This restaurant offers a nice selection of dishes for lunch or dinner, all reasonably priced. We each chose a different bowl topped off with chicken or salmon. All were delicious. Curiously for a brewery there were no beers listed on the men, although they were supplied when requested. Prompt and friendly service completed a pleasant dining experience.

We went here for lunch after walking about Larimer Square area and we enjoyed our food and drink. It took over ten minutes before a host seated us. He apologized and said they were very short staffed just like many other establishments in the business. We order two of the special IPA beers and these were delicious! We also order chicken tenders and the Mediterranean Bowl and both were prepared well and were tasty. It was an enjoyable experience as we were lucky to have the host as our server and his service was extremely good given how short handed they were. Well worth a visit!

Wife and I stopped here for dinner while exploring downtown Denver. Super friendly staff, great beer selection, and good food. Fish tacos and nachos were great. Molly's Brown Ale was very good too. We came back the next night for some drinks at the bar. Reasonable prices and great service. We'll definitely come back when we return to Denver.

We chose this location to celebrate our daughter's birthday with friends and family both from Denver and from out of town. We had approximately 14 people in our party and requested a table to accommodate us all. Ended up with a table for 12 and a booth across the isle. The restaurant was not busy on this Wednesday evening. Once seated it took forever to have a server come to take our drink orders. Two of our guests arrived about 10 minutes late and after 10 minutes we went in search of our server so they could order drinks as well. All drinks were finally served except for the two late arrivals. After 20 more minutes we again had to go to the kitchen area to locate our server, asked about the drinks and her reply was "oh yea". Five minutes later someone else brought those drinks, no one had come back to take our order yet. We finally went in search of our server again and told her we were ready to order. Food took 30-40 minutes to arrive and the serving of chicken fried chicken was the smallest I have ever seen. No one ever came to check on us, no refills or new drink orders. We had to again go in search of someone for take out boxes and the check. Bad service, mediocre food.

We ate here on a Monday around 1:30 pm. Hubby, me, my daughter, SIL and two grandkids ate here. It was a VERY disappointing lunch. It took forever to get anyone to wait on us. There was only one server for the whole restaurant. After about 40 minutes he finally took our orders. When the food finally arrived most of it wasn't what we ordered. SIL got the wrong steak, I got pulled pork sliders instead of a pulled pork sandwich with fries. Our daughter got the wrong drink. Hubby asked for no cucumbers on his salad and of course they were on there. This was surprising since the server was writing everything down. When we asked to speak to the manager he apologized and to his credit gave us half off our tab.

We come to Rock Bottom very frequently as we park in the garage below, have some drinks then go to a show or have dinner either there or elsewhere. A couple of days ago we were going to the Home Show so we came in for a drink before going. My husband went to the restroom after telling me what to order for him and I sat at a table in the bar. The bartender walked right by me without acknowledging my presence. Another server also ignored me even though I tried to catch their eye. The bartender wasn't busy, he was chatting with two couples at the bar who already had their drinks. I was thinking it was because they were waiting for my husband to come back, but when he did, we still weren't approached. My husband ended up having to go to the bar to order, where we were finally taken care of. After our drinks were delivered and we were asked if we wanted to order food, the only other time the server came to the table was with the check. As much as we have been here, this is not normal. Service is usually friendly and attentive. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but it was mid-week, early (4ish) and not busy.

Place was nice, it looks great in the inside. My food was good, I had their friend chicken with Mac and Cheese and a few cocktails, I decided to go somewhere else instead (I’ll explain why). I would give this place a 5 stars if the heavy set blonde girl and the guy with the full sleeve working at the bar were nicer and didn’t had me waiting too long after every drink. My glass of water and my drink were left empty and I had to try and get their attention since their conversation with other servers and people at another table that seemed to know each other was more interesting. Also, the guy wasn’t friendly at all. Every time he finally served me a drink I said thank you and he completely ignored me. If I ever come back in town and stop by and the same bartenders are working at the bar I’ll probably walk out. Other than that this place is okay. Excellent for customer service.

I came here because I landed late, it was close to my hotel, and they were still serving food. It’s a bit of a dive and cleanliness was definitely lacking (I did not use the place setting which was wrapped in a paper napkin that had some sort of stein on it). However, they had wine choices above a bar pour and a decent pub menu. I had the chicken barbecue flatbread which was more like an individual pizza. The bartender suggested I get the peppers on the side if I didn’t enjoy super hot and spicy- I followed that recommendation and was glad. The spicy was just right in the sauce and needed no extra heat for my taste. So overall dirty but food quality Ok despite appearances.

This is our go-to place for a pre-dinner, pre-show drink downtown. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I love their current cider on draft, a cherry cider. Service is friendly and fairly fast (it was busy.)

We stopped in our walk down 16th st mall. We ordered 2 special hamburgers with chips but only got 1. They quickly made up another one and didn’t charge us for it. The UMAMI WAGYU BURGER was amazing. With charred shrooms, roasted tomatoes, crispy soy brussels, shaved parmesan, roasted garlic aioli.

As you probably already know, parking anywhere near the 16th Street Mall is almost impossible in Denver. We were spoiled when we visited, because we stayed at a hotel on 18th street, that had parking, and we just walked the few blocks to the starting point of the Mall. Of course, we used the free buses to travel the length of the Mall. My one suggestion might be to try street parking a few blocks off the Mall and walk over to 16th street. Sorry, if that does not help. I am not really familiar with the parking garage situation there. However, do try Rock Bottom Brewery. We liked it very much. Good Luck.
