Wynkoop Brewing Company

Wynkoop Brewing Company is a big, buzzy spot right by Union Station with loads of seating and that classic American brewpub feel. Easy, relaxed, and exactly what you want for a quick pit stop after a day wandering around the city. So much that we ended up there twice during our time in Denver! The beer list is great, with a good mix of their own brews and guest taps. I had the Hazer Tag NEIPA, which was super hoppy with really bright passionfruit and citrus notes – very much my kind of beer. Food-wise, the Wynkoop burger is the one to order: properly comforting, juicy, and ideal with a cold pint. We happened to visit when they had a dark beer event on upstairs (the “Day of Darks”), which was cool. And seems they also do a really good weekday lunch deal ($15 for a cheeseburger, fries and a pint). On another visit, we shared a few bar snacks: elote dip, nachos and fried pickles. All tasty (though the elote dip was a touch salty for my liking), and the portions were… genuinely enormous. Or maybe we still need to get used to US serving sizes 😅 All in all, a really solid, no-fuss Denver stop for good beer, hearty food and a lively atmosphere – the kind of place you’re glad to have on your list when you just want something easy and reliably good. 🍻

Wynkoop was very busy when I visited on. Saturday before a Rockies/Cubs game. There was tons of Cubs fans packing the place so I don't know if my review is fair as to what you could experience. There is lots of space to sit, both inside and out but my party and I were just there for a drink so we stood. On ball game days, drafts are an amazing $4, which is hard to beat. I went with their Rail Yard Ale and thought it was very fresh and easy to drink. There is a full service kitchen and the food that I saw people eating looked very appetizing. Certainly a place to visit before going to a Rockies game with that great beer deal.

The food was very fresh & portions were large. It was super busy (@ home Broncos game) so food took a while but the servers were attentive & friendly. Large selection of beer & varied menu. Great location across from Union Station. We will be back!

Did not try the food. Just walked in for a couple of beers while waiting for our reservation nearby. Friendly staff. They had a nice selection of in house beers on tap. When I asked about the beer flights I was told that I could just choose any 4 I wanted. They had a nice upstairs area with plenty of pool tables, seating, and TV screens.
