The Hound — Restaurant in Denver

Have gone to the old City Pub many times before. Always loved the food and pricing was reasonable, especially when factoring in daily specials. Was excited to try this out. Went with my family and was thoroughly disappointed. Started off decently as a staff member quickly stopped by to all for drink orders. Literately 2 minutes later another staff member stopped by asking for drink orders. Nicely said we already ordered. About 3 minutes later a 3rd staff member stopped by to get our drink orders. That is ridiculous.

Overall place was updated, but taking down a wall land putting dog pictures up everywhere isn't that big of an update.

Then there was the menu. Coming from the excellent City Pub menu to the Hound's menu is a joke. I kept looking at the back of the menu hoping for more, but sadly there isn't. Finally settled on a burger that appeared over priced.

Sadly my burger was just ok. My dad got a Reuben, which he said was decent and my sister got a salad, which sadly didn't match her recollection of City Pub's salads.

We were all saddened by the news that City Pub was closing, but excited to hear a new burger joint was replacing it. Unfortunately the new place just isn't any good. We will be searching for a new place as this will be the last time here.

On a side note there was one excellent improvement made. They finally raised the cement in the back to eliminate...

My brother and I went in to grab a late lunch and shoot some pool and to say the least this establishment is a major let down from what we're used to at our other local establishment. The food is mid, the service even worse. We asked for water three times and didn't get it once during our stay. We ended up having to go to the bar to order the second round of drinks as both server/bar tenders walked past our stacked empty glasses at least four times taking care of other patrons. Granted it appeared that they likely may have been short staffed, so we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. We preceded to watch BOH staff come out of the kitchen and help with some clearing of tables, but most of the time appeared to just be bored in the back, and would come out from the back to hang around the service station by the pool tables checking out what all the patrons were doing. Regardless of that, knowing BOH probably doesn't know how to operate the POS, for cripes sake if you tell me you're going to come right back with the water, at least follow through with your word after I've asked three times for hydration. If you are thinking of checking this establishment out, I would recommend seeking alternatives, unless you actually enjoy being neglected by your...

I really wanted to like this place. It's close to home and the decor is delightful. I knew going in it would be different from City Pub that used to occupy it's space, but after giving it two chances I don't think I'll be returning. I do want to say the food is really tasty. I like the pub variety and everything I had was quite good. Especially the egg rolls. The drink list leaves a lot to be desired from a pub. There aren't many options even between draft and bottles. It was just okay and for the prices, I was disappointed. My biggest disappointment was the service. The crowd wasn't big for a Friday night, but I waited over an hour between receiving part of my order and being checked on again. Even when I approached the bar, the staff disappeared into the kitchen. I had good company, so I didn't need to leave right away, but our drinks and plates sat empty for 45 minutes. Like I said, I did enjoy the food, but the lack of drink options for the price point of the food and the mediocre service will probably detour me from...
