    Gets the job done, but keep expectations in line. The food is all pretty generic and served straight from the Sysco truck to your table. 🤷🏽‍♂️ However, the service is great, the atmosphere is as you’d expect for a bar/grill directly across from a stadium, and it’s everything you could ask for in a pre game meal. Burgers. Fries. Sandwiches. Some pretty bad guacamole. But hey..you can eat and walk to the game.

    I really love this bar. It’s an amazing pit stop before or after a show at the Ball Arena. The staff were amazing and efficient . Their set of food and drinks were fantastic! It’s a bit pricey but that is what happens when one goes downtown, especially after the street from the stadium. Their selection of music was also amazing!

    We came here to pregame before the AVs & Lightning Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I expected delays with getting food and slower service due to the staffing shortages impacting the restaurant industry. I was wrong. Our service was amazing. Our food came out fastener than we thought possible & it was great! I had the turkey club on rosemary brioche. I could eat this bread every day! My hubby got the Steak Bites & they were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Way to go, Brooklyn’s - you have mastered serving the masses.

    Our server, Scott, was great. The drinks were good and the cheese sticks very tasty. The chicken burrito was okay but my nuggets burger was really dry. We will be back anyway cause Brooklyn's is so convenient to Ball Arena. I do thank you for getting back to me, we were there at 4:30 before the 7:30 AVS game which should have been pretty early and I had no problem with getting there that early. But I really don't think the dryness of the burger had anything to do with timing. It was not meant to start a problem. In fact, I love the pulled pork and had just thought that I would try something different. I will be back and I will stick with the pulled pork. Thank you for getting back to me,

    Had dinner here before an Avalanche game. Timely service and friendly staff. Veggie burger was delicious! Also just the right amount of food so we didn't have to take a to-go box back to our car. Note: You might want to get here early as this place can get extremely busy before games. Will definitely be back!

    Scott is the most amazing server here. This guy gives world class service. My dad and I have been coming here since the Pepsi center opened. And Scott has been our server for as long as I can remember and he is AWESOME. If you visit this place ask for him as your server. Matt the GM is amazing also. This guy runs an A+++ business. With out him I believe that this place would be half the place that it is!!!

    The staff here is amazing! Bagira was the best server we ever had! Jesse was the manager this evening and she provided excellent service! She checked in us and made sure that we were well taken care of. We recommend this restaurant/bar to everyone for any event that Arena has!

    Came here for dinner before a game and it was fine, waiter even found a disposable mask for my friend to wear to the game! Came back after for a drink and the bartender was super rude and cut off my boyfriend because he didn't order his drinks fast enough?? Then a lady who said she worked there told my friend we had to know our order, which we did. They were both rude. I understand it was busy there but to blow off customers mid order is wild and sounds like you don't want a tip. I've read other recent reviews and it sounds like the same bartender is being rude to patrons. Probably shouldn't be working at a high volume bar by an arena...there are other ways to politely let customers know you'll give them a minute to get their order in when you're slammed.

    Seated us quickly right after an Avalanche game across the street. Great service and food, honestly one of the best burgers I ever ate! Pretty loud inside but it's to be expected following a home playoff win. Go Avs!

    Food was awful. Been here a few times and it all taste frozen and overcooked. Our server was very nice though. Fun to watch games and hang out but eat before you go!!

    Ate lunch here on Day 2 of the NBA Finals. Located right next to Ball Arena. The service was absolutely incredible. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich, and it was pretty dang good. I can imagine how the atmosphere was that night! I highly recommend if you're ever in the area.

  • 5/5 Joshua R. 5 months ago on Google
    Considering how busy this place gets for games and concerts, they do a great job. Service was acceptable, food is “good” not great. Food comes out fast which is what you want. Cool sports atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Wanda B. 5 months ago on Google
    I went here before a concert at Ball Arena. It was packed, but we easily found a table in the bar area. They had to clean it, but it didn't take long. The server was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. She took our drink order straight away and was able to answer the couple of questions I had about what drinks were available. She brought our drinks out before the waters we asked for, and my friend's drink had ice in it when she asked for no ice, but those are such minor things for how busy they were. We ordered a couple of appetizers - both were very fresh/hot. The Jalapeno Artichoke Dip I ordered was delish! I would definitely go back.

    Not bad close to Ball arena but you will pay the price. Parking is insane and food is okay.

  • 5/5 Philip G. 9 months ago on Google
    The restaurant and restrooms were clean and the food was delicious. The only downer about the experience was that the waiter was a bit spread out. One of the drinks was out and I had to scout out another waiter to assist. Once the drink was replaced there were no other issues. It helped that there was a variety of games being played on the countless tvs inside. Great experience but I'd suggest a couple additional staff members to help with the nearby event rush. Thank you for the great food, we'll be returning again for sure.

