Very nice pub. Large selection of Belgium beers and some beers of New Belgium. Could tasted Cuvée van de Keizer on draught.

Nice place with very friendly staff. Went there on a Mon night and the bartender was friendly, knowledgeable and willing to provide samples and entertain your beer geekness. Also went on an early Sat night and no problem getting a table. Being primarily vegetarian there was little offerings, all I want is a veggie burger! But the food that I had was good. The quality of beer on tap is excellent ( I think Delirium Tremons is much better on tap) and they take proper glassware to the next level by having each beer in the brewery’s glass with the brewers label. I assume the bottle selection will get more extensive with time. I am glad there is now a Belgian bar in Denver.

This was my first time in. Our Server was great, she just had way too many tables. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn’t all that busy. I had the Croques Monsieur, which was a fancy Ham and cheese sandwich, but it was awesome. I wanted the Rochefort 8, but they didn’t have it in stock, I did have St. Bernardus, Delirium Tremons, Maredsous 8 and the Dekonink Amber. Worth going to check it out.

The best Belgium beers are great out of the bottle, but this place lets you experience them from the tap, and in the appropriate glassware for each beer. The food is good. The ambiance is nice enough that my girlfriend who hates beer likes to hang out there. If you love Belgium beer, you have to check this place out when you’re in denver.

Nice selection of Belgiums on tap. The bottle selection was small. The decor was modern and a little cheap I felt. the booths in the bar area are mobile so you feel every movement the people in the booth behind you make. The bar was full but besides that the place was empty on a Saturday early evening. Nice place to have a beer and chat but it lacked character and ambiance.

Reminds me a bit of Belgium, but it will take a while to break in. Still fairly new so the place needs to gain a reputaion, but I bet it won’t take too long because it is the only place in town where you can get most of the beers on tap. Very expensive, but worth the price. Must think as every glass more like wine than beer if you are to appreciate it.

I was there around the same time as DenverLogan. I had the regular mussels, frites and sausage/cheese plate. I was unimpressed by the sausage/cheese plate, especially for the price. Its fairly upscale, but not pretentious. The beer selection (especially the Belgians on tap) is pretty impressive. They could make the place better by adding some Chimay, etc

I was there last night, Oct. 7, a month after opening. A fine selection of taps: St. Bernardus Abt 12, Duchesse de Bourgogne, De Konnick, Kwak and others (about 12 or more). There’s also 20 or so bottles including des Rocs Grand Cru, Rochefort 8, and La Folie for $18, a good price. I’d like to see more bottles and beer decor, but that’s no big deal. It’s a pretty big place and they can handle a big group. The food was delicious...I had the Moules in Chipotle sauce and stuffed mushrooms. Great frites with various sauce options. Would love to get back for the steak salad and other Belgian dishes. All in all a fine place to dine and drink Belgian beers.
