Renegade Brewing — Restaurant in Denver

HORRIBLE 1st (& last) IMPRESSION. We were in this area to meet up with some buddies, got thirsty waiting and thought we'd try this place for the first time. Unfortunately, their customer serv was so terrible we didn't stick around.

It was a quiet afternoon. The bar was full but the tables were empty. No one acknowledged us so we sat ourselves. An employee was standing in the dining area with a beer - I smiled at him but he didn't smile back. Whatever. We took 5 min to glance at the menu. 2 or 3 employees were walking around so we waited our turn. 5 min later, a lady from behind the bar curtly told us over a pair of heads that we had to order at the bar. So we made our way up there, stood around for 5 min, IDs and credit cards at the ready, again NOT being acknowledged, while a few employees stood around idly, gripping what seemed like their personal growlers. They looked dumbfounded.

We walked out. If it had been ONE employee ignoring us (or if it had been busy!), I could have shrugged it off, but there was a group of employees standing around being useless. This must be a place where you've gotta know someone who knows someone to matter. Seriously - were we invisible?

I was bummed. I sooooo wanted that beer. I wish I could give you...

I am very skeptical of this change. I have been a regular at Renegade for years and as nice as it will be to have somewhere in the neighborhood again- it will not be the same. I have an issue with pretty much everything going on here. Renegade had its own identity and these new people who essentially just rented the space now have the gaul to not only keep the name, branding, google reviews and instagram when they didn’t do a single thing to earn them is kind of messed up. Have some originality and change the name at least because it’s a slap in the face to the people who have put so much into that business for years to have a new renter come in and just take everything others have worked for. These new renters didn’t earn a single social media follower or a single review but guarantee they’ll keep riding the coat tail of a business they had nothing to do with. Maybe instead of throwing money at remodeling the inside, use that to actually start making beer. Still don’t know if I will support them but hey good luck I guess.

Edit: I went and it was not worth it. Staff was not friendly and over...

Hi, I've been to Renegade Brewing a handful of times and I have enjoyed it quite a bit.

The crowd tends to be in their 20s to 50s in an up-and-coming neighborhood in Denver!

I've enjoyed their beers of several different types from their taps. On weekend nights, they tend to have a food truck. If you'd prefer, grab some food at another restaurant and then, get your beer fix at Renegade Brewing.

I've also enjoyed their beers on the First Friday nights of each month. (First Friday's are an evening each month where galleries remain open far later than their early normal closing times on Friday Nights. :))

The crowd that I mentioned earlier in my review of Renegade Brewing can be nearly anyone... There's a man in Denver with so many tattoos on his skin, that I refer to him as the "illustrated man". I have seen him in a bar north of 20th on Zuni by Tejon southeast of The Bug theater.

Down the street from the Bug theater "Hey (illustrated) dude!!!" -- I don't find him scary, but he's definitely a quite unusual man.

Hmmmm, I think that I've included all of the experiences at Renegade Brewing...
