Aussie Pub

Reviews & Tips

  I live in the neighborhood, and I went to the Aussie Pub last night for a couple of drinks.  It is what it is: a dive.  And, it's the kind of dive that I like: a real dive, not one of those hipster-filled trendy dives.  This is what I call "an old man bar."  It's the kind of place where you go for cheap booze and maybe someone interesting to chat with.  They had $2 wells and $2 domestic drafts.  There were a couple of regulars there at the bar while I was there.  I have no idea how long one of the fellows was there, but it must have been a while.  He was drunk, but not obnoxious.  It was an OK experience, and was exactly what I'm looking for when I just want to knock back a couple.
  
  My one complaint: it's called The Aussie Pub, but I didn't see any Australian beers on tap.  I think they should get Foster's on tap at least.  But, they have Anheuser-Busch products on tap, so I just drank Bud.  Because that's what you do in a dive: you drink cheap booze until you've had your fill and then you go home.

  Good place on Wednesday for karaoke.  Dive bar, neighborhood place.  It's ok, but I'd suggest somewhere else on a friday or Saturday night, depending on what you are looking for.

  Absolutely the worst place I've been to. They had no food available  The beer selection was either Coors or Budweiser.  The only staff they had on hand was nice enough, she had extremely drunk local patrons to deal with and an empty pantry.

  This is one of the most divey bars that I have seen in the Denver area.  But then I might not be hanging out in the right places to experience that many dive bars.
  
  The waitress/bartender was very helpful with the menu and took time to explain how she made everything.  As my husband would say she was too chatty and just bring me my food.  :)
  
  They were out of the meat pies but the sausage roll was very good.  I had also ordered the chicken sandwich and I have to say that it wasn't anything special but it was descent.

  I went using a Groupon.  Basically, this place is a "dive bar".  However, the food is cheap and tasty.  I enjoyed both the sausage roll and the pub burger. They were out of meat pies, which I would have liked to try. It is a limited menu, but the sign says they serve food until 2AM, which is nice.

  Cant give a great review all though I must start out with that they had a groupon coupon and where over whelmed. Having lived in australia the sausage roll was a 4 out of 10 and the chicken pie about the same. Both where burned. I will try to go back and get a regular meat pie (they ran out) and not giving up yet but not a great start.

  I like this pub.  Neat inside, needs a better pinball machine..  Good little place to grab a beer with some friends.

  Aussie Pub is my new hang-out because it's really close to me.
  
  The space used to be occupied by Tonda's - Englewood's very own hellhole of a bar.  Tonda's was as popular at 9am as it was at 9pm.  Beer was only in bottles and the TV actually had a wire hanger for an antenna.   We're talking awful.
  
  Aussie Pub is a huge, huge improvement.  It's very clean and the owners added beer taps - Bud, Bud Light and, yes, Fosters.  The kitchen is minimal but it turns out some decent grub - Aussie style meat pies (the crust is never quite right), yummy panini sandwiches and surprisingly good burgers and fries (both prepared in a convection oven).  
  
  The folks there are very nice and they take good care of me.  The problem with the Pub is the clientele.  They can't really afford to chase off the drunks and they haven't yet attracted the middle class crowd.  As a result it's less a Pub and more a bar.  
  
  I have an uneasy feeling about the Aussie Pub.  I am hopeful that it will have staying power but I am not convinced.
  
  I Added a star on April 15 because the Pub keeps getting better as it gets its' rhythm.
  
  UPDATE:  The Aussie has gone completely into the crapper.  What a shithole!  The woman who managed to keep me coming back was canned.  In the meanwhile, the owners have turned it over to a couple of clueless girls who have no idea what they are doing.  Avoid!
  
  UPDATE:  I visited the Aussie with a friend on a Monday night to catch the football game.  When we got there it wasn't on TV.  We asked the bartender to put it on and she did but when we asked for audio she said "no".  She didn't ask the other patrons (any of the 4 of them) and she acted like we were bothering her.  We headed down the street to the Full House where they gladly honored our request - even though they had a bunch of customers.
