A group of 20 of us met here for lunch, and it was a smooth process, from parking to ordering! There was plenty of metered street parking, and when you enter, there are 2 counters: one for food and another for drinks. I am only giving it 4 stars because I felt like the food options were a tad limited. A few burgers, a few sandwiches, and a few salads/bowls (with a random poke bowl thrown in there?). It kind of gave me a sense of no cohesion to the menu. Nevertheless, the vibes are comfortable, and I would go back!

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!

The outdoor patio is spacious, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying Colorado's nice weather with friends or coworkers. We ordered a variety of shareable dishes, including the giant pretzel, loaded fries, fried pickles, hummus, wings, and grilled broccolini. My favorite was definitely the loaded fries--crispy, cheesy, topped with bacon and jalapeños, and packed with flavor. I'd happily order those again. The giant pretzel was great for sharing, and the hummus plate was a nice lighter option. The grilled broccolini was also surprisingly good. The only dish that didn't quite hit the mark for me was the wings. They had good flavor but were a little dry. Overall, the food was good, but nothing that really stood out as unforgettable. That said, the atmosphere is what makes this place worth visiting. It's the kind of spot I'd come back to for a sunny afternoon, drinks, and catching up with friends or coworkers. Great vibes, plenty of seating, and an easygoing environment.

I've been drinking here for 7 years now and this place still hasn't lost its magic. It's truly a…read moreunique concept housed in a gigantic building with multiple areas to drink, eat, play, and more. Bierstadt is a lager only brewery. They only have a few beers on the menu! Of course there are variations like a Michelada, house cocktails, wines, NA options, etc. The difference between producing lagers and ales is MASSIVE, and I tip my cap to everyone involved in crafting beers that have put Denver on the map. The Slow Pour Pils is one of three beers that I would consider the unofficial beer of Denver. It takes five minutes to pour, is served in a custom made glass (really cool story behind this), and has the perfect floating foam (like a cloud) sitting perfectly atop the beer. I crushed two of their Italian Pilsners yesterday. This is simply a fantastic beer. The Helles and Dunkel surely are not to be missed. But do one thing, get their Oktoberfest when it comes out (usually around mid September). It's one of the best I've ever had. There's a lot of stories inside this building. The legendary pieces of equipment, the unique brewing methods, the different spaces to hang out, etc. There's a reason Bierstadt has been tapped as the brewery "where the brewers go." To me, they can never receive a higher compliment. I'm really glad they're still kicking after celebrating their 10th anniversary. Almost a teenager!!! It's always fun visiting this place. This is a Denver must when it comes to breweries. You might not summit a 14er at this particular Bierstadt, but you'll find some of the best traditionally brewed beers in the country.

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!

It was always very packed, with a line down the stairs in the back, line for the bar, line for the bathrooms, overall, it just wasn't a very positive experience. That is not the bar's fault at all.

The drink selection is extensive with some specialty drinks like shots and cocktails. Prices are very similar to what you would expect at other bars. I'll definitely be back during the day!

Very family friendly during the day with games outside and kids running around. And a kids menu! They don't accept gratuities so prices are a little higher.

Our food was ready pretty quickly, you go up to the counter to order and pick up. I enjoyed my spread, the dips on it were so good! The carrots were slightly dried but not bad! The pretzel was super good. We weren't wild about the cheese but the pretzel was awesome. My son loved his grilled cheese, the tater tots were awesome too, but French fries are kinda soggy.

As far as I'm concerned, it didn't have a negative impact on the service from the bartenders.

I tried a sampler of their greatest hits (beers) and received six samples, each containing 5 ounces of golden liquid. That's 30 ounces, folks. (I didn't drink every drop and also had a designated driver, so no worries.) I liked the beers but didn't love them. I did enjoy the Helles-style beer the best. The pretzel was delicious and came with mustard and a delicious cheese sauce. We also tried a bratwurst that was nice but a little mild for my taste. The sauerkraut and coleslaw were both very average but the potato salad was very good. We enjoyed our time here. Good luck with parking--there are only about four spots in their lot so you will likely need to park in the neighborhood and hoof it.

There's an outdoor garden with plenty of shade. There's indoor sitting as well if you prefer. The service was excellent! The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and let us sample a few beers before we made our selection. We were really in the groove. Enjoying our carefully selected beers, exhausted and hungry, we anxiously awaited our food selection. We decided that we would share a hand tossed, oven fried pizza, ( well that's the image we had in our imaginations). I was already planning on what to drink next, since my first yummy beer was crunching my thirst and hunger at the same time. And then it happened. Our pizza arrived. Right away we could tell it was a frozen pizza, but not the new fancy kinda frozen pizza, you know the ones that are, "not too bad for a frozen pizza", pizza. This was more like, I'm in middle school and, "this is all that's left in the fridge", kinda of frozen pizza. The pizza was so bad that we didn't finish it. The salt and bad sauce ruined the taste of the beers. And my anticipated second beer evaporated into a memory

We would definitely recommend it especially to big groups or if you want to watch the game while eating. We had only one issue we experienced with our server. He was nice an welcoming, but when he brought us the takeout boxes and then the check, he seemed to be in a rush and tossed them onto the table rather than placing them down. One of the boxes actually fell off the table, and we had to catch it. Although the place was not very busy at the time, the interaction felt rushed and made one member of my family uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience, enjoyed the food and atmospher. We look forward to coming back.
