Lowry Beer Garden

I dont go in much because I dont drink but they have a HUGE beer selection. Anyway, they are always friendly and many times I get a free soda or ice cream cone! Awesome! Very family oriented. I usually go with my parents. My mom belongs back in a small town in Minnesota in the 50’s and was an elementary school teacher and she absolutely loves this place! Must go to place for a fun time with the family

I really enjoy this beer garden. Lots of beer choices, good food options (very casual), plently of seating. Just a nice causal setting to sit in the sun and drink a beer. Love ending my bike rides here!

Solid location. Really consistent meal for both lunch and dinner. Burgers are quality. Fries and rings, tasty. Impressively, the salads are great too. Very good beer selection and a really fun location.
I like coming here for both lunch meetings and dinner dates. Lowry is really lucky to have such a fun location.
Open in the winter with heat lamps and it’s really not bad. Plus the historic location is fun!

Meh… Decent beer selection, barny feel, horribly uncomfortable seating. Guess they want you to have 1 beer & leave, which I did.

This is my new favorite place for happy hour! $ 3 draft beers, wines, and wells! Plus, it’s near my house. The space is huge with a lot of tables. I bet in the summer it gets seriously packed. It wasn’t really busy yesterday evening so counter service was really quick.
They have a lot of food offerings for a reasonable price. I tried the JC Boar Brat and an order of onion rings. The onion rings were just your bar standard rings. Nothing special and kind of bland. The boar brat was yummy. The roll they put it in is way too much bread, but other than that the flavor was great and the toppings delicious. Can’t wait to try their other menu options!

Love this place! Great stop for HH, quick meal, meet up with friends, fun date night and post work cocktails/​beer esp after an event at the Wings Over the Rockies. In love with their jalepeno cheddar bison brat with the sweet potato fries/​onion rings. I’ve tried lots on the menu but def come here for a good brat and beer. Plus the LOVE the assortment of beers!

Needed a place to grab some lunch by myself while I was visiting on business. It was a little tricky to find because Google Maps misplaced it (it’s right next to the B52 airplane).
Fairly empty at 1:30pm on Friday. Really nice place with a good selection of brats, burgers, salads and of course, beer. I had a brat with Trinidad toppings and really enjoyed it paired with an IPA. Ambiance is friendly and clean. There’s a fire pit inside which is neat. Three large TVs for sports if that your thing. Prices seem reasonable. Would definitely come back.

Fairly good beer selection for a Colorado bar and the food is pretty good. Very family friendly complete with a play area for kids.
I’m a little blown away by the people whining about the kids. This place is located in Lowry; aka family central. They have a kids play area! Kids are great, get over yourselves!

Meh, not a huge fan of this place which comes as a huge disappointment since I’ve been wanting to come here for awhile. My friend and I stopped here on a Saturday afternoon after a morning of shopping and the place was PACKED… with kids.
Cue in the whole «You have a baby… in a bar» line from Sweet Home Alabama.
What?!
I’m all for kids being able to go wherever but it was an insane amount and they were pretty much unsupervised since the parents were enjoying a cold one. That aside, the food line was 15 people deep and beers are a tad overpriced. If I want an Apricot from Dry Dock, I’m rather pay their prices and get free popcorn that go someone too crowded and overpriced. Props to them for thinking of a genius idea and planting it right in the middle of Lowry and next to the Wings over the Rockies Museum, it has to be a cash cow! I think if I ever come back it’s going to be on a weeknight, surely that many kids can’t be there on a school night right?

You know, I was kind of skeptical about Lowry Beer Garden, but I had a few good experiences here. The first occasion, I attended for a work happy hour, with apps included. The appetizers were typical bar food items — popcorn chicken, fried pickles, sweet potato fries, etc. but they satisfied my greasy food craving. Both times I went they had a good beer selection, including some rare beers, like a sour I had.
The place was packed both times I was there, which made seating and waiting in line not so fun, and I just don’t love the location (particularly if I’m expected to drive myself anywhere after I have a drink) but it is a decent spot to grab a drink with friends.

