Vine Street Pub & Brewery

We had a delicious meal at the Vine Street Pub & Brewery. They were very crowded when we arrived, but had several seats open at the bar where we had a drink while we waited. Everyone in our group had a sandwich or burger– and we were all happy with our food. Our server was pleasant and attentive, and the beer was delicious. This restaurant is CASH ONLY which is a rarity where I am from– but they do have an ATM at the restaurant. This is a very fun place– I would recommend checking it out!

Patio is awesome!
Date burger was absolutely amazing!
Portions sides are great and location is prime.

This place is awesome. Two thumbs up. Excellent in costumer service. I found here the sweetest people on earth. They captures my heart too. During my visit I forgot to bring cash on my pocket so I don’t have actually a way to pay them, but they let me go home on good will with the bill to mail back to them. Where on earth you can find such kind of service? This place worth all my respect. I have never encounter such trust before.
And oh! they don’t accepts credit cards, so be reminded to bring cash every time you come. They have great selections of beers too. So, enjoy!

Good food. A menu full of vegetarian options. Nice staff. Good beers. Great daily menu. Excellent cooks

Great beer selection, great and creative bar food, and great prices! Used to live quite near here and ate here or did take out multiple times a week. Now whenever I visit Denver, I always make a point of coming to Vine Street. The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best I’ve ever had, the French fries are phenomenal and truly hand cut, the homemade ranch dressing is delicious, and the blackberry wheat beer is definitely my favorite.
One thing to note, they are cash only but have an atm with inexpensive withdrawal fees in the restaurant.

Great burgers, among other food, and an incredible local beer selection. However, the service was mediocre at best, it took so long before i got my food. I would still check this place out again and maybe i could update my review.

This outstanding find has been my destination of choice on quite a few occasions. My workplace even hosted an ugly Christmas sweater party here. Not only is their ever-​rotating beer list absolutely amazing, but their food isn’t bad either. Nice indoor/​outdoor setup, note, cash only but there is an ATM. Check this place out and its sister establishments in the area!

Delightful. Beer selection, wonderful. Hand-​cut, French fries, addictive. Black and blue burger? Sumptuous. Boom boom sandwich with pesto (per servers recommendation) and an extra side of jalapeño mayo? To die for. Hostesses were accommodating w the rain (we started off outside), and service was stellar. And – affordable! Nearly everything on the menu is less than $ 10 (and portion sizes are sufficient). They’ve got 8 oz. pours of beers, as well – perfect for when you want just a liiiiiitle bit more. CASH ONLY. In short: totally worth your while.

You can find better food and better beer in Denver, but you won’t find a better place than Vine Street Pub. The people, the service & the atmosphere make this place feel like home.

Great burgers, great beer, great service. What more can you ask for!
The double down burger is delicious. As is the raspberry wheat beer and Kolsch ale. The only downside was the trees above my outside table dropping tree stuff onto the table. But it was still worth it to sit outside.

The fact that I have to incur $ 5 of fees to get cash out of an ATM so you can evade taxes is ridiculous.

Large space, good food, great prices. Honestly, this place is really good if you can’t decide what you want and just want food and a good beer. They offer $ 2.5 half pints on the beers which is really appreciated. One thing that I thought was a little suspect were the wings. Oh. My. God. They were giant. I was mildly concerned about the sourcing of those chickens. A dozen could suffice for two hungry people to share and be fairly full. Most of their portions are pretty giant.
We were seated in the back section which I must preferred to the front. It was must quieter and kind of cozy feeling, especially considering the crap weather we were experiencing. We were told it was a wait of 20 minutes for a table for 7 and were seated within about 10. Much appreciated :) We will be back.

I’ve been to Vine Street Pub 3 or 4 times now and can usually find a beer or two that I like but actually nothing memorable. What I do remember though are their hot wings. Unlike most other hot wings their’s are lightly breaded. Although that normally wouldn’t be my preferred method of cooking, them battering their wings works. The wings remain crispy and the batter helps to hold sauce to the wing.

Excellent service.
Great burgers, sandwiches and excellent home made fries.
Large selection of beers on tap.
Fair prices.

