Tiny neighborhood bar/bistro serving up excellent food and cocktails. The atmosphere is casual, with lots of local regulars hanging out and catching up. The food is really good--you'll get fine-dining flavors in a bistro setting. On a recent visit, we enjoyed some short rib and polenta, excellent ricotta gnudi, and a creamy vegan mushroom soup that was the highlight of our meal. Their duck fat fries are also excellent. I plan to order the burger next time just to get more of those fries. No pics of my meals here--I'm always too busy chowing down! It gets busy, with patrons standing among the tables to enjoy some drinks when the bar stools are full. Make a reservation to be sure you've got a place to eat. Sunday nights feature fun specials, so check their social media accounts or walk by to see what's coming up (it's on a chalkboard by the door). read more

Wonderful service and an amazing creative yummy menu. Their wine and bar choices are also

Recently tried Satchels for a quick Friday night reservation. The neighborhood is actually easy to access and good for parking which I didn't expect for this area. The duck fat fries were great, definitely a fry to try! I opted for two appetizers instead of an entree with the crab gnocchi which was delicious and the perfect amount of crab and the burrata with palisade peaches. The peaches were perfectly grilled but the burrata was a little flat and left me wanting. My spouse ordered the steak and said the chimichurri sauce was actually the star over the steak. I'd consider coming again, but not in my regular returning list. The space is really interesting and small/intimate but I think you'd have a hard time getting in without a reservation. read more

I went here with a group of four for restaurant week last night. The place was packed, but we had reservations and were seated right away. Our server Elizabeth was great and very attentive. I ordered the roasted beets and Bolognese. I liked them both, but they weren't total stand outs to me. The butterscotch bundino dessert was really good. One of the others at our table ordered the duck and didn't like it and Elizabeth was quick to change it out and let her order something else which was nice. read more

Satchel's (named for the owner's son) is a real gem in a bistro-like setting on 6th Avenue in Cherry Creek area. Wonderful, but small, menu with creative dishes at reasonable prices for the quality and care the chef puts into each dish. The menu changes frequently depending on the season. Carefully curated wine and spirits list, again with reasonable prices. The staff (particularly JP) are friendly and caring and make your dining experience something special. And lastly, but not least, Andrew, the owner/host who seems to know each and very guest, is especially warm, greeting diners with a hug and smile, and generous with his time and efforts to make sure each guest is having a lovely time. Always crowded but somehow even guests without reservations seem to be accommodated. My wife and I go there frequently and have never been disappointed. This is truly a special place with lively atmosphere. The roasted oysters on the outdoor grill are not to be missed, lovingly roasted by Andrew himself. read more

This place is awesome. Great food, well curated wine list. I'm not vegetarian, but appreciated the options. We loved a everything. Start with the Burrata and agnolotti. If you don't, you are doing it wrong. read more

Satchel's is a best kept secret! This fun, quaint restaurant is one of the best parts of Cherry Creek with a fun menu and cocktails. Can't wait to stop back in! read more

Food, drinks, atmosphere. All outstanding. Our server was very attentive and helpful with recommendations for those of us who couldn't decide. The cherry chocolate ice cream was divine. read more

Great menu, pro bar staff, good wine list, experienced servers. Satchels is consistently on point.

The agreed upon review from everyone in our group was "Meh. Nothing special". Service was slow, but they were packed and the waitresses said they were understaffed. Food was overpriced. $23 for a burger $24 for a standard Cobb salad with half a breaded chicken breast on top. Meh read more

I must be really out of date because the other day I heard on the radio what makes a restaurant "gourmet" or "upscale" is that it only offers very few items on its menu, let me just say I really hate that! Must be my Chinese root, I'm used to perusing huge menus with pages after pages of selections so nobody in the restaurant is eating the same thing! With that said, Satchel's menu is very limited. Look over, at least one person at each table is having a burger (*eyes rolling*). But the place sure is cute with its tiny wooden tables and red, patio-like chairs, brick walls all around, and, you guessed it, very dimly lit. Bread came first and I appreciated that. My boyfriend didn't care for the extra layer of dusted flour but I liked it, especially like seeing the flour disappear as soon as you dip the bread slice in olive oil, lol. He had the Patron Burger with duck fat fries and I ordered Salmon on slaws. They split everything in half for us so we could share (thanks for our friendly waitress). I asked for the salmon medium-rare and it was exactly that! The burger was greasy but the portion of the patty was very generous. We enjoyed the fries very much as well. read more

