Milwaukee Street Tavern - Denver, Colorado

Great place for a lunch break. Food and beer taste great. Staff is legendary.
They have bowling with pins on wire if you are into that.

Not sure if restrooms have baby changer (automatic 1 star), will check on next visit.

I was shocked at how much I loved Milwaukee St Tavern. First, I only went because I didn’t want to go hang out at West Elm while my better half shopped and I assumed it was a Wisconsin bar since it was named Milwaukee St Tavern (I’m bad at knowing street names) It wasn’t a Wisconsin bar, but it was a great place.

Bartenders were super nice. Wish they would’ve had Fat Tire on tap or a malty beer like an Oktoberfest, but they still had bottles of beer I enjoyed.

Burger was great, steak was good. And it was very well priced for being in Cherry Creek.

Finally, getting to the restroom was a bit of a maze, but they were well lit, had outdated posters and good mirrors for a selfie. So, it felt like a dive bar restroom, which is the best kind of restroom to snap a mirror selfie in and let people know you’re out on the town for the night.

My partner and I went for dinner last night. Let me explain the 1-star rating. Our food was good. I had wings and she had the nachos. Drinks were good. No complaints there. Our service was great. She was very attentive and touched the table plenty during service. She made sure that we were all set. Here comes where things turn and the reason I will never set foot in this establishment again. While we were eating, we noticed a commotion that involved our waitress and a table of about 7 older men, one of which, we learned later, is part owner of the establishment. As we listened in, the man who is the part owner was loudly scolding the waitress for there being the wrong number of quesadillas on his plate. The man would not stop even after the waitress apologized and continued to shame and embarrass her in front of the entire dining room. The waitress walked away visibly shaken and tears in her eyes, but she kept waiting on her other tables, red-eyed and clearly upset and embarrassed. After a few minutes, the part owner got up from the table to speak with, what we assumed was the manager on that night, and continued to complain about the waitress whom he'd already broken. Luckily, the manager was attempting to stand up for her staff. NOBODY should be treated in this way anywhere, much less in a crowded dining room in front of a table of diners ESPECIALLY where there is a clear power dynamic. Shame on you for the way you treated your staff and I do hope that this review reaches your eyes. There was a better way to handle yourself here and with your many years of experience in the industry, I do hope that this was a one off, however and unfortunately this was a situation that my partner and I witnessed and we will never put another dime in your pocket. Do better, sir.

Chill. Good place to pregame. Bartenders knowledgeable and helpful. Cozy and warm. Buffalo wings were mild. Nachos were dry, but was a huge serving for an appetizer. We were here from 6pm until 9pm, and no one ever played in the bowling section, nor did it get overwhelmingly crowded. Seems like a local spot. Definitely worth the four stars, didn't exceed expectations to earn that fifth star.

Our daughter recently got married and most of the out of town guests stayed in Cherry Creek hotels. We were looking for a place to hold the afterparty that would be laid back and within easy walking distance for everyone. I was familiar with the Milwaukee Street Tavern but didn't know if they would host a private event. I reached out via the website and received a prompt response from Ashley Hochstetler. Ashley was awesome and helped us throughout the process. She is very professional and responded promptly to all of my inquiries. If you're currently planning a wedding, you know that it can start to feel like every business and vendor is trying to gouge you. Not so with this establishment. They requested a very reasonable deposit to hold the date, which was applied towards the final bill. They blocked off a designated section of the bar for our group and had food waiting for us as the shuttle busses unloaded. They even provided designated wait staff for our group. Loved the chill vibe, good food and bowling! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a Cherry Creek venue for a private party.

Great staff, good food, and a solid drink selection in a cool little semi-underground bar.

Buddy and I came here last night and wow! Very weird menu, basically you can get American, Mexican, Asian, or Italian… but we both really liked our dinners. Very fairly price for the location. Cheap drinks too. Can’t wait to come back and try something else!
