Never again

by bpiper1

I became a member of this site for the sole reason of giving the Irish Rover a terrible review. I stopped in with a few friends for the 2 for 1 special a week ago. Everything seemed decent when we got there. Then we realized how small of a bar it was. Sitting at the bar, while 20 or so drunk people proceeded to order drinks from behind us, and the bartender would pass them over our heads. That wasn't too bad, dealable at least. Then after finishing the first round of drinks and wanting another, the bartender completely ignored us! After about 10 minutes of trying to order another drink we decided it was time to pay the tab and go. BUT the bartender wouldn't even pay enough attention for us to pay him! Not wanting to leave with out paying, we did everything we could to get his attention, but to no avail. So we didn't even pay and I'd still say it's one of the worst bars I've been to in Denver.

• Pros: 2 for 1 drinks
• Cons: Horrible service. Tiny and stuffy location

Not impressed

by firetosser

I only went the one time a few weeks back, but I don't plan to ever visit again. It's a small place and it was sooo stuffy I couldn't breathe. I was in there for maybe 10 minutes and I had to go outside to get some fresh air before I even had a drink! And really, in general, a poor example of an Irish bar period. If you're going for the Irish vibe, go somewhere else for sure.

What a great place!

by pjparty

Was in town on business from Palm Beach and stopped in on a whim. They had a great menu and everyone was so nice and helpful. When I come back, this place will be a must. Was very pleasantly surprised. (Now I have a favorite bartender - NY!)

• Pros: The people that work here.
• Cons: Was only visiting from out of town.

Knock back a few pints at this casual Irish pub nestled in the historic Baker neighborhood.

In Short
The pub's dark-wood paneling and exposed-brick walls are lined with signed soccer jerseys and pictures of old pub musicians. A jukebox constantly blasts everything from U2 and Van Morrison to traditional Irish tunes--it's only unplugged when Celtic folk bands take over. In addition to the quintessential pint of beer, the bar also serves wine and cocktails. Customers with the munchies can chow on pizza, chicken wings or artichoke dip.
