Doghouse Tavern

I have to agree with the other negative reviews. Bad beer selection, they have the normal domestics and a couple of micros like upslope and tommyknocker which really are regional now. The. food was okay, but not anything to be excited about. It’s bar food. The worst is the service, they spend their time flirting with everyone rather then taking care of their patrons. The atmosphere is pretty lame and the crowd is 45 and over. It has the potential to be a great little spot IF they improve their food quality, add additional beer choices and greatly improve their service. The atmosphere is really drab. I get that it’s doghouse tavern, but the theme is only noticed by the 1000 small photo frames of black and white pictures of dogs. This place is one of those alcoholic hangouts. If you just want a drink with no frills this is the spot. If you want a «experience» choose one of the 100 other brewpubs that offer something unique. This place is nothing unique. Sorry, no more of my $$ will be going to this establishment. Do something to impress me in the realm of either food, drinks, atmosphere or service none of which impressed me here.

Think I just found my new little hide out. Love how cozy and tucked away it is. Came in to a friendly greeting, not use to being called a kid lol. Seems like a cool place so far. And their wings smell delicious! Will be back soon to try the food!

I was in the area during dinner time and decided to check this place out. I ordered the fried mushrooms, a basket of onion rings, and the Good Ol’ Boy burger with fries. The mushrooms were okay. It comes with a side of ranch that was flavored with what I believe to be dill. Very overpowering. Not a fan of the ranch. The onion rings were basic beer battered and nothing special. The burger was best part of everything I ordered. The meat was juicy and the bacon crisp. It was quite large and I could only finish half of it. The accompanying fries were nicely seasoned and crisp.
Service was friendly, but a bit slow. I’m assuming it’s called the Doghouse due to all the pictures of dogs on the wall. It’s located at the end of a strip mall, so there is ample parking.

This place used to be «ok» now it’s just bad. Used to have a decent steak sandwich and a good spicy veggie wrap … Neither are on the menu anymore. The booze selection is slim. The wait staff is HORRIBLE. I mean horrible. The greeting is «what do you want» … We hadn’t even been offered menus yet. After we got our food we never saw our server again, I had to ask another server for our check. All burgers at our table were over cooked. No vegetarian options on the menu. So much for a neighborhood bar.

food was amazing got the chicken nachos were to die for hand made tostadas. the people that go there are really respectful.

Had the Loco Dog. Decently spicy, pretty good but I wish I got a burger instead. $ 2.50 Coors made it worth the visit. Good customer service with a friendly staff.

Great pub food, decent beer selection. Would like to see more craft beers. Pub salad is fresh and crisp and they use real lettuce, not the iceberg junk! Fries are arguably the best in Denver.

We stopped in after doing the thrift shops in the area, (which I found rather unimpressive relative to driving time). Unilocal said that this place had killer burgers. This is true. I got the Texas Burger. My son got the sliders. Both were phenomenal. Skip the Mac n chz. It’s just kraft, and it’s not worth an extra 1.50 to sub for fries, which they say are hand cut. I’m a bit suspicious of the hand cut fries claim, but they were pretty darn good, so I don’t think I care. Just go with fries. They’re good. And, they’re included. The burgers were cooked medium. The buns were fresh and toasted. And, KU whopped up on TX while we ate. Good deal all around. Servers were very personable, worked as a team to get food and tickets out, and made us feel welcome in what seems like one of those locals only joints. Also, that BBQ sauce had something special going on. Green chile for sure but that wasn’t all. I’ll be back to investigate next time I’m in the area.

Been here a couple times before earlier in the day with good food and service. Tonight was a packed house, but the was not enough servers to go around. Only 3 in the whole place. My husband’s first beer had a solid mark of lipstick left on the glass. We ordered salads that came seconds before the meal. I could see our food sitting in the food window for a good 10 minutes before it was even brought. I don’t know if someone called on sick, or poor scheduling was involved. Clearly just not enough staff for a full house. But lipstick on a «clean» glass, not cool. Normally the food is good, as long as it doesn’t sit in the window forever. My husband’s sandwich was soggy.

Love this place! Food is so awesome… great weekday specials too! Service is friendly. Two girls running the entire front (bar, dining, and patio) and didn’t effect service or wait time at all. And how can you not like a bar that allows your dog on the patio and has photos of dogs all over the walls?! So glad this place is in our neighborhood!

