Rocky Top Tavern — Restaurant in Denver

College place that is great for the beginning of end of your day. Never had bad service here. Highly recommend for fun time and bar food.

Just wanted to add to my review as we just were there yesterday. We live down the street and love this place. Wednesdays are all you can eat wings, their breakfast burritos on weekends are well worth the low price, they have a hard to find IPA by Lone Wolf, and they make fantastic Bloody Mary's. Two pool tables and video games satisfy your game mode, they have lots of food items that are all above average from what we have tasted, and the vibe here is a perfect mix of college, dive-ish, local spot, and lively. A jukebox lets you own the tunes if desired. They were out of mac and cheese when I was there last, but that is next on my list. Will is a stellar bartender that knows when to engage and when to leave alone, and his service (along with his co-worker) is flawless and his personality is fun. The only people who can possibly give this place a 4-star rating are ones with overachieving expectations. Maybe they were looking for a white table cloth type of place. Highly recommend and see you there.

Just went again and need to add something about the mac and cheese: I already light this place on past reviews, but I had the mac and cheese the other day and it was amazing. Great service, friendly regulars, video games, pool tables, juke box. This place is great on all fronts. Good specials, good prices even without specials, and wing night is fantastic. They carry a hard to find IPA called Lone Wolf also that is tasty. I wholeheartedly recommend. See you there.

NEXT VISIT: Wife and I love this place more and more every single time. This time we had some lunch. Ben and colleagues, as usual, were great behind the bar. Perfect combo of personality, efficiency, and fun. GREAT drink and food specials on weekends. The $5 smothered burrito is a STEAL. $4 Bloody Mary's too. This time, we got the pretzel and grilled cheese (with some Buffalo sauce). Pics below. If you want to watch games, play games, and just be in a fun all around bar, this is the spot. Definitely recommend and...

My friend ordered the all you can eat wings, and I had never had their wings, but was wanting to give them a try. I had 2 or 3 of his wings and split my sandwich with him. Towards the end of our stay, we asked for the check and were greeted with a generic "looks like you broke the rules" type of statement, as our waitress saw me eating a wing. I expressed that I only had 2 or 3 of his wings and that we hadn't abused the "all you can eat". Logically, this was an easy situation to navigate. However, she walked away from us as we were talking to her and whispered in the ear of a co-worker.

The co-worker brought us our check and I was charged for the "all you can eat wings" when I had 2 or 3 wings. Obviously, I contested this and her co-worker delivered a statement like "well, when you go to a buffet, you pay buffet prices" and "the rules say...". First of all, no rules are posted anywhere about sharing a wing or 2. Eating 2 or 3 out of 25 wings isn't overutilizing or abusing the "all you can eat" promotion.

We were super frustrated by this experience. Especially, considering that their food is fantastic and that my friend and I have served in this industry and would have never raised a ruckus over such a trivial situation.

Do what you will with this...

I wanna love this lil place! It's got a good atmosphere, neat neighborhood bar and the food is really tasty, with good specials and then I usually have a few shots lol. The thing is, one night the kitchen closes at 11pm (says Google btw), some nights it's 10 pm, some nights earlier.

Tonight, after literally five phone CALLS (glad I called), they let me know the kitchen had already closed at 9pm. Not sure I'm going to try again. I enjoy the food and I'm willing to drive 15 minutes, but last time they told me on the phone the kitchen was open till "10:30 or 11"pm, but when I arrived at 10:02 the kitchen was closed. They did last call at midnight, so again the hours listed are NOT ACCURATE.

I get why you close it early, but I've been in the business. Don't ya'll nice folks get that the inconsistency will make it so guys like me just won't chance it and head over for a snack and drinks any longer? My personal favorite bars and restaurants are the consistent ones. I know they'll be open, and I'm willing to come to you if your hours, barring a blizzard, are your hours. I know, I'm just one...
