The Greedy Hamster

Really enjoyed this little place while in Denver for a convention. The owner helped us out and took our order — recommending food along the way. In terms of cocktails — try the go and tonic. They make their own tonic — who does that? Fabulous!
Had the dates and pork crimple to start. Great choices. Greedy Greek and chicken pot also good.
Atmosphere great. Food also. I highly recommend this place.

Definitely a hidden gem, the scaffolding/​construction on the building did it no favors, but I think I saw that it’s finally been removed. The inside is super cozy and has a cool layout with the stairs up to a 2^nd «level.» The food was extremely delicious and the staff is nice. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to be in the downtown area but want to get off 16^th or want an alternative to Larimer Sq. I went with my boyfriend before we saw a show at the Paramount– it was almost completely empty (again, scaffolding, and it was like 6:30 on a weeknight) and my boyfriend was skeptical when we walked in, but was a convert by the time we walked out.

Hidden gem of downtown. Small, quaint, inviting ambiance. Hand crafted cocktails — The Spiced Pear Snowflake is my favorite. Great happy hour prices and tasty appetizers. The owner and staff are wonderful and committed to satisfying their customers.

The Greedy Hamster is a must stop if you are in Downtown Denver. The chips and dip are amazing! The mac n cheese was dee-​lish! The staff is attentive and very nice. Will be coming back!

We got here close to closing and they took us right in and the service was awesome. We had some great sides the bonbon poppers that were awesome. The chips with the different dips we would highly recommend. Very nice charming place.

If you’re staying at the Sheraton or just strolling down 16^th Street mall, do yourself a favor and take a little detour south a block or so.
Popped in for an early cocktail and tapas tasting and was very impressed. Had the opportunity to talk to the owner, Treven, for a while. Heard the back story on the GH’s unique name and tried to steal some of her recipes to no avail.
Very tasty mule selections and their infused gin was dangerously good. Black and blue figs and jalapeño poppers are must-​orders.
Pro tip: As soon as you sit down order a basket of their homemade chips. As soon as you get that order, order another. If timed perfectly you’ll have ordered two batches of their delicious, warm, homemade chips. You’re welcome. Feel free to repeat steps one and two as needed.

There are quite a few places we could have eaten at in the Denver metro area, but this place had 4.5 stars compared to the rest, around 3.5. They have a decent selection of local brews and the food is really good. Small portions so don’t expect a big meal but it’s perfect for sharing with your date and enjoying drinks. Order one item at a time, share, and order something else along with a beverage. Repeat until satiated. 4 stars only because they weren’t busy and they were watching us eat and waiting for a response. But still a great place and obviously the service is amazing.

Great combinations on the menu, well prepared and deliciously tasting. During happy hour you get the chance to taste more different delicious courses. Add great service — what more to ask for?

Well this place is adorable!
I miss the old, but in with the new! Friendly service, interesting personality and great location. We stopped in just for drinks and had a blast. The spot is a good time with a small bar, area a lounge, and a bunch of tables.
The bartender Renee was super cool and we had a good time. They have several local brewery options on tap as well as a full bar. We even got some complimentary lime tarts. I think I would like to return and try the food. Hopefully this place will stick around for a while as it is a hidden, yet central place with solid potential!

Amazing food and extremely friendly staff. So good I went two days in a row. A special highlight are the home made cocktails. One of the best gin and tonics I have ever had.

Love this cozy place! Great wine selection, plus house made Bloody Mary mix, tonic and a ginger shrub for mules. The Colorado mule is the bomb! The food is delicious. I’m already craving the Crock of Chicken. Perfect for a comfort food need on a chilly night.

I was tickled by the name and made a point to stop by. The interior is cute and looks like a neat local place to stop by. The food was sadly disappointing.
Best thing we ordered was the greedy fanatic. The flatbread had a good chewy consistency and the filling was flavorful.
The rest of the food seemed unimpressive for which the only reason I can come up with is the quality of ingredients. The prices weren’t bad, but I would rather pay more rather than be reminded of a cheap diner when I see a menu like this.
Appetizers:
Black and blue figs were unimpressive, which made me sad since this was one of the reasons we sought this place out.
There were no delicate flavors in the greedy chives, and while the pepper Bön bons had a kick, they reminded me of stuffed jalapeños I’ve had out of the freezer. We had an order of house made chips that were ok in comparison.
Main course:
The greedy mac tasted like it had baloney in it, and the ham in the greedy cheese tasted cheap despite the cool presentation in the skillet. The gf ordered the greedy Greek which disappeared so I didn’t get to try it (maybe that was another food item and I missed out)
There are a few good items on the menu but not enough to bring me back. I applaud the unique menu, but not the execution.

This place is great for drinks. The atmosphere is cozy. However, the portion sizes are small. I write that to inform others traveling here. The food is great. I suggest that you order two plates of whatever you want if you’re hungry. The food is great though. I had the pit de shroom. It was one of the best stuffed mushrooms I’ve had. My husband had the greedy greek and loved it. The service is great as well. We would go back there for a night cap. Would give it 3.5 stars

Fun, casual menu. Nice atmosphere in this small establishment. Very quiet on a late November Sunday night, but upbeat, informative staff. This new place deserves to find a following; they do a good job.

This place is awesome. The music is great! The owners are cool as hell, but they could laugh at my jokes more often. The food is amazing, try the parmesian crispers and black and blue figs. Come on in sometime and look for the handsomest guy at the bar… that’ll be me. I’ll buy you a round

Had a great meal last night with friends and family. I really like the décor and ambiance and throw back 90s reggae playing lightly in the background. Service was really good Although there weren’t many people. We had a few apps to start. The pepper Bön bons were pretty good. Pork crime was decent but not my fave and wouldn’t necessarily order again. Greedy Frenchie was really good! I ordered the crock of chicken. Very tasty and salty and a perfect mix of chicken, peas, and carrots with a crispy flaky biscuit on top. My friend ordered the greedy Greek and really enjoyed it. Other order was greedy cheese. A tasty hipster version of the cheesesteak and it was very good. Good portions!

DELICIOUS, we loved this place. Go check it out! Like all the reviews say– get the black and blue figs. They are sweet, spicy and smokey. I could eat several more. The Greedy Fanatic sandwich is a perfect portion and the flatbread the sandwich is on could be its own meal. I’m not a huge bread person and I will be thinking of this bread for a while. The pork wonton appetizer is also good. We don’t live in Denver but will come back the next time we are in town.

I was in town for business and met a couple friends here for dinner and drinks. I was immediately struck with the ambiance — cozy, friendly, and hip. While I was waiting for my friends to arrive I took a seat at the bar and was promptly offered a drink. I was undecided on which wine I wanted so was presented with a couple different options to try. When my friends arrived, we had appetizers seated on a couch in the little alcove like we were in someone’s living room, then moved to a more traditional table set up for dinner. We had the black and bleu figs to share (omg, so good) and I got the lamb burger for dinner. They were very accommodating with requests for gluten free modifications.
An easy walk from downtown hotels and plenty of street parking. This place would be great for dining alone, with a date, or hanging out with a group of friends. I can’t wait to head back next time I’m in town so I can sample more of the menu. I left wishing I had a Greedy Hamster in my neighborhood.

This place is a little gem! Awesome food and service. It was established in March of 2015 by a husband and wife. They focus on really great craft cocktails and incredible food. I had their happy hour lamb meatball which was served with homemade thaziki sauce, hummus, pita bread and olives. As well as their fig appetizer which stuffed with cheese and wrapped with prosciutto!

Great customer service, friendly staff, and good food. Open under construction so be sure to stop by!
