Veggie Shepherd's Pie is outstanding, and relatively healthy. I enjoyed that with one of their in-house beers, while watching the Dodgers at Rockies on the screens. The restaurant has three floors. We sat on the main floor in the middle, overlooking the lower downtown streets below. The vibe was casual and cheerful. We sat at a table near the bar. The bartender initially provided menus and took our drink order. After that, we had to approach the bar to order food and get our check. It wasn't crowded enough to let them off the hook for this, so I provided feedback to the manager on duty, on our way out. He provided us with some cards for complimentary draft beers. read more

Great location being right across the street from Union Station and a few streets down from coors field where the Rockies play. The service and food were excellent as well, they do a great job with their pizza, the outdoor seating area is a nice place to sit on a warm spring day. My only gripe was the beer, I hate to say it but my 4 beer flight was below average. I tried their Lager, New England ipa, Red Ale & something else and sadly they all felt kind of flat or bland. As I mentioned before great service and food, but I had this place on my list to try because it was one of the few breweries in downtown & I was interest in checking out some local beers, but these weren't it. read more

I went there on a Saturday night the night of the broncos vs. bills football game at 630pm. The place was packed as they have TVs for watching sports games. There was a wait for a table. I checked in with the host and was told there was going to be a 15-20 minute wait. We arrived shortly after the game was over so luckily people were leaving. The bar seating was full. The atmosphere was loud and lively. They have multiple TVs around the bar and in the standard dining area. We were seated fairly quickly with the 15-20 minute window. I ordered the Wynkoop bison burger. I was visiting Denver and heard about the different meats Denver has for burgers such as elk and deer so I decided to try something different than the normal beef patty and ordered the bison burger. The Wynkoop burger has a natural colorado bison patty, smoked gouda, pickled onions, green chili mayo, and arugula all on a brioche bun. The burger had a sweet taste to it due to the brioche bun. I asked for it medium well and it wasn't pink and wasn't overcooked. Some places when you ask for medium well the patty ends up being burnt and tough which I don't like. The patty was tender. The combination of flavors was good. It had green chill mayo on the bun. Denver is known for green chili and I wanted to try some green chile dishes. It was tasty. There were options for the sides for coleslaw or fries. I opted to sub for a salad instead for an extra $2. Our group also ordered the green chili fries and it was a big portion. The fries were smothered with white queso, pork green chili, cotija, lime crema, and cilantro. The green chile queso addition was interesting as there were chunks of green chile and tomatoes pieces that added a bit of acidity to the fries but with the queso it was delicious! The service was good and the waiter checked in with us multiple times. Overall, I would recommend this place for the burgers. The food was good and it was comfort American food. If you like sports this place is great to watch sports with friends and is good for groups which is an added plus! read more

Came here for an outing with our teachers' group and it was okay. We had a mini buffet of brisket, pulled pork, green beans, and Mac and cheese, and macaroni salad. I was kind of hoping for a real salad and that there would be some sort of dessert but there wasn't. We were offered one drink from the bar and since I'm not into beer or ales I got a Malibu bay breeze instead. The servers were quick at getting people in our groups drinks and clearing plates. I know it's not the restaurant's fault at what was served so I'm not blaming them. What we did have on the buffet was good. I went up 2 times for more green beans and Mac n cheese. read more

Meh. I was a tad disappointed in this place. On a positive note, the service was excellent! The beer list didn't have a lot of variety, and the ones I had were a bit bland. Got the giant soft pretzel, and the pretzel was very good, but the cheese sauce didn't have much flavor either. So, go for the great service! read more

Wynkoop Brewing - Flight - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Wynkoop Brewing is a fun spot to stop at for some drinks and/or activities. The food can be hit or miss at times. The venue is huge and I've been to several events here for that reason, they have rentable areas. And check out the Happy Hour specials. On weekends it's a zoo! You may not get a chance to play pool or anything else as they have no time limits. I also was rather disgusted that the dude who's in control of the pool waiting list was on the take and expecting me to give him money to move up the list -- gross. The billiards are all upstairs! The testicle beer is actually pretty good, come on give it a try! :) Also, pro tip -- these are the best fried pickles I've had in Denver! They're spears (better than coins which can be paper thin and mostly breading), the breading stays on, and they come with a spicy ranch dipping sauce. I had to remake a home version of these because I was craving them so bad one night! Other food again, can range from average to below average. read more

The place is nice. Large and lots of activities to do. Attended an event there and they provided a buffet and coat racks. Parking garage across the street makes it more convenient. We had the entire upstairs where the pool tables, darts, PacMan game and table shuffleboards are. Bar of course and restrooms. The servers were helpful and came around to check on us. Food was not what made the place good. But if you want to hang out with friends and enjoy music and games, this is the place. I really enjoyed their music selection and playing darts. The restrooms were clearly labelled so we knew which ones were not in working order. Clean. First time here and I'd recommend it. read more

