Craft beers no longer rotate on the happy hour list, but Dale's Pale Ale has been added along with Fat Tire and Blue Moon, $3.50 every day. Illegal Pete's once again makes Colorado proud.

As a vegetarian and a DU student I love this place. I really like their bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and guacamole . If you have any questions about what you can eat just ask!

Anthony Duran

Just an all around great beer and burrito joint for you and your friends. Come watch the game, study when it's not too busy and or just people watch .

Brian Elizardi

They open the windows at the bar on nice sunny days, which creates a great atmosphere for an after-work margarita or beer . Big fish burrito with a side of queso is an all-time favorite.

Murphy

Awesome staff ! Our first time in Denver and just driving by we found it after seeing it on a "top Denver" list! Great food & good atmosphere too.

If you come on flip night, realize how hard your bartenders are working. If youre lucky enough to win your flip dont think that means you dont have to tip, they worked just as hard to make your drink!

Brad B.

Make sure you try to spot all the guys wearing flip flops, polos, and/or a baseball hat. Usually there are at least 3 at any time. Oh and steak and potato and chicken pesto burritos are bueno.

Mason Fleet

Their queso is SO GOOD. Also try a smothered burrito . And I like a shredded beef quesadilla with jalapeños in it
