A delicious breakdown of why you should be eating at Citypub and Burger!
Citypub and Burger is your classic neighborhood pub. There’s a restaurant side and a bar side, multiple TVs playing various sports or news channels, and a multitude of beers available on tap or in bottles or cans. Their burgers and green chili have won several local awards over the years, which is surprising when you see the restaurant itself. Citypub is tucked away behind a gas station and looks unassuming from the outside.
Inside is a reasonably well-lit establishment, for a bar. When I went during lunch there were only three or four other groups there, but the ambience makes it easy to see how it can fill up for Broncos games and trivia nights. They use a seat yourself system, so my group chose a table and very promptly had a waitress asking for our drink orders. The variety of drinks came out within about five minutes, and we ordered our food. Everyone got the award-winning Citypub Burger, except one coworker who chose a quesadilla instead.

Considering our waitress seemed to be the only one working that afternoon, we received our orders quite quickly - about 20 minutes. The burgers were all cooked exactly as we’d ordered them, and were very juicy and delicious. Their ‘special sauce,’ which is made in-house and resembles a thousand island dressing, was spread evenly across the whole burger, but wasn’t overused and didn’t overpower the burger itself. I can definitely understand why this burger has won several awards. While I didn’t try it myself, my coworker said that her quesadilla was good as well.

When we were done, our waitress was more than happy to split our check and only took about five minutes to do so. I was genuinely impressed with her. Even though she was the only one on duty on the floor, she was happy and polite the whole time. We never waited an abnormal amount of time for anything, and we all left thoroughly satisfied.
Overall, this restaurant was amazing. The food was delicious and filling, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the ambience was really enjoyable. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, if you haven’t tried Citypub and Burger, you really should. You can find them at 3575 S. Yosemite St., Denver, CO, 80237, or CLICK HERE to go to their website.
