Visiting the Denver area and planned on meeting my nephew for a quick bite/ drink near his place. He suggested The Patio. A great little spot next to Sloan's Lake. Big glass windows looking out to the lake. We were there for drinks and little bites. We ordered the pretzel bites, Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls and Mango Shrimp Ceviche. All came out promptly after ordering. Flavors were good. Just a little too much mango and not enough shrimp in the ceviche. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

Though it wasn't it first time to Denver to visit friends and enjoy a meal it was the first to have enough time to enjoy a sunny Saturday outdoors and we were very lucky The Patio could deliver a destination with excellent food, a wide v variety of cocktails, a welcoming atmosphere with stellar service that makes you want to stay for just one more drink. We'll couldn't resist the warm, golden pretzel bites with their soft, pillowy center but the rich, slightly spicy queso combined with a great local brew while my wife enjoyed the espresso martini as a perfect bridge between a leisurely lunch and a busy evening ahead.. As my wife and friends each ventured into dishes such as the Chicken Tinga Tostada, the loaded chopped Sirloin Tacos, Tempura Cauliflower Tacos and the Ahi Tuna Bowl I couldn't help but eye thier reactions & seek out their input on the dishes (plus manage to score a few bites ) The patio itself did true to it's name sake - spacious, comfortable & energetic without feeling crowded. Groups gathered for drinks and food with friends and pets alike, and everyone seemed to be taking full advantage of a perfect Denver day and a fantastic place that's as much about the experience as it is the food read more

Offer a variety of menu items from wings, ceviche, tacos, salad, burgers, noodles. We were sat at soon as we entered and were offered booth, table, outside or bar seating. Our waitress was attentive and provided us with great service. The food we ordered was excellent. Ahi Tuna Salad $19.50 sesame seared ahi tuna, mixed greens, mango, roasted red peppers, pickled red onions, slivered almonds, toasted sesame ginger dressing. The dressing was definitely my favorite. Provided a good portion of tuna. Patio Burger $17.50 double patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. We opted the pickles and special sauce. The fries were crispy and warm. Enjoy the burger Boneless Chicken Wings $9 during HH Mango Shrimp Ceviche $17 portion was small, the mango over overpowering, need more lime juice, onions, cucumbers and overall I thought it was overpriced for the item we received. read more

Went on a very busy Saturday afternoon so not going to ding for slow service. That's on me. Excellent location, pet friendly patio and good drinks. Cocktails are a lot of ice for the price. Food was very tasty read more

Wonderful experience!! Loved the patio, all the pups that are welcomed, and the staff were wonderful! We ordered fried pickles, Tijuana Tacos and Ahi Tuna Tacos. Great beer selections and drink options! Love the location being close to the lake. It's a very chill environment and welcoming! 10/10 would visit again! :) read more

Left without a meal. They have a three percent surcharge for kitchen staff. They would not remove it. They let two hundred dollars walk out the door. It's not my responsibility to pay salaried employees. Wait staff do not get a regular salary ergo my minimum is twenty percent and then some. People need to make a stand read more

I think most of the reviews on here are pretty spot-on. They do a decent job with everything but it does not necessarily offer anything that makes you want to come back time and time again. It is pretty cool that they are steps away from Sloan's Lake Park but I would say that's the only thing that makes them unique. I got a tequila pineapple there which was made pretty well with a generous amount of tequila but no tajin or salt and I had to ask for a lime. Not a huge deal. Ambiance is interesting there. It was dead quiet with no music or if there was it was turned down so low that I don't remember any playing. It almost felt awkward being in there. Service was good. Bartender was personable and timely. I think the best time to come here would be during sunset sitting at the patio with a view of Sloan's and your friends. read more

The Patio at Sloans - Tequila Pineapple - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is a great venue for sports fans who enjoy the outdoors. Bar opens huge glass doors onto the lakeside, and has a Big beautiful patio. Sadly, it was too hot to open the bar windows. Don't recall any music playing, which is always disappointing. Service at the bar was good and friendly, but did not inspire banter that keeps me paying, so I left after the first drink. read more

