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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

In short beer was good food was not. We started with a pretzel which was good. The beer cheese sauce was delicious. I then had a bison burger medium and it was very well done, thin burger, dried out bread. The beer I had was very good. The restaurant itself was nothing special, just a pub like atmosphere. 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

Also the upstairs has a cool billiard room with pinball machines. We will definitely be back here! Cheers 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

Honestly don't know why this place isn't rated higher. Food was great, the bartender on the second floor was cool, knowledgeable and polite. This place is huge, good food, great beers, pool table, darts, pin ball machines... chill vibe. My advice, go to the second floor, order your meal and drinks at the bar. Find a good seat by the pool tables and enjoy the vibe. Highly recommend, hope I get another opportunity to come back again. 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

Wynkoop Brewing - The GF honed her skills in her youth. Time to play! - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

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

Super fun little brewery! The staff were all super friendly, they have good music, late night happy hour, and some pool tables as well!

I'd recommend if you're in the area! read more

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

Entry was a bit confusing. Once we got in, we noticed the many drafts. Service was friendly & welcoming. It did take a lil while to be greeted. 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

I'm told this is the oldest brewery in Denver. Across street from Denver Union Station, so it is super easy as a first step into the city after taking the train from the airport - cheaper than Uber and prob easier. I tried a few beers and found the Pitcher Perfect IPA was the one for me - at least out of their standard IPA and Pales. It was mild to medium hoppy, clean with a unique flavor that was worth the visit. The others were all a bit of a hoppy 'Amber-esc' for my taste and not reminiscent of these types. Reminds me of beer IPAs in Texas more than the west coast, which I think is the gold standard for them. Call me what you will. Worth a visit for the history, atmosphere and ease. read more

We came here during a storm to find a quick bite to eat, and were quickly disappointed. We started with the elote dip which was pretty good and the carnitas tacos were mediocre.

Cool, lively sports bar with decent service. The Brewer's Burger (3.5/5): More flavorful than the bison burger but still a bit dry. The fries weren't great. Bison Burger (3/5): Pretty plain and dry, but edible. Again, the fries missed the mark. Loaded Green Chili Fries with Shredded Pork (3/5): The pork was dry, and the fries weren't much better. The sauces were okay. Overall, it was a good experience for watching sports, and I'd come back for the atmosphere. 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

We stopped in for a snack and some beer after a tour outside of Denver. The bartop was quiet and we were greeted promptly by the bartender when we sat down. I honestly don't remember the beer I had, but it was decent. What I definitely remember is how much I loved the loaded green chile fries. They were so flavorful and the pork was so tender.

I had an odd experience here to start. To end it they completely stopped serving me despite me only having two high noons. I was with a relatively large group playing, pool, drinking, etc. And randomly out of nowhere I get told by one of my friends that the bartender said I'm cut off. (I am also crushing in pool at this time) So me, being in disbelief , because surely there is no way I'm cut off, go up to the bartender , and she lets me know I am indeed cut off due to being associated with that large party. I told her no problem, I totally understand, I don't want her to get in trouble or anything like that & to have a great rest of her night. To end the night, Mr. Mustache man (Wario from Mario) whips it up out of nowhere like a ninja, confiscates my only allowable drinks because I was cut off (despite those being the drinks I originally ordered). Full transparency, the place was very cool. I enjoyed the pool, the drinks & pretty much all of it. But I dislike the fact that I got cutoff randomly for being associated with party/individual that was cut off. That does not make sense to me. Additionally, the fact that they stole my original drinks that I literally paid for was the cherry on top of me not having a great experience. All in all , 5/5 spot. 1/5 service. Unprofessional staff. read more

My wife and I just had our reception at Wynkoop, and the staff were all amazing and made it an incredibly wonderful and memorable night! Nathan helped us book the place and answered all of our questions so quickly and SO thoroughly! The staff set up the Morey-Brown room, plus a good amount of space outside of the room for our 50 guests. The in-house catering was beautiful and delicious. Brian and Zach were our wait staff that night, and they were on top of everything! They were so courteous and helpful the whole time.

We always recommend Wynkoop Brewing as one of our go-to restaurants for when family and friends visit. It's one of the best restaurants within walking distance from Union Station. It's also a good restaurant to get a good variety of food or a change of atmosphere. Main level you've got your bar or dining area, then upstairs there's more tables and pool. Food is always great and served very quickly! All the food came out so fast our whole table was full. Only request would be for more water. We only had 1 refill on a hot summer day with tons of food, so if this happens to you don't forget to ask for more when you see your waiter/waitress! read more

Wynkoop Brewing - Pretzel with Beer cheese and Mustard Patty Melt with Fries Spicy Edamame - Pool Halls Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was one of the most average brewery's I have ever been to. The beer selection was ok. Not a ton of options. We visited several hours before a Rockies game and it was not busy. We were seated in the patio, which was small but nice. We ordered a couple of beers, they were good. We did order some food...bison burgers (which tasted just like a hamburger) and the chicken and waffle. The bison burger seemed like it was a frozen patty, but for $19 I'd assume a hand pressed patty. It was ok at best. The chicken and waffle was very good. The batter was light and golden, the waffle was light and fluffy, but the beer infused maple syrup was insanely good. I could have just drank that! Overall, I wouldn't recommend or not-recommend this place. read more

Continuing on in Denver, we found this brewery which was recommended to me by multiple people on Reddit. It was a hot day, about 92° if I recall, and the mile long walk to get there was a little rough. We went inside and I was surprised to see how gorgeous it is. It is truly a must see if you go to Denver. We bullied up to the bar and immediately the bartender brought us some cold ice water. We sampled a couple of beers and made our choices as well as our sandwiches for our lunch and holy cow. My funky chicken sandwich was incredible. I will definitely go back if I am in the area again and encourage everybody to go see this place. read more
