Top-notch, fun, loud with much better food than most downtown taverns/sports bars. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts. The smoked salmon salad is generous, fresh, tasty. Above average fish and chips. Beers are on tap, in great quantities, but a full selection of liquors too. The bar is a great place to hang out with friends. Our server was wonderful, attentive and engaged!!
Stopped in at the bar and had a couple drinks and a bowl of the delicious Colorado Chili. It was very good, flavorful, and filling, served in a cast iron bowl. Bartender was great and whipped me up a solid old fashioned and my friend a type of pear margarita. Nice stop while In Denver!
Not bad spot in downtown. Was able to accommodate large parties. It was a bit weird because they had a section for us and not a long table like the others we saw. Ended up moving tables ourselves to make it work. Lots of food options to choose from, ended up with the steak and it was pretty good.
The restaurant was fairly empty at 4pm. The service was nice, perhaps selling a little too hard. The restaurant is very large with a great after work bar atmosphere, but could also be nice for families or dates. The food was good. Try the chicken pasta. Prices were a little steep but the food was worth it. The artichoke dip was very cheesy. I would dine again.
Picked here to try Rocky Mountain Oysters $16.5. A local delicacy, the "oysters" are actually cow testicles and a cattle rancher food. The oysters here are chopped small and very seasoned, so you taste more of the batter. No gameyness (tho my tolerance for gameier meat is high). The osyster were chewy after u get past the batter, and mostly tasted lemony (before squeezing the sliced lemons). I did absolutely enjoyed the Peruvian sweet peppers they threw on top. First time having them! Not only are they cool looking, they do taste sweet with a peppery smell! Chicken Fried Elk $21 The Elk patty here is more tender than expected and tasted like a mix between pork and beef. It went well with the savory, mashed, skin on potato on the bottom, and the over easy eggs. The dish overall, however, was too salty. Service was friendly. Note - there's a 3.5% percent surcharge and it is stated on the menu itself... Don't think it is avoidable by paying cash bc part of the reason for it is to compensate staff that don't get tipped. Either way, I generally prefer the restaurant to just rise their price instead of pinning a surcharge.
Vibrant modern American fare served in a large vibrant contemporary western bar in the middle of 16th Street in downtown Denver. Outdoor seating to watch the street life walk by as well as a warm wood paneled interior with a great buzz on the inside. We had the Wedge with Steak, Skillet Chicken Pot Pie and a traditional Burger and all the ingredients were fresh and well presented. Reasonable prices and attentive service. Highly recommended on 16th Street!
Ambiance 3 for loudness, 4 for theme Service 4 out of 5 - service was friendly but slow Food 4 out of 5 I had chicken pot pie at the recommendation of our server. It was very good, but lacked salt/pepper which was easily remedied. Another in our group really liked the short rib stroganoff. They have an interesting menu with a wide variety of drinks and food options.
We ate here before seeing a show at the Paramout. I loved this place before when it was Marlowe's (MANY year ago!) so maybe I went with high expectations? The building itself is beautiful so there is a star for that and the cowboy art on the wall. We ordered some whiskey drinks that did not dissapoint. The Peacemaker is very booz forward, while the Big Blue Bear is milder. Our service was nice and quick. We decided to start with an app of Artichoke dip. It came out in a skillet, but was not very hot. The cheese on top was not melted and I had to use a knife and fork to cut it up rather than dip bread in it. It was tasty all the same but would have been much better and more enjoyable had it been thorougly cooked. This put us off a bit, so we opted to skip the entree and go straight for dessert. The Burbon Peach Crumble is also served in a skillet, and - you guessed it - also lukewarm. It made for a very dense hard to spoon out experience. If it had been hot like one would expect in a skillet, I believe it would have been better. The photos on their website look really great and the two dishes I mentioned look like they are cooked much better than what we recevied. Maybe we just had an off night, I am not sure. I am uncertain if we are up for trying again....
The location is nice. Right on the Main Street, and we got a table so we could people watch while eating dinner. The chicken potpie was very good. Highly recommend anyone try if they eat here. The salad was okay. The chicken on it really saved it. It was very well cooked and delicious.
Ordered from here via Grubhub. The burger and fries were absolutely delicious! Green chili was just okay. The chocolate cake was really good but I didn't like the pumpkin seeds on it. Here's my funny though and a sign of good service. On the order I asked for some ketchup for the fries. I received several packets as well as a half full bottle. Lol. Thanks for the ketchup.
I walked in without a reservation and was seated right away. The staff was really friendly and we had a bit of small talk before I ordered my food. I got the short rib stragonoff, which was recommended to me as a customer favorite. I liked it - the meat was very tender and had a good ratio to the pasta and sauce. One thing to note: this restaurant automatically added a restaurant impact surcharge of 3.5% to my bill without my knowledge. This seems to be somewhat common among restaurants in Denver but is something to look out for.
Thanks to Yelp reviews we checked this place out. We were seated and greeted right away. Our server was a sweetheart. I forgot his name but he said he's usually behind the bar but he picked up this extra shift. Lucky us. He was very informative about the area and gave us some tips of what to do. I ordered the pumpernickel Reuben and substituted grilled asparagus for the fries. Worth the $2 upcharge. Service was great, atmosphere trendy, and anywhere that plays country music is a plus in my book.
What an amazing place this was that I stumbled upon. The service here was top notch above par all the way around. The server was on point each time and ensured we never ran out of anything. The food was cooked to absolute perfection. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the weather and ended up sticking around a few hours for some drinks after dinner. Definitely would come back here again and again and again
I ate here twice during a recent trip to Denver. I had the chicken fajita salad and the trail boss burger. The salad was good, not great. They use Napa cabbage as the base and it felt like they didn't dry it well after washing the lettuce. My salad was pretty wet. The burger was fantastic! The bacon was thick and perfectly cooked. I love goat cheese on a burger and the tomato marmalade added a nice tang. On my 2nd visit, my friend and I shared the Rocky Mountain Oysters appetizer because when you're in Colorado you have to have them! They're lightly breaded and fried, so they have a nice crunch. The horseradish dip is tasty! Service was excellent both visits! They kept my iced tea glass refilled and were quick with anything I needed. I also liked that their outdoor patio is on the 16th street mall, next to a street that's closed to cars, so you don't get a ton of car traffic and fumes. Instead you can people watch and enjoy the pretty sky art while you eat. read more