I consistently come here for a beer, burger, and fries, and it satisfies every time. The employees are friendly and there's always plenty of indoor or outdoor seating. I've never had to make a reservation which I appreciate in this day and age. Their patio is dog friendly! I always think about trying something new on their menu but honestly the burger (I order this with just a single patty, the double is a bit much) and fries are so good I skip trying something new. Also the fries come with the burger, it's not a separate cost, which I believe should be the standard for any restaurant serving a burger! Good job to Patio at Sloan's for getting that correct. Beer selection is also good, there's always something on draft that sounds good to me for someone who does not really drink a lot of beer! read more

As I was growing up many of my best memories were hanging out with family and friends on our back patio, so when I saw a restaurant named The Patio I had to give it a go! As you drive by at night you can feel the good vibes emanating from this bar. Pretty hip was my first impression. Lots of neighborhood regulars and visitors-- A pretty good mixture of people. I ate here quite a few times while visiting my mom at the PAM hospital down the street. I tried the 3 different burgers on their menu and also their fish tacos. I also got feedback from my uncle that the ahi tuna salad was fantastic! The burgers were amazing! The Mushroom Swiss is worthy of an entry in the annual top burger in Denver competition. The Patio Burger with avocado and bacon was also quite tasty. The mouthwatering Southwest Burger was perfect with just the right amount of heat! I had to walk back and compliment the kitchen staff! The servers were fun one was named Emily and she was great. Also was served by bartender when I sat at a table in the bar area and he stopped by a few times making that trek from behind the bar out to check on me. Whether you're enjoying a day in the park, visiting relatives in the hospital/rehab down the street, or just want a great burger after work this place rocks. I hope The Patio participates in Denver's Best Burger competition they just might win! I can walk to Park Burger from my house but would rather drive over here! The brunch menu looks great as well! Cheers! read more

Was not expecting this brunch to be this good!! We were trying to find a spot to watch the Penn state game AND get food and this place knocked it out of the park! The bloody Mary's were AMAZING. I got mine spicy and it was really quite delicious. I also got the vampire breakfast tacos and I couldn't believe the presentation! I appreciated the tacos bc even though they looked like a lot, they really weren't too fancy or over the top. They were super flavorful. The breakfast burrito was MASSIVE and delicious! Can't wait to come back for brunch again! read more

THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE!! Our group of 5 came to eat before we went to the Morgan wallen concert yesterday around 2:30. We ordered our food at 2:45 (we all got salads, and a app of pretzels) our server didn't come back to check in on us, refill our waters, or tell us when our food was coming. It was 3:15 when she came back and said "let me go check on your food" and came back with all of our food. The food itself was delicious! We ate and after we were done we waited 15 minutes before a different server came to check in with us and we said we needed the check. Our server then came back EATING FOOD while giving us our bill. She seemed annoyed when we were ordering at the beginning and she never told us her name. She was wearing green biker shorts and a black t shirt. read more

Great time sitting on their patio and enjoying drinks + food with my friends. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with getting us seated Friday evening without a reservation.

The Patio at Sloans - Purple Haze, Huckleberry Fizz, & Honey Bear cocktails - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Went to the patio yesterday... as we were on a walk at Sloan's Lake and saw that there were storm clouds in the distance. We went to the patio to take shelter with my mini Aussie Doodle named Fitz. Now I've been to the patio more time than I can count and I've always sat in the covered patio outdoor area with my dog and it's never been a problem. They've always been dog friendly - Apparently, they decided that they changed the rules and all of a sudden after years of allowing dogs in the covered area - on this rainy day they decided that you can no longer sit in the covered patio area with your dog. So they sat us on the uncovered patio area as storm cloud rolled in and we sat there, and got drinks at it begin to rain. We asked the server if we could move to the coveted section as it then began to rain sideways. We told the server that we needed to move out out of the rain because we were literally getting drenched. She got the manager and they refused to see us in the same area that I've sat with the same dog more than a dozen times before. They had the audacity to tell us that we couldn't stand there as it poured on us and then that sat another table that had a dog in the covered area as they watched us stand in the pouring rain. This place hasn't been good for a while but something needs to be said about poor management- this is hospitality ... and The Patio is just another representation of why Denver has no concept of what actual hospitality is. At what point is basic human decency going to be marked as a standard - not in Denver - that's just wishful thinking - I will never go to this place again and you shouldn't either. read more

