Goosetown Tavern

Now that Kitchen Table BBQ is in this bar you just can't go wrong! Good music, good drinks, and great food!

I should have took a photo of the food but it was too good to interrupt. Fast and courteous service. Food is similar to a place in San Francisco I liked.

Alternative little dive off Colfax. Mostly for meat lovers but to my delight they had BBQ tofu. I ordered their kale and avocado salad with the tofu and it was very fresh and a great portion size. My husband ordered the burnt ends with collard greens. He enjoyed it. We ordered our daughter the basic burger on gluten free bread. They missed the spot here. Toast was torched on the inside and the burger was chard a bit on the outside. Go for it I had a very unique martini made with kettle one grapefruit and rose and it was absolutely delicious and only 6.00 bucks! Our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall cool little spot if you like barbecue and are downtown. More...

Great pulled pork sandwiches and Amazing cornbread! The service was great. We also enjoyed some good margaritas and beer. Atmosphere is very nice and easy to have conversations without competing with other tables . I would definitely recommend this place. More...

Such a rad local hangout and small music venue for local and touring bands. Upscale dive, very down-to-earth and laid back crowd, where in truth everyone knows your name. Decent selection of drinks, there is also your standard pub food if you need. There is always an event going on here, bands, open mics, reggae night, karaoke nights, etc. Great location close to downtown. Lots of people stop here before and after heading to the Bluebird Theater across the street. Patio on the sidewalk in the summer. Street parking, watch for parking rules/signs in the nearby neighborhoods. More...

Don't go there if you're black, Latino, support equality or value good service. The doorman and some of the staff there are definitely rac ist. Went here for the first time tonight. The doorman/front of house let my girlfriend and I know that there would be a short wait to get a table. We sat at the bar for 30 minutes and watched him just give away a table to a couple who just walked in. When I confronted him about it he looked me straight in the eye and said that he forgot, and that it was his first time doing this. He then  used my name  in conversation without any reminder, making it very clear that he remembered who we were. Only giving 5 Stars so that my review doesn't get hidden. More...

The Goosetown tavern is pretty cool. They have inexpensive live shows, and sometimes free shows. They have a happy hour, and food, decent tap selection. If you like booth seating, they have some comfy spots. The menu changed last year, with the Kitchen Table now being an incubator. More...

Hadn't been for months. Still has a Colfax vibe...which is good. New BBQ menue is a HUGE improvement. Good variety...and food we had was tasty. One important issue.,.BBQ was luke warm, not hot.Secondary issue...They provide 4 sauces to choose from. They were ok...not near great. Need work.  I'll still give it another couple of tries.

I like this place. The bartenders are nice and the beer is good. And apparently they have karaoke which I'll be back for.

Typical can't be bothered attitude from the bartenders, but somehow it works here. I feel like its almost like stepping into the 90s coming here. Like grunge and Empire Records meets bar. They have an awesome selection of ciders, but their margaritas are nothing compared to their neighbor and sister Mezcal next door. Great spot in the neighborhood to come for a drink after dinner or before or after a show at the bluebird. More...

Came here to meet up with some friends. Found them easily sitting outside and didn't have to pay a cover. Bought the door guy a shot of Jager which was on special and ordered a vodka cranberry and a Red Stripe before joining our friends outside. The patio was strange and narrow, and there were a lot of people sitting outside because it was the most lovely night of the year. Once the bands started we could hear them really well, so we didn't go inside to watch. We stayed through one set and then left though the patio exit. Both the bartender and the door guy were really nice. Seems like a good place to catch a show. More...

I've been here a few times. They have great music and a vibrant yet chill atmosphere. I had the pork wings, and they were super tasty. They were perfectly cooked with a nice crust. The honey Sriracha sauce had a delightful heat that melded well with the ranch dressing dip. The cole slaw was fresh but pretty standard. I enjoyed hanging out to grab a snack and a beer. Great place to go if you want fun music, tasty snacks, and affordable drinks. More...

If you live in the neighborhood you're definitely going to wind up here. After moving to town I started asking around for a good place to get a drink after work at and this place kept coming up. Scoped it out and it was exactly what I was hoping it was. Affordable drinks and a laid back atmosphere and for those living in city park it is a short walk there and a relatively safe stumble home. Can't beat it. More...

Just people being people.I saw a few people walk in for a drink after work,A few bromance dates, a couple people just playing pool.I loved that out of the three TV's ...there was actually one NOT playing football. I'm sorry Denver there are a few of us who ...dare I say it.....who don't care about football.They had Dry dock on tap...the apricot one...my favorite! It was quiet enough to chat with friends and the Mason jar lights were so adorable. DIY idea? I think yes! More...

Pretty good dive bar vibe. The cajun bleu cheese wings were really tasty, they actually tasted like meat (unlike some wings you get). Good beer selection. I'm not sure what the complaints about the staff are all about, they weren't really 'hipster' or anything (whatever that means in 2014, I can't believe people still use this as a vindictive, that 2004 Williamsburg ship sailed a loooong time ago guys), they were very polite and welcoming.