I came back to try the fancy $20 for 8 big Campfire Wings and a few other things I missed last time. The wings were cooked right, and the BBQ sauce was thick and proper. I wish I had tried the Hot wings though because these were mild and the dill ranch dressing was watery and thin. I also ordered a cup of Colorado Chili AND a cup of Pork Green Chili. The Colorado was standard and mild. Fresh, but I needed to add salt for flavor , which is fine. The Green Chili was thick and had more flavor, but this review is a note to my future self to not order these chili's again. I like this place, and the service is good, so I'm sure I'll be back, but I'll get sriracha or Tabasco to go with it then. read more

West Saloon hit all the right notes for a casual, satisfying meal. I ordered the Green Chile Chicken Sandwich with a side salad, and both were genuinely delicious. The salad was fresh, crisp, and way better than your typical "just‑because" side--thoughtful toppings, good texture, and a dressing that actually had flavor. The Green Chile Chicken Sandwich was the real standout. The chicken was tender, the green chile added just the right amount of heat and smokiness, and the whole thing came together in that perfect comfort‑food way that makes you want to take your time with every bite. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, and the food felt like it was made with care. West Saloon is definitely one of those spots you're happy to stumble into and even happier to return to. read more
Again, I really wanted to like this place more because it's conveniently located in DT Denver, has a really nice theming and ambience (like classic Old West cowboys, saloon, and such). There's some vintage pieces of decor and furniture there. A mix of different textiles, decor on the walls, wallpaper, etc. Definitely wander around to the restroom to get the experience. Service was friendly and decent, despite the lunch rush. Took a bit of time to pay, but it wasn't too bad. We got the: 1) Rocky Mountain Oysters: -It's bull testicles. I've had this, but Chinese style before. These are deep fried, a bit like popcorn chicken or calamari. It comes with spicy tomato and creamy horseradish dipping sauces. -It's a must if you go to Colorado I'm sure since there's not a lot of restaurants that offer this dish in California at the very least. -It's mostly just chewy breading. I know it's expected for this cut of meat, but with how much you get and the eating enjoyment, it's not worth it. Just ok. What I liked best were the small chilies that came with it. Apparently it's a Colorado classic. So that was the benefit of ordering this dish. 2) Pork Green Chili: -Hatch chiles, seared pork, jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro garlic, and served with flour tortillas. -It's a solid chili. Slight slow burn spiciness with the chiles and jalapenos. The pork is nice and moist and absorbed the flavor of the chili very nicely. 3) Pioneer Meat Loaf: -All natural beef and pork blended with roasted veggies, oats, and Guinness stout. It's finished with an apricot glaze and covered with mushroom demi sauce. It comes with potatoes au gratin and crispy fried green beans. -Meat loaf was moist but a tad salty, even with the slight sweetness of the apricot glaze and the earthiness of the mushroom. The green beans were crispy but didn't have that much flavor so this was also sauce fodder for us. Potatoes were yummy though. 4) Elk Meatball Linguine: -It's 3 oversized meatballs made with 50/50 elk and beef blend, mushroom cream sauce, linguine, and some toasted bread. -This just tastes like a somewhat more blander beef stroganoff. Not creamy and not enough sauce. Bread tastes fine, but this added carb added to the dryness when there's not enough sauce to dip it into. We ended up dipping it into the chili instead. -Dish sounds exotic, but I'd skip it. I'm allergic to alcohol so I skipped that and can't comment on it. Food was just okay, if you don't have the option of traveling faraway from the downtown and you want this old Western theming, it works. Just wish the food quality and taste was just a bit up to par more. read more
I went on a Tuesday afternoon when it was slow. Service was fine. Food was average. The best part was the ambience within the restaurant itself. With all the great reviews on yelp I was pretty underwhelmed with the burger. I also got the Colorado chili. It was good, not great. Same with the fries. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Wasn't a bad experience but was just underwhelmed. read more