This is just about the friendliest place I've been too... many hellos & howareyou's from my fellow patrons. I immediately felt at home. Hard to spot on East 6th ... but so worth it... just about the best burger ever ... see my pic ...stop in next time and have a seat read more

Let's start with the positives about Satchel's on 6th, the ambiance and vibe is a 5/5 this place is intimate and you walk in and just fell all cozy. The cocktails 5/5 seriously so good! I personally had a gin gimlet and it was amazing, but their list of seasonal cocktails which others at the table got were all outstanding. Now to the food. The appetizers were the better part of the meal. They were unique and but there were inconsistencies with salt all night. I would come back for the duck fat fries, but fries aren't all that unique. We had a ton of apps including; the beef tortelli which were scrumptious little nuggets of perfectly balanced sauce, the scallops were a smidge over salted and made you do that little squinty thing you do when someone had a bit of a heavy hand with the salt shaker. The sweet potato nachos, again unique were the crowd favorite for the apps. They were perfectly sauced and seasoned and the highlight for the table. Then we more to mains and honestly the mains were just disappointing. Most of the ones we had were under seasoned and needed some sort of brightness to balance them out. The burger was just kind of meh, the pasta dish was in dire need of salt and citrus, and the fish was again under seasoned. I would come to Satchels on 6th to start my night with a cocktail and bite but maybe get an entree somewhere else. read more

This was very close to 5 stars. I'll explain: 1. Appetizers and mains were absolutely 5 stars. We shared an order of the zucchini blossoms- they weee crispy perfection outside and soft and delicate inside. The cheese was a welcome surprise. Very decadent! The husband had the yellowfin crudo- WOW. Fresh, delicate, wonderful texture and a hint of spice with the jalapeño. A must order! Shrimp ceviche had a great flavor- would have preferred chunks of shrimp as opposed to what seemed like shredded. Still was very good! Our gusts ordered the burata and it was phenomenal. Cannot go wrong with that! 2. Mains- I ordered the house pasta- spaghetti with an excellent marinara, pesto and burata. It was simple but absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh. I wanted more! Husband had the steak with carrots- it was cooked to perfection- mouth watering. The guests had the Bar Burger- we didn't taste this but looked INCREDIBLE. 3. Dessert- olive oil cake was lousy and flavorful. I've had olive oil cake before, while this wasn't the best, it was still very nice. The beignets are to die for. Sinful in every way. Must order. 4. The reason for 4 stars- the service and server were both nice, however, our waiter forgot two drinks we ordered and never followed back up with us. We needed the Pinot Noir with the steak and he finished it before the waiter came by. I ordered a Disarrono as a digestive and he said he would check if they had it and never came back. This was a bit disappointing. However- over all- it's a beautiful, quaint neighborhood restaurant. We will be back. All in all, it was a fabulous night. read more

Amazing vibe, awesome food and drinks. Lovely staff and owners. What's not to love about this spot

Great drinks, tasty apps and great vibe! Will def be back here again! Very soon! All the pastas and steaks very tasty too! read more

I've probably been back at least a dozen times since my first review of the new location. Every visit makes me want to go back the very next day! They have a new-ish chef (new to Satchel's but obviously not new to a kitchen) who has some amazingly creative dishes. The Fried green tomato and pork belly appetizer is a must to start with. As far as entree's go - they are all really great and the menu changes with season/month. This is why I have to go back so often!!! I don't know much about wine, I really just know what I like and that's good enough for me. But, if you want more information, they are more than happy to direct you to a glass that will compliment your meal. There are many choices that are well priced too. You really can't miss with this great little restaurant. It's impressive as a date night, and friendly enough as a neighborhood hang out. Andrew is ALWAYS there, working his butt off and welcoming guests. He has a big family that has been put to work bussing. This is truly a FAMILY restaurant! :) read more