Today I went to Vine Street Pub and Brewery for the third time in the past two months. I was getting comfortable suggesting this place with my friend and it had become a new favorite. This favoritism was mainly due to the hummus for me. The hummus is also why I still give Vine Street Pub & Brewery 2 stars instead of 1.
The service concept of the servers all sharing the same duties or whatever is a cool thought, but the execution there is poor. For instance I like balsamic vinegar on my salad, not balsamic vinaigrette. I stress this often at restaurants. Vine Street Pub is not the first person to not quite get it the first time but considering I had gotten Balsamic Vinegar there in the prior two times for my spinach salad I knew it was not accurate when they said they didn’t have balsamic vinegar. Plus, what the hell kind of kitchen wouldn’t have balsamic vinegar? If we could just have gotten one person to understand we would not have had three different servers come at our table with Balsamic Vinaigrette. The worst vinegar server was definitely the first girl who claimed she was new working there, very rude and adamant that balsamic vinegar and vinaigrette were the same thing. The second vinegar server came out with a tray of red wine vinegar and olive oil, which is close but still not balsamic vinegar. I started laughing out of nervousness and she literally asked me if I was okay. It was becoming so absurd how terrible this was by the time everyone walked away and I had a dry salad. My lunch partner was so agitated he boxed up my salad, paid the bill, left his food and that is when someone walked out with a dish of balsamic vinegar. Really? 20 minutes to get that right?
But that isn’t all.
This was all after we had ordered a lemonade. A lemonade, you know made with water, lemons, and sugar? The drink that kids make and sell on a corner. Please tell me how when I sipped the lemonade I gagged. That type of reaction does not come from good old classic lemonade. I was served a margarita. I do not drink alcohol for very serious health reasons. It is actually even illegal to serve alcohol to someone without carding them, right? I reckon at 22 years old I should still be getting carded, aye? Anyway, the explanation was «They are in the same containers». Well don’t you think you should be labelling your lemonade container as separate from your margarita container if you cannot tell the difference? Are you unknowingly serving children tequila on a regular basis? This was pure negligence I had tried to look over but all in all the service as a whole was totally dissatisfying and upsetting to me. Poor organizational skills are not serving this place right. Get organized, accept credit cards, educate your staff on salad dressings and the seriousness of handing out spiked drinks.
I will not be coming back, I will miss the hummus though.

Update – after hearing from the owner about our experience, I’ve changed my review from 3 to 4 stars. We are hoping our experience was a fluke because we really did hear such positive things about the pub. Looking forward to trying it out again in the future!
This place was sadly just ok. Bummertown. We were super excited to try, and underwhelmed by the experience. Besides the fact that it’s «cash only», which is silly and the set up of the restaurant is nothing special, the food is good but nothing to write home about. The burger was forgettable and the fries were nothing special. There seems to be a ton of delicious eats in Denver, so I’d skip this one unfortunately.

What’s better than a half day of work AND delish beer?
NOTHING.
With Ben’s uncle, visiting from Wisconsin we decided a lunch out (with craft beer) was a must before seeing the chocolate exhibit at the museum of nature and science. All three of us fell in love with this gem and here’s why:
FOOD: so good! everything here is super unique and delish. I ordered the steak sandwich, which was filled with fresh grilled steak, arugula, peppers and onions on killer bread. MMM! Ben ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was fried to perfection, while Pete ordered the Jerusalem plate, featuring all kinds of Mediterranean food. Fresh hummus and pita bread, perfect chicken and more. the plate was heaping and so delicious.
ATMOSPHERE: very unique, full of artwork and cozy. we were seated at a booth and felt right at home. Artwork hangs on the walls, floral paintings on the ceiling and the smell of beer! mmm! both Ben and Pete loved it and could easily return.
SERVICE: beyond friendly and nice. our server was super patient with us, brought ALL the samples we wanted and suggested some great dishes to try. we sat for over 1.5 hours and didn’t feel rushed one bit.
PRICES: great for all you get! after 2 rounds of beer samplers, 4 big beers and 3 meals!
The only downside?
Parking is kind of a pain and the restaurant is CASH only. no need to fret though, they have an atm that only charges $ 1 :)

Love this place! I came with some friends before going out and really enjoyed the food and service. The venue itself is really cute, with available board games for entertainment. There is an interesting library theme going on, but that’s ok who doesn’t like books.
I got the spinach salad and my friend ordered the him as and cheese flat bread. We loved everything! The waiter was very attentive, which I appreciated a lot.
This place is also a brewery so a fabulous selection of beer was great. We tried a raspberry beer and it was great!

