looked like those ultra cheesy gooey burgers you'd see in ASMR videos that makes you want to drop everything to grab one. I'd have to say it was a bit more dry than I would have liked tho. Not bad still. The green beans were fun! Never had them fried before but it was a good appetizer. Definitely want to try out their brunch food. read more

Listen. I can't say enough kind words about this place. We love every time we go there. If you are blessed with Will or Ben being your bartender, then kiss the sky and go buy a lottery ticket after your drinks. The breakfast burrito is amazing (get it smothered), whatever Ben does to the Bloody Mary mix is illegal and awesome, and then go play pool afterwards. Combo of a dive bar, but good food, regulars, and a college bar. And games. The Lone Wolf IPA is off the hook. Big fan. Definitely recommend and see you there (actually that is my tagline, but I live down the street, so I might see you there). read more

Wings are great and a cool little dive bar in a cool little location. Wish I lived over by there or I'd go more often.

This was a rad spot that we were trying to find to bring our dog too, definitely the place to check out for a patio and the food was amazing! Totally stoked to find this and was super happy with the Philly Cheesesteak. The Hummus and veggies with the pita bread was amazing too. Come check it out and have a beer! read more

Drove all the way from Aurora to do all you can eat wings but they didn't want to serve us because apparently after 10:00 they don't do it. But on their website it clearly doesn't say anything about that. Terrible service would not recommend this place! read more

Owners were rude, drunk and belligerent. Tried to kick me out after my friend didn't know a rule. Then his wife tried to wait our table instead (which violates FLSA regulations, and mind you she was still drunk) and then had the audacity to criticized the tip I had left! First, I typically leave it on the table, and second I didn't know I had to give it to the owners! The owner then also contradicted himself when we were trying to pay for the tab, by still trying to kick us out. Don't like spending your money? Then don't come here, if you have some sort of decency, or just want to have a good night without getting harassed by man going through a mid-life crisis. read more

Love ROCKY TOP! We were there twice over the weekend and it was super busy each time, but Ben the bartender was an absolute joy! Smile on his face the entire time he was making drinks, taking food orders, delivering food orders and talking to customers. We had a big group and everyone ordered something different and we all LOVED the food. It is for sure a place to hit up if you are in the area, want some good food and fun! read more

I love this spot. It's such a chill bar and I always have a great time coming here. Their food is awesome bar food. You can't go wrong with the wings, fried Mac and cheese bites, pretzel and I recently got the wedge salad, which was great. Cal and Kyle are awesome and always provide exceptional service. They also have a touch tunes jukebox so you can play your own music if you'd like! read more

The food here is SO GOOD! I just recently moved into the area and was told to check this place out asap and I'm so glad I did. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. This neighborhood dive bar honestly has some of the best wings I've ever tried They also do a new burger of the week that is always mouth watering. One of the best things about this place is that they have daily specials every day of the week. And they are actually good deals on some of their best menu items. Make sure you try a quesadilla, yummmm! Also the Asian sprinkle wings are my absolute favorite! read more

I ordered sweet potato tater tots and was given cajun fries and was still charged for the extra price of sweet potato tater tots.

We moved into the neighborhood recently and Rocky Top has become our favorite restaurant/bar in the area! The food is amazing and staff is always friendly and helpful. Great food great vibes great people!! Happy to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

I loved everything on the menu, except the fried pickles, which would be 100x better if they were chips instead of spears. But the food and drinks are great, the service is excellent, and the vibes are just immaculate. It's a dive bar so you need to be in that kind of mood but it was my favorite dive I visited in Denver. read more

Wings were fantastic but the FRYS were not so good. Waitress was nice gave good service. Prices were cheap to feed 4 had beers and shots for 120 read more

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat before going to a Sipping n Painting party. This is definitely a sports bar. Pretty small inside and out. Either sit at the bar or a high top table. Two pool tables, multiple TVs. Looks like they have nightly drink specials. The menu has more to offer than similar bars. I had a turkey, avocado club on Texas toast with tots on the side that was actually really good and under $10. We started with an order of fried pickles and macaroni bites, also pretty good. One of my friends had the burrito, which was good sized and she said was very good. If you're into divey, local bars, you'll like this place. Very limited street parking. No lot, no meters. read more

