One of the best beer bars in Colorado. One block southwest along Blake from Coors Field. Wireless Internet is available.

This is a fun place, right down the street from Coors field. We went right before a game and the place was packed. It didn’t stop the server from giving us great service and taking time to explain some brews. Food was decent, but I would go back for their extensive beer selection.

Lots of breweriana to keep your sights entertained, great bartender pouring a few free samples, and a top notch draft and bottle list. Good onion rings too. Sitting on the porch during a perfect Denver summer afternoon, drinking an awesome beer, is a pleasure. A must-stop in Denver, without a doubt.

Ever since I heard about Falling Rock, and was planning to visit Denver, I have wanted to visit this place. I am glad that I did! You walk in and you really feel that you are in a nice, laid-back, unpretentious tavern. The interior is dark, intimate and cozy despite the high ceiling. Decor consists mainly of hundreds of beer bottles, old tap handles, and classic beer advertisements. There are plenty of booths, quite a few tables, and even a few comfy chairs and a plush chesterfield, making it a perfect place to get together with a few friends for chat and suds. Waitstaff are quick, alert and friendly. You really feel welcome at this place. Food is decent, if not outstanding, but who goes to a place like this for the chow, anyway? Their beer selection is fabulous, including plenty of locals and craft brews, as well as some fine imports. This is a must if ever you visit Denver.

Best beer bar in Colorado by a long shot. Knowledgable staff, and a large, rotating selection. They generally have a number of beers that aren’t on the menu, so you’d be advised to ask your server what else they have in bottle or tap. The patio makes this a better location in the summer, although it can get a bit crowded on a summer weekend.

Wow, cool place. Was here on a relatively slow night. Very cool feel with all of the swag on the walls. A bit on the dark side. Staff was very friendly and food was better than average bar food. Had GD Hercules on tap here and that was great. Such a cool place and one I would love to spend an entire night drinking at.

Very beer focused atmosphere. Bottles line the walls and tap handles are everywhere. Not too cozy really. Service was indifferent on my first visit, and pretty stellar on my second. Avery event going on. Annoying reps bothering me about Collaboration not Litigation and some pursuit of hoppiness silliness and how much pure awesomeness it all is. Selection of taps was high quality, but not too interesting. Couldn’t get much of a handle on the bottle list because the refridgerators really seemed to have quite a few more than the actual list indicated. Food was mediocre, but pretty good to accompany a simple drinking session. Definitely a good place to throw back a few pints, especially if you’re a visitor. I would be digging this place quite a bit if I was drinking at the bar and not needing much consistent service or any kind of interesting/ungreasy food.

Place is dimly lit with old wooden decor. Nice selection of beers on tap but was not really feeling the atmosphere. Things just seemed too spaced out. The staff was very nice but I think I prefer the Brickstore better.

Excellent selection of beer on tap - didn’t spend much time looking at the bottles though. Food was greasy standard fair.

This was one of the stops on my bachelor party pub crawl, and definitely lived up to the hype. Small but nice patio, with cheap patio furniture. Inside has a large bar, with a ton of taps. They were out of a number of things that were listed on the tap list, which was a bit annyoing. Nevertheless, they had a steller tap list, and defintely one of the classic beer bars in the US. A required stop if ever in the area.
