One of the best beer bars in Colorado. One block southwest along Blake from Coors Field. Wireless Internet is available.

Pretty crowed the 3 times I was there during GABF but in spiite of that the servants behind and in front of the counter were friendly and took there time. 69 taps and a good deal of bottles as well makes the selection exellent. Food OK and in plenty nice sitting outside in the sun.

We definitely visited Falling Rock at kind of a low point (the week before GABF festivities began), but there were still a ton of great beers on tap: RR (PtE, Blind Pig, Damnation), New Belgium (Eric’s Sour, La Fleur Misseur), and lots of other regional and international offerings. Solid beerlist, even for an off day. They also had bottles of Isabelle Proximus, though at $59 apiece. Nice outdoor patio area - it’s just too bad it looks out onto a parking lot. Loads of old bottles lining the wall, good selection of vegetarian food, and friendly people behind the bar. And free wireless. Definitely a worthwhile place to stop.

An oldie among great beer bars but still one of the best. Large and well-chosen selection (but where are the @#$! imperial stouts?) On this visit they had some great leftovers from a recent Russian River night. There are few places I know of that have a better beer culture. Friendly, unpretnetious/dank atmosphere, with solid but unimpressive bar food. Free wi-fi is a plus.

Nice bare with a large choise of Belgium Beers on draft and a lot of local brews. Really worth while

Great beer selection many Colorado favorites. Food is decent and they have a veggie burger. Patio seating and big screen TV. Sports bar and dive bar feel, not Lodo-esque. Great place to hang out. Better priced than Old C’s. Best beer bar in Denver. Check it out.

This is a fun place, right down the street from Coors field. We went right before a game and the place was packed. It didn’t stop the server from giving us great service and taking time to explain some brews. Food was decent, but I would go back for their extensive beer selection.

Lots of breweriana to keep your sights entertained, great bartender pouring a few free samples, and a top notch draft and bottle list. Good onion rings too. Sitting on the porch during a perfect Denver summer afternoon, drinking an awesome beer, is a pleasure. A must-stop in Denver, without a doubt.

Ever since I heard about Falling Rock, and was planning to visit Denver, I have wanted to visit this place. I am glad that I did! You walk in and you really feel that you are in a nice, laid-back, unpretentious tavern. The interior is dark, intimate and cozy despite the high ceiling. Decor consists mainly of hundreds of beer bottles, old tap handles, and classic beer advertisements. There are plenty of booths, quite a few tables, and even a few comfy chairs and a plush chesterfield, making it a perfect place to get together with a few friends for chat and suds. Waitstaff are quick, alert and friendly. You really feel welcome at this place. Food is decent, if not outstanding, but who goes to a place like this for the chow, anyway? Their beer selection is fabulous, including plenty of locals and craft brews, as well as some fine imports. This is a must if ever you visit Denver.

Best beer bar in Colorado by a long shot. Knowledgable staff, and a large, rotating selection. They generally have a number of beers that aren’t on the menu, so you’d be advised to ask your server what else they have in bottle or tap. The patio makes this a better location in the summer, although it can get a bit crowded on a summer weekend.
