Denver Stockyard Saloon The Yard Bar

If you’re traveling through Denver on I-70, looking for a down to earth, western saloon with heart, history and good food and drink you have to stop at the Denver Stockyard Saloon (at the National Western Stock show grounds). Follow your gps to get here cuz it’s a little weird, even if it’s close to I-70.

We had a large party for a group dining party (~40 people) after a meeting held next door at the CSU Spur Campus. We appreciated the convenience of the location, the food was excellent, atmosphere made it easy to kick back, and overall fit our price point for a larger party. We greatly appreciated several options to choose from for dinner entrees and points of contact were highly responsive. Our dining event was on a Thursday, so the bar wasn't too crowded which made getting drinks easy. We would definitely have another event here in the future!

Stopped here before going to the Grizzly Rose and LOVED it. Amazing atmosphere and delicious food. We got the patty melt and it was one of the tastiest I’ve tried. The bartender, Jesus, was so friendly and helpful and said he’d been there many many years and they’ve maintained the same quality of food and ingredients his whole time there. Can’t wait to go back and try more food!

If you're ever going to The Grizzly Rose I highly recommend you make a pitstop here for an amazing bar experience. The chili con queso is Soooo good with the green chili! The Ranchers Chicken tenders were delicious and the Texas sized burrito had great flavor. I need to go back and try that steak sandwich!

What an awesome local hidden gem! In the nowadays Denver with heavy gentrifications, it’s so refreshing to discover places like this - authentic original interior, humble local vibe, great prices on everything, friendly staff and people gathering. I heard it’s crazy busy during the stock show and as a foreigner I can’t wait to come back to see all the cowboys and cowgirls and hear their stories!