Came here on a Friday after a nice walk around the lake. I was just opening, so there was plenty of seating. They have indoor seating and heated outdoor seating with a canopy to stay warm and shielded you from the wind. We were helped immediately, and our waiter was on top of his game. He was even able to split all of our checks individually. Overall, the experience was great however, the food could definitely be improved. The food was average. With the Caesar chicken wrap, the chunks of chicken were just way too big. And this type of wrap that needs to be cut into smaller pieces or shredded because an entire bite of chicken is kind of gross. On top of the tortilla just didn't do it for me. It would've been nice if they for maybe 10 seconds on each side, put the tortilla on a pan to make it a little bit crispier. Also, in a Caesar salad, you get croutons so I would expect that the wrap should have at least a few croutons in there to give it that crunchy texture. The fries were absolutely delicious and so was the salad so can't complain there!! Totally recommend if you're looking for a spot around the lake. I would definitely come back, especially in summer. However, I'd probably try something different. Overall 4/5 stars! read more

Great spot right off of sloans lake. Elevated bar food, great selection of cocktails and beers (on tap and bottles). Good indoor seating and of course an awesome patio. Staff is super friendly and vibe is awesome. read more

We are all surprised by how fast the food was served!! Hopefully that doesn't mean they just reheated premade dishes as what we had all tasted pretty good. I wish we had been seated at the patio but we're grateful that we got seated, period. Without having to wait for a table for long. So we were at the main dining hall on the ground floor. I especially enjoyed the Patio Burger, it's got double patties and a fried egg! Just the perfect amount of grease and drippy cheese. Can't get more American than that! The boys at the party loved the pickle chips, it's not my thing but I tried the appetizer wings and they were not bad. My salmon with wild rice was very healthy tasting yet still pretty hearty. Already pretty full but friends suggested dessert and I wasn't gonna turn them down. We got one of each: cheesecake and chocolate cake. Both good sharing sizes without being outrageously big. Service was fast and friendly. We enjoyed our experience here more than expected. read more

I've had hit or miss experiences here! The last time I dined, it was busy during a Nuggets game but after asking to be seated on the patio and brought menus, we were not served. Because we only wanted to stop in for a quick drink, we decided to leave. It was strange that the outdoor patio had such loud speakers playing the game when there was no TV on the patio (we decided to sit away from the game as we did not need to watch but the speakers were overpowering). Other times I have had a good experience and will be visiting again but more mindful of the service and if I am looking for a quick drink, knowing it may need to be at the bar. read more

When walking around Sloans Lake this restaurant always looked inviting from the street. Last week we popped in for late lunch with a friend around 3 pm when happy hour started. Drinks are definitely made haphazardly-the whiskey sour was way too sour and a skimpy old fashion. Had Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and a burger. Typical pub grub with ground up beef for the Philly cheesesteak and salty truffle fries. Meh. Our afternoon in April was too chilly for the real front patio and the plastic window tent was adequate but not pleasant. I can think of much better ways to spend $100 for three people for a happy hour lunch. No reason to go back. read more

This place was really nice! I highly recommend this place. Service was amazing and food was delicious.

The patio outside was such a great spot to enjoy with friends. It has plenty of space and it would be great for a large group. My go-to term for this review will be "subpar". Our service was subpar as our waiter wasn't very helpful with the menu or bringing us water after we asked a few times. The food was subpar. We didn't really like it and we didn't really dislike it. However, I felt that the prices were pretty expensive for what we got. I most likely won't go back to the Patio at Sloans unless the prices come down and the service improves. The best part of what we got were the fried pickles and the queso. read more

Came here for restaurant week and it was a huge disappoint. Food was horrible. Ahi tuna nachos and ceviche were overly sweet and chips were crumbs. Cauliflower tacos were so bad I couldn't finish. Burger was gross. Service was friendly but inattentive. Couldn't have dessert from the menu (allergy) and they didn't offer to just charge items individually. read more

The Smash burger was amazing, one of the best in denver. Rest of the food is average though. Tried the grilled chicken wrap, which was drowning in buffalo sauce with minimal chicken and lots of bread. Decent beer selection. Great outdoor space right next to Sloans. I would come back for the smash burger or for a drink only. read more

