Degree Metropolitan Food + Drink

Never knew about this place until The Colorado Mammoth Lacrosse team had a celebration party night here. Located right in the hotel of Courtyard Marriott, is a beautiful modern looking restaurant and bar. Outdoor seating available and in a nice secluded spot from the busy street. Inside there is a bar and an upstairs area. The wait staff was nice, and did well with everyone there for the Mammoth event. The menu does change, I looked online prior to eating there and found something that sounded good but when we arrived it was no longer on the menu. The menu is not very big at all just some selective choices for the bar. However the menu does cater to a good amount of people. I got the Vegan veggie burger, which is nice that they note it is vegan just because I can’t have dairy. Other American bar food choices were on the menu as well. The food is good and hot when arriving not to mention pretty fast service. If your ever staying in the hotel or just near the Pepsi Center and need a bar to go to with some good food definitely give Degree a try !

This place is great for food and drink before an event at the Pepsi Center. You can valet park your car there and get it after the event for $ 4. The restaurant supports and employs the students at Metro State and is just way better than the sports bars that are your other options across the street from the arena. Great food, drink, service, atmosphere.

The open kitchen revealed that the oven had been turned off and we’d not be getting a dessert for the evening. Swing and a miss Marriott
The Brussels sprouts were very good. The sever was very attentive at first then lacked in Service as our meal continued. My girlfriend and I had a hard time choosing from the menu so we asked the sever and followed his recommendations. I had the ramen and I could not eat it lucky my girlfriend liked it enough to eat a few bites of it so I didn’t have to send it back. she got a chicken sandwich which I ended up eating, well I eat the chicken the bacon and tomatoes cuze there was so much aoil on the bun and lettuce was just overwhelming. The soba noodles salad was very good and was very nice the cook made the exception to our menu substitution. We then proceeded to order a desert that was also recommended by the server, after our sever argued with the cook for five minutes he came back to give his explanation for no dessert and my girlfriend said «well just take the check thank you.» The open kitchen revealed that the oven had been turned off and we’d not be getting a dessert.

I had the opportunity to try almost everything on their menu for the past two weeks. Really good food and very nice professional service.

I would give 10 if I could. If you are going to a show at Pepsi Center, this is totally the go-​to place. Food is great; service is outstanding. We went for dinner before a show at Pepsi Center, and due to a scheduling mixup for an event at the adjacent springhill suites hotel, people who were going to the event at the hotel ended up having to go to Degree to obtain drinks which led to a lot of people waiting at the bar for drinks which was totally unrelated to dinner at Degree. The staff was totally gracious and clearly were doing their best to make everyone happy, to the extent that we were given our first round of drinks for dinner. Keep in mind that this is also a training experience for students enrolled at the Metro State hospitality degree program, as the restaurant is affiliated with the school and proceeds go to the degree program (which is why i choose to go to this restaurant). This night’s experience was clearly a test under fire, and as far as I am concerned, they all came through with flying colors. Plus they have reasonably priced valet parking through the hotel if you are attending a concert at pepsi center. Service in Denver is at times questionable, but at Degree you will receive the best as they are training others to manage restaurants so excellence is their goal.

Just wow. The service was great, nice and very friendly. The open seating plan and bar seats to watch the chefs cook added to the unique and upscale atmosphere. The food is fantastic, and the dessert cake I had just melted in my mouth. No doubt I will be happy to come here again in the near future.

This place has amazing drinks and food! And good friendly staff! I would highly recommend this place for drinks or food! Getting off work and you want a quick drink? Hit up this place! Stephen was my waiter and checked on my table multiple times to make sure we were doing okay and if we needed anything! He was also incredibly knowledgeable about all the wines on the menu! Melissa was the bartender who made my drink, I ordered a raspberry lemon drop martini and it was amazing!

My husband found this place after the NCAA games. It is very close to the Pepsi Center. It was almost empty, but filled up after a bit. It’s a teaching/​cooking school restaurant. I was very impressed with the clean and modern interior (I watched one of the staff scrub down a beer keg refrigerator before replacing it — great attention to detail). The cocktails are smart and fun. I had a raspberry lemon drop. My husband had a jalepeno martini. We were too full to eat much, but did sample the chips, salsa, and guac. it’s very clear that the people here care about the experience. Every bite was delicious and unique. I’m excited to return when I have a bigger appetite!

Wow! I was reluctant at first but when I had a taste of this amazingly fresh salad I was in LOVE
This was my side salad to their chicken sandwich –a taste like no other! The green chili cheese was decant!

Awesome service great food fantastic environment Stephen Food and Beverage Manager was great we will be back!

A great Thai noddle bowl, awesome steak frittes and sumptuous carnita empanada. Innovative cocktails like Jasmine Gin Fizz and Rosemary Salty Dog. The university at Metro State has provided a top notch learning experience and the food, presentation, and wait staff reflect the desire to be the best of the best!

This was a great find, was meeting my friend at campus for lunch and had a fabulous experience; both the staff and the food were incredible. The carnita empanada was so moist and flavorful, I highly recommend it if you want to get an appetizer. The burger was cooked perfectly to order and the toppings are fun and unique, you can’t get a chicharron on a burger just anywhere.

What an awesome place. Excellent food and an amazing staff to go with it. After eating an excellent burger we were treated to a crazy good dessert, PBJ sandwich with bacon and Nutella, topped with toasted banana ice cream! Wow what a treat. Kudos to the all the kitchen staff!

Great spot to gab a drink and some delicious food before an Av’s game or concert. Service is always great, drafts fresh and food creative. Definitely check out the ramen, easily holds up to some of the best ramen joints in town.

First and foremost this place is a hidden gem! Tucked away In the Spring Hill Suites downtown. This restaurant has so much to offer. From beginning to end the service and food was superb! They do a great burger, I highly recommend you try it.

Interesting ingredients, easy access to experimental, gourmand entrees, appetizers, and salads. Very few patrons on our visit to Degree, a Monday evening/​pre-​Avalanche home game/​dinner hour. Foodies, locals, and adventurers should check this place out. Don’t be dismayed by its state of being undiscovered. The only thing holding it back is the well– meaning, but lackadaisical service. High point: one of the chefs coming out and talking with us excitedly about his future plans.
