This was a new experience for me! The restaurant was a lot bigger than I expected and our waitress was very accommodating at the start but that faded through out the visit by not checking on us and our order took longer than expected. The trip to the restroom was an experience that I have never had ever!! It makes a porta-potty smell good! The smell of urine was unbelievably strong and would almost gag you. I have a hard time believing that the restaurant staff wouldn’t done something to find out what was happening and fix that! That is unacceptable for a restaurant health department standpoint!!

We’re from out of town and were happy to stumble upon Rock Bottom Brewery while strolling downtown Denver, especially since they had chicken and fries on the menu for my picky daughter. I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but we actually had a really good experience. I really enjoyed my club sandwich, and my husband liked his burger. My daughter ate all of her chicken and fries and even finished with a kids’ sundae, so that’s a win! The only downside was the cherry limeade cocktail. It didn’t seem to have much alcohol and wasn’t very flavorful. Overall, though, the atmosphere was nice, the service was friendly, and it was a great spot for a relaxed family meal downtown.

Stopped in while in Downtown Denver on my birthday today, during my cross country trip. The service was great. The American Dream was a perfect pairing with the Cobb Salad. Russell had great suggestions on things I needed to see before I left today. Thank you for making my birthday special, Sir!

I came here just for beer, did not eat. When I arrived the outside area was packed but it was pretty much empty inside. I sat at the bar and asked about a flight. They don’t do flights but the have $4 tasters do you can “make your own flight” with tasters. The bartender wasn’t very welcoming, nor did he seem like he wanted to be there. He did get me what I asked for but that was all the interaction despite me being one of three people at the bar. The bar area is just okay. It’s a bit dark in there and nothing special. The beer was also just okay. I liked 3 of the four I ordered but they weren’t anything to write home about. I’d say it was a very average experience. Location couldn’t be better for visitors though. Location is 10/10.
