You like beer ? You'll find it here. They have 52 beers on tap . If beer is not your thing, don't fret. The Thirsty Lion offers a full wine list , along with several cocktail options.

First time here. Ordered Waldorf salad , pear cider and a grape fruit basil martini for dessert . Everything was so tasty. The Waldorf salad had smoked chicken with. a kick. Perfect with the sweet apple

Stephanie Landin

Large space and brand new, the bar is cool! The prices are moderate if you are used to being downtown. Great for groups and seeing the downtown scene now at Union Station.

This place is great!! Nice variety of draft beer , service was outstanding, and food tasty & nicely portioned. We didn't leave hungry!

St. Patrick's day beer flight of stouts & porters was perfect. Can't wait to go back and try some of the delicious looking food!

Romano herb crusted chicken , amazing French fries and the NW burger , all must haves. Oh, and the 52 beers in tap.

Alex Hunter

Elevated bar food! Feels silly to call out a Caesar Salad but here we are - it hit the spot. Also the cauliflower bites, Queso , and soft pretzel .

Kaila Mazzy

This place is to die for. Great beer selection and delicious food, get the turkey club . A tad pricey but worth the dough .

Nick Davis

Great food and good beer selection . Service was a bit slow, but it was busy before a Rockies game. Beer soup was awesome.

Emily P

Great happy hour !! Try the Brussels sprouts , delish. Also get a glass of wine . Biggest $4 glass I've ever seen. Awesome!

Bryan Walker

Based on what I read, this place has come a long way in terms of service. Fish and chips were great. Get a beer flight !

Abby Wilson

Contrary to prior reviews, the fries are actually not very good—tastes like they've been sitting for 3 days! Pizza and spicy margarita are way good though!!! Service is phenomenal!!!

Lauren Jensen

Wide selection of food, all very good and great big space downtown

Check out the Spicy Fried Chicken Sliders . The best I ever had.

Best chicken fingers I’ve ever had. Chicken fingers ? Yep. Just order them.

Get the French Fries . They take 3 days to make them and you can tell they are amazing!

Sometimes the service can be a bit slow, but overall a good spot for a beer .

This place has the lightest pours in Denver. Go anywhere else. Really!

Andy Anderson

Great Scottish eggs and wonderful pear salad .

Mike Stark

Wow - I am so torn: the food was very good, but the service was terrible. For a moment we thought we were on "Punked", but I guess the server just hates his job. What a douche!

Kell Peplau-Kaiser

The fish and chips were quite good, but the bar was very very slow to get drinks out.

Larry Turner

Service is poor. Not sure how this place will stay open in the long run

Matt Adams

Alcohol is the only good thing here. And Lauren A is the only good bartender . I waited 7 minutes at the bar while the other bartenders standing 4 feet away didn't even acknowledge me.

Great location downtown. Tree/Rock Display in center field was very scenic. Thin air causes a lot of home runs. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Rockies game, check out - John Mann
