Dropped in to Swanky's before a show because Hayters has decided to no longer open their downstairs, air conditioned bar and are forcing everyone upstairs to their hot, rooftop bar. We are so glad we ended up at Swanky's! The wings are fantastic! They were recommended by our server and were an excellent choice. They even have crack sauce, here! I haven't seen that on a menu since the old Roo Bar. Their specialty is boozy slushies. They are great! I had one with Watermelon Red Bull in it and it was clutch. This will definitely be our go-to spot before shows at The Summit. read more

came for a Packer game and Savannah was our server. she was SO amazing. the bar was packed but i never had to wait for a drink. the second my drink was empty she was there! she was so sweet, so attentive, and would make it seem like she wasn't slammed. if the owner is reading this she definitely deserves a raise! we will be back for the next Packer game because of her!! (only downside is she's a Vikings fan) read more

Met a friend for his pre birthday celebration drinks at Swanky's Vittles & Libations. Glad we stayed for a bite to eat, they delivered on flavor and comfort food cravings. The Rajun Cajun burger was flavorful and cooked perfectly, with a nice medium amount of heat, could have been a little spicier for us. The wings were a standout--crispy, juicy, and with garlic Parmesan and buffalo sauces, giving the best of both worlds. The cheese curds, a little squeak and lightly battered. Everything came out fresh and satisfying, making it an easy spot to recommend for a laid-back vibe with great food. Service was great as well as we were in a bit of a rush towards the end to make it to the Avs game. read more

They try to charge people double when drinking coming from the game. Beware. My bill was 28.01 and she tried to charge me over 50$ when I confronted her she said I'm sorry. I mixed up the bills. Mind you It was only like 3 tables with people. Seems like it a side hustle for them read more

I've been around the LoDo area hundreds of times and been to quite a few bars in the area. It's the area you go typically when you're looking for a wild night out but Swanky's does not give that vibe. It seemed more like a chill, sports bar if that is what you are looking for. I decided to take 2 stars off because I thought it was quite ridiculous that I was charged $20, $10 each for chicken tenders and cheese curds, and got 3 tenders and a small handful of curds. The tequila slushie didn't have much a flavor either. It just tasted like frozen tequila. My party did not feel welcomed there and it seemed like they were trying to rush us to leave. 1 star was taken for that since it was a little closer to closing time. read more

This is a gimmicky place and their gimmick is slushy everclear drinks. The appetizers are from Sam's club or Costco. When we went the waitress was super grouchy and appeared to be that way for all tables. Can't imagine this place will last more than a year or two. read more

Cold beer and tater tots hit the spot. Decent selection of food and waitress kept it moving for pretty full house. Super fun dirty bingo the night we went. read more

Swanky's Vittles and Libations - Bingo night - Sports Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

As a Packer fan in Denver, Swanky's is one of those bars on rotation to watch games. It's hard to even say how I rate Swanky's because of so many pros/cons back-and-forth. It's a smaller bar so it fills up fast for many Packer games. Sometimes, though, this 2021 season where they had the best record in the NFL, it actually wasn't fully packed for each of the times I went. I wonder why? Well, as for me, I don't love the food options they have. It's very basic, boring bar food, which I just think they could do a little better on it. I realized they may not have a big kitchen but still, there are always ways to update the menu and make improvements. The DJ sometimes gets too DJ-happy and is playing, well blasting, the music when I want to hear what they are saying on TV with the football game. Like chill dude, we are here for the game not for the DJ. I really haven't touched all those slushies, because I just think they're probably going to be ridiculously loaded with gobs of sugar and I don't need that in my life or in my head the next day. I'll admit at least that I haven't tried to really say how they taste. Maybe one day I'll ask if I can sample one that doesn't seem too gross (to me personally). But, for those that like these types of drinks, this is the perfect bar for you as they have so, so many slushie options! The staff is usually pretty cool, at least the times I've gone they've been hardworking and attentive. With that said, a pet peeve and something I see in Denver A LOT is a wrong bill. I don't know what it is about this city, but you all need to check and keep and check your bills again, don't leave the receipt on the tables! I've caught so much. And let's get this straight, it should not be wrong in the first place by the establishment or staff - they are responsible for providing correct bills. The customer is not responsible. The last time I went the game-day specials were charged incorrectly and I paid an extra 10 dollars. I only counted the number of drinks and didn't realize until the next day looking at the receipt, the # of drinks was correct but price per drink wasn't. I had to go back to that area so brought it with me to stop back in and ask about it and hope to get it fixed. My same server was there but she wasn't sure what to do, another server chimed in and told me to talk to someone behind the bar. The first thing this guy had the nerve to tell me was to blame ME and say why didn't I see this the day of (mind you this was only a couple of days after). I barely got to start answering him and another guy came over to help, he turned around and was doing something and turned back around to hand me the $10 cash, which is a MUCH better way of handling the situation than foolish guy #1. I don't know Swanky's is just ok. read more

