Maybe it's the fact that this is the first decent burger that I've had since moving to Arvada or maybe this was just one hella good burger, I'm not sure. But when I had it, I thanked the gods to finally have a properly cooked burger.
I came here at about 3:30, so the place wasn't hoppin or anything. It picked up around 4:30 and seemed to be a standard happy hour crowd. There was one bartender/server on staff and she was awesome. She handled everyone at the bar, on the patio and around the tables without ignoring anyone and making jokes and having fun with everyone.
The location is pretty cool: right across from the train tracks, so you can watch the train go by every once in a while. I'd like to come back for a happy hour sometime and sit on the patio. Seems like a great place for people watching.
Just a friendly little bar & grill in Old Towne Arvada.
We dropped in with a Groupon on a Saturday afternoon. They have several tasty beers on tap. I enjoyed the Sierra Nevada. And, I love that they serve their beers in two sizes, pint & large. Unfortunately, they only do Pitchers for birthday parties. But, they have a deal where you can get 20 pitchers for $25 on your birthday. So, we may have to come back and take advantage of that.
I had the anti-vegan burger and it was tasty. Their fries are phenominal!
There is a small patio area. But, if the weather is nice, expect it to be packed. Inside wasn't bad, there was a nice, big bank of windows for us to people watch through.
It seemed like the only staff when we were there were the bartender and the cook who brought out the food. So, service seemed slow. They could use a cocktail server.
Overall, it was just a chill afternoon and I would definitely drop in again when in the area.
It is what it is... What in the world does that statement mean!? I've used it, I'll admit and now I'm shamed of ever using it to describe an establishment or a plate of food or anything for that matter. How can anyone give a comprehensive review of anything and use "it is what it is" as we look to you to describe what "it" "is". Either way this is my take in Cheap Skates. When I first step foot into Olde Town set to really explore what Olde Town had too offer and to get familiar with what Olde Town was really about, walked pass Cheap Skates intrigued with their vibrant loud atmosphere. My first most impression was that I was not in Olde Town anymore. I felt like I was in the heart of Ocean Beach or somewhere else in the big CA. All the tv's are topnotch they have great bar food and there is always an attractive female behind the bar... yeah, that makes a difference. It's straight up the busiest bar in Olde Town and just because you hate it doesn't mean it doesn't fit here ether. It is... just like every other bar, not for everyone.
Review Source:This place is perfect for people watching. In the 20 minutes it took me to down my Coors Light, I swear I saw it all. For one, I could not believe how crowded this place was for a suburban bar. Even so, we were able to get beers quickly. We tried to order pitchers since they were advertised on the wall, but apparently those are only for people celebrating their 21st birthday. Weird. The space is small, so I doubt I would be able to drink there all night, but it's a good shot stop if you're working your way through Olde Town Arvada.
Review Source:I had the same experience as magnum. We were sitting at the bar with empty beers for around 30 minutes before I finally got the bartenders attention. I think if I would have shot a flare in the air they still would have looked past us. Almost walked out without paying after waiting this long to close our tab. Bartenders are horrible and along with the service! Do everyone a favor and stay away so maybe the place can get new management or something. At the very least they need new bartenders!
Review Source:First off, I didn't find the bartenders to be leathery at all. Â In fact, they seemed quite pleasant and were quick to be of service, despite a fairly dense crowd of patrons.
Not a big pub, but plenty of TVs for catching whatever game happens to be on at the moment. Â Beers weren't cheap, but the prices were not exorbitant - I think around $5 bucks for a decent sized beer.
Didn't see any screaming children.
Leathery skinned bartenders that ignore customers and microwaved, overpriced dip. Screaming unattended children. The food is way overpriced for the poor quality. But on the good side, it's a sports bar and the the bartenders look like they're made out of footballs, so it keeps with the sports bar theme.