Came here especially for the patio because I read it was a really good place for outdoor cocktails. Didn’t realize it had any affiliation with Mountain Sun Brewery in Boulder, which is one of my favorites. Come to find out the group of restaurants is larger than that. All owned by the same: Longs Peak Taphouse, Southern Sun Brewery, Mountain Sun, Vine Street Pub. Can’t way to try the others.
Excellent offering of drafts, yummy cocktails, and really great food.

Came here on a Friday night with no reservations. It was packed but we were seated within 10 – 15 min.
I got the grilled cheese with tomato cream soup. Omg it was the most fantastic combination ever!!! Highly recommended!
My hubby got the bison burger with fries. He said it was tasty!
I will def come back to try more!

I’m really glad we discovered this spot. Lots of easy street parking all around. The vibe was cozy and comfortable. Great vegetarian options including multiple vegetarian burgers (portobello, bean, etc.). The wings are plump, large, and juicy– try asking them to mix the BBQ and hot sauces together. Great beer selection. Friendly staff. They have cornhole outside on the patio.
Kid-​friendly! Kids menu, high chairs, lots of families, and baby changing table in the bathroom. Anyone who has read my reviews knows I love a bar that welcomes babies!

Hippie haven: When in Denver, this is a solid spot for food and beers.
Burgers, sandwiches, salads, wraps… from healthy-​ish to heart-​attack, they’ve got you covered with tons of options. Last go around I opted for the blackened chicken and it was, by all accounts, your standard, solid blackened chicken sandwich. Fries are less crispy and more «hand-​cut.» Beers are delightful (four stars there)!
What really stood out for me at Vine Street was the service. Incredibly friendly, incredibly attentive, laid-​back, chill, but on point, my friends. Food and brews? AOK. Service? Top-​notch.

Ya know, there’s a saying saying if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s what Vine street has going on here. I have stopped her various times to meet friends and get a quick bite and I absolutely love this place.
I’ll mention from the jump that it is a cash-​only establishment, so make sure you hit your ATM before moseying over. The second to the last time I was here I ordered the buffalo chicken wings. What I loved is that they weren’t too salty or too greasy. The flavor was good and they were of good size. I think the ranch that they make is home made. They have a great selection of beers as well.
What I also love is that every time I go the service is always great from the servers and bar staff. The hostess can be hit or miss. The one we had the last time my friend and I went didn’t greet us or bother moving from the hostess stand when we arrived. We ended up walking to the bar in the back just to be told we couldn’t sit there because there was no server. So we had to walk back to the same bland hostess. By this time, there were 2 more parties ahead of ours. But it’s cool. I love that they have plenty of seating and in the center of the main room they have some large tables that can seat people community style. You can make some new friends with your neighbors. :)
One of my friends and I’s favorite things about Vine is the cute gypsy Jazz band, La Pompe Jazz. They play there often and add a nice feel to the environment. I’d say they definitely add class to a hippy place. But the hippy-​feel is great too. I will keep coming back to Vine, if not for the good beer, for the music alone.
Food: 4 Stars
Service: 4 for the servers, 2 for the hostess
Atmosphere: 5 Stars
La Pompe Jazz: 5 Stars :)

I only came here once for a brew and nachos. The people were crazy friendly which really helped this review go from 3 stars to 4. I think I had a blackberry wheat beer or something and it was fantastic. The nachos were not over the top huge but perfect size portion for 2. My brother and I TOOK THEM DOWN!
All in all I really liked this pace, The spot smelled really good and Id like to try the food.

This place was good, but didn’t wow me. I consider the fact that they don’t take credit cards to be a huge pain and would definitely deter me from going there spontaneously when there are so many other delicious places that do!
The beer list is unique and delicious, and I love the Blackberry Wheat and the Basil Saison (so different!). I had the burrito with green chili, which, once again was good but not anything special. Good service, neat atmosphere. I expected it to be much more divey, and not so much a cool restaurant where a lot of families would be having dinner.
If I had some cash to blow I’d come back, but I don’t see myself dying to return any time soon (except I do want to try their brunch!)