This place is HUGE. It has multiple floors with seating, bars, and pool tables available. We were seated by the windows on the main floor for a group of three. They offer pretty standard food for a pub, appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, salads, soups, pizza, and some more substantial meals like shepherd's pie, salmon, pork chops, fish tacos, and a few other dishes. I opted for the Chicken and Bacon Salad ($16.50) and a cup of Wynkoop beer cheese soup ($7). The portion sizes are pretty generous, especially with the soup. The cup portion was much bigger than I thought, and I'm so glad I didn't order the bowl of soup. The salad was fresh and it had a good amount of toppings. The soup was very rich and filling. Next time I would probably share. Our server was nice, attentive, and made sure our drinks were filled. The bathrooms are upstairs (I had to ask after wondering the wrong way). We were there when it was quiet, but from the space it looks like it can get crowded and busy. read more

I absolutely love Wynkoop! It's my go to before every sporting event. Rockies, Avs, Broncos, Nuggets you name it. JOSH B. This dude absolutely made our night. Service was so genuine and kind. I'll continue coming back and always look forward to it. read more

You can't not check out a brewery while in Denver! I stopped by Wynkoop Brewing while exploring downtown, right next to Union Station. The classic beers here are solid and definitely worth trying (get a flight of them!). I also ordered a flight of their winter seasonals, and honestly, that one didn't hit for me. No hard feelings though, since I was mainly here for a drink. If I make it back, I'll definitely pair a beer with some food next time. Great spot for a relaxed downtown brewery experience! read more

I actually went here for the first time about a decade ago and not much has changed (in a good way). I really love the layout and vibe of this place! One, we're suckers for pool bars. Two, big fan of how much wood was used in the build. Three, there's two stories which helps separate those who wanna hang with some drinks/food and those who want to play pool. The food is simple, but good. Pretty much what you'd expect from a pool bars. I personally thought the beers were solid in contrast to some other's reviews. Also, super unique name! read more

Out of town visitors. Caught a baseball game & went here before. Busy but was able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast, bartender was friendly. Beers were on special before the game $4. Food was decent. Nashville hot chicken came on waffles. Caesar salad was fine- nothing special. All the beers we tried were tasty. Bar was loud as it was prior to game. Game was on the tvs. It was warm inside- needed more AC. read more

Good spot for food before a Rockies game, it's only a few blocks to walk to the ball park. Before games they are busy so get there early. Unfortunately we got seated in a back area that was the go to place for families - lots of kids and the server was swamped. Tacos were solid. The Caesar salad is huge. The street corn was pretty good but didn't come with enough chips. The margarita pizza wasn't fully cooked in the middle so that was a miss. If you are into craft beer then check it out. I'm not a beer drinker but they clearly have a lot of options. read more

The service was ok, they took our order timely but never came back to check if food was ok or if we needed anything. read more

Visiting for the weekend and we had to hit up a brewery. We were quickly greeted and seated. This place is huge, lots of seating areas. Our server was friendly and made some recommendations. We ordered the elote dip(should call this the elite dip), pretzel with cheese, dry rub wings, and a burger. We went the classics. The food was good but the one that stood out was the dip. Overall it was a good place but the food wasn't a game changer for me. Definitely a good spot for a drink and catching up though. read more

We stopped in for a beer on the recommendation of our tour guide from the previous day, and he definitely didn't steer us wrong! I loved the decor, particularly the tin ceiling. The beer list was impressive and it was hard to decide but I went with the LoDo IPA and it was excellent! Staff were friendly and really helpful as we all worked to select our beverages. As a bonus, beers were only $4 since there was a game at Coors Field! This is an amazing deal and makes this the perfect place to stop in before a game even if you're not attending. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Denver. read more

Walked here from the convention center. Interesting set up with bar and pool tables upstairs and dining tables downstairs. Our server Francis was very knowledgeable and gave good suggestions on food. Had a funny experience where one of the servers on the steps stumbled and the next thing I knew it was raining French fries. No harm done. The fried pickles were the best I've ever had, which is why I was a little sad that the batter was not nearly as tasty on the fish and chips (which I ordered bc Francis told me they won an award. My companion had a flight of very dark beers (although they list a preselected flight, you can also craft your own) and a burger of some sort. There was no room in our tummies for the richness of the desserts offered (peanut butter mousse pie, crème brûlée and the like. All in all it was a very enjoyable meal. read more

We were seeking legit pool tables (and a snack) and Wynkoop was it! Good afternoon fun upstairs playing on the standard size billiard table (larger than bar-size). My GF had to exercise her pool-savvy skills gained in her youth! Multiple large and regular size table options on the second floor of a classic building. Pretty sure Wynkoops was an early presence in the Denver brew-pub scene. Decent food and beer options, of which we opted to split a fish n chips (crisped up a bit). The staff at this place were super friendly and welcoming, notably "Syracuse Josh" upstairs. Good times! read more

