An old house made into a British-style pub, and a very spiffy one at that. The beer is average, but they have two cask ales on hand pump and an AMAZING selection of single malt Scotch (billed as the largest selection outside of the UK, over 200). Fullers London Porter and some other decent UK beer in bottles too.

Great place to go drink pints all day. This is one of my favorite spots in Denver, today the gave me a sampler of every beer including cask beer on the house. Tons of scotch available (i quit hard liquor), beer was good as well. Great food, great people, great place.

Oct 07 - Went the day before GABF around 4 pm and was astounded to find this place virtually empty, sav another GABF traveler and one or two other customers. More for me. Had two of their six house beers, both pretty good in the purist English style (they also offered a big list of guest brews). The service was tops and very friendly, and they even rolled out some really good homemade crisps to munch on. As a brewpub alone, this would rate very well. But this place’s Scotch selection is unbelievable. So if you’re a lover of the single malts of the distilled variety, this is a MUST visit.

Decent food. I really enjoy their wimpy (burger). The ambiance is really cool. I live a block away and I love this place. Off the beaten path. Friendly people, unreal selection of single malt whiskey, and seriously underrated beers. Give it a try.

Talk about atmosphere. The ales were more than satisfactory. The food selection and quality were outstanding. Parking was not so bad either. It really is a must do - but it is more family than grunge. Sort of the antithesis of Broadway Brewing. That’s not a downer for either, just that the fun is different in the two venues.

Has the whole cool British Pub theme going on. Bar area looks neat with all the single malt scotches hanging overhead. Fish and Chips where good (not your battered fish, but a good chuck of salmon). Beers are average and they did not have a sampler (although they sold me 1/2 pints).

I love this place. Decent brews, unreal single malt selection and good food. I actually like the burgers here quite a bit.

not too wild on the beer. scotch seems more the thing - amazing selection. hanging w/ the Austin crowd and boring TAR w/ tales of our sordid past was fun.

This is a great place to be a regular, and not a bad place for infrequent visitors. The real claim to fame is the simply stunning selection of single-malt scotches, including many ou-of-production distilleries (some at reasonable prices). The tiny brewery produces a respectable list of English ales (although the beers were at their best in the late 1990’s and need a little attention). The bar also supports a small range of imports (the selection used to be much better and included the hard-to-find Foelinfel Welsh Ale). Nice menu with some excellent options, if you know what to order. The dill havarti on a giant cracker with sliced apple is a nice treat. Amenities include dartboards and an odd English bumper pool table. Bartenders are of the surly-in-a-good way type. Just a few steps from the Denver Art Museum and walking distance from many other downtown attractions.

Visited in the evening after a session at the GABF 2005. It was certainly kind of surreal to see a red telephone box and a big Union Jack flag in the middle of Denver on my first visit to America ! Was obviously very busy but we did find a table and the atmosphere was friendly and lively. My friend tried 2 of the cask conditioned beers which we actually thought were warmer than most you would find in the UK. I went for two of the other home beers but all were quite quaffable and it was nice to be actually drinking pints after a run of 1 oz sampling. Great selection of single malt whisky here too if that is your thing.
