Reviews for Thirsty Lion Gastropub - Washington Square in Denver, CO

It's right next to union station. We got a table on Sunday lunch time really quickly. The food was okay. I had fish and chips.... The beer batter was super thick and I got full eating half of the plate. My husband had a burger. It was pretty good. Greatselection of beer. Good service. I can't complain. Read more

The vibe of the restaurant is nice. I sat outside of the restaurant looking to the union station. The view at dusk is really... great. The food is alright. I ordered the Blood orange ginger ice tea. It is nice for hot day. For the meal I ordered the IPAbattered fish and chips. It was crispy and good. Read more

We were in Denver for a girls trip and this is where we decided to grab dinner. Food was fantastic. Everything we ordered was... delicious. The staff was very friendly and their menu suggestions were great. If ever in the area, we will definitely come back. Read more

Thirsty Lion had been on our list for a while and always seemed to be busy, must be a great place right? Not so much. Four of... us dined here for dinner for the first time on Friday, July 8th. We had a reservation, but decided upon arrival to sit at thebar (most would think service would be better at the bar, more efficient, ya know?) Our first unpleasant encounter was whenanother server dumped a beer in the sink near where we were sitting, which splashed into one of our beverages and all over thebar. The second, was when we noticed a cracked glass on one of our drinks. We brought this up to the bartender, who quicklypoured it into another glass (which was our suggestion as we didn't want to wait for another drink to be made). Overall, thefood we had this evening was great, however, the overall service experience for what we were expecting was lackluster. Lastly,the bartender who had been serving us most of the evening, must have reached the end of their shift, as they disappeared withoutnotice. Thankfully, the bartender taking over this section was accommodating and attentive, which was appreciated towards theend of our dining experience here. Again, we were looking forward to checking out this place, but this overall experience wassubpar. Read more

The music was really good, our waitress was super nice and the food was delicious. The fried calamari was not our favorite and... we will not order it again, but the fried rice it's delicious (the pork it's spicy) and the burger was magnificent. Read more

The ambience is amazing. Food is pretty good but smh our burgers and fries were served cold. Amazing staff and very... accommodating. Note to the manager: how come 5 people are not allowed to sit outside ? But 4 is ok? Will be back soon Read more

Been to a few venues in Denver, but this was our first time at the Thirsty Lion (Union Station). Brother-In-Law was in town on... business and this was the pick for the evening. Nice close parking. Really good vibe, but we did feel a little older than thecrowd that was there. I ordered a cheeseburger medium well and an Upslope Craft Lager to wash it down. Great smooth taste on thelager, without a lot of of an after taste that I sometimes get with a lager. Read more