Great prices on beer, pool tables and skee-ball.  It's nice to have a place like this along Colfax.  It's a great place to either begin or end your evening, and if you're going to a show at the Bluebird, it doesn't get any more convenient. That said, if it's a night where a show's going on at the Bluebird, expect to park some blocks away, and the look at the signs carefully... some of the streets are restricted to Congress Park residents 24/7, and the Denver parking enforcement are all over it like yellow on a school bus.One more thing.  That skee-ball machine flips out a lot.  One time I had my best game ever and loser buys beer was on the line. On the next to last ball, the machine stopped working.  Hmph! More...

I've always enjoyed day drinking at Goosetown Tavern. It's the perfect place to play hooky and spend the day. The décor is totally strange and perfect for the spot on Colfax. It's actually larger than it seems from the outside so no harm in bringing in a group of peeps for some boozin'.The food menu is...interesting. Can't say I usually think of this place when I want a good meal but when the drinks are flowing and some solid nourishment is needed this place will do the trick. Generally, I just stick to the day drinking tho.More times than none it's a laid back crowd who will just go about their business. Then again, I only come here in the day so maybe the crazies aren't out and about yet. I find the staff to be really cool most of the time. Nothing too wild or crazy - but every now and then some of the gal bartenders are just off their rockers. Let's just say I've seen a few rip into co-workers in front of customers. Hmm. Still, it's always an entertaining experience.There is a really good selection of drinks and drink specials at this place. Really, isn't that all that a tavern needs? I'm glad they have Strongbow - always a plus when that gem shows up on tap! There's something here to wet everyone's whistle. Duck, duck, Goosetown. More...

This is a great place to go before a show at Bluebird theater. The food was good and there was a wide variety of Colorado beers on draft. I personally liked the Agave Wheat which just so happened to be the beer of the day and cost me $3 for a pint! I don't hate it! My brother and I had the chicken and waffles which he claimed were the "best he has ever had" which I can't quite argue against. It had a sausage gravy which added an extra delicious touch in this token sweet and savory combo. Overall the reason I am not giving this place a 5-star is because the service was slow at the start and the plates are slightly pricier than they should be ($11 for the chicken and waffles?) I'll be back for sure! Apparently the bands that play at Bluebird frequent this place before the show? Yet another reason to go! More...

Went to Goosetown since it was right across the street from Bluebird. I had a bad upper respiratory infection while traveling in Colorado and I was very excited to see that they had tomato bisque. I ordered their pretzel bread appetizer or whatever it was and got their soup and it was amazing. Apparently it was ugly christmas sweater night when I went in, and the staff were dressed with some great garb!The tomato bisque was AMAZING. Seriously, best tomato bisque I've ever had. I'm not sure if I wasn't too hungry because I was sick, but I couldn't finish all of my food. I sat awkwardly by myself at the bar, but staff was great. Definitely a great place to go before a show across the street. Food and service was quick and good. More...

Great beers on tap and nice and spicy wings. The HH deals look great, so I'm bummed to have missed that, but was satisfied nonetheless. The staff/ bouncers were great - I had a lot of fun talking with them as soon as we entered. It's nice that everyone was so amicable on what I'm sure was a busy Saturday.Although the place got pretty packed (Sat night), we still found seats at the bar. I was happy to have some great Wynkoop beers, which you don't really see at every bar these days. Their late night kitchen also stays open until 1am, so that's kind of a neat perk as well.The joint had lots of active pool tables and some (sadly) out of service juke boxes that looked like a lot of fun.I would definitely return.Recommendations:WingsWynkoop Beers More...

Bar crawling down Colfax can be a lot of fun.  Enter bar #3, Goosetown Tavern.  The guy at the door, Seth is a very nice guy checking ID's and with a welcoming smile.  Bartenders are very nice and chatty, some great looking eye candy for both of the genders to behold.  Back to the bar, a couple great late night HH specials.  I was enjoying a draft beer, one of my drinking companions was enjoying the PBR and shot of Jameson for $6 special.  Not a bad a deal if I say so myself.  The highlight besides the wonderful ambiance was the food.  I know you're doubting me right now, the food at the bar - YES - the food was delicious.  On the recommendation of Seth we decided on the Chicken Artichoke Dip Sandwich with a side of pasta salad and the Open Faced Tuna Melt Sandwich with tots.  The Chicken sandwich was succulent sliced chicken on ciabatta topped with warm Artichoke dip.  Best drinking sandwich I would possibly think of - it should be wrong to eat something so heavenly.  The Tuna Melt was okay, nothing to write home about and I definitely wouldn't order it again knowing I could have the Chicken Sandwich again.  Another surprise was the pasta salad - an excellent pasta salad.  One of the best bars on Colfax with delectable food!