Great service, great people, great prices. If you're a local you already know. I was not a neighborhood local, and they treated me great anyways. I happen to not have cash or card with me, it was 9 pm and bartender arranged to accept alternative e payment with a patrons help, easy, peazy and discreet. The wraps are great grub for $9 to $11 with classy sides. Unusual quality for the price and dive bar type place. They do quite well with the local crowd and welcome everyone!! read more

Shannon was an absolute gem! Came into a packed bar on a Wednesday night to get all you can eat wings and she made me experience incredible! Very attentive and sweet. Wings were delicious, drinks were even better! Thank you Shannon will definitely be back read more

Love this place!!! Ben, will and stan gotchu covered!! Great food great peoples and a couple pool tables in the back Also its a good spot to watch the game and always has a dope brunch deal on Sundays!! Just wish they were open around lunch during more weekdays read more

Rocky Top Tavern is now #1 in my power rankings for favorite bar in Denver. The food quality is amazing. The drink selection is astounding. However, The best thing about this bar is the prices, their specials, and the vibe. Denver, as a whole, has recently gone off the rails with high prices at its bars. But Rocky Top Tavern remains committed to the element of being a community bar and there is a reason we drive 20 minutes to get there. read more

Super weird occurrence. Came in with a group of 10 on their all you can eat wing night. Understandable it would be busy and a bit hectic. We were standing along a railing and just making the most of our space. 8 out of ten of us were served by a server. Two of us were singled out and server wouldn't make eye contact with us or take our order. Server ended up coming over to our group and getting in one girls face and telling her we shouldn't have ordered if we were planning on moving. Stayed in the same place the whole night so weird comment. Anyways, two of us barely got served the entire night and had to beg for drinks / refills on drinks. Ended up going to the bar, but the server came over and told the bartender not to serve us. Super hostile environment. Wings were pretty good though. read more

I like this place. Not only because it's right down the road, but also because of the specials they have. I've only been here once, and I ordered the $1 tacos (they were good for a buck), but I saw other specials on different days that I really want to try - like a $3 NORMAL sized burger?!? Definitely want to check that out. Anyway I also had an order of the chicken and waffle sliders, and they were good but not great. It's basically a couple pieces of chicken (probably frozen) stuck between two Eggo mini waffles. It was worth trying though, just not what I expected when it comes to chicken and waffles. The beer choices were decent and the staff was friendly. I like this place. read more

Looking for a small spot with great food and drinks to catch a game? You've found the place. Plenty of screens. Plenty of seating arrangements. You can bring your doggo. The Baja burger is amazing. The chicken wings are so good. And plenty of drink options. When we arrived only the bartender was there to both take orders and get them out and he somehow did them both in a way where you didn't feel like service lacked. Beer is always flowing, but try the liquid marijuana shots. They are the type that taste good, so you know they'll mess you up later. Parking is on street, but that was no problem for me. read more

I have not been here since it was The Hilltop. Nice trasformation and remodel. We went for brunch and the food I had was good. I had the BLAT sandwich a BLT with avacado. Very tasty. Side of tots, too many tots but better then too little. He had the huevos dos tatchos, egg and tot casserole. He liked it. They have bottomless mimosas too. Street parking but plenty of spaces. read more

Cool old place with a patio and old school inside (including an old stale smoke smell from many years ago). Many selections of weird shots for the college kids and bar food which looked pretty good if you're into that. Thing is, the rude bartender! Geez! She had a bad attitude to women, ignores them really.....if you're male you're in luck though and will chat you up while while ignoring the females standing there waiting. She also acted very annoyed that I even ordered a drink then used her fingers to literally touch everything in my drink (vs the other bartender who used a skewer to pick up items that goes into drinks). Insanely long fake nails all over my contents of my glass.....Isn't this a health code violation? So gross! read more
