Bull & Bush Brewery

This was a great place. When you walk in, there is an old British pub type of feel, lots of character. This must have been the original bar, but it has been expanded several times with newer looking areas. The service was excellent, very fast with plenty of people working. Great guest taps; their own beer is pretty good too. 24 of their own taps, lots of different styles. This is one of the best spots in Denver, and that's saying a lot.

Chill spot in SE Denver. Indoor is stuffy for the COVID era but has a little outdoor space. British pub vibe. Good selection, small pours for tickers, good bottles to go, and lots of barleywine if you believe #BIL, which it is. Beers vary in quality from OK to quite legit. Good service and food.

Monday afternoon. Bar was hopping, restaurant quieter. Dedicated lot. Definitely a pub feel going on here. Dinner club perhaps. Dark inside, candles on the tables. Copper top bar. Friendly service. About 40 taps with a mix of house beers and guest taps. QR code access. Really interesting mix of styles, including some firsts for me ( can you say Sherry barrel aged Vienna lager?) I just got a black ipa, which was solid for the style and a bit of nostalgia for me; you done see them often anymore. Enjoyable, but not anything like a typical brewery.

So this is a great place. Focus on English style beers, all of which I had were good to very good. The barleywine especially was excellent and they had some crazy heavily-adjuncted low-ABV oddball English styles. Then, in their cellar, they have a good number of their own brews and some vintage English and Low Country bottles. Between the draft and to-go selection, great place. Food looked very good. Look and feel is basically dark English pub. Worth going to.

Stopped into the pub for a couple beers and some appetizers. The pub had a nice atmosphere, featuring an English pub style design, but also incorporating an American-style sports setting. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, and pretty attentive, despite the crowd when I was there. They had a good selection of their own beers, as well as many other types of beers on draft, and covered a wide mix of styles. The appetizers that I tried were good, although not particularly memorable. The value seemed appropriate for a brewpub in the city, and I would go again to try some more of their beers.

Cool place in Denver. Nice English pub feel, pub fare and house made beers. They have an infusion option where you can infuse a beer of your choice with one of a number of hops. Gimmicky, but unique and fun to mess with different hop varieties. Service was good, and it’s right next to world of beer Denver. Lots of other options in Denver, but this is worth a try.

Stopped by during CBC week. Nice interior, decent food, and pretty solid beers. They had an obscenely large beer list on that week, but even their core beers were solid. Prices were decent, slightly dimly lit vibe. Would return.

I stopped in recently on a Friday afternoon. Dark, dimly lit, pub with plenty of seating and a fireplace. They had about 15 beers on tap including 3 SMaSH brews, ranging from average to good. The service was good and the value was great. Three 3oz tasters for $3. I will stop in again if I’m in this part of town.

Visited for a late lunch on a Thursday. Bull & Bush was the first place I started hanging out when I moved to Denver in 1995, so it has always had a special place for me. I remember one night the bartender locked my friend and I in until we hit the #1 spot on the trivia game. Good times. The interior is very much English pub, quite dark, with a large bar, table seating, and a nice fireplace area up top. In nicer weather, there is an expansive patio which helps brighten up the joint a bit. There were 8 of their beers on, along with 3 beers available to go in pint bottles. They also do growlers of all of their beers. Service was prompt, food was solid. This is a very “local” feeling place in an area of Denver that really doesn’t have many places like that. Certainly worth checking out.

82 = ★★★½ (Solid place, near the top of the list for locals and visitors)

I only use the total score, not the component parts.

this place seemed kind of like a time warp. also seems like the kind of place you could probably still smoke in. part pub, dive bar, part midwestern steakhouse, part brewpub. about 20 beers on tap which ranged from terrible to pretty solid. service was very friendly and incredibly welcoming. not sure why, but i liked it.
