What People Are Saying About Tavern Uptown

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – Dark paneled walls and white crown molding create homey touches that say "living room" more than tavern. Thirteen TVs constantly display live sporting events--not that anyone's watching. Instead, urban professionals who live in nearby condos are busy bellying up to the bar, playing pool or foosball, or warming up by the stone fireplace on a plush leather couch. Good burgers, dips and chips supply the added bonus of a decent meal.

Meet me on the patio!!!

by brendah27

-To me, summer means kicking back on a patio the second I get off work. i find myself making my way over to Tavern Uptown 2 or 3 out of 5 times. They've got a really great happy hour and it lasts till 7 which is longer than most places. And how cool is it that they have a big garden and a fish pond by the patio! Definitely not your typical gross bar feel.

  • Pros: Best patio in Denver
  • Cons: It can get really crowded

My Home Away From Home

by mattyrocket

I moved to Denver about a year ago from Chicago, and one of the first bars I came to was the Uptown Tavern. It reminds of some places I used to go to back home, but also has a very Colorado feel to it. Best Things about it: PATIO and mini-bowling. Hands down. The happy hour is a good deal too. One down side for some is that it gets pretty packed, but I'm very social so I don't mind that. I've just had some co-workers that weren't about it. Fish tacos are amazing too. Definitely a place to check out.

Kobe sliders are the best in the city!

by bgishwiller

Not to brag, but I'm a conneissour (sp?) of Kobe sliders and the ones at Tavern Uptown are A-mazing. You can't just have one. I order them every single time I go. My other favorite thing is the guacamole which you can tell they make fresh. I only live a mile away, so this is one of my hangouts and has been for about 3 years. My only suggestion is they put little plaques on the bar (I saw this somewhere before) with the names of all the regulars. I'd definitely be on there!!

  • Pros: Great food and atmosphere
  • Cons: None