Seven stars. No kidding! Fantastic food, a small neighborhood vibe, excellent service. The owner is here almost every night. The fried chicken is to die for. A great intimate bar. read more

I live in this neighborhood and love this place! There is a vibe here that no other restaurant in the city has. Some of the best people in the business are here at Satchel's. Love this place and can't say enough good things about it. Sometimes just a cocktail, sometimes dinner, sometimes just coffee late night. Andrew runs an amazing place. Always meet somebody cool at the bar, it's really never a hassle when you have to wait for a table. This place is a magnet for eclectic, fun and interesting peeps. Viva satchels! read more

I was excited to try this place and ending up leaving an hour later pretty upset. First off I really like small restaurants but be ready to make friends with the tables next to you because it is packed very tight and gets very loud. We ordered drinks and the duck fries (the fries were very underwhelming, mostly just small burnt pieces) and told our waiter we would order entrees after. We did not see our waiter for a solid 20 minutes and when we finally did and asked to put our dinner order in, he said the kitchen was closed.. lol first off, if the kitchen closes at a certain time it would be nice to know that when we are sat or given some sort of notice of a last call. Second, we tried ordering at 8:54 when the website states the kitchen closes at 9:30. So it definitely sucks leaving a restaurant without even being able to order / try their dinner and going home hungry. read more

The house salad was actually one of my favorite dishes . I highly recommend it. I ordered the Pork Shorty for my main dish. The pork fell off the bone and vegetables had enough acid to balance the dish (the potatoes were underdone though but i didn't mind it that much). My partner ordered the cod (?) and it was cooked perfectly. The cocktails were delicious and refreshing. The ambiance was perfect-- it was very cozy, the music wasn't too loud, and perfect lighting. The service was great. We sat at the bar. They had one bartender making drinks for the whole restaurant while attending to about a dozen guests at the bar and it still was good. read more

Best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Period. End of story. Don't even try and argue about it. Oh...and the Duck Fat fries This place never disappoints read more

This used to be a go-to restaurant with its small, friendly, community vibe. And the record player is a great touch! The food recently (post-pandemic) is not as good as it used to be. And the new $25 price for the 'new and revised' bar burger is not worth the price. I wouldn't recommend Satchel's anymore, which is unfortunate. read more

Aesthetics/atmosphere: 5 Food: 4.5 Drink menu: 3 Price: 3 Service: 2 I would give this place a 3.5 if I could but feeling generous so 4 it is. First of all it's super cute and pretty cozy. Unfortunately I feel like the food is not good enough to justify the price point. Drinks are pretty reasonably priced, however. Where they really missed the mark for me was service. Was there around 8 on a Wednesday night and the whole time I felt that both wait staff we interacted with were rushing us. Don't worry, we don't intend on staying any longer than you're open. The service seemed not only rushed but also was not warm and welcoming like you'd hope it would be. They did the absolute bare minimum when it came to customer interaction. Overall, I would go back here but would not go out of my way to do so. read more

Community seating. Small eatery. Very warm and inviting. Service was ok 2/5 They aren't the most efficient for refills. There's no coffee pot or iced tea pitcher. In fact I found some unidentified floaty in my drink. Odd. Needless to say, I stopped drinking. Food: 5/5 tasty! Sunday brunch was awesome. Loved billy the kid ( menu said came with avocado- didn't see any) loved Sunday burger ( added mushrooms!!) best house potatoes!! Overall I would come back and try the regular menu. It wasn't busy when we got here for brunch but the lunch crowd rolled in when we got out check. read more

We called and no one answered the phone. We walked over to place a carryout order and for the 2nd time they refused our carryout order. They should put on their website they don't accept carryout orders or answer their phone. The pandemic is still real and not all of us want to go back to dining in a restaurant. If we go back again shame on us. Sorry Satchels but you lost a previously loyal customer. read more