Whether you're a Wisconsin sports fan or just trying to catch a game, Swanky's is the place to be. I went on college football gameday and the place was pretty empty until the Wisconsin game then it was FULL in seconds. A lot of fun frozen cocktails to choose from and a decent beer selection. The "deals" aren't great so if you're looking for some cheap beer/drinks, head someone else. They have some crazy food challenges if you're into that as well. read more

Best dive Bar in Lodo!!! Tai and Savannah and the entire staff are amazing. Always there to help. Great food, vibes what more do you want bro?!! Go team you guys ROCK!!!! read more

My review is based solely on coming in to drink, no food. I've always loved coming in here to get one of their slushie drinks! The people working there are as always friendly and great to BS with. Drinks are priced right, and they have some good specials, including the "Happy Meals", which are a drink and a shot. Many TVs, too, if you're looking for somewhere to watch a game, unless you hate Wisconsin teams lol. read more

As a person from Wisconsin, I LOVEEEE this place!! Amazing cheese curds and I love the selection for alcoholic slushies. Burger was good, I just wish it wasn't well done, but they didn't ask, so maybe they all come that way. Great deals pretty much every day of the week. The main reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it took a long time for our food to come out and we just got burgers, fries, and cheese curds. Regardless, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

If you ever want a place to get good beer and food downtown come to swanks. Savanna is the best and she makes the whole experience worth it. Can say nothing bad about swanks! read more

I visited swankys on opening day and had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. I asked him if he liked reggae music. He said yes and I handed him a business card. He then lost his lid. He yelled at me. Saying do you know who I am! He said don't promote your band or business in my establishment. I said ok. He continued degrading me. I do not recommend this business to anyone looking to have a good time or to hold business functions in. He obviously does not support local business nor does he treat his paying customers with respect. All over a business card, ridiculous. I responded, much love and he turned his back to me and laughed to his friends. Enough said!!! read more

Came here on Saturday for several college football games, place was crowded but not obnoxiously so and had plenty of space. The wait staff did an amazing job with our 4 (which became 10) person group. Food was solid bar fare and came out quickly and drinks were reasonable, slushees were surprisingly good compared to many I've had. 5 stars because of the service from Britt and Savannah, despite the crowds we got drinks and food very quickly and with a great attitude. I recently had ACL surgery so was on crutches and a brace and Britt helped set up our tables so I could put my leg up and rest against a pillar. When an extremely inebriated patron fell on me Britt Savannah were quick to get the bouncer, and check on me as well as my group. Their service and genuine care made us all stay much later than anticipated. Thank you both, will definitely be back again! read more

We went here on a Friday night for a couple of drinks. They sell a bunch of different flavoured cocktail slushies. I've always been sceptical regarding cocktail slushies. But turns out the ones here are tasty! Ask about mixing them up! The service here is excellent and the atmosphere is great. Keep in mind this is a Green Bay Packers bar. read more

Stopped in here before and after a Rockies game. Cool little wisconsin bar. Prices are pretty good, especially being so close to the ballpark. I expected it to be more expensive but it was very reasonable. They have slushy cocktails and I must say they were really good. I had the cheese curds and the pretzel. Curds were good. Pretzel was weird. Didn't feel or taste like a pretzel and texture was weird. Outside of that, service was good and overall had a good experience. read more

My five stars are awarded to Stanky's, oh I mean Swanky's, for its role as a Packer's sports bar. I was there for a Packer game at 11:00 AM on a Sunday morning. The place was filled to the brim with friendly cheeseheads of all shapes and sizes. Concerned about the lack of sitting, the door dude kindly escorted me to a section of the covered pool table for a space of my own in front of the gigantic screen. I was forced to stand, but a server was there in no time to make sure I was taken care of. Chants of "Go Pack Go," resonated from the rafters, and two White Russians later, I was shouting also. Unfortunately, Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone during this game, and Stanky's, oh I mean Swanky's, lost its boisterous energy. Yet, no one left. Beer, cocktails, and fried food were served in copious amounts, and although the Pack was dismantled by the hated Vikings, everyone had a great time. On Wisconsin! read more

Savannah was phenomenal! I'll only come back if she's my waitress! Made my day she was so fast and considerate of our table!