The patrons were friendly, as were some staff. But it was hardly welcoming and never got a hello, thank you, etc. I don’t think this was on purpose, but the staff when I visited were pretty oblivious to details. For example:
— I ordered a whiskey and coke, for example, and the barkeep poured vodka. 2 out of 3 times.
— She mentioned that the night was a bit slow, but then proceeded to wash and loudly stack glasses right in front of me, which wasn’t my idea of winding down. I covered my ears but this clue wasn’t noticed.
— I wanted something to snack on, but didn’t want a full meal and so I asked if they did half-​portions. The reply was no, because they food is «great.» I would have liked to have tried the some wings, but the minimum order was $ 10 for 8, which might be the most pricey in town.
This bar is out of the way, but based on my experience, isn’t worth going out of one’s way to visit.

When my wife and I moved into our new house we decided to try this Tavern that was just a block away. Three fights broke out. Not that I don’t like a good brawl every once in a while it but it was a bit ridiculous. The food was alright

Ironically, when I walked into this dog-​themed sports bar, Sarah McLaughlin’s «Angel» was playing… and then the music got better. Much to my dismay (but not surprise) because it’s called «Doghouse,» no dogs allowed. The burger was very good and juicy, probably a juicier medium/​medium-​well… Or maybe it was greasy. I’m unsure, but I liked it nonetheless. The bacon, Swiss, & mushrooms on mine were pretty tasty. The fries were generic and disappointing (so much seasoning potential!), but edible. The double burger was comparable to the ¹⁄₃ or ½lb at other places. I went at 2pm, so it was quiet with just a bunch of people sitting at the bar, so I can’t speak much for the crowd, but it seems casual and friendly. There’s a jukebox and a pool table… I imagine people come here to party, but it seemed like the afternoon crowd was just relaxing. Patio has a garage-​window opening, which I imagine is nice in the summer.
DISABILITY-​FRIENDLINESS: Restrooms both have a disability stall. There are tables, booths, and tall tables, as well as the bar itself… You may have to weave in and out of chairs a little, but it’s overall very flat, smooth, and open.
GENDER-​FRIENDLINESS: seems pretty neutral. I doubt you’d get harassed, except by maybe a random asshole. Bathrooms are multi-​person occupancy. Both have at least one stall for privacy (men’s only has one stall, 2 urinals).

I was very surprised.
We happened to be in the area, and didn’t want to eat crizap. We Unilocaled of course, and found this place. There were comments about burgers and good service so we figured why not?
He had a burger (single) and I had a burger (double, heh). We ordered tots and fries, plus drinks.
The burgers were actually VERY good. My husband rarely compliments anything, even real magic or unicorns, but he complimented this burger, and this says something.
Definitely good food, good drinks and a good place. A nice neighborhood joint and definitely a good place to stop in, if you’re in the area.
Highly recommended!

Awesome food. Cheap prices. Great beer. Tonya, the waitress was great. This was a hit.

Awesome bar, great bartenders, somewhat of a hidden location in the shopping center. Nice open space, sweet patio, nothing too fancy!

This is where you want to go to «do your time» when the line at the DMV next door is hours long.
Not so relevant for this review, but should you be employing this strategy, on the day I was here, the DMV averaged about 2 mins per number… Meaning I had 2+ hours to kill to cover the time between #600 and #674. That’s time for lunch and two beers.
The place is a little hard to find — it’s really tucked away. It’s at the far south end of the section of strip mall containing the DMV. From Home Depot, go east across a though-​driveway to the other section of buildings. The bar faces south.
As far as the bar itself… slightly too nice for dive. There’s a jukebox, pool table, a few TVs, and a golf game for entertainment. 12 taps: 6 macro lagers (bud and friends), 3 great divide, blue moon, Tommyknocker maple brown, and NB seasonal. The usual bottles. Big bar with seating for over a dozen, hi tops, tables, and a few booths.
The burgers are pretty solid, very homestyle with a buttered, toasted bun. Burgers come with fries or house-​made, crispy, skin-​on chips.
Overall, tasty food, pretty solid beer selection, and okay ambiance. About a thousand times better than sitting in line at the DMV.

Went there for lunch on road trip for work. Excellent burgers. Doghouse is a must try when in town.

One of my clients insisted on going to this place for lunch. I was skeptical at first, it looks like a dive bar that would have terrible food, but boy was I wrong. The food was great. I’d come here more often if I lived nearby.

My favorite bartender from another establishment is now working here and that is what has brought me to this bar. I have been here a few times in the past and also when it was Bear Valley Inn. The doghouse is much nicer, cleaner and friendlier than the old BVI was. They feature Jim Beam for $ 3 all day! My favorite!!! The food menu is better than the average bar with smoked wings, lots of burgers and an interesting take on giant hotdogs. The nachos are different than at other bars with chips layed out and drizzled with guacamole, sour cream and other goodies.
Very clean, fun and friendly!
