Not only should LoDo be visited, but also Thirsty Lion. Tasty salmon pizza, fried prawns and salmon appetizers will impress you at the first bite. Nothing can be better than tasting good Brezeln, brownies and sundaes. This place is famous for delicious draft beer, house wine or scotch. Great coffee, juice or lemonade are what may make you come back to this bar.
Thirsty Lion is perfect to сelebrate your wedding. The pleasant hostess welcomes visitors all year round. The professional service is a big benefit of this place. Prices are found average here. There is a comfortable atmosphere and fancy decor at this spot. 4.4 is what this bar got from the Google rating system.

LoDo was hopping so we were happy to get a table easily. The restaurant was busy. We sat inside and it was super loud and chaotic. (Avs night but it was early, 430.) Choose the patio if you go, seems like a much nicer vibe. The food is all scratch-made and was delicious. (Especially the cauliflower bites. Yum!) Our service was rough though. We ordered cocktails and waters right away. The cocktails took at least 10-15 minutes. The water didn’t come. We asked again, and then again. At one point, my friend finally got a water, but the guy (not our server) dropped it and ran without looking at the rest of us so I couldn’t tell him I had ordered water as well. (I hate this trend of not bringing out waters from the start.) I literally had to ask for mine four timesso weird My friend ordered a cider partially through the meal and we had to ask about it a second time. Even after we reminded the server it took a while. It took at least 25 minutes for that one drink and we were sitting just 8 feet from the bar. Friend still had a full glass when the meal was finished so she didn’t really get to enjoy it before we left. Cider was $12, oof! We ordered from the happy hour menu. The chicken sliders come with two pieces, and there were three of us. The server told us it was only two dollars to add on a third so we did that. When the bill came that third slider was six bucks (as much as a full chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A )! When I questioned the charge, she shrugged it off and said she was new she made no attempt to correct the charge. I felt swindled. We tried to divvy up the bill, but that was a mess too. The friend who got the most stuff paid the least. No one could figure it out. The server was sweet, but flustered. In all, we had four drinks and three appetizers for nearly 90 bucks, all happy hour pricing. I hate the 3% fee “so the restaurant can pay a fair wage” how about pay a fair wage out of your 16.95 happy hour sliders and $12 cider. :) Of course 20% tip is expected on top of that. The food really was good. Maybe just an off night. I would go back and sit outside. Price per person: $30–40 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

The service was great here, my salad was good however it was kind of busy. I think the marinated mushrooms weren’t needed and I would have loved if there was something crunchy like nuts or wonton noodles. The peach cobbler was ok, the cobbler to peach ratio wasn’t great. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