  • 5/5 Robin S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were seated right away amazingly because it was 2 hours before an Avalanche game! But..we had great service, ordered food and beers, no kids menu but they still found something yummy to order. :)

    Good place to go before games. Food is good. Can get crowded

  • 5/5 Felix V. 4 months ago on Google
    Had a great time here for my birthday yesterday! Food came out quick considering it was busy. Food wasn’t too bad either! And our server terrell was awesome. Very kind. All in all, would recommend.

    After working at Ball Arena, I stopped in to enjoy a French Dip Sandwich. The bartender was quick and friendly, and the food was very tasty! Besides things being a little pricey, I always enjoy myself here at Brooklyns.

  • 1/5 Sydney C. 4 months ago on Google
    Excellent service, horrible food! We’ve been coming to Brooklyns for over a decade and the food has become inedible. Got the sampler platter tonight. Wing sauce was drizzled over all the food. Mozzarella sticks weren’t cooked, barely warm and the cheese wasn’t even melted inside. Onion rings were soggy and cold. A hodgepodge nasty mess.

    It's very convenient if you go to the Ball Arena. You'll pay for that convenience of walking from the parking lot to grab a bite before your event. Although not as expensive as the $17 for a CAN of beer at the Ball Arena; this place is very expensive for a bar vibe and mediocre bar food. 4 beers and 1 order of quesadillas was $74 before tip. An itemized receipt was asked for but never given. If there's a next time, as we were out-of-state visitors, we'll have our little cooler and a light bite in our car under a beautiful tree; then go enjoy the show with a little more coin in our pocket

    My drink was good and the food was what I expected from a bar & restaurant but the service was asinine. I stood at the host stand ungreeted for 5 minutes until I had to approach them, my server was fantastic! Loved that guy, and my food runner was incredibly snarky when I asked him for some add ons I was missing. Not the way I wanted to enjoy a Nuggets win. From major highs to major lows.

  • 4/5 Mo D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere, gets packed right before Nuggets games, I usually got there a couple hours before the game started and could get a seat at the bar pretty easy. Pretty good food and a great selection of beers.

  • 3/5 Kevin F. 1 year ago on Google
    Convenient when nothing else is open after seeing a game/concert at Ball Arena. Service was good, food was average.

  • 3/5 The D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious but the service was very sub par. Waited for 20 minutes for our check as our waitress disappeared for a long period of time. Not something I plan to go out of my way to experience again.

  • 3/5 Owik 3. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool spot, crowds ebs and flows with the events at Ball Arena. Food was decent but a bit overpriced. On a Friday night they had 10+ tvs only playing one basketball game not the Denver Nuggets, was weird af.

  • 3/5 Fernando M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice location, good service, worst burger I've had in the US in 6 years. Tasteless and so dried that it was hard to swallow. Margaritas taste like lemonade, we had to order extra tequila shots.

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Yummy food right at my venue (Ball Arena).

  • 2/5 Katie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Three issue issues: overcharging, food and beverage quality, service. Server did not communicate to my dining mate who asked for a vodka Red Bull that he was charging for doubles. (They certainly weren’t doubles.) Each drink ended up costing $20. Would not have been difficult to ask and I don’t care how busy the restaurant is, that’s not acceptable. Server gave me 3 side options - fries, slaw, onion rings. Well, my soggy cold 8 onion rings were an additional $5, also not communicated. Wings were under sauced. Fries and onion rings soggy and cold. Bits of both burgers and the chicken in the Mac and cheese had a very acrid, burnt taste to them. Drinks were watered down - if I’m ever back here, I’d definitely only buy beer. Saw our server very infrequently. Had to ask multiple times for water. He spilled part of my drink on my partner when passing it over him, which was an odd way to deliver it anyway. He seemed to be spread too thin, and we weren’t able to discuss the billing issue with him and decided to just let it go. Won’t be back. Should have spent that much on food at the game; probably would have been better.

    Convenient place to eat and drink before a concert. Lots of TV’s for sports viewing. Food and drinks average.

  • 5/5 Bruce C. 1 year ago on Google
    Brooklyn's is an awesome location which offers amazing proximity to the arena. However what will keep me coming back is there soup selection. More specifically, their best soup is the chili, I can't recommend it enough as a soup fanatic. Great wings as well and drinks specials rotate. Go Avs Go!

  • 5/5 Georgia P. 2 years ago on Google
    We went there after State Wrestling finals to feed the Champs and enjoy the moment. Our Crazy groups were handled by Brandon and he was Amazing. Food was great, and the hot tea was a life saver. The entire Rye and part of Pueblo East were treated like family and they topped off the night with kindness and fun. When the bartender came over to be sure everyone has a safe way to hotels that's when I was sure this place is a goldmine. Will be back and hope everyone knows how special a place like this is especially during these trying times. Thanks again Brandon you are a sweetie.
