Just don't - that's about the only way I can describe this place. Â Another place we'd been driving by a couple of times a week for close to 3 years now - we figured we'd give it a try while out and about a few weeks ago. Â I really wish we hadn't. Â Like some others have said, I wanted to like this place - it's a decent location, within walking distance to the other Old Towne establishments, but it also has plenty of parking. Â Upon opening the door, you can't help but notice the musty smell - it smells like many many years of cigarettes embedded in an old carpet. Â It's very dark - which is normally something I like, but here it was almost off-putting. Â The entire place is in desperate need of a good cleaning and some remodeling. Â
We found 2 seats at the bar, and ordered a couple of drinks. Â The bartenders were beyond unprofessional - they were nice enough, but the conversations we overheard left us both shaking our heads. Â I say overheard - but it was impossible not to overhear as they were standing directly in front of us. Â The final straw was one of the bartenders ordering a plate of wings - standing in front of us and eating them and then continuing to lick her fingers. Â Then turning and asking if I'd like another drink while grabbing for my glass with her sticky wing sauce/spit covered hands. Â Um, hands off my glass please! Â I certainly understand there are situations where she may have to eat behind the bar, but there were 3 other bartenders there that night, and only about 4 people sitting at the bar - go elsewhere to eat your dinner please. Â She found time to go outside and smoke about 5 times in the hour we were there - I'd imagine she could find time to eat as well. Â Needless to say, I won't return.
This place was great. Went with my grandma and my family for her birthday. Â Beverly and the other bartender were great multitasking as waiters/ bartenders. Â The food was great! Everything from calzones to regular American food to great salads. Before our water was half empty Beverly was there to refill it.if If lived in arvada I could go to this place a lot at night. Good people, pool tables, and very fun! Great place
Review Source:I wanted so badly to like this place, I tend to gravitate to dive bars that have large TV's, pool tables and golden tee. When i first found it after moving to Arvada around 2 years ago i thought I found my place.
I keep giving them chances but leave me disappointed every time. I am somebody who gets along with almost everyone and i don't demand great service, just service in general... They don't even have that.
I have been literally kicked out before ordering 1 drink for laughing to much with a friend and i wish i wasn't being serious.
This place service wise is unbelievably horrible...
Tried this place out after our softball game last Wednesday night. Â I was a bit apprehensive based on previous comments, but to my surprise the service and food was better than expected. Â Or Server came by multiple times, was fun to BS with, and did a great job taking care of us. Â Their menu was pretty extensive for a sports bar and based on the responses from the other people in our group, pretty good. Â 20+ beers on tap and a great $2.50 burger special. Â Overall a great place to drop by for some pool, sports, or just grab a couple drinks. Â Would have given another half star if there was the option :-)
Review Source:came for drinks with a few friends... the service was horrible & the girls were very rude. Â we came on a night that there was karokee so I decided I wanted to sing a song.. I waited ALL night for the girl to call my name, she never did. when I asked if I was ever going to get called up, she very rudly said there wasnt enough time.. I will not be back & I deffently will not recomend this horrible place to anyone else..
Review Source:We had a coupon and decided to check out Old Town Tavern & Grill for dinner.... The place was dark and the waitress didn't even know if they had a high chair. Upon ordering a milk, iced tea and Coke the waitress wanted to see our IDs. Being that we were just going out for dinner - not out drinking - I left my wallet at home (and, yes, I AM of age). Needless to say we decided to check out Gunther Toody's around the corner instead. Much better decision and most likely better burgers as well. The kids definitely liked it more!
If a Tavern and a walk back into your college years, then great. If you're looking for something to eat, find somewhere else.
I heard about the tavern from a little known movie reviewer here, <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigempire.com%2Ffilthy%2F&s=bf03fdbedc5b4fd97607ac4fc9eba85e73f07dcabbf32c5d9eaaa3370f950e5a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.bigempire.com…</a>
Makes the place sound alot worse than it really is. It's alittle dark but there's much worse on Colfax. The PBR is in a can, and the trendy folk from downtown don't make it out here enough to warrant a tap. The homeless are a good 5 miles to the east, so you can let your guard down alittle more than usual.
Was alot more fun when chain smoking in public was legal.
