Wynkoop Brewing Company is a huge and spacious place. During my visit there were March Madness games on. We headed up the stairs and hung out up there. There was about 15 or so taps available. They have a ton of pool tables and darts on the top floor. I really liked the wooden floors, which added to the atmosphere.
Wynkoop is billed as "Denver's Oldest Brew Pub", opening in 1988. This is pretty cool when taken into context in the great craft beer history of the area.
I tried the B3K Schwarz Bier and Patty's Chili Beer, which was different. I didn't try any food during my visit, but the menu looks good.
Yet another solid and viable brew pub located close to Coors Field. Rockies fans are really lucky to have all of this awesome craft beer to enjoy before & after games.

This is essential Denver. A late 19th Century warehouse preserved right across from Union Station (which has had an unprecedented regeneration in the last five years.) Started in the late 20th Century, Wynkoop played an important role in fostering Denver's innovative and still rapidly growing craft beer culture. Its founder became Mayor and laid many of the plans for the City's incredible revival as a magnet for Millennials (who also like beer and cool cities.) That Mayor is now Governor... so maybe brewers make better leaders than lawyers. At any rate, a great center-of-the-action Vibe at Wynkoop
I'm told there is service on two floors, but I never got past the bar on the first floor. It was packed at lunch and almost as packed at dinner. Probably some twenty taps of their brews and hosted another five Coloradan breweries. I had a flight of three each time I went there. Servers seemed to enjoy their work and the bartender was very knowledgable. My sandwich I would not have again. The menu looked like standard pub-grub.
By now, there are better pubs than Wynkoop. But a lot like Anchor, you want to visit where the pioneers first started in that city.

Cool place in Downtown Denver. In a big old historic building right near Union Station. I really liked the layout, and just walking around the place.
Quality was OK, but nothing special. It's pretty cool that this place is one of the original micro breweries in Denver / Colorado. But the two beers I tried were just a notch or two above average.
Service was pleasant enough. But she was not only slow, but also forgot part of our order.
Selection was good. Wynkoop not only had quite a few of their own beers on tap, but they also had a handful of guest brews.
Food was not bad, but kind of forgettable.
Overall? Eh... not bad, but not great. I am glad I checked this place out, but I won't be in a rush to return anytime soon.