This was my local for two years when I first moved to Denver and I still like to go back when I get the chance. They have free Bingo on a Tuesday night which is always fun especially with beer, food and tix to shows at the Bluebird as prizes. They also have Geeks Who Drink on a Sunday evening tho as some have previously mentioned, the pa sound system can be a bit dodgy unlike the jukebox which a whole lotta punk rock! Upslope Brown is my current fave beer on Tap there and I usually get the Rasta Jerk Chicken Pizza or Chicken Nachos tho all the food that I have tried has been pretty good. They have two pool tables, an outside patio, attentive bar staff, love Sid & Nancy on the bog doors, theres local artwork on the walls and in general this bar has a pretty cool vibe :o) More...

I went here one night after Benders Tavern for food, and to my surprise there was also acoustic entertainment! Awesome and hilarious, we could make requests, and the entertainer would mix in punk rock. For example, Holiday by Madonna, would be mixed with Holiday in Cambodia by Dead Kennedy's. It was fan freakin' tastic!I ordered a chicken jerk sandwich, served with large portions, it would have been awesome, it was missing the jerk. I waited and waited and no jerk. I even took it home with me, ate some later still no jerk. Sad to say it was not jerky at all. I was disappointed. The sandwich was good as a chicken sandwich. It needed more jerk. The place ruled other than that. It was a super relaxed environment, i had a great time there! I will be back! More...

I stopped to check out what Goosetown had to offer during my tour of the Colfax bars while in the lovely city of Denver.  Since we only stopped in long enough to have a drink, I didn't get to try to wonderful pizza my friend had been raving about, but it will give me a new goal to attain when I mosey on back to Denver.  This bar didn't have anything that really stood out in my mind, but it did have an awesomely friendly staff, and some pretty decent drink specials.  And it had just the right amount of dirty dive bar ambiance to make it enjoyable, without feeling like you need to shower when you leave.  I will definitely be back!  And this time I am bringing an empty stomach with me as well, because whatever they had cookin' sure did smell delightful!

We don't come here often, but when we do I always wish it were closer. With all the super trendy and/or super hipster vibes throughout Denver, it's nice to go to a traditional sorta dirty bar, but clean enough I don't want to run. The bartender was a grungy guy who was just friendly enough to make me comfortable while still being cool rather then bitchy.Went for lunch today with a friend and it was exactly what I was looking for in atmosphere. Pretty quiet and laid back. I was craving soup and/or green chile and know their green chile is pretty good so I got a Club with a cup. This one has a pretty decent spice though today's was a little milder then usual. Colorado is not known for it's major spice so I always gravitate to the places that just go for it. While it's been awhile since I've had a club, this one is one of the better ones I've had. Bread was toasty but soft; Bacon was crispy; Mayonnaise was was just think enough to give moisture and coolness, but not make everything soggy. I've never been here and always had decent service. I'm not someone who needs a lot of attention; I just need my drinks. What we've eaten here has always been good. I guess this might should be a 3 star, but they get an extra star for not following the hipster trend and just giving us a good neighborhood spot. More...

Spicy Sriracha pizza, I have been craving you for at least 3 weeks now.  I loved you at first bite...nay, at first glance.  Your thin, but not too crispy crust, spicy chili sauce, basil, tomato, red onion and ABUNDANCE of roasted garlic cloves leaves me with some deliciously stank breath...and an oh-so-happy tummy (which totally trumps the breath issue).I like the feel of the Goosetown.  It didn't come off as pretentious, but I wouldn't classify it as a dive bar either.  The staff was very attentive and personable.  I will definitely be visiting again to try more of their menu items...although I think it may be too soon to cheat on my new love.  See you soon, Spicy Sriracha pizza. *wink wink* More...

I like this going to Goosetown for drinks and to 'hang'. I've only eaten once and it was a quesadilla and I do remember being pleasantly surprised by it. After all, it is still pub food. There is a couple pool tables in the back and usually plenty of seating.  Also, the service we had both times was also very attentive. So I give four stars for the laid back atmosphere, the good service, the one time I ordered food here, and I just like it here for some reason. I feel comfortable. More...

Love this place.  Not only is the bar staff quick, attentive, and heavy handed with pours...they actually seem to enjoy being at work.  There's nothing worse than ordering a drink and having a bartender roll his or her eyes like a angst ridden teenager.   Solid lineup of draft beers, although I usually find myself with a Maker's on the rocks when I'm here.  I usually just park my ass at the bar, so I've never had a problem being served promptly.  I am by no means a regular, so I don't think my service was out of the ordinary.  A solid tip on the first drink will always help you in the long run.  If you don't like crowds, avoid this place if there is a show at the Bluebird.  Prices are comparable to other places on the 'fax.  I actually haven't been for happy hour, so if you're looking to save some scratch that's probably the way to go.  *I've never eaten here, so I can't comment on the quality of the food.