I can't get enough of the Mac and Cheese. I try a new add in every time. Today was Mac and cheese with grilled chicken and it's by far the best in Denver. I should probably expand my food options, but I just can't help myself. The beer and liquor selections are of course on par with every bar on Blake, but the slushees are amazing. Try The Bucky! Also they just added some sour beers and I'm all about the sours. Wild Little Thing by Sierra Nevada is amazing. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone really. Sports bar, with good attitudes. read more

Good service but false pricing. Good music but weird scene. If a beer is said to be $3.50 it should be $3.50. I don't like that at all, there are a lot of nice happy hours elsewhere. read more

Stopped in for a beer before the Rockies Padres game. Pretty good beer selection and the service was quick and friendly. Didn't have time for food so will have to do that next time. But the menu looked good. Music is a little too loud for my taste. Plenty of TV screens with a variety of things tuned in. Good prices and friendly. Worth another stop in! read more

I was in town during the baseball All Star Game helping out the Ballpark Museum next door for a few days. Swankey's was very hospitable and provided security when David Ortiz made an appearance at the museum. I stopped by fir a beer and happy to report the prices were very fair. The next day for lunch, I tried the cheeseburger which was a good price at around $11.00. This is my go-to place to watch a game on TV, now that Chapultepec is closed. read more

I have a friend who is a die hard packers fan, and he introduced me to Swanky's. This was my 2nd here. Music playing was phenomenal , old school r&b, pop, rock just all around good times. This is a great spot with plenty good vibes. Had the cheese curds in the previous visit, and again went with them. The cheese curds are exceptional. After reading Yelp reviews there were a few that spoke of the Mac-N-Cheese. We went with the Mac and cheese, and after all is said and done, it was to die for. They offer extra toppings, and they definitely worth a try. The waitress recommended the bacon. The bacon is thick cut, large chunks within, with a lovely smoky flavor! Perfect addition. The Mac and Cheese was very thick and creamy! Will defines be ordering that again, possibly with bacon and jalapeños. Waitress was amazing. She made sure we were aware of the local favorites and explained the new drink additions to us. Always a fun time at Swanky's, I have come to that conclusion. The waitress also made us aware of bingo going on that night hosted by a local queen with a naughty theme. So we eventually ending our night back at Swanky's for forbidden bingo. Great crowd, good entertainment, with plenty of laughs! As soon as the waitress noticed we were back she greeted us by letting us know she was glad to see we could make it back! We had several more drinks during the second visit if the night. We also ordered chips and queso and that was the only downfall of the night. They were not with ordering. Overall this place is highly recommend to anyone in the downtown are looking for decent happy hour specials, cheese curds, mac-N-cheese, and good vibes! read more

Stop in for slushies! Order an extra shot in them :) however sometimes they Sneak up on ya! I enjoy only one but friends can have several. Very refreshing but can be dangerous. I love going to One up and then stopping in here for a orange dreamsicle (White Russian with tang) read more

Swanky's Vittles and Libations - Def order a White Russian and tang... Taste like an orange dreamsicle!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Such a fun bar! & we did / completed the "Chili Challenge" where you eat an entire huge fresh jalapeño, wait 5 minutes and take a giant shot of Casamigos for the coolest t-shirt. We also loved the slushee drinks, especially the Big Lebowski slushees - one had peanut butter and it was delicious, the other tasted like a milk tea boba. read more

Per usual, this is easily my favorite place in LODO! Best staff, amazing food and mind-blowing drinks! The frozen slushies are life changing (get the strawberry fields) and sooooo close to Coors Field! Come in and say Simone sent you!! Mark, the owner, is the most personable and makes the experience even better! read more

Terrible! I ordered delivery and they forgot my hotdog and refused to either refund me or send the forgotten food. The food we did get was AWFUL. I will never order or eat here again and I will be actively warning my friends and family. read more

Highly recommend the On Wisconsin slushee and the Oreo Cheesecake! They also raffle off Bucks tickets and I was the lucky winner tonight!! read more

This rating is strictly pertaining to this places alcoholic slushies and they are SUPERB. I believe they had five main flavors BUT don't close yourself off and be sure to check out their suggestions to mix flavors together. I got the dreamsicle and WOAH BABY 10 out of 10, might've been ice cream in it not sure, but definitely check this flavor out. read more

The best WI bar around! Their boozy slushies are soo good!! I love this place and all of their Packers decor!!