Dinner date with friends for our first visit to Satchel's on 6th. We were seated in a nice booth in the corner but it was still quite noisy. The decor is nice - bar in the center, nice lighting and a projector playing an old movie on the wall which was cool. The food was good. It wasn't something that I walked away from "wowed" but I enjoyed my meal. We started with mussels, bacon wrapped dates and duck fat fries. All were very good. They bring bread to the table too which was excellent. I was able to try some of both the beet salad and the wedge salad - both very tasty. For our meals, my guy and I got the Monkfish and the Duck Confit. Both enjoyable - and we cleaned our plates, but it simply wasn't FANTASTIC. It was good. My friends shared the Fried Chicken plate which they seemed to like. All in all, we paid a lot of money - yes, we ordered a lot of food - but compared to other places we've been where we could expect to pay the same, there are other places I'd choose to go first. Don't get me wrong, though - I would happily go back to Satchel's and give it another shot...maybe in a different season if their menu rotates seasonally. read more

A wonderful small restaurant with warm and friendly staff, ok it was New Year's Eve how could you be in a bad mood it was lightly snowing which made the ambience even better! We had a reservation at 8, were greeted by a friendly gentleman who said he would have a table shortly, we were asked to sit at the bar and were given some champagne since we had to wait way to make the wait better! The place was packed we were in no hurry so we settled in, the bartender was very friendly and told us about the different drinks he was making. They also brought out some wonderful french fries while we waited. We were seated in the front window table again great ambience with the snow. We ordered the winter salad & the short rib as appetizers along with another order of Duck fries!! So good!!! For dinner, we had the Arctic Char, Lobster Spaghetti (on the advise of our wonderful waitress) and the Buthchers Steak. Everything was fabulous!!!! Apparently the menu changes monthly? Can't wait to go again! read more

Hands down the best restaurant I've been too Food is amazing Service was one of a kind Will definitely come visit again :) read more

Satchel's has always been great and we should come more frequently that's for sure. The last visit was the last week before yet another shutdown mandate. We had a fabulous meal and the servers were so young yet so professional, wise and seemed to be very well versed in fine dining and the experience of it all. They play vinyl and it's a great sound that you realized you don't hear anymore (the crackling of a record player). You can pick out your own album and ask it to be played as well. The only thing I'd say is we requested a slow dinner (place was empty so wasn't being rude to any waiting customers). Our server said he'd put our order in and would just bring it out with time. Our dinners showed up the minute we were done with appetizers which is what we didn't want to happen but oh well. Can't wait to visit them again once small business are allowed to make a living again. read more

Oh my Goodness this is truly the sweetest little gem! My girls and I went for dinner and had a very magical experience, the food is to die for. From the beautiful owner Andrew to his great staff.. Let's start with, The Heirloom tomato appetizer, so delicious, heirloom tomatoes topped with olive oil, basil and caramelized pecans, on the side was Delicious homemade cherry preserves, toasted baguette and a delicious in house made mozzarella cheese! Dinner Carbonara yummy great pasta dish, and of course let's not forget dessert, chocolate cake that set in two shots of espresso, pieces of dark chocolate and a dollop of ice cream..that was a nice way to end our evening.. This is a must go to, you will not regret it.. We will now make this our go to! Thank you Andrew, JP, Erin and the rest of the staff for making our night special! read more

This place used to be a fun local neighborhood place to go for a drink but post pandemic they require reservations at their bar. On any given night when you go in there are at least 4 empty seats at the bar but they are reserved. No longer a fun neighborhood bar you can drop in on. read more

I think I fell in love the moment I walked in....Satchel's on 6th is EXACTLY what I've been looking for since I moved to Denver 8 months ago: a bonafide, charming, neighborhood gem with expertly concocted handcrafted cocktails, a limited but thoughtful and truly pleasing seasonal menu, and a chill vibe without the wall-to-wall people that seem to be everywhere else. Let's start with the cocktails. Mezcal is my current liquor of choice, and I was delighted to see two cocktails on their menu that feature Mezcal. I was having trouble making up my mind between Small Change and Street Legal. Fortunately, my bartender Erin, who was as delightful as the cocktail menu, came to my aid and whipped up a special summer cocktail that features, you guessed it, Mezcal. I don't know what it was called but it was light and refreshing but with the smoky element that I've come to love from Mezcal. After that, I moved on to Small Change, which has a little bit of a kick....LOVED it and had two. I wasn't crazy hungry so I opted for the Scallop Crudo which was served with smoked peach puree, pecans, creamy parmesan and other goodies. The balance of flavors and textures in this dish was remarkable and was an amazing and completely satisfying and enjoyable sensory experience. I also ordered the Duck Fat Fries which were some of the best I've had. Not all Duck Fat Fries are created equal, but these were fried up perfectly with just the right amount of crisp, and lightly topped with shredded parmesan. Served up with some solid ketchup, SOLID! The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant. The light level is just right and on my visit, they were playing a mixture of chill/electronic tunes, both American and European. I felt like I was in a European cafe, and the atmosphere definitely prompts one to linger. I am so happy I finally checked these guys out and that they're in my neighborhood. It's a perfect spot for an intimate date night, small groups, or for a solo outing as was my case. Needless to say, I recommend Satchel's HIGHLY and will be back often. read more