Nice spot for a drink and some of the usual pub fare, if you're in this part of Denver. Wynkoop has an interesting story -- be sure to ask about the pronunciation of the street out front versus the eponymous bar, it's a fun piece of history about the place. Lots of seating, and a good number of beers on tap. Otherwise, a pretty standard bar that will get the job done if you're in need of a pit stop or a more low key meal. read more

Wynkoop Brewing - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

It's a beautiful day in Denver, with lots of people sitting outside, enjoying the nice temperature. My husband and I chose to sit inside at the bar and that was a great decision. Our server has been amazing. I told her I wasn't feeling great, and she brought me a complementary Gingerale with bitters in it- definitely has helped me feel better. That was a nice perk that she did for me! We started with the soft pretzel, and it's probably one of the best, fresh, hot pretzels I've had in a while. It came with a nice portion of beer cheese and yellow mustard. We couldn't finish it because it was a huge portion, but I really wanted to because it was so delicious! My husband had the classic burger with a side of the loaded, baked potato soup- which he really enjoyed. I had the pizza with thyme ricotta and mushroom. I loved my pizza as well. Evidently, the pizzas are new on the menu and they've been trying out different dough recipes, and the one they have right now is really tasty. Everyone is so friendly here, they have a ton of different beers on tap, and delicious cocktails as well. I will definitely be back, the next time I'm in Denver! read more

We were in search of a spot to hang and lunch at before heading to the airport and thankfully a family friend recommended Wynkoop Brewing. I scoped out their website and found this well-written description of the brewery and restaurant: "Wynkoop is Colorado's First Brewpub, home to tastemakers and rulebreakers, bushwhackers and envelope pushers. For almost three decades we've been brewing handcrafted beer in our modest basement brewery underneath Denver's largest pool hall." For a brewpub, this place is massive! We started on the first floor by sharing a large pretzel as a group. I also ordered the Shepherd's Pie which is the perfect comfort food for a cold day out. I washed it all down with a quality craft beer flight. I don't recall our server's name but he was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. After our meal, we ventured upstairs to shoot some pool. The second floor is equally as spacious and besides plenty of billiards tables, they also offer darts and shuffleboard. We had a good time and Wynkoop impressed me as a fine establishment so I'll def visit again if I'm ever back in Denver! read more

This place is SUPER cool. My fiancé had been here years ago. But I never had. I was told I'd love it so I figured I'd give it a shot. We wish we could've spent more time there. It's across from Union Station, so easy to get to. Very cool, industrial area. It's a massive brewery. The downstairs has tours where you can learn how they brew their beer. Mid floor is tables and a bar. Top floor was where we hung out. Tons of pool tables. Free until 4pm too! Drinks were reasonably priced. The bartender we had was super nice. Recommended some beers. For bar food it wasn't bad. I got the shrimp taco. My fiancé got the hummus plate and chips and guac. All were yummy. For it being happy hour I'd say it was a good deal. Not sure if I'd wanna pay full price. But overall it was a place I'd hang out if I lived in Denver. Great vibe. Cool history. Definitely my kind of spot. Excited to go back! read more

Once we did, we were offered samples & given recommendations. Plenty of options but not overwhelming. We enjoyed our selections. Spacious bar & seating area. They may need an area/ room for larger parties. It was too chilly to sit outside & there was a group that was obnoxiously loud. My friend & I could barely hear each other speak. We didn't try the food. read more

This was going to be my last CO brewery (for this trip). My wife thought we were taking a Capital tour, and we did, but Wynkoop was my objective. In fact it was mentioned on the tour. Apparently a former mayor owned the brewery that once occupied this building. Pretty nice menu. Was not expecting so many food options. Our server Mac C, was very helpful with the menu, and the beer. The burger was very good, and the spicy hummus outstanding. After I ate, I roamed the building. Wow, I was not expecting a pool hall upstairs. I wish I had time to try more beers, but the Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout is one I will remember for a while. I kind of wish I had bought the t-shirt (see picture). read more

We needed to kill some time between the Coors Field tour and the Colorado Avalanche game at Ball Arena. We wandered into this place. It was great! Plenty of TV's. Staff members are laid back but attentive. I asked if the Green Pork Chili was spicy. She said... "That depends. Where are you from?" I thought that was funny. It's got a kick, and it's really good. Amazing Happy Hour specials for $5, $6, $7, plus $2 off their own great draft beers! What a bargain!! Plenty of seating downstairs. Tons of pool tables upstairs. Check it out if you're in the area. If you're not in the area, make the trip! read more

I stopped in here on a trip to Denver and had a couple of food items and the beer. Both were excellent. The pretzel is huge and had spicy mustard and cheese sauce. It was steaming hot and chewy. The pork green chili was very spicy and in a huge bowl. A great value. The beers were excellent, as always. I prefer the darker beers, so your choices might be different, but the ones I had were excellent. Convenient located near the union station commuter rail line! read more
