Scotch eggs are delicious! Bar tender was friendly! Haven't found scotch eggs done the hard boiled way anywhere else and that is the way I prefer. Will be back. read more

Fun Irish Pub on Colfax in the Park Hill neighborhood with daily food and drink specials. They had $6 Espolon Tequila, which was a great deal. Our bartender kept our drinks flowing. We also tried the Bourbon Beef Sliders, which had a nice Angus beef patty with cheddar, pickle, lettuce, and Thousand Island Dressing between a mini toasted brioche bun. If you are in the mood to go across the pond or to catch a Liverpool Game (they are an Official Liverpool Supporters Club), stop by The Abbey Tavern! read more

This is our "third place" and I can't recommend it enough. If you want a genuine Irish pub experience with solid food and a great Guinness pour, this is the spot. It's my favorite in Denver! read more

Went for dinner and ordered a couple things. Scotch egg was my favorite of all things. Abbey roll wasn't my favorite flavor profile. Husband ordered the breakfast and tried the blood and white pudding for the first time and enjoyed it. Service was hard to get considering the main attraction was the bar, but when she was at the table she was nice and helpful with questions. The ambiance was dark inside and also had a nice patio. read more

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The fish and chips were excellent, and served hot. I met a nice couple at the bar who were regulars. I was told they have music on Sundays. Will definitely be returning soon. read more

Great bartenders! Very comfortable place with good food and atmosphere. They have drink and food specials.

My sister and I came in to visit Denver and our tiny AirBnB is around the corner from The Abbey Tavern. While staying we visited the tavern a couple of times for drinks and another for food and drinks. We were not disappointed with the food, service, or any of the selections. The food menu here is diverse and is not serving your typical bar fare here. You will find things like meatloaf and short ribs with all the fixin's too. I was happy with the hefty burger I got and the generous amount of french fries too. Check out if they have their shepard's pie too. I read a lot about it but was too set on having a burger when we came in. They seem to have an array of events that go on during the week here too. When we were there they had a trivia game going on that you could play directly from their phone and at their table. I also want to point out the different areas of seating here that includes hightops/bar level seatings and booths. Parking would have been easy if we drove but the walkability to this tavern was too hard to dismiss. read more

This place is my home; we found it prior to moving to Denver before we found somewhere to live. Glen, the owner, and every member of staff - FOH & BOH - love what they do and give their all. Food is delicious - highly recommend all breakfast/brunch options, sandwiches, and the fish and chips - Guinness, Carlsberg, and Liverbird Lager on tap! Multiple TVs for games and events, great seating options, feels like a proper neighborhood Irish pub. This is always the case, but when Liverpool plays this place is on another level. We meet here as the supporters' club but I've been told by many a fan from across the pond that The Abbey is the only place that captures the spirit of watching Liverpool back over there. I cannot recommend this place enough, for families or a post-work beer or to cheer on Liverpool FC, The Abbey is the place for me. YNWA. read more

Love the open set of Irish music played live on Sundays. Bar Food, Irish Breakfast all day.

Typically enjoy this place for Liverpool matches. You have to get there very early to get a good seat. We came prepared and waited in line for an hour, only to end up sitting in seats that were apparently "reserved" by waitstaff - though no signs were visible. By the time we were asked to move, there were no seats left in the restaurant at all and we ended up leaving to watch the game at home. We don't mind if the staff want to reserve seats for ownership, but it should be made clear so we can seat ourselves someplace else in the first place, before it's gets full. We left extremely frustrated as we waited to get in for an hour and could have sat somewhere else if there was just proper signage. read more

This place is amazing. First of all I own a theater company, and we had just finished our run of an Irish play. We wanted to go to an authentic Irish pub. The Abbey tavern was recommended to us by a friend. I called Sarah, one of the owners, and told I was being in a troupe of actors, and wondered if we could reserve a spot. She was more than accommodating, and welcomed us with open arms. She suggested we order food ahead of time, so that we would get it in a timely manner. And sure enough it came out super fast. If that wasn't good enough, the food was incredible. my friend had Scotch eggs, and I tried them. They were heaven. I got the chicken avocado sandwich, and it was amazing. Everybody else was very happy with their food. Sarah is a wonderful hostess, and gave me a goodbye hug as she was leaving. I told her we would be back. I plan on coming here whenever I have the opportunity Thank you Sarah! read more

This review took me a while to compose due to my experience at The Abbey Tavern. The food was really good. Always has been. I had ordered take-away meals before with never a complaint. On this night I was flying solo and had some extra time so I bellied up to the bar and ordered a couple of old fashions with my meal. Food and drinks were GREAT (one star for food, another for drinks). Things went a little sideways when a couple guys were ordering drinks beside me and one ordered a drink that was pink in the glass. For the rest of my night (another 15-20 minutes) I had to listen to the bartender making jokes about this guy drinking a "gay drink". The other patron kept shrugging it off and didn't seem bothered by it, just annoyed by the juvenile bartender. For me, this is enough to say I cannot go back. Sadly, as I do enjoy the place, the food and drinks, the proximity to home, having Nugs next door, the early opening for Premier League Soccer, all of it. But this does not feel like a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community and as such I cannot support them. read more