I love this place so much. Great cocktails, food and atmosphere and they are always switching up their menu. I am sad they are closed currently but hoping they re-open soon. A total neighborhood gem in Cap Hill! read more

What a wonderful find. Visit this place every visit to Denver. Small gastro pub with great vibe. Service staff is on top of it and friendly. Food is 5 star and the deserts are over the top. Has a New Orleans flavor but they go much further in menu offerings. If you are a true foodie give it a try. read more

This place was amazing, and I highly recommend it. It's got a cute little romantic atmosphere with a great wine selection. We got corn fritters to start with and they melted in my mouth. I had the hanger steak, and my husband had the burger. By far, our best meal on our trip to Denver. Definitely worth stopping by for a great wholesome meal! read more

WoW‼ I keep wanting to like this place because I remember it being really good before Covid but they obviously made some changes and for the worse. Management is unaware and food is grossly over-seasoned. Overpriced for the portions, DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY read more

It was love at first cocktail. We lived just down the street for about a year and a half and never made it in. What did bring us in was the Winter Warmer Drink Passport. And Satchel's, let's just say we will most definitely be back. My husband and I dropped in one stormy and frigid Friday night in Denver. With snow on the ground, most people were tucked inside and as such, we walked in and were rewarded with seats at the bar. We were told that usually, we would want to make a reservation. And now we will! With a small and unassuming entrance on 6th that requires ducking under a curtain, I was charmed by the exposed brick, dainty chandelier, and fireplace mantle decor. The restaurant is extremely small and has few tables, but we had a warm seat at the bar and we were able to chat with Emily, a charming and knowledgeable bartender. I ordered the Queen Jazz-a lemon and vodka cocktail and I immediately wanted to drink this and only this in the future. My husband ordered a Manhattan, and Emily prepared it with a flame and a flourish. We also got the Provisions plate--meat, cheese, cherries, and some soft bread with olive oil. Overall, everything was well prepared and presented and tasted delicious. I am looking forward to trying their brunch soon and sampling more of the menu options--hopefully I can have another Queen Jazz when I stop by! read more

Always the best service food and drinks at this charming neighborhood place! Will always come back. Really like the seasonal menus.

What a wonderful, wonderful experience at Satchel's on 6th. Met some friends and colleagues there last week and was blown away by the food, décor and stellar service. Andrew, the owner, was behind the bar answering all our questions about the myriad of wines available. Normally I'm a red-only girl, but sometimes in the summer I'll seek out something cold, crisp and of the pinot grigio variety. Andrew recommended a great glass that I thoroughly enjoyed - a few times! Apps started with the fried green tomato with pork belly - SO glad I chose it. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on. Two in our group got the grilled squid salad, which was exceptionally tasty too. The only thing I didn't sample was the tempura crab, but word around the table was it was delicious. My entrée was pork loin with white wine poached apricots, grilled leeks, English pea puree and herbed spaetzle with pork belly. I think I found what heaven tastes like. I also sampled the duck, lobster tagliatelle and the flat iron steak. I think I was the clear winner, but the duck and lobster were not far behind. Topped it all off with some wonderful coffee and desserts - a strawberry shortcake and a chocolate concoction that was the perfect sweet ending to a great night. Satchel's has such a local neighborhood feel - with a great owner and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'll be back guys! read more