Our first visit to Lowry Beer Garden was a great experience. Loved the ambiance, food — especially the onion rings and our drinks.
When we had visitors from out of state — we said we had to take them to Lowry’s. Big Mistake!
We arrived earlier in the evening than the last time — about 430pm. And it was like Daddy day care on steroids. I don’t mind kids — I have a few myself — and I don’t mind families enjoying a night out — but when you have parents that let their kids run amuck, throw dirt and scream at the top of their lungs — I’m out!
We had difficulty finding a table because one group had spread their kids’ stuff out over 3 tables — when they could have used 1. The kids were running rampant and literally throwing dirt on other customers.
The food was lack luster this go around — not sure if it was the ambiance of screaming children — or the cook was off that night.
I realize that the parents are to blame — but Lowry’s staff could do a better job of ensuring tables are cleared and ask parents to control their kids and condense their space. It’s an outdoor BEER Garden — not a play ground!
If we go back — it will be later in the evening and hopefully it will be past the kids’ bedtime!

Every once in a while, you find a place you secretly wish you could rate 1 star because you know higher ratings only bring more people and you want it all to yourself! That would be Lowry Beer Garden
This place is truly a gem to the Lowry area. Great food, great beer selection, fun, lively, outdoors, family-​friendly, and great décor. There is even a ping pong table and occasional live bands that light up this place.
Many people rave about the fried pickles, which to me were ok but I found them a little too salty. Everything else, however, was great and even if it werent, there are times when a restaurant’s atmosphere is enough to make it memorable. Like this one.
Enjoy this neighborhood favorite located near the air force museum with plenty of parking for all!

This was my third time trying the beer garden.
I think the setting is a very fun concept and that is what brought me back! We tried the food this time, burgers, pretzel, onion rings and the hot dog with jalapeño cream cheese and onions– yum! Didn’t realize we ordered the most expensive beer on the menu ! $ 8 each. The biggest annoyance was the +$ 2 rocks charge. Too bad. We would have loved a second round but couldn’t justify it.

I only came for drinks, so I can’t comment on the food. They have a fabulous tap list with a broad range of options. I wish there were a few more sours on tap, but that’s not really problematic. The way it’s set up is there are three alcoves at the back of the beer garden for food orders, food pick-​up, and drinks. The bartender was super fast, so there really wasn’t much of a line. The servers circled the garden frequently and kept the place super clean.
In terms of the garden itself, they had lots of great outdoor seating. The lighting was subtle yet sufficient. There was a great relaxing vibe with just the right amount of bustle for vibrancy. I was fortunate that they had live music that night. The Tito Malaga band was amazing! The beer garden just started having live music on every second Saturday for the summer, so keep an eye out for some awesome bands. I’m definitely planning on coming back with my friends some time soon!

The first time I went, last year, I wasn’t the biggest fan. I thought the food was lackluster (stay away from the quinoa salad) and I thought the vibe was off somehow.
Now? I’m a big fan! I suggest NOT staying away from the seared ahi tuna salad! It was so flavorful and the tuna was actually excellent!
In the evening, you can buy s’mores fixings for 5 bucks and burn up your marshmallows in the fire pits out front!
Excellent place for lunch if you work around Lowry and great place to hang out into the evening to play some games and make some s’mores!

From the tables and gravel under them, to the kid friendly atmosphere — this is the first beer garden I have seen in Denver that reminds me of the ones in Munich.
The food is awesome — the elk sausage is my favorite. The pretzels are a must try as well, and are the tastiest I have ever had. There is just a hint of sweetness that makes them perfect.
The beer selection is solid — I have spent many hours just drinking there and enjoying the fellowship.
It does get crowded on Friday’s, even though it is a bit out of the way and surrounded by parking lots instead of parks.

