Highland Tavern - Experience Next Level Pub Food & Chill Neighborhood Vibe

4.5 stars. Thrilled I got the best parking right across the street. I was meeting a few friends for dinner and drinks - the host seated us in a booth after asking if we wanted a good view of the college football game. So thoughtful, like he's been working there for awhile. Loved the customer service and would want to sit at the bar next time. For dinner, I ordered bufallo wings and tots. Both were fantastic and would get them again. I should have gotten the wings extra crispy. Lots of other options on the menu, including burgers. Great spot overall!

Next level pub food, decent draft beer selection, excellent space with a chill neighborhood vibe, and super friendly and efficient service. Its a hike outside of downtown to get here but we give the burgers, tots and churros.

We really enjoyed Highland Tavern. That's a strong 4 star rating with no complaints. The service was solid and atmosphere was what you expect a local bar to be. We went because we saw it on Triple D and had to try the tots! They are excellent and it's quite a lot or Tots. The beers were good and my wife enjoy the Pastrami which ended up as 2 meals. Worthy stotp!!

Great meeting place with old friends. Well established and worthy of a repeated visit. Great menu options. and drink options

Decided to stop by here for lunch and try some of the special dishes Guy Fieri raved about when he visited for Diners, Drive-in's and Dives. The scratch-made pork rinds came out crackling and had a citrus blend of lime chili salt. We went off Guy's suggestions and went with the K-town Rib Tips. Be prepared for your mouth to be on fire. The BBQ sauce is delicious but the pickled veggies pack all the heat. Finished off with a small serving of Tavern Tots since that is what Highland Tavern is known for and they did not disappoint. Crispy, light breading surrounding tasty shredded potatoes. Food prices are a steal! ($23 for our 3 items). Service is friendly and I appreciate the eclectic decor.

We picked this restaurant because my husband saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. We were not disappointed.

I always say that Denver does not have enough sports bars or bars with TVs to watch a game. Highland tavern has plenty of TVs and pretty good bar food to boot. The staff is very accommodating to larger groups and even allowed us to split up checks. I tried the El Guapo burger with a veggie patty. The pickled red onions and green chile on top made for a tasty burger. The veggie patty was decent-- a bit thin and dry. The famous tater tots did not disappoint. They were crispy on the outside with an almost creamy, soft inside. Check out Highland Tavern for sports, tots, and a great view of the Denver skyline.

Came here for the wings. Stayed for the company. This is a great slightly divey neighborhood bar which locals seem to frequent. They have a good amount of tvs to watch sports. The beer selection was great with almost all Colorado breweries featured. We ordered the effing hot confit chicken wings which were crispy just how I like them. The sauce was like similar to a jerk sauce with slightly sweetness and good spice level probably from habanero. The homemade ranch and blue cheese were equally delicious. Just beware the kitchen closes at 9 pm. Renfro the bartender was very friendly and provided good service. We are new to the city and he gave us great recommendations. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the food options!

Great spot for when you're in the mood for good bar food. The staff was nice and all the food comes fast and fresh. The fresh pork rinds were amazing. The tavern dip was a cool combination of a French dip and a pastrami sandwich! We're not from Denver so we also appreciated the local beers to try.

Yes, I needed dinner and let Guy Fieri choose for me. I specifically picked Highland Tavern because it had appeared on DDD. I sat at the bar - there was a long wait for a table - and ordered the proper Bombshell Sammich with tots. It did not take long and it arrived. It. Was. Perfect. Housemade pastrami, Swiss cheese, brown mustard, tavern slaw and a fried egg on rye. More than a handful, a little messy and absolutely delicious. Oh, and the tots. Made in house, a little bigger than the usual and absolutely perfect. Bite-sized bits of cholesterol-laden potatoes. Parking in this residential neighborhood could be a challenge but I found a legal spot down the street and around the corner. It was worth the hassle.
