The Monkey Barrel - Denver

This place is cool af. Low key. Good scene. Quality music. All the pinballs. Delicious food. Nice draft selection. Friendly staff. Go here!

Definitely a summer/spring bat type. Loved the vibe inside and all the games and pinball machines. To grab a table though so you can order food was pretty hard to find when we went. We managed to after standing and drinking for a little bit. For two people to get a drinks, app, plus two burgers was 35 bucks . Not bad tbh. The burgers are thin so definitely like a light dinner or typical lunch depending. It was decent nothing crazy. You get chips for free on the side or fries for 2 dollars more. The drinks are really good mixes and not crazy expensive like in downtown. The music was super loud we had to shout at each other to hear that nice. When we went had live music which might be why it was that way plus small because had to keep everything closed since winter. Hence why would be great place to go in the summer or spring just not so much in the winter. Will be back though later on because still a good spot!

On a weekday afternoon we had to check this place out for their boast: Best Burger... Bar food, basically. Edible but nothing to return for. I give them props for atmosphere. Cool pinball set up, video games at the booths and staging area for live acts. Could be a fun place for millenials.

Changed my rating from 4 to 2 because the service is nonexistent. You have to go to the bar to order drinks. Plus, they advertise them as being THE place to watch Avalanche games in Sunnyside but EVERY TIME there 's a game on, they have open mic night with upstart comedians or rap artists so you can 't enjoy the game. Their TVs outside are all damaged and hard to see and because the comedians or rappers are so loud, you can 't hear the game. Comedians get their timing off because hockey fans are louder than their audience is. Don 't know how they claim to have the best burger , either. It 's mediocre and overpriced. I used to go there for every Avalanche game, but not anymore. Oh, what a laughable response i just got from the owner. Too funny. Excuses about being understaffed and insults. Really? Pathetic and sad. Get more staff and quit whining when a patron gives an honest review. You USED to be good, not anymore; mediocre and understaffed. I 'll happily take my business and money elsewhere buddy. Thanks for the mature response from the owner. Laughable and immature.

So I had food today the total is 23.71 and the server asked me for 25 ! And the restaurant owners said they don’t give peoples charge. Who told you that you can do that? Just wondering how much money you have been stealing from your neighbors and Seems you Allow your servers take advantage of your customers worst place ever!!!! And You have a thief working for you that you think that’s ok ! And you should thanks me for letting everyone know that!
