- Casey DuncanMay 18, 2014You like beer? You'll find it here. They have 52 beers on tap. If beer is not your thing, don't fret. The Thirsty Lion offers a full wine list, along with several cocktail options.
ShycuAugust 16, 2014First time here. Ordered Waldorf salad, pear cider and a grape fruit basil martini for dessert. Everything was so tasty. The Waldorf salad had smoked chicken with. a kick. Perfect with the sweet apple
Stephanie LandinApril 30, 2014Large space and brand new, the bar is cool! The prices are moderate if you are used to being downtown. Great for groups and seeing the downtown scene now at Union Station.
Michael TidermanJune 1, 2014This place is great!! Nice variety of draft beer, service was outstanding, and food tasty & nicely portioned. We didn't leave hungry!
Upvoted Apr 9- Erin GMarch 8, 2015St. Patrick's day beer flight of stouts & porters was perfect. Can't wait to go back and try some of the delicious looking food!
Usaj RealtyMay 23, 2014Romano herb crusted chicken, amazing French fries and the NW burger, all must haves. Oh, and the 52 beers in tap.
Glenn HarrisMarch 3, 2015The soup and salad special at lunch looked like a good deal. The Caesar salad that I had was great. The spicy mac and cheese was delicious but was very spicy.
Alex HunterJune 21, 2022Elevated bar food! Feels silly to call out a Caesar Salad but here we are - it hit the spot. Also the cauliflower bites, Queso, and soft pretzel.- Kaila MazzyMay 7, 2016This place is to die for. Great beer selection and delicious food, get the turkey club. A tad pricey but worth the dough.
Great food and good beer selection. Service was a bit slow, but it was busy before a Rockies game. Beer soup was awesome.
Great happy hour!! Try the Brussels sprouts, delish. Also get a glass of wine. Biggest $4 glass I've ever seen. Awesome!
Bryan WalkerMarch 8, 2015Based on what I read, this place has come a long way in terms of service. Fish and chips were great. Get a beer flight!
Abby WilsonAugust 9, 2014Contrary to prior reviews, the fries are actually not very good—tastes like they've been sitting for 3 days! Pizza and spicy margarita are way good though!!! Service is phenomenal!!!
Great Moscow mules and the appetizers are awesome! Loved the potato cakes!
Justin BlantonJune 14, 2019Best chicken fingers I’ve ever had. Chicken fingers? Yep. Just order them.
Get the French Fries. They take 3 days to make them and you can tell they are amazing!- Sometimes the service can be a bit slow, but overall a good spot for a beer.
Mike StarkJuly 18, 2014Wow - I am so torn: the food was very good, but the service was terrible. For a moment we thought we were on "Punked", but I guess the server just hates his job. What a douche!
Ashleigh McBethApril 26, 2014We were there on sample night actually not too bad except we had to request water twice.
Kell Peplau-KaiserJuly 27, 2014The fish and chips were quite good, but the bar was very very slow to get drinks out.
Larry TurnerSeptember 1, 2014Service is poor. Not sure how this place will stay open in the long run
Matt AdamsJune 10, 2016Alcohol is the only good thing here. And Lauren A is the only good bartender. I waited 7 minutes at the bar while the other bartenders standing 4 feet away didn't even acknowledge me.
