Roxy on Broadway — Restaurant in Denver

This place is trash and I would never had gone here but unfortunately my friends band was playing a show here. It was before 9pm when I went to the not busy bar to get a beer. I stood there for 10 mins waiting for any one of the four bartenders to come acknowledge me. I watched them serve multiple people twice before me. I had my partner and friend come over as reinforcements hoping someone would finally notice us. Another five minutes passed before my partner flagged one of them down and asked if we could get some drinks. We explained how long we had been waiting and she said "Sorry its just so busy, what can I get you?" I ordered a beer and my partner and friend ordered espresso martinis. She took the order, got a few feet away and started shaking her head and immediately went over to one of the other bartenders to complain about us because he looked directly over at us. She eventually brought over the drinks and the espresso martinis were very short pours almost as if she made one and split it into two glasses because they were barely half full. Hearing that one of my other friends who got a double vodka soda that came out to $28, I was curious how much the espresso martinis were going to be. When I closed out, I was shocked how much the bill was for a few drinks so I asked for an itemized receipt and the bartender said no. I will not return to this establishment. The staff was disrespectful, neglectful and just flat out rude. I was elated when my friend's band was over so I could get the heck...

The Speakeasy in the basement had a nice cozy atmosphere, definitely the best feature of the bar and probably it's only saving grace.

Overall, my experience was pretty terrible. Digital IDs were not accepted so I couldn't enjoy anything on the drink menu. It is not stated anywhere a physical ID is required or digital IDs wouldn't be accepted, I even checked the website before arriving. As someone who came for live music and didn't want to be bogged down by bag and wallet, this was incredibly inconvenient.

Food was overpriced and subpar. The tahini for the falafel tasted like peanut butter, the garlic fries were hardly seasoned, and the salmon on the flat bread was salted instead of smoked as indicated on the menu.

My group arrived around 845pm, it took about 10 minutes to be acknowledged and seated. By then, we were told we could only order from the late night menu even though physical menus, and digital menus, indicated normal dinner menu items were available until 10pm. When our food arrived, all from shareable menu, we didn't get any small plates and because there were only 3 dishes ordered 3 sets of silverware were provided (there were 4 of us). The napkin I received in lou of silverware was nice, I guess.

I probably will not be returning or recommending this establishment, at least not without warning. I came for food, some drinks, and live music and just got a...

This is a fun, low key spot for taking in an evening of live music. As a musician, one of the coolest, unique small venues Denver has to offer. The food is pretty good. There's a whole speakeasy bar / green room area on the bottom floor. Sometimes at places like this you might find the workers to be pretentious hipsters who listen to Arcade Fire, but this was not the case in my experience. Everyone I interacted with was personable and friendly. I would absolutely recommend coming here for live music or a casual date night.

Edit* Previous review may have been too harsh on the sound guy. We did have a lot of issues on stage, which was frustrating since we did a line check before the opening band played. We also gave him a Tascam to record our show from the soundboard, when we got it back, nothing was recorded, oops. However he seems like a nice guy and was at least receptive to what we were asking from him - he is young so I think he will improve as he gains...
