I worked here in the early 90’s when we added the upstairs pool hall expansion. I was there during Jerry’s incarnation of a downstairs Blues Club with a guy named Scooch; saw Pinetop Perkins there. I saw the extension of brewing to the Broadway Brewing Company. We served damned good pub food in it’s HEYDAY. The Wynkoop is the granddaddy of brewpubs in the region. We consulted to Coopersmith’s in Ft. Collins-still going strong, and a place in Rapid City called the Firehouse, I believe. I hoped it burned! Nostalgia is making me weep, excuse me. I drank many a beautiful god, allah, and buddha here. Peace out to the departed Russ. This has turned into a big, successful business. Service is not as good, the idea isn’t so fresh, the beer’s aren’t so stylee anymore. It’s getting old, but still holds my respect. Go down on an off hour, tour the building from top to bottom, appreciate the history. A ghost once save 400 people from certain disaster by tripping a fire alarm minutes before an imminent explosion. Believe it or not.

Rare is the beer I’ve had here that managed to go far above mediocre. Rather sad to me. I get the idea that their heart is in the right place, but most I’ve had just fell short. Or maybe they’re playing a cruel joke and pulling out all the good stuff when I leave town. The meals I’ve had were pretty good.

I don’t know, but I never have a good experience with this place. Decent beers but the service is dicey at best. Food is okay with decent pool tables. Located in the yuppie section of Denver, LoDo.

Had a bunch of appetizers that were above avaerage by brewpub standards, beer is average. A Larry Walker hit from Coors field so it’s a pretty obvious pregame stop.

Big place. Big selection of beers. Really cool part of town ... actually, you can give most of the credit to the Wynkoop for creating LoDo. That respectfully said, personally I'm not a fan of the Wynkoop lineup. Well made, perhaps, but not overly exciting.

Note, as with other brewpub ratings, there is no category for beer quality. That is reflected in the ratings for the beers on this site. So while Wynkoop usually has a large selection of beers with good, friendly service and a nice atmosphere, the beers leave a lot to be desired (and thus I never go there to drink beer, just to play pool).