Great food. Cool atmosphere. Off-street parking. This place has surprisingly great food. My expectations are usually low at Irish Pubs. But, the short rib stroganoff was stellar and the shepherd's pie was fantastic as well. We heard from around the table that folks had never been disappointed by a dish, here. Check out the event calendar or call to find out what The Abby has going on before you head over. They have events like an Irish Music open jam night, which is super cool, but may not be the best night to go planning to have a conversation at your table. The Abbey has a small, off-street parking lot. This is unique for Colfax and a really nice option, since street parking can be hard to come by. If you are a soccer fan, this is a Liverpool bar. So, choose your soccer watching jersey carefully ;) read more

I had Shepard's pie made with sirloin and my wife had fish and chips. It was very good. It's a bar but it has a nice atmosphere and the service was good. Wine selection was pretty poor but they had a variety of beers. Overall, it was a very good experience. read more

This is the worse service and the bartender is very rude. She complained about another couple at the bar when we got there, in front of them. read more

Scotch eggs....perfection, fish & chips...excellent, atmosphere and music...couldn't be better, staff...that's what will bring me back again and again! read more

This was such a great find in the Park Hill area! My friend and I stumbled across this place in search of true hearty brunch options. We were seated immediately, right after they opened and the restaurant was fairly empty, making social distancing easy. I ordered a mimosa (not bottomless, but the next best thing at $3 each!) and corned beef hash with potatoes extra crisped up and eggs over medium. The food and drinks were on point. The service was also fast. Prices were reasonable. A hidden gem tucked away on Colfax, I can't wait to try something new here. read more

I don't often write reviews unless something really bad or really good happens. And this place shocked me into needing to write a review. From the outside, it looks like a basic tavern with supposedly basic food. Damn, was I wrong. The food was gourmet-amazing food, at regular prices. Everything we ordered could have been served at The Brown Place. If you're a foody or just have high standards you must check it out. read more

Awful. Now I know it's a tavern what do you expect but I was really hoping to find unusually good burger and fish and chips here. The place is super dark and dingy got the BBQ burger and Fish and chips both were overcooked and awful. Also they serve tartar from a packet which the pics did not indicate. If I knew that I wouldn't have gotten like at least make your own tartar. Drinks were watered down and service sub par. Won't venture here again. read more

Very enjoyable atmosphere, and a fantastic server. We all enjoyed the appetizers especially the scotch eggs, our meals fast and delicious

Service was great. Food was okay! Went for the first time ever excited to get in and sample some good Irish eats and boom...COVID/pandemic menu! I believe I saw 1-3 items at best that represented Irish culture. I do love me a good delicious Irish breakfast but at 7:00pm on a Thursday...doesn't sound too appetizing. That being one of the very few actual authentic dishes on their new or temporary menu. My biggest advice...call and make sure a different menu is being used here and at all establishments before going. Man oh man was I craving a few items off their menu ALL day before arriving and being that it was our first time...to say we left disappointed would be an understatement. read more

The Abbey Tavern - A very limited menu! - Irish Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We went recently on our way to the airport as I was looking to watch the Liverpool game and found out this place is a Liverpool pub. Great atmosphere and we enjoyed being there. The food however, was just okay. I was quite disappointed with the fries as they seemed pretty pale, could've been cooked longer. My burger was not bad. My husband got the shepherd's pie which was okay too. We got the corned beef egg rolls which I didn't really like. Honestly the food is nothing to ride home about. If I'm in the area I might go back for a game but not so much for the food. read more

Went here for Sunday brunch, awesome food and great service. Highly recommend the spinach and artichoke dip.

I absolutely love this neighborhood bar. I've been coming here for over ten years to play trivia every Wednesday. The trivia game is the best I've played with a host that is filled with verve and personality. I truly think the trivia game, every Wednesday, 52 weeks a year is such an amazing perk for an already wonderful pub. SLAINTE! PS. The staff is the best part of my time spent here. read more

EDIT- Response for the owner: If your three best customers are transcending sports and crossing into xenophobia, then that says more about you and your "pub" than anyone else. On Carlsberg: ironically, what prompted this reply to my review, is drinking a Carlsberg in my local Liverpool chapter bar. Does "unavailable in North America" translate to a lack of organization on your end? I'd say it's less of me "complaining about" anything, and more recognizing that 60% of your taps are out of service. Maybe work on that and take criticism? Doesn't seem likely though honestly. "Maybe Liverpool and fun just isn't for you" You're right. I was only born and raised in Liverpool, and have traveled all over the world to watch the team and enjoy the local support....by the way, have you ever been? CIAO! read more

Great spot and ample parking. Fun little place with great $5.00 drink specials. Food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Will definitely make my way back! LOTS of TVs so if u wanna watch a game, this is a great spot to be! read more

