Wynkoop Brewing Company is a big, buzzy spot right by Union Station with loads of seating and that classic American brewpub feel. Easy, relaxed, and exactly what you want for a quick pit stop after a day wandering around the city. So much that we ended up there twice during our time in Denver!
The beer list is great, with a good mix of their own brews and guest taps. I had the Hazer Tag NEIPA, which was super hoppy with really bright passionfruit and citrus notes – very much my kind of beer. Food-wise, the Wynkoop burger is the one to order: properly comforting, juicy, and ideal with a cold pint.
We happened to visit when they had a dark beer event on upstairs (the “Day of Darks”), which was cool. And seems they also do a really good weekday lunch deal ($15 for a cheeseburger, fries and a pint).
On another visit, we shared a few bar snacks: elote dip, nachos and fried pickles. All tasty (though the elote dip was a touch salty for my liking), and the portions were… genuinely enormous. Or maybe we still need to get used to US serving sizes
All in all, a really solid, no-fuss Denver stop for good beer, hearty food and a lively atmosphere – the kind of place you’re glad to have on your list when you just want something easy and reliably good.

Wynkoop was very busy when I visited on. Saturday before a Rockies/Cubs game. There was tons of Cubs fans packing the place so I don’t know if my review is fair as to what you could experience.
There is lots of space to sit, both inside and out but my party and I were just there for a drink so we stood.
On ball game days, drafts are an amazing $4, which is hard to beat. I went with their Rail Yard Ale and thought it was very fresh and easy to drink.
There is a full service kitchen and the food that I saw people eating looked very appetizing. Certainly a place to visit before going to a Rockies game with that great beer deal.

The food was very fresh & portions were large. It was super busy (@ home Broncos game) so food took a while but the servers were attentive & friendly. Large selection of beer & varied menu. Great location across from Union Station. We will be back!

Super cool space! Happy hour classic bar food. Beer was tasty and the space is awesome. We came at an off time with our travel schedule so it was quiet but would love to go back when the pool hall is full or before a game!

This place was great. Many different spaces to find the vibe you want. Restaurant, local bar, and sidewalk viewing downstairs. Upstairs was a bit more low key on a quiet Saturday with a slower bar, pool tables and games playing in the background. Food was good. Bar food vibe but large selection. Beer list was great, including sample flights. All in all a great way to kill sometime downtown.

To start with the service was exceptional. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The chicken and waffles were some of the best that I have ever had and I’m from the southern us where that is a staple. The southern fried chicken was done perfectly and very tender. The house made waffles were very good and unique in flavor and served with a homemade syrup and candied pecans. I guess I will need to return to Denver for the best chicken and waffles. They also have a nice selection of their own brewed beers and delicious cocktails. Unfortunately the pictures show them half eaten.

Wynkoop is a fantastic establishment with good food and a large floor of great pool tables. As a billiards player I really appreciate how well the tables are maintained. One of the best places to play pool in denver.
Edit: I had initially left a review complaining about contradictory instructions on how to get pool balls on a friday night. Management reached out to me and made things right.

We hosted our company holiday party happy hour at Wynkoop Brewing for a group of 30 people, and the experience was honestly better than expected. Our server, Bryan, was absolutely amazing—attentive to everyone, incredibly fast, and genuinely cordial throughout the entire event. Several people in our group commented unprompted on how wonderful his service was.
We actually went through our entire planned appetizer menu within the first 30 minutes, and the team at Wynkoop graciously refilled our apps last minute to accommodate our group without hesitation.
Everything ran smoothly, the food was great, and the service truly stood out. We would highly recommend hosting any gathering here—and especially if Bryan is your server. An excellent experience from start to finish.

Went for a late lunch on a Tuesday and we were treated like royalty Zack made sure we had good food to go along with great beers! Pool is free 11a-4p (weekdays?) so we knocked some balls around.
Tables are well-spaced and the beer selection was great. We grabbed a couple of IPAs (filtered) and hit the green! Food came out fast and the menu is diverse enough to feed our special picky eater.
I’d recommend they get some cues that are straight (1 out of the 20 we checked were hella bad, that 1 was tolerable at best), otherwise you may need to bring your own. Balls are okay with a few missing a chip here and there.
Get the beer cheese pretzel and the Sheppard’s Pie, you won’t be disappointed with eother. Or both!!
Just a couple blocks from Coors Stadium. Watch for crowds from 4p onwards on game nights.
Had a really nice time for a late lunch and hope to be back soon! Thanks Zack!

Great location with a nice view of Union Station and within easy walking distance to plenty of local shops. The beer was good, but the food was even better. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid-back, making it an easy place to hang out. Service was a little slow considering it wasn’t very busy when we arrived, but overall it didn’t take away from the experience. Definitely worth stopping in for good food and beers.
