Clock Tower Grill

Please… we were told to keep it when there’s someone on the mike? Lame. It’s a bar!

Food is ok for bar food drinks are on point! We had the Jordan as a server and she was on top of it being a bartender I I expect good service and tip very well for it and I can say hands down she was great definitely recommend this place and definitely recommend her as a server and kudos to the bartender don’t know who he was but he poured a healthy beverage

Great food always here, but the good stops here. Used to stop here frequently, but the last two times were terrible. First time waitress/​server whom I’ve never seen before actually said I was creepy. Last time for good, place was loud, too smoke filled, and service was terrible. Hire some quality people, and enough for Christ sake…

God awful. Food came out cold, freezer burn fries, service was terrible… I can go on and on. Asked for water twice, never got it. Simple things to fix but when you hire 21 year olds who have no work ethic, you get what u deserve. Small tip left (I usually do around 30%, gave $ 2 this time), never coming back. I wanted to spit out what I ate… seriously, don’t even bother.

This bar used to be my go-​to on Friday and Saturday nights with friends. I’d bring coworkers and out-​of-​town company and we’d always have a blast but this place has changed quite a bit in the last couple years in a few ways. To start with the good, I’m so happy they got a new Karaōke DJ because the previous DJ was a total asshole and this new guy plays way better music in between performances. I wish there was more of that ‘good’ to write about but there’s not, so let’s move on to the bad. First of all, the place is grimy. In the ladies room and on the walls along the booths in the big dining area are dried drippings of who knows what. Might be water from someone violently air drying their hands, possibly beer that got thrown by a drunk cougar, we just hoped to God it wasn’t yack because by the smells of the place, that could be the case.
Look, I can deal with smelly/​sticky bars, some of my favorite bars are both of those things. The difference between Clock Tower and those bars is the service. First we had the waitress come try taking our order twice and we weren’t ready either time (arguing over what kind of shots to order for the table since apparently they no longer offer shot specials) and rather than being patient or offering suggestions, she rolled her eyes and walked away. We then had her ask the bartender if they could make one of their signature libations from the menu as a shot instead, and they said no. Why would a bar say no to selling four custom shots when ordered? Instead, my table ordered a round of beers and one of the signature libations to share and upon delivery, she has brought us four of the drink we planned to share. When I tell her we didn’t want four, she simply said okay and left them on the table. She proceeded to charge us for all four drinks.
Lastly, the place could use a little action, bring back the beer pong tables!!!

Definitely has a neighborhood bar feel, in a good way. I wouldn’t say it’s a dive bar like I’ve read with some reviews (unless I don’t understand the definition of dive bar), but I thought it was a nice, obviously newer bar. Went for a work social networking event, so drinks and apps were free. I got the salted caramel martini, which was not great unfortunately, and their house Amber beer that I did enjoy. Apps were pretty standard; nothing stood out with them. To be fair, the apps were all pre-​made for the event.

If you are an arrogant dbag don’t come here and kill the vibes!
This place is super laid back, and everyone is really nice. Plus how can you beat all day happy hour?!

It’s your average bar and grill. Bartenders favor the frequent fliers and make minimal conversation outside their circle. Probably won’t return unless I’m starving and there’s no food anywhere else.

Their drink specials are great and I love going for bingo. But I had the cheese fries last night and I have to say I wasn’t impressed. First of all, I paid 10 dollars after adding bacon and jalapeños. Yep 10 dollars for fries with cheese. Secondly, I’ve been sick to my stomach all day today. Don’t want to point fingers but seeing as that’s the last thing I ate before waking up nauseous, it’s pretty suspect.

If the server and bartender would stop flirting with each other and do their job, maybe the service would be better. This was their second chance. Not going back.

I have been here a couple of times. Although I didn’t expect much, I was pleasantly surprised by the food, very tasty ! Strong drinks and a good place to meet locals.

Definitely one of my favorite hang out spots. The service is amazing, Marie & Doug are the best, they always remember what drinks I enjoy! I love going for «Geeks Who Drink» trivia on Wednesdays at 8pm, the hostess is hilarious and we always have a good time. Even with recent snow the turn out still makes for a great evening!
The food is always fresh and tasty, typical bar-​food style. It can get pretty packed during major sporting events, but the service still never fails. Though I do not participate in karaōke myself, I rather enjoy going on Fridays and Saturdays to listen to everyone else perform! There is some great talent, and of course the usual karaōke songs that get the whole bar singing. A great place to start your night, or to end if it you’re taking the lightrail!