The Abbey Tavern - TVs everywhere great place to watch opening ceremonies! - Irish Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Went on a slow rainy night. Sat at the bar and watched hockey Stanley cup finals. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. She recommended the steak sandwich and it was fantastic. Thick cuts of steak and the baguette was tasty with the garnish. Tiny bump of blue cheese at the end of the bite. Fries were pretty good. My only critique would be the steak could have been trimmed a tiny bit more. Had some inedible bites on the edges but that can be expected with that much steak. I'm headed back tonight for the chicken sandwich. read more

Came here with a friend, and it was nice to see the place feeling a little bit more like the pre-pandemic days. We were seated immediately, but it did take a little while for us to get our orders in as it seemed to have been pretty busy. It was fine cause my friend and I were able to just continue chatting - but at some point, you just want to start ordering your food. Eventually, I ordered an appetizer of the blackened fish tacos to go along with a mushroom swiss burger and a side of fries. The tacos were pretty tasty and had a bit of a kick. The burger was okay, as it wasn't particularly special for a burger. All in all, I wouldn't mind coming here again, but something I might not be seeking out intentionally. It's nice that it's right next to Nuggs in case you want to come to the Abbey Tavern for a decent dinner and drinks before dessert. read more

The abbey tavern is a perfect low key bar with delicious food. We ordered the chicken wrap which was huge and flavorful, and a cup of the green chili which was so spicy and amazing. My husband had the fish and chips which was also really good. Will usually always notice a regular in there and it's for a reason! read more

I love the location, great for a drink and a scotch egg. Good service, I found the food, tried Fish and Chips and Rueben to be meh. It was expensive fir average food. read more

Had the fish and chips and I couldn't even finish it. (Which was a first, I love fried fish.) It was chewy, flavorless, and the batter slipped off the fish at the first touch. Filled up on fries and coleslaw which were at least edible, if not great, then noped out. Nobody asked how the food was. Maybe their other items are better - they were super busy - but I'm in no rush to find out. Maybe I'll grab another beer there again someday and leave it at that. read more

As usual it was a long week. Hubs needed something closer to home, some protein that he might like and to The Abbey Tavern we went. Right after we enter this establishment, we sat ourselves at one of the Booth Seating near to the Bar on the Left Wing of this establishment. That evening was on Thursday evening, April 24th 2014. Time was about 20:30hrs ish. We waited for abit, until our lovely server came to our table to give us the Menu that evening. That evening, our server her name is Katy. Table 2/1. We ordered the following items : * BBQ Chicken Wings ($10.95) * Corn Beef Rueben, sandwiches & fries ($10.95) * Irish Nachos ($8.95) * Coffee and Fountain Coke Cola for Hubs 5 minutes later after ordering, Hubs received his Coffee and Fountain Coke Cola order. As for me, I opt to have water as my beverages. About 15 minutes later, our order arrived. Hubs got his Reuben. We definitely LIKE the Irish Nachos. Even when I am writing this review, I kept on thinking about the Irish Nachos. Man, I wonder what they put on those Nachos, though I cannot deny, the "Potato Chips" that are thinly sliced and FRIED are a little on a "cold" side, to my liking. Throughout the whole evening, Hubs kept on comparing this Irish Nachos with McCoys. Sorry McCoys, coz the Irish Nachos from The Abbey Tavern is WAY BETTER tasting than McCoys. From the Rueben, to the Chicken Wings and the Irish Nachos, Hubs rated everything 3.5 stars 2 stars for the Chicken Wings personally for me, coz its too sweet for my liking. *SAD FACE* Our server periodically come and refill Hubs coffee and make sure we have what we need that evening. All in all decent establishment which is like 20 minutes away from where we live. We also enjoyed ourselves thoroughly that evening, watching the AVS game on the several TV Screens that they are showing. 3.5 stars at best for OVERALL Experience, dining in, and having our late evening Dinner here. We don't mind returning to this establishment coz I am eyeing for another dish for the next visit from the Menu. The Abbey Tavern 5151 E.

Irish I could eat some more fish & chips!!! This Irish pub has some darn good fried fish & chips- I recommend trying it for less than $14! The fish itself was great (2 pieces) & it sat on a huge bed of French fries. It comes with some cole slaw that was just ok. I also tried: 1. BBQ pork sliders: Pulled pork topped with coleslaw on a warm brioche bun - for under $10 2. Cuban panini: Thinly sliced ham, pulled pork, swiss cheese, pickles and spicy mustard served on a ciabatta bread roll- $11 The panini was my least favorite because it was too carb-y. I was really full off of it after eating just 1/2. The fish & chips was my favorite dish. I think it is their most popular dish. There were 2 piecs of fish on a giant bed of French fries. The sliders were juicy & had some nice acidity & crunch from the pickles. This tavern has an indoor & outdoor dining area and is decorated to look like a real tavern/cave. It is dark inside with a lot of stone and sports decor. There are several TVs inside for sports. They have read more

Nice little neighborhood joint, perfect for meeting up with friends. The atmosphere is open and inviting and the patio is a definite bonus. Abbey Tavern has a very decent drink selection whether you are looking for whiskey, beer or wine. The service was excellent and the food was yummy. I had the Abbey Roll, which was delicious. I would most certainly go back to Abbey Tavern to try out their HH when the weather gets a bit warmer. read more
