So I've had B&B beers many times in the past, at beer fests and at Falling Rock. Somehow I had never made it down here. Stopped by after visiting the cherry creek farmers market. The location was not at all what I expected - this is back in a mostly residential district - nice pub looking building. Main bar area is fairly dark - looks like a nice old style pub, long bar. All the brewing equipment is in the back. We sat on the patio - a nice large covered area off of the dining room. Samplers were in quantities of 3 beers, and they had enough on tap to do 3 different samplers. All the beers were better than average, with some being very nice. Food we tried was good - I had the fish and chips and the wife had fish tacos. I'll definitely be back to try more of the food, and have larger samples of the well made beers.

Vibe: Sat in the tented "patio" parking lot extension next to snow, but was warm and pretty comfortable. The inside was very old school 70s American idea of what an English pub would look like inside. Carpeted floors in a bar, it's a bold choice.
Quality: House brewed beers were excellent, and extensive. The Elderberry Release the Hounds Barleywine was the gem.
Service: Quick, friendly, knowledgeable (recommended the Elderberry), spot on.
Food: Comfort food, everyone at the table was super happy.
World class bar, was really impressed.

Olde English pub vibe here. Moody lighting and lots of wood as well as a copper bar. On a Friday at 4 the bar however is very full and me alone could barely squeeze in. Looms like a cozy place to bring the family and have a meal in the dining room section.
Beer is consistent and tasty with not much change going on in their recipes at all. The malts in their amber beers are perfect everytime.
Service seemed to be spread a bit thin, and servers didn't seem all that interested in serving me, but they do read body language and recognize when you want a beer.
Selection is good, but it feels like they are going for mass appeal instead of sticking to English styles. Definitely some creative recipes here though.

I've been here several times and really enjoy this place. The beer they brew here is for the most part on point. The food is above average and is well made from a varied menu. The whiskey list is outstanding. If I had to knock anything at Bull And Bush it would be that the service is sometimes indifferent. But the bottom line is that this is a pretty good watering hole with pretty good beers.

This was one of my stops during a recent visit to Denver.
Kudos to the management for doing a great job during this Covid mess. Tables were well spaced and they augmented their nice beer garden with a large tent.
The inside is dominated by a large center bar surrounded by seating areas. There are plenty of TVs inside and out, so easy to watch a game.
Our server was quick with beers and was patient as we perused the large menu. The food was a hit!
They have a large selection of both house and guest beers. I enjoyed their Vienna lager, APA and IPA.
This place may be a little too Old School for some trend chasers, but we really enjoyed it!

This is just a fun brew pub to go. Larger menu with good/great food. Surprised at how much I enjoyed the beer (both draft and bottle). Good family environment with sports on the telli. Will be back the next time that we are in Denver visting my son!

We stopped here because it had some decent reviews and it was near our hotel. Certainly glad we went to Bull & Bush, and will be back again before we leave Denver.
It's a dark place. The bar is fairly well-lit, but the tables are more in the dark. Lots of dark wood in this place. But it's comfortable. There's a covered patio on the outside. My wife and I sat inside, at the bar, and were entertained by some locals. Great people to talk with, and isn't that the point of neighborhood bars?
Large beer selection, both on tap and in bottles. Crowlers are available. Mostly Bull & Bush beers, but several guests also.
Food was very good, as was the service.

Stopped in for lunch. They had seven of their own beer on tap, and a guest tap list of Belgians, German beers, and some nice regional beers.
Their beers were all pretty solid, and with more time, would've had a few more glasses of theirs. By solid I mean they were tasty representations of the style within the style. No top notch offerings, but above average quality and flavor in all beers.
The service was on point, quite friendly, and at an acceptable level. The food was nice and plentiful, if on the high side of normal price for lunch. The house beers were nicely priced, the fine guest offerings also tended towards the higher price range, however.
There is a high probability we will return to this place next opportunity we get.

Funky old British Pub style place. Really dark inside, but also a really lively crowd. Seems like it's kinda stuck in the 70's/80's, but I liked it.
Quality of their beers were pretty good. Neither were great, but both I tried were solid.
Service was quite good. It was happening on Saturday night here, but they got us a table quickly, and our server was friendly and prompt.
Selection was great. Quite of few of their own beers, (10 or so) plus another 25+ guest brews. So lots to choose from.
Food was quite tasty, and definitely much better than your average pub.
Overall, a very cool and fun old school place. Would visit often if I lived in the area.

I had a pitcher of the Man beer after a long flight. Very laid back atmosphere and it seemed like a drinker's quiet hangout. I would highly recommend it.
