G’Ducks Bar & Grill

The place looks so much better than the first time I was here. The floors have been redone and the look great. The bar is still sunken, the 86ed list is still behind the bar, the bartenders are still awesome. This dive bar got a facelift.

Awful the only thing good about this place is the bar maid.

My husband and I are looking for a new bar to hang out in so we went here. Mistake! It smelled bad, no real bad! I held my pee until we went somewhere else because the bathroom was that bad! Beer was warm. Seen a fight between two pool players and we were there less then 15 minutes! Don’t go to this place! The 86’d list is on the wall with pride too!

I found my way to G’ Ducks after a colleague suggested we meet here for a business dinner. «What the heck do I care?» I thought, «It’s going on the corporate card!» When I pulled up to the parking lot, admittedly, I was a little concerned about its location. It is situated in the back corner of a run-​down strip mall, complete with Vietnamese fast food and a very shady liquor store. But since I trusted my colleague’s judgment, I decided to take a step inside anyways.
Upon stepping into this restaurant I was shocked to find it so upscale! Elegant chandeliers, marble floor, and a large mahogany bar complete with leather bar stools! As I was taking it all in I was promptly greeted by the very friendly Maître d’ before being led to my colleague, who was already situated in a large corner booth. The wine steward was very attentive and suggested a rare bottle of French wine. This paired wonderfully with our appetizer which, unbeknownst to me, was the reason for the restaurant’s name: Fois Gras! It turns out the Chef de Cuisine (Girard) is from France and happens to specialize in Duck preparations.
My filet mignon came perfectly medium-​rare, and the garlic mashed potatoes were nothing sort of heavenly! My colleague elected to order the 42 ounce porterhouse, and he seemed to thoroughly enjoy his meal. I was able to wash down my meal with a whimsical house specialty drink called «The roaring lion». Ah who am I kidding I had several… it was on the corporate card! Although for both of us we spent less than $ 60, not too shabby.
G’ Ducks is a hidden little unassuming gem where you can have a nice romantic dinner, an upscale night out with some friends, or a gourmet meal you will not forget. Do not hesitate to give this place a try.

From the moment one walks in, G’ducks treats your senses to a symphony of stimulation. Your eyes are beheld by the cast of regulars seated gently in their broken-​in bar stools. Your nose is met by a sensation not unlike the freshness of a bouquet of roses on February 14^th. Your ears capture the nostalgic classic rock emanating from the Touch Tunes jukebox. Your mouth signals to your cerebral cortex that the Coors Light you’re enjoying was not only brewed with the freshest high-​country barley Colorado has to offer, but also the recent delivery date of said beverage. And finally, one’s soul resonates with those of the great men and women that have come and gone through this fine establishment.
G’ducks is void of the typical riff raff that descends upon the bars in LoDo on a weekend night, therefore your beverage of pleasure is immediately bestowed upon you before you have a chance to reach the bar. The experienced goddesses that work behind the counter receive your drink order simply by eye contact. Happy Hour? No need. Everyone here is happy every hour of the day in part due to the low prices of the drinks which G’ducks is undoubtedly able to offer from strong negation with their alcohol distributor or large quantity discount purchases. Tired of waiting at bars with only a single billiards table? G’ducks appeases their crowd with two pool tables for old friends to laugh and share stories around while shooting some 9-​ball. Quantum physicists argue that at the most basic level of the Universe, we are all One. While much scholarly debate takes place around this theory, one unarguable fact is that those who are within the walls of G’ducks are indeed all Family.
G’ducks stands as a beacon of freedom and hope tucked gently into the corner of the shopping center at the corner of Hampden and Chambers. It is a flicker of a light in a world of darkness and cruelty. Any visit to South Central A-​town (Aurora for the non-​Natives) would be remiss without a saunter into this hidden gem that sits humbly in its part of the city. Had Jesus himself been an alcoholic, a permanent stool at the bar would have been reserved for him at G’ducks.