Went last night at 8ish, food and ambiance were fine. Beer selection meh. I'm giving Swankys a 1-star because the server in the grey Patagonia quarter zip and ponytail either doesn't know simple math with cash or deliberately tried to take money from us when we asked for our change. We felt we were being ripped off because she wouldn't give us the check/bill holder back, so it seemed like she knew she gave us the wrong change. Will not be going back to a place where servers try to scam us out of our money. read more

Date night with the husband couldn't have gone better! Chris and Tai at the bar were wonderful and took great care of us. The Mac n cheese was amazing, and the wings were great. The slushies they made us were really good too! The bar service was much more inviting than the table service, maybe the girl was having an off day. Chris made us feel like we belonged here!

Had a few hours to kill in Denver before a flight home. Decided to find a bar/restaurant to watch the Packers' game. I have been to a few different Packer bars throughout the country and this didn't disappoint. During the week I am sure it is a great sports bar but during Packer games it is definitely a Packer bar. Complete with flags out front to wait staff dressed in Packer gear to a huge Packer fan customer base. They have nice drink specials and the food was great. The wings were nice sized. Not the little ones you often get. The staff is what made it the best. They were attentive and quick and the drinks weren't watered down. Most impressive was the owner offering to keep our bags in a storeroom. We had checked out of our AirBnb and had a flight a few hours later. It was nice to know they were safe and out of the way. I will DEFINITELY return if ever in Denver again. Also less than a block from Coors Field if you are in town for a baseball game. Would be great for before and/or after the game. read more

I have no idea what type of bar Swanky's is trying to be. There's typical bar fare food, adult slushies, honest and friendly bartenders, and a mostly functional bathroom. Probably the type of bar you end up at and have a good time regardless of your night. read more

This past weekend I went to Swanky's for the second time and it was so much fun. This bar may be small but it is mighty and provides not only amazing frozen drinks, live sports and a wonderful environment, but really genuine and respectful service. Especially from the bartender Tai. He was attentive, not overbearing, gave great suggestions and was the cherry on top that added to my experience. I will definitely be bringing my friends back here. read more

Came here for the Packer game. I'm not sure who they played but I'm pretty sure they lost. It was packed per usual. If you want a specific seat get there hella early. This place is great to feel like you're at Lambeau. Everyone's super friendly, giving high fives and cheering. WEE! The food and beers are real good. Def get the cheese curds. I got the buffalo wrap and it was spicy AF. Be warned. Get extra ranch! Fries were good, chips and guac were good. Beers were a bit overprices but cheap in comparison to DT. They have a pretty good game day special and if you're serious you could def do some damage. Our server was new but very nice. She made a few mistakes like bringing out the wrong type of beers but she then brought out the right beers. She was very sweet but just green. She'll get the hang of it. Great spot for Packer game watching, great food and beer specials. WEEE! read more

Go Pack Go!!! One of the very best Green Bay Packers Bars in the Country-- I've only been to a few in the Western US and I have been to Lambeau! I've been to Swanky's for two big Packers games and without hesitation, I recommend this great sports bar for all NFL and Packers fans. The crowd is lively and passionate! Cheering so loud you'd think you were at Lambeau Field. Service is friendly, accommodating, and I've always received great drinks and food. Even during the peak of the crowd drinks and food flows... Plenty of beer, ample spirits, and above average "bar" food. Check out the unreal portion of natchos!! The sliders are unique and very satisfying during a day a drinking and football. The tator-tots are a def plus and the freshly made potato chips made me happy. Really this place is all about the game and during Packers games every screen and the entire bar is focused on Green Bay! People all seem cool and it's easy to make friends. The DJ tunes out all commercials with great music and fun beats. Be prepared to cheer, drink, and have a very memorable time during all Packers games. If you want to sit, I would get there early or be prepared to stand. Swanky's gets packed!! read more