The food was okay, but the location is great. I would recommend this for a place to have a beer/cocktail but not necessarily for food. read more

It was a gorgeous day out so I decided to take a stroll around Sloan's with a friend. After we finished a lap, he recommended stopping for dinner at The Patio. It has a fun ambiance - sports on TV, outdoor seating, and lots of dogs! He had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and I ordered the Grilled Pear and Feta Salad. The salad was flavorful and healthy, but the peaches could've been grilled a bit more, and the portion was huge. Our server was very friendly; she smiled a lot and checked in with us at a healthy rate. Overall, I'm happy I stopped in and may possibly return next time I'm on a walk in the area. read more

We came down after an afternoon in the park and it did not disappoint. Great beer selection, my wife had a spicy margarita which she loved and I had the German Lager. We were only killing time while we waited for another reservation so we split their pretzel bites ans their wedge chopped salad with shrimp, and it was well made. The place is nice with somewhat loud music but not in a bad way. You can still have a conversation. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had our 3 year old with us and she loved it. I wish they had a kids menu they can color or do something with. But we came prepared. Overall a great experience! read more

A group of 7 of us went here on a Thursday night and thankfully due to making a reservation were able to be seated inside because it was chilly.

Great service, great location! A small group of us came here after a hike, so notably hungry and ready for some drinks! I usually go for a slushy cocktail when I see one -- especially on a sunny day like this. I passed on a frozé this time because they were fourteen bucks each and Yelpers had advised against them (I did my research). My Apricot Blonde Ale was delish! I will note that you cannot order anything from 1-1:30 -- guess who rolled in at 12:45? While we were rushed to place our order before the kitchen flipped, our waitress was very accommodating and did a great job explaining the situation to our small group. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and boyfriend had the hot chicken sandwich. The wrap was alright, the buffalo had good flavor but really not a lot of chicken to be had. My boyfriends sandwich was good and the hot honey was a nice touch! 3 stars because the food wasn't anything you couldn't have made at home, and prices were high for what that was. Also a little disappointed to not be able to order during a prime lunch hour slot. Despite this, great service and a fine place to have a beer near Sloans! read more

I had been to this restaurant once (before yesterday) as a third-party vendor (I have a side gig I do) but yesterday's dining experience was as a customer with a good friend of mine. Hence, I'm writing this review to tell you how it went. First of all, this is definitely a great place to have a drink or two with something light to eat especially in the bar area facing the lake. You can sit and do some people watching (if you like dogs, those people who walk by are usually with their furry friends; this place is also dog friendly as long as you sit outside) or look at the lake water; well, this is doable during the warm months on a sunny day. Although it rained quite a bit earlier in the day, when we got there at/around 5-5:15pm, the weather was gorgeous. Because I always order wine when I dine out, I wanted to be more adventurous, so I ordered one of the cocktails off the Happy Hour menu; I went with Sunset Spritz (Mavi Aperitivo, Lemon Juice, Lamarca Prosecco Rose, and Sparkling Water.; $8 whereas the regular price as of 7/20/2023 is/was $11) as this sounded so refreshing. As beautiful and photogenic as it looks (because of its overall orangy looks) you might get intrigued especially when someone nearby is drinking. Unfortunately, however, I didn't care for the overall taste. I first though it was just me so I asked my friend to taste it. It didn't appeal to her palate either; she described it as "Fanta with alcohol in it" or something along the line. So my honest and frank opinion about this drink is that it doesn't taste as great as its appearance. I probably won't order it ever unless they change up the ingredients (there was a strange bitterness at the end.) For food to eat, I went with Pesto Chicken Sandwich with Truffle Fries. This was a decent plate where I wasn't disappointed at all. The Truffle Fries were well made where they didn't overload with salt. The sandwich's portion is a decent size, but I must admit that it's a bit overpriced (at $19; a plate like this should be $15.) Service was good though! The young lady who served us was prompt, accurate and smiling the whole 9 yards. I still think that this place is a good place to spend an early evening to enjoy the ambiance it creates. I'll dine here again when/if I see fit for a good occasion. read more
