Fun Place but Watered Down Drinks

by toomuchstuff

Two friends and I went to the Sports Column to watch the baseball game (we had tickets for the following day). We are all female and had several drinks without feeling a thing. We then did shots, I had 5... more than I've ever had before and bearly felt tipsy. BAD!!!

• Pros: Good crowd, good service, nice place to watch sports
• Cons: Mixed drinks were definately watered down... stick with beer

Best Sports Bar in Town!

by Sportsfan1234

This is the best sports bar in town. They cater to all teams and make everyone feel welcome. They have been around forever and have won numerous awards. The one thing they do well is keep out the jerks and rowdies to make your stay more enjoyable. Sure the service is not 100% ALL the time but I have never been anywhere where it is. And I would never wait 2 hours if I had to get to a game, I would have left or asked for a manager in 15 minutes.

• Pros: Service, specials, atmosphere
• Cons: Busy

If your not from denver....

by rootslovah

We're from LA and we flew out to watch a Dodger vs. Rockie game at 110pm. We went to the game and then decided to find a sports bar to watch the Lakers play the Nuggets. I have been to many bars here and in other states to watch games and have met many different fans, but at this bar we were warned for cheering for the Lakers "too loudly" and "bringing too much attention to ourselves" i found it odd that when i asked the owner (who was the one who told us this) if he was going to tell all the other fans in the bar the same thing. He said no, welcome to Denver. This would have been fine had our friend sitting next to us been included in this reprimanding, but alas, he was white and nothing was said to him. Me and my cousin, who is also mexican, were asked to leave because we were "too intoxicated". The sad thing is that we had only had 1 beer and a shot each. When they asked us to leave half of the bar stood up for us and said that we were doing nothing wrong. ALL OF THEM DRESSED IN COLORADO TEAM GEAR!!! I would avoid this bar at all costs and go to Lodos or drink with one of the many hobos Denver has roaming the streets, as it will be a way more fun time!

• Pros: Some hot waitresses
• Cons: Everything else

The worst service

by Nicole417

Before I even got through the doors, there was a big bouncer barking for my ID. I thought he was greeting my family and me, boy was I wrong. After being seated, we waited for our server to get done conversating with her fellow employees. All in all, our quick before the game dinner, turned into almost 2 hours of waiting. We were late to the game because of bad service. The place was not even busy.

Every time I try to give this place a shot, I’m quickly reminded why I hate this place. The people are so rude, and the servers are not good.

• Pros: Lots of T.V's
• Cons: Service, food

Great Bar

by oneamigo

The Sports Column is a great place to eat, drink, or watch sports. Great rooftop balcony for the summer.

Unemployed

The story below could not be farther from the truth. The Sports Column offers great customer service and the managers make sure of it. Ask any employee there and they will tell you that the owner is a stickler for customer service. Although I did have words with this customer, and for this I was terminated, it is a shame that anyone could sign up on here and tarnish the reputation a business has worked so hard to get. You cannot please everybody all of the time and the customer IS NOT always right. I wish people had to wait tables before they were allowed to eat in a restaurant and then they might see what we have to deal with and what we get paid $4 to do. We are all human and we do make mistakes! This is the type of person that is looking for a handout and that you probably wouldn't be able to please no matter how hard you tried.

Worst service ever

by 3207

While meeting with me brother at the bar for the UFC fight my brother and his friend were drinking beer. I came about 8 p.m. and my brother offered to pay for my two drinks about 9 p.m. We were VERY nice to the waitress (Becca) she was very rude and threw the bill onto our table (did not thank us or even ask if we were still drinking). We were not tabing out simply paying for our drinks separately. My brother because of her attitude only tipped 10%. She grabbed the bill looked at it in front of us shook her head and got very upset. The next time she was near our table I VERY politely asked if she would get us more drinks ant that I would pay for them and tip better. She started to walk away and said, "get your f&#$ing drinks at the bar". I told her I wanted to see he manager and she ignored me. I asked again and she said, "I don't give a sh&t who you tell." pointed out her manager and said, "he won't do anything, go ahead." After speaking to the manager she came over to us and started attacking me again. Telling me that my brother was cheap and that she wouldn't serve us. Her manager simply said he would talk to her, did not apologize or get us anymore drinks. She, for the next hour pointed us out to other customers and mummered insults under her breathe. Never will I go to this bar again

• Pros: nice tv's
• Cons: Terrible Service, young management, no authority, customer's not first

Had a great time!

by smiller560

Just happened to stop in over the weekend. What a great place. The place was packed with Iowa Hawkeye fans cheering for their team. The service was great, the beer was cold. The bartenders were great. Will be first stop next time I we're back in Denver.

• Pros: Atmosphere

Laaaaaaaaame

by loulerbell

$1 you call it Thursdays are hideous. If all you care about is getting drunk cheaply, then by all means, this place is for you....granting you can get to the ridiculously over crowded bar. It smells like beer and urine and it takes about an hour to get across the bar. I've only been there Thursday nights, so I really can't comment on any other time there, but I hate it with a burning passion...

• Pros: cheap thursday drinks
• Cons: Everything else

Service with a smile!

by idrnkalone

I typically go out solo and observe. Love to people watch. I disagree with the previous review. Yes Sports Column has great atmosphere and drink specials but NO there service is not lousy. I know the GM or owner is constantly making sure service is second to none because i over hear him talk to his staff and take care of his customers. Only downside is that sometimes it gets too loud - music and crazy sports fans. If you haven't been - you must go!

• Pros: SERVICE
• Cons: Loud
