On a weekday afternoon we had to check this place out for their boast: "Best Burger..." Bar food, basically. Edible but nothing to return for. I give them props for atmosphere. Cool pinball set up, video games at the booths and staging area for live acts. Could be a fun place for millenials.

Chantell was so friendly and knowledgeable! She was amazing and greeted me right away even while interacting with and serving multiple guests. She is so amazing with her ability to multitask and still make everyone feel like they have her full attention.

Changed my rating from 4 to 2 because the service is nonexistent. You have to go to the bar to order drinks. Plus, they advertise them as being THE place to watch Avalanche games in Sunnyside but EVERY TIME there's a game on, they have open mic night with upstart comedians or rap artists so you can't enjoy the game. Their TVs outside are all damaged and hard to see and because the comedians or rappers are so loud, you can't hear the game. Comedians get their timing off because hockey fans are louder than their audience is. Don't know how they claim to have the "best burger", either. It's mediocre and overpriced. I used to go there for every Avalanche game, but not anymore.Oh, what a laughable response i just got from the owner. Too funny. Excuses about being understaffed and insults. Really? Pathetic and sad. Get more staff and quit whining when a patron gives an honest review. You USED to be good, not anymore; mediocre and understaffed. I'll happily take my business and money elsewhere buddy. Thanks for the mature response from the owner. Laughable and immature.

So I had food today the total is 23.71 and the server asked me for 25 ! And the restaurant owners said they don’t give peoples charge. Who told you that you can do that? Just wondering how much money you have been stealing from your neighbors and Seems you Allow your servers take advantage of your customers worst place ever!!!! And You have a thief working for you that you think that’s ok ! And you should thanks me for letting everyone know that!

A massive patio that is dog friendly, an very well chosen list of draft beers, booths with N64, lots of TVs to watch your favorite game, super fun ambiance and very friendly staff. Love that it both a chill spot as well as lively in the evenings and host numerous events. Definitely a hidden gem in Denver!!

I was recommended to come try the burgers, and the Philly cheesesteak. I was not disappointed!!! The cheesesteak slaps!!! The melon margarita is great also. Jimmy and his wife were super friendly.The place is clean and just plain cool !! I will be back with friends and family or anyone looking to get great food and drinks. Cheers !!

Super great service! Those ladies killed it for friendliness, efficiency, all the things. They hammered out a super packed night even though we heard it was unusally busy. This was our first reference, but the overall vibe is a chill but slightly rock, music centric decor, with good food and decent choice of beers. We'd definitely return / recommend!!

I am so lucky to have a great pub like The Monkey Barrel in my neighborhood. Always a fun spot with night themes and stand up comedy on Thursdays!

Comedy night is pretty horrible. It’s not even comedy it’s just… trash. Plus the “comedians” were pretty dang rude too. Not to mention the food was doused with grease. I Don’t think we’ll ever be back to this establishment. Take your friends else where! This isn’t the spot, at least on Thursdays.

They have N64s in the booths... not much more needed. Super friendly staff and fun drink choices. Grab a mystery shot, play super smash bros, and falcon punch the shir out of your friends