Great spot for food and beer. The best place around by a long shot; their beer selection is great! I ordered a turkey burger and fries w/​ranch and both were good. Service was fantastic and everyone working there had great attitudes.
The beer selection is significant and well priced. I got a few Odell IPA’s and watched the game. The beer garden is huge with a nice relaxing atmosphere about it.
This is an excellent place to hang out with two or three friends and enjoy some beautiful Colorado weather. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out.

I have heard alot of good things about Lowry Beer Garden. Being in grad school, it’s inevitable we need these drunken nights to get a break from it all and my friend and I came here after finishing our exams. I loved how this looked from the outside! There is a cute little gate with lights and heaters if you choose to sit outside. It really did look like a garden. The inside area looked like a green house where the walls are made of a giant tent. Most of the seating inside were long tables and benches kind of looked like a cafeteria. There are also heaters inside for those who get cold easily. I was pleasantly surprised that this place was packed for a Wednesday night! There were a lot of families with babies everywhere so it must be family friendly.
They had a ton of drink choices and your typical bar food. I tried an apricot ale which was pretty good and a peach ale from lone tree that was in a can but was a bit bitter. My friends and I got a small fries $ 3 which was pretty typical. I liked their presentation of the food since it came in a paper box. Made it seem fancier than it really was. All the servers were very laid back. The entire enviornment was laid back and there was music playing at a good volume. I really enjoyed the ambience. I also loved the fact they gave us bingo sheets with music! =) I had a lot of fun and would come back for sure. And ps, they give you blankets if you sit outside, how cute is that?!

Lowry Beer Garden has the potential to be a freakin gem! I went there for lunch and had (I forgot the name) but it egg, chili, and cheese and my choice of meat was ground chuck, cooked medium along with a side of fries.
Starting off, it was a beautiful day and I regret not sitting on the patio… they have a killer patio with plenty of seating. Upon ordering the gentleman that helped my buddy and I was extremely courteous and patient while we ordered, cause I have never been there.
As far as the food goes, I unfortunately have to say I wasn’t satisfied, at all. Wait, let me rewind… the fries were pretty damn good. As far as the burger goes… it really didn’t have much taste to it. It didn’t seem like it was freshly patted out and put on a flat top, it tasted like an unseasoned burger that you get in bulk from Sam’s Club. Didn’t seem like they did anything to season the burger, it was like I had a meat patty with a lot of ingredients to cover up the taste (or lack thereof) of the ground chuck. I guess I am disappointed because the burgers are a highlight of the Beer Garden, it’s not like I am going to a Chinese restaurant asking for a burger. My expectations were much higher, maybe that is my fault.
One good thing I can say is I will give The Beer Garden another shot at proving themselves, maybe I just caught them on a bad day. Next time I am in the area, I will be sure to give it another college try.
I would have given 2 stars, but the service was solid.

Absolutely adorable place within walking distance from my friend’s apartment. I am not sure how she isn’t there everyday!
We went for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded at all, which was nice. There is a very large patio with communal seating, as well as indoor space. There is no table service (at least that I saw), so you walk up to the counter and place your order, and they give you a buzzer for when it’s ready.
They were offering a lunch special — for $ 9.95 you could order any of their sausages, add whatever toppings you’d like, fries and also a soda. You could upgrade the drink to a beer (from a small list — disappointing) for $ 3 more.
I ordered the bacon cheddar brat with the «J.C.» for toppings (jalapeño cream cheese and carmelized onions). The fries on the side were really good, and we also shared the fried pickles, which were delicious! Our food didn’t take long to be ready, which was great, since I was getting real hangry. My main criticism would be that the bun to sausage ratio was way off… it was very hard to eat because the bun was so huge. If they could fix that, it would be much better!
The cashier was generally friendly, but seemed kind of annoyed. Perhaps she was having a bad day. It was strange that the food and beer were 2 different steps, and also that they are not dog friendly. This seems like the perfect place to hang out with your dog, but they don’t allow that.
Overall, it was a great place. The view of the Air and Space Museum was awesome, and they have plenty of seating. Also a ping pong table and fire pits!
