Candlelight Tavern — Restaurant in Denver

3/6/19 Update:

This place is, hands down, the most consistent when it comes to brand message, service, and staff. I've been coming here for over 3 years and it never ceases to be just what I need when I walk in the door. Chris, Todd, and Danno are long time employees who clearly love that they do!

The food is so consistent - it like going to your grandparents' house. You know what you are going to get and you know it will be so tasty.

The menu is simple - bar food that hits the spot. Favorites Cheeseburger. Wings - crispy without being too overdone. The sauce is tasty but not hot but you can order it with more heat.

Also faves: French Fries - served in a large oversized basket Burger with Jalapeno cream cheese - sinful!

Also: the JukeBox is On point every time I love how the place has a dedicated game area for billiards, jengo and more.

When the Zombie Apocalypse hits - Candle light Tavern is where I'll be! Update to my review!

Truly some of THE best bartenders & waitstaff in Denver. Unpretentious, attentive, fun, funny & they truly care about everyone who comes through the door. This is my new go-to neighborhood spot. Yes it's totally dive-y and they are damn proud of it! Great staff, fantastic burgers (yes, I mean it - fresh hand made patties - super juicy & always great). Pool tables, juke box and super sized jenga. This is probably where I will end up if the zombie apocalypse hits my...

This is not a safe place, please avoid. My friend and I (both young women) were harassed and practically assaulted by 2 different patrons within an hour of walking in for the first time. First, while having a drink at the bar and random man reached across the bar to make physical contact with me and then made lewd gestures and facial expressions towards my friend and I after I asked him to leave us alone. After a few minutes of ignoring him, he again reach across the bar to make physical contact, this time with my drink glass. A few minutes later a different person approached the bar near where my friend and I were sitting. To order a drink, he physically pushed himself between my friend and I after we asked him to find another open spot at the bar. He refused to move and leave us alone and instead physically forced his body between my friend and I. He refused to move and we walked out. This was my first visit to this bar and it will certainly be my last. I live in this neighborhood and thought I could enjoy a nightcap at this highly rated place, but I am outraged by the harassment I experienced from 2 different people within an hour of being in there. Please don't give this place your business if they continue to allow this dangerous behavior from...

OMG! I just had the experience of my life right out of an 80s sitcom. I met the owner Dave on a flight from Detroit to Denver. We got to talking on the plane and I mentioned I had a 5.5 hour layover in Denver. Dave invited me to the bar, and i had the time of my life. First, Dave is a former US Navy cook (I was former Navy) and then he went on to culinary school. He and I are both huge Detroit sports fans so the bromance came natural. His Jalapeño Cream Cheese burger was absolutely incredible. Though the burger and fries are top top shelf on taste, this place cannot be properly described except that it is out of the 80s Sitcom Cheers. Everyone truly does know your name and made a point to come over, talk to Dave and introduce themselves. I felt so incredibly welcomed. I’ve never experienced something like this even in a church. I cannot mention all of you by name but the hugs and handshakes really made my trip through Denver one of the most memorable ever. Dave’s patrons are the salt of the earth and so genuine and friendly. If I’m ever back in Denver I...