The food was amazing! The service slow and unfriendly. We had the spinach dip 7.5/10 little heavy but tasty. The wings 10/10 if you like Smokey these were incredible. Fajita salad 8.5/10 has a Spivey kick to it but so good. Chilli 9/10 it' has large Chunks of beef very good! Service was slow and the server barely checked on us. read more
Across From the Mall Nice area to eat, right in the heart of 6th Street. The ribeye was a bit tough to chew, but the pioneer meatloaf and Brussels sprouts were really good. Great iced tea, too. Overall, some hits and misses, but worth trying. read more

Ate here one evening after a long conference day. Its a big restaurant on 26th street mall so lots of tourists or people visiting for conferences. The food is good and service is reasonably fast, but I do thinks its over priced. $25+ for a bowl of pasta...our waiter was very friendly and knew the menu well. They were super busy but he did his best to be attentive. read more

This is located right on 16th street so if you are looking for a great place to eat that is healthy and tasty this is your place. The service was outstanding and quick. They have an outdoor seating area right along 16th if you like to people watch. I had the wedge salad with 3 oz steak. It was just right for a light dinner. We also had the kale and quinoa and the salmon. Everyone loved the food. This was our last night in Denver or we would have gone back. read more
Went for lunch and was a typical bar / restaurant. Sat at the bar. Service was a little slow, but the bartender did appear short staffed. I had the chicken pot pie and it was REALLY good. Portion was on the smaller side, but it was very rich and filling. Will definitely go back. read more
This place is big. Very casual atmosphere with cowboy/Old West theme. They have a brunch menu and a regular one. Went here for lunch and had short rib stroganoff (you would not find this in the brunch menu). It was tender and flavorful, which went well with the egg noodles. I did not think it was super delicious though. Service was good. Giving this place a 4/5. read more

This place is an absolute gem. From the wine and the burger I'm not sure which I enjoyed more . The star of the dinner was definitely the cast iron chicken pot pie. It was delicious! The Cajun pasta was underwhelming compared to the other dishes and the carrot cake was phenomenal. If I ever visit Denver again, this place will be a repeat for me . read more

One thing that my group of friends really wanted to try on this Denver trip was Rocky Mountain Oysters. I can't explain why aside from the urge to try new things. We were looking at Buckthorn but their hours did not fit into our schedule so we landed on a lunch at West Saloon & Kitchen. First, the Rocky Mountain Oysters. You can look them up if you don't know what they are. Some of my friends thought they have the texture of a fried oyster. I thought they had some texture and not much flavor - just a vehicle for eating sauce. By no means a bad dish, but I don't think it's something that is worth extra effort getting to. The other dishes we enjoyed were Elk Meatballs, Cast Iron Chicken Pot Pie, Short Rib Stroganoff, and Colorado Chili. All in the grouping of hearty, comfort food. Most were slightly under seasoned, but nothing that couldn't be fixed at the table. Everyone was happy with their meals except for the person that ordered Cider Roasted Chicken - unfortunately overcooked and on the dry side. read more
My wife and I went to the West Saloon and Kitchen in Denver Colorado for lunch. Greeted with a smile. Sat immediately. Our server Katrina W. Came over. She was very nice and kind. She recommended dishes. We decided on the Brisket sandwich for her. I got the Steak Fritz. Both were delicious. We also ordered the Carrot Cake. It was huge and delicious. We did the outside seating. It was very nice. All in all everything was great. Our server who was expecting was awesome. Great service. It was a great find. We will return. read more

Went here while visiting our son who lives in Denver (Jan. 29th 2026). They had the ABSOLUTE BEST CHICKEN POT PIE & ARTICHOKE DIP I have ever had in my life. I can't express how unique both dishes were compared to what comes to your mind when thinking of these. There were a total of 5 of us and everything that was ordered was good except the Chicken Pot Pie & Artichoke Dip which were out of this world...would highly recommend these 2 dishes. read more

Hi... thinking of bringing my 94 mother down to the restaurant...I notice the bathrooms are downstairs... is there an elevator? Thanks.
Yes! I am here now so asked.. and there is an elevator that goes to the downstairs bathrooms!
Is there parking for this restaurant?
There are off street and parking garage options for the 16th St Mall. If you are ordering take out, or have passenger loading needs, our front door is located on the Glenarm side of our corner and has a designated zone for such uses.
