    Street tacos

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

    Burger and queso
    Ashley M.

    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

    Asian wings
    Ashley H.

    Great dive bar!! Amazing deals and will definitely be back for the all you can eat wing Wednesdays!

    For bar food, this place is a go-to. Really solid burgers, tendies, Phillies, etc.. have had yet to order something that wasn't great! Good spot to post up and watch a game, or bring a group of friends and play some pool.

    Tenders and fries
    Emma B.

    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

    Max and cheese

    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.

    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).

    Philly cheesesteak
    Brad H.

    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!

    Asked for my card back, server Shannon told me she already gave it back to me. Went to speak to another employee and suddenly "she found where she kept it". Never again.

It had great aromas of dark chocolate and roasted nuts along with a slight chocolate flavor. The malt used for this beer gave it a great, earthy flavor. 3. It's Britney B$tch, a watermelon and strawberry sour. Light flavors of both fruits with a subtle tanginess. This beer was super refreshing on a hot day. 4. Brumosa, a hazy IPA.

If you're on the north side, venture out and hang at Goldspot.

They simply Do Not care about general food safety getting a hot meal here is rather risky I will explain why. My friend was a cook here for a short while and quit on them once he realized they care nothing about serving food that is safe to eat, he saw them do sooo many things that would easily make the food contaminated and unsafe to eat and somehow that was there process of doing things. Here are a couple examples of menu items one should try to steer clear of Chicken parm sandwich- they cook off a large batch of the chicken cutlets and let them sit at room temp for a hour or two until someone orders one they refries them for a minute or so, your supposed to keep food hot once it is cooked especially chicken to leave cooked chicken at room temp for so long is extremely risky to the public's health. Meatball sandwich- they leave there meatballs on the hot line all day then they save all of the hot food items from the day and reuse them the next day without properly cooling any of the food and the cooks will leave these item sit out at room temp for about 45 mins before even putting them into the cooler. Many issues with this practice first of all hot food should be discarded after 5 hours according to the health department because after 5 hours it will start growing bacteria, to leave it on a hot line all day then save them for the next day and not even cool them down properly is Crazy risky to people's health and they do not just do this with the meatballs they do it for many of there hot dishes they are used for days on in, not properly cooled and not properly tracked for how many times it has been reheated and such me they keep them in the same pans it's flat out gross. Other issues my friend encountered there was never seeing anyone at all wash there hands at any point in time, a ancient dishwashing machine that didn't clean anything at all it didn't even get hot so half of there dishes are greasy and have food residue on them, in his short time there he saw people fired for no reason what's so ever from what he was told the owner fires people left and right and doesn't even give reasons as to why, that's why they have ads up on indeed looking for employees 24/7.

I have to add that we asked to speak to the owner, Ken. We were told he is not really a talker. To our surprise, Ken came over and was terrific! He told us the story of his dad starting at 4 am every day to begin the prep for the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches for all the Jersey trades workers and other patrons. This is a strong part of the NJ culture. Ken told us the story of how he got connected to gnomes (ask him to see the tats). Ken shared his favorite Jersey food and how he got to Colorado. Great stories that should be on the website! Ken also spoke extremely highly of the brew master. Since I am not a beer drinker, I have no recommendations. This is a fun place to visit! We drove 40 minutes to get there, and we all want to return soon. Thanks, Ken and your talented staff!

    Elevated Hospitality: A Masterclass in Event Execution at Tom's Watch Bar…read more I recently organized an event for 120 guests at Tom's Watch Bar in Denver, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the initial contract phase to the final onsite execution, the team proved they are true masters of high-stakes hospitality. The Vision & Planning Working with Joanna during the planning phase was a dream. She is a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail. She understood exactly how to translate our brand into the space, creating a custom Denver-themed digital design featuring our logo that played across every large screen. The energy it brought to the room was palpable--our Immediate Past President was so impressed she's already requested the same "wow factor" for all our future events. The Spread The catering exceeded all expectations. We opted for a diverse package that catered beautifully to everyone, including our vegetarian and vegan guests. The Savory: The mac & cheese was a crowd favorite, and the chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and moist. The loaded sliders and tater tot bar also kept the energy high throughout the evening. The Sweet: Do not miss the dessert bar. Specifically, there is a peanut butter bar with an incredible internal crunch that is absolutely addictive. The Atmosphere & Entertainment The venue layout is genius. We had a mix of indoor seating for both small and large group discussions, plus an incredible outdoor space with stunning stadium views. We brought in a third-party karaoke vendor, and the staff--Joanna, Zach and Matt--coordinated with them so seamlessly behind the scenes that I didn't have to worry about a single technical detail. Between the karaoke, Jenga, and cornhole, there was never a dull moment. The Service What truly sets this venue apart is the personal touch. Zach and Matt are absolute stars. Knowing I was busy managing the entrance and welcoming guests, they went out of their way to check in on me personally, ensuring I had food and a drink in hand. That level of care for an event organizer is rare and deeply appreciated. If you are looking for a venue that combines a high-energy atmosphere with white-glove professional service, Tom's Watch Bar is the place. Request Joanna, Zach, and Matt--you'll be in the best hands in Denver.