I cannot really get a feel for this place. Maybe because it has a very strong neighborhood bar feel, and I don’t live in the neighborhood. The space is large, and although I wouldn’t call it a dive bar it has some divey characteristics — which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The drinks, for example, were pretty good and cheap, especially during happy hours. I find the service is quicker if you’re in the bar, and it’s definitely warmer up there. The lower dining area can get cold in the winter. The food is pretty much what you would expect from this type of bar: burgers, wings, lots of fried appetizers. I’ve had burgers here, as well as chips, salsa, queso and a few other apps. Everything is pretty good, though nothing really stood out as outstanding.
Overall, it’s a fun space to meet friends for watching sports, or for an evening of bingo or trivia, or for just a few drinks.

Their service is always consistently outstanding. They greet you immediately and make drinks/​pour beer very fast. I’m not a big fan of the food, but if you like good «bar food» then it’s actually ok. The standard fried pickles, mushrooms, sweet potato fries… etc. if in the mood for that sort of thing. They have a good HH menu for munchies. I typically just come here for a nice drink and good solid speedy service. Cheers!

Nice place, parking is a pain if you get there late. Karaōke nights are usually pretty good. Being right next to the metro makes this place a great start or end to the evening.

I have been here on many occasions, loved it every time. The food is always good. Lots of choices. The wait staff is wonderful especially Alan. Always friendly and attentive. They have a weekday special that you can’t beat (includes your drink).

If «Heart Attack Grill» had a little sister, Clock Tower Grill would be it.
Before I dive into the details, here is a quick point review. LOCATION 4 — great if you are around Park Meadows or live south, convenient off I-​25 and Lincoln and next to light rail station. AMBIANCE 4 — typical dive bar with wood chairs and some booths (no cushions tho); I loved their assortment of board and card games to play, as well as arcade games; restrooms and common areas clean; lots of TVs but weird that half of them were set to infomercial channels. SERVICE 4 — friendly and available. FOOD 2 — read details below. PRICE/​VALUE 2 — way too overpriced for such low quality food.
Food was tasty at first, but a day later we are still feeling it, and not in a good way. Plus is seemed like our heart rate/​blood pressure went up immediately after consuming this food (yes, literally). I thought I was ordering the healthy option of a club sandwich over a greasy burger, but it still wasn’t too smart of a choice. My husband had the cubano and felt the same way. All of the food was soooo greasy, even the toasted sandwhiches. The onion rings and fries must have been fried in old oil as they had an unattractive dark brown color.
On a positive note, the pretzel bites were good and light and I quote enjoyed the honey mustard which was supprosing because I usually detest anything mustard. The onion rings seemed to battered in the beer batter like the fish and chips, good flavor and would have been excellent despite the bad oil.
Two sandwiches, an appetizer and two soft drinks for a $ 35 price tag. I should have gone to Jimmy John’s for 12 bucks. I won’t be back and I suggest you save your money or just go for drinks only for one of their trivia or karaōke nights.

Spectacular place for happy hour!
All of you favorite bar food along with friendly staff. Always lively and it seems like every night they have a different event. Whether you want to have a drink and snacks before catching the light rail downtown or need a break at the end of your work day, give the Clock Tower Grill a try.

Good sports bar feel. The service is above average for the area and cost is below average for the area. The food isn’t the best, but it is better than a lot of bars around. This place is great for those that want a small bar feel without feeling crowded. Try the burgers, tacos and wings and you won’t be let down.

I’m SO torn on how to write a review for this place.
Here’s the deal…
They DO have some good burgers. The rest of their menu (that I’ve tasted) has been typical bar food, but I really, really enjoy their burgers. Of the other burger places around me (Graze, Swingers, Five Guys), I’ll go here. Also, sweet potato fries.
They DON’T have great service. The host or hostess is always MIA. They’re never in a rush to seat you or wait on you. The only exceptions are the the chef and expediter, who send food out pretty quickly. The bartenders have that permanent frownface that don’t beckon for conversation or a good time.
Here’s my favorite part. Karaōke night. By «favorite», I mean it is the most depressing thing in the entire world and it makes me feel weird inside to be there when it’s going on.
Can we, as a group, decide to ban LONG, SAD karaōke songs? Don’t do it. That seems to be all the people here want to sing.
Meatloaf’s «I’d do Anything for Love» is LITERALLY twelve minutes long. Don’t sing it.
It’s also not a crowd pleaser.
Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody? It’s more of a crowd pleaser, but it’s six minutes long.
Random, one-​off country songs? STAHP!
There’s also that one woman who looks like a gypsy and sings a gazillion Adele songs as if she’s just waiting to be discovered. In a small bar in Lone Tree. On a Saturday night.
It is kind of cute that families will come here. There was a 12 year old boy who awkwardly sang Aladdin and that was my favorite. But it was 11:00 at night. That was odd.
Anyway, I highly suggest people come experience the strangeness that is Clock Tower Grill Karaōke Night and soothe your weird feelings with a pretty decent burger.
