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.

Loved listening to the bands, and exploring the huge space. They have olllllld school pinball game, giant jenga, gigantic cornhole, trash can sized beer pong, and ladder ball (normal size). 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!

Came here for a themed night out recently on a Friday night. I haven't been to the space in a few…read moreyears and it seems smaller on the inside than I remembered. 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.

I'd follow him to any bar, any day. Patrick has this rare ability to read the room and meet you exactly where you're at. Celebrating a graduation? He makes it feel unforgettable. Birthday? Expect top-tier energy and drinks. Rough day? Somehow he turns it around without you even realizing it. The drinks are always on point, the service is effortless, and the vibe he creates is unmatched. He doesn't just bartend -- he takes care of people. Every single time. Do yourself a favor: sit at a bar Patrick is tending - You'll get it immediately.

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.

A great option for young families on a warmer day…read more I stopped by Edgewater Beer Garden with some friends with the intention of enjoying a seemingly warmer Denver winter day, and we had no trouble finding seating on the patio. 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.

I loved the whole ambiance - ground was all astro-turf and you're eating outdoors but the ceiling is all canopies - but you can see a sliding roof option when needed.

Plates also covered with debris - but nothing a quick brush off can't help. Otherwise great menu selections and the food was all delicious - I'd still come again for sure!

Birria beef, Chihuahua cheese, jalapenos, Spanish onions, cilantro, lime, garlic & oil, served w/ side of consomme. It was quite heavy & salty ... very filling for sure. The original crust was very good - crispy outisde, chewy inside. NADENE - $18 (small) Cupped pepperoni, hot honey, ricotta, basil, mozzarella, & marinara. Also original crust. Very good!
