It was my birthday yesterday, so we went to a place I never been to before. The food was delicious good drinks and they even brought out a dessert and the whole staff signed a birthday card for me. I thought that was the sweetest thing ever. I would recommend to anyone!!!
First time great ambiance, sports bar, big place no wait, food, staff and drinks outstanding. Highly recommend it.
Great food! We ate here twice on a trip to Denver and will make a point to eat here again in future trips. Not only is the food delicious but the atmosphere was delightful. We loved sitting outside, covered from sun or rain and watching the kids playing in the nearby fountain.
My dad celebrated his 87th birthday yesterday and we went to this place...the food was great and when I told the wait staff that it was his birthday, he got a free desert and they all signed a card and gave it to him..this place is definitely a keeper!
The food was above average bar food (the fries were seasoned exceptionally well) and the outdoor patio looking over at the fountain was a nice view. I would go again if I travel back to Denver.
From the Scotch Eggs to the Shepherds Pie to the pizza, everything was great. We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a new place. The Thirsty Lion did not disappoint. When we a are back in downtown Denver, we will definitely be back. Oh yeah, the waitstaff is awesome as well.
This is one hopping place on Friday night. We got seated right away. I had the gastropub burger. It was amazing!! My husband had the french dip. Also amazing. Its a little loud for talking but super energetic nightlife. Service was outstanding!
Best cheeseburger I have ever had!! Great place to hang out, have a drink and some awesome food!
Enjoyed lunch with friends - flights of beer, hummus appetizer & pizza- Cara our server was WONDERFUL!
I would definitely return! Great atmosphere, food & service! Thanks for a GOID TIME!
My wife and I have eaten at the Thirsty Lion numerous times. It’s our go to place when we want something quick and easy in Denver. It’s typically easy to find parking nearby and most of the time there is no wait.
The food is great and there is a wide variety of choices. In my opinion, they have the best poke in Denver. I love it! The atmosphere is fun and there are TVs around if you are interested in watching sports. During the warm months, there is outdoor seating as well. It’s fun to sit outside and people watch while enjoying your meal!
They have a nice beer selection and the service is always great. We’ve never had a bad experience. If you are in the Union Station area, this is a great choice to have lunch or dinner, or just enjoy a beer. I highly recommend you give it a try!
Always the best for people watching! And great menu from everything American, Mexican and Asian! Union Station is such a beautiful place with the fountains. Increased security for everyone’s safety. Easy parking.
The food was amazing! We sat out on the patio and really enjoyed the large serving sizes. It was a tad long wait for our food. Almost 45 minutes for a 15% full restaurant, but we were taken care of and had fun.
Recently visited Thirsty Lion Gastropub in Denver and was blown away by their menu. The gojijang pork was perfectly cooked, with a delightful balance of spicy and sweet flavors, while the kimchi fried rice added a zesty, flavorful kick. The Scotch egg was another highlight, with its crispy exterior and savory, soft center. To top it off, their Moscow Mules were exceptionally refreshing, making for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend for a fusion of great flavors and a cozy atmosphere.
Good food, typical bar atmosphere. Normal wait. We came here while waiting for our train, and were pleasantly surprised at the location at the recommendation of a friend.
Lively atmosphere and good food. We stopped here for dinner before a show at the Ball Arena. Restaurant is an 8 minute walk away from the venue. We made a reservation for 4:30 and were seated on time however the place was starting to fill up by the time we were leaving for the show about an hour later.
Staff here were friendly and attentive with no issues. Menu is decent but not large so I would check it out before settling on this as your spot for the night.
We opted for starters as dinner and were very happy with the quality of the food. Everything came out as ordered and on time. The Scotch Eggs were delicious!
The beer/wine selction is ample and the full bar looked to be able to mix-up pretty much any cocktail you could desire. The seating area seemed large to me and had a mixture of booths and tables as well as bar seating.
We had a good time here and would definitely come back.
My salad was good, they tossed it in dressing, well mixed, and the flavors were just right! We also got the queso with chips, it’s was cheesy and satisfying. They have a great drink menu and atmosphere.
This place has perfect atmosphere and the food is delicious and good portioned. I order the spicy chicken with salad and my husband got the gastropub burger. The cocktail I’m not sure 😅 but hour server is so good and always smelling I forgot his name but he wears glasses.
Came to get a scotch egg, it was phenomenal! First one that I've had and I'm a big fan. Great service and a nice space in a nice part of downtown.
Tara went above and beyond making sure that the 5 of us was were well taken care. From the moment we sat down and providing us with water and cocktails to helping us order the exact right thing off the menu. The ahi salad was awesome with the Thai Peanut vinaigrette. Thanks so much for making this a great experience!
If you have a hankering for some delicious quality food and a great pub selection then this is the place to go downtown. My wife and I shared the Poke dish and my mother-in-law had the most decadent fish and chips fish. The crisp on the fish was amazing and the Poke was fresh! Look no further than the perfect mid week date night!
It's right next to union station. We got a table on Sunday lunch time really quickly.
The food was okay. I had fish and chips. The beer batter was super thick and I got full eating half of the plate. My husband had a burger. It was pretty good. Great selection of beer. Good service. I can't complain.
Pretty good food
Very limited veggie options on the menu
Nice staff, good cocktails
The music was really good, our waitress was super nice and the food was delicious. The fried calamari was not our favorite and we will not order it again, but the fried rice it's delicious (the pork it's spicy) and the burger was magnificent.
Wonderful experience. We were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was Julia and we were pleased with the way she took care of us.
The food was delicious!! The desert was too.
Great experience for our first time here.
Loved sitting outside and watching kids play in the fountains. Happy hour food and drinks were great!!
