    Just came here for Cinco de Mayo. There were only about 4 or 5 tables and the waitress was exceptionally slow. I’ve been a waitress before and this place is hemorrhaging money. Took forever for some queso blanco to come out. Couldn’t get a refill on water, and all the tables were soo dirty. I literally watched about 20 people come and turn away because there was nowhere clean to sit. What a mess. Waitressing is so easy, if you cared about money, you’re fast, efficient, and you turn over tables. Simple and easy concept. This place clearly doesn’t have it. Will never be coming back again.

    The vibe and energy inside is dope. ($25 entry fee smh) The bartenders need work they all look miserable, upset, like they don't want to be there. & it is pretty hot it there. No A/C I'm pretty sure. But it is one if the better clubs I've been to not going to lie. Would of gave 5 stars if bartenders didn't take over 25 mins per order.

    Lime is tucked away on the third level of the Pavilions on the 16th street mall. I have been here several times before. The food is always good, the margaritas are fantastic. Service tends to be a bit slow and the wait staff are friendly, though you may catch an attitude at times. That is almost part of the atmosphere. This time my kids ordered the street tacos and chicken fajitas. They were tasty and finished their dish. I had the stuffed avocado with an addition of the shrimp scorpions. I would recommend the place and will likely return.

    The slowest service I’ve ever had. We had a party of 10; and it took 1.5 hours for us to get our food. 90 minuets. Missing drinks, appetizers, and the meals were wrong once they came out. We will never return. This was one of the worse restaurant experiences I’ve ever had.

    The waiters/owner were so rude. Dj sucked and the watered down pineapple chaser was disgusting. Your better off somewhere else. Do no recommend.

    Yeah, the service can be slow when there’s like a million people here on a Saturday night. But y’all. This place STILL rules. There are tons of people here FOR A REASON. There’s really nothing like it in Denver. A lot of regulars and super nice staff. 🙂 Good music. Gorgeous people everywhere. Ladies night on Fridays (come before 10:30 for free entry) My favorite part though? The security team. I ADORE those boys. They’re awesome - respectful, observant, easy to talk to, legitimately some of the best protector-est dudes I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I feel super safe and comfortable coming here alone, which means the world to me. Live, laugh, love Lime 😋

    I was in Denver for a few days and I wanted to experience the nightlife for a few hours. I came to this place and although the music was great the atmosphere was a very mixed crowd. Didn’t feel comfortable being there. I’m from Miami and I’m use to a diverse culture but I don’t know. Was just off

    The night club is a for kids 15-21 years old DJ mixes horrible. It's not for adults, he played house and techno all night a few spanish music. It was not a good experience. If you are looking for goof music and crowed this is not it.

    Reserved a VIP table for the night club and had the worst experience. They charged a gratuity for service that was not provided all night. The whole night the waitress only went twice to the table and we had to go to the bar to order. We tried to address this issue with the owner and she was very rude about it. The bathrooms are disgusting and one of the stalls is missing the door. I do not recommend paying VIP service at this club.

    If I could give 0 stars, I would. We reserved a table and the entire night we were there the server only went twice. We had to go look for her multiple times in order to get waters and she was just refusing to give them to us. It was frustrating to have to pay a forced gratitude fee and have to go up to the bar for something only to find the waiters just standing in the back. Our table area next to the dj smelled like pee. The bathrooms were disgusting and the Dj did not deliver.

    If it wasn’t for the service this place would have 5 stars. The food and drinks were top notch. We had the edamame and Choriqueso that tasted delicious. My girlfriend loved all of the flavored margarita’s and my Mexican Mule was delicious. The tequila selection is incredible as well. Service wise, well we were just kind if forgotten about. It was hard to get a drink. Our appetizers took about 3 minutes to come out. They forgot to bring chips for the dip or the sauce for the edamame until we reminded them. I’d go back again and just really hope for better service.

    If I could give this place Zero stars I would! I had got two margarita drinks and when I tried it, it tasted just like water. (Mind you this was barely going to be my second drink of the night) then I asked my husband to try it and he agreed. He then told the Bartender Diana if she could switch them out to something else instead as they tasted just like water. She refused. Then I politely told her right after that they tasted just like water and mentioned to her also that the second drink we had no one touched it for her to try it so she could realize that we weren’t lying. She then replied “no I’m not going to if you want another drink your going to have to pay for it” and rudely walked away. She then continued to be disrespectful and responded again with the same thing. And once we left my boyfriend’s hat was stolen after he paid the security staff $10 to watch it. Many other people were also upset because theirs wasn’t there either even after paying the securities to watch theirs as well. Please save yourself from this horrendous place! First time there tonight and don’t plan to step in there again!

    For being an establishment uptown, you would expect a little more class from the people working there. It is unbelievably crowded at the nightclub. Too crowded to be considered under code. They were charging $35 a person to get in, and the place was already past the maximum capacity. You could not get past the main entrance, or get on the dance floor. The manager was too drunk and aggressive to the point of pushing. We really do not care what kind of people you encounter, you do not get to physically engage anyone. We visited more than a year ago, and our experience was more pleasant back then. It wasn't always this bad. Lesson learned, we get to choose where to go and not go, and we'll never come back to this place.

    The server added a $24 charge for something we didn’t purchase. I’ve tried contacting the company but their email is just setup to bounce and no one answers the phone. Don’t come here. The food was also terrible, margaritas tasted like straight tequila, my friends taquito looked over cooked with barely anything inside of it, my carnitas tacos were very salty.

    Came here for lunch and would not come back. Server never came to ask us if we wanted anything. We had to wave her down. There was only one other table seated. Talk about horrible service. The queso tasted like Taco Bell queso. Did not recommend this place at all.

    This place charges 25$ entry on Saturday night and isn’t even full. What a joke! Save your money people. Oh and tables are free as long as you order a bottle starting at a minimum of $250.

    They don't let you wear hats but their staff wears hats. When you reserve bottles and a table they still make you pay entrance. Vibe is cool latin music is good.

    After an insane concert, Edwin made the night an absolute home run. The bar was fun, the music was groovy, and an insanely strong impression was made. We will be back to LIME, and can’t wait for the opportunity.

    Used to love going to Lime at least a couple times a month before they became a weekend only late night club. Keystone and Winter Park are too far to drive just for a good restaurant. Too bad.

    I like the 3 tacos with grilled chicken here and the cilantro rice. Also verde salsa is good BUT I usually do carry out and today the person at register was just rude and unfriendly with me.
