Tailgate Tavern & Grill

Extremely slow service and rude staff that kept telling us to «drink up» so they could go home early. Went to close out my tab and the bartender was convinced that I did already. After having to tell her 3 times that I never did she showed me the check that had been closed out and there was a fake signature with an obnoxiously high tip that I would have never left. Clear fraud from the staff trying to convince me I had already closed out so she could get a nice fat tip. Not only was she extremely rude when I said I never closed out she proceeded to throw out the fake check before I could inspect it further or snap a picture with my phone. Clearly trying to destroy the evidence. Also positive my debit cards were skimmed here had fraudulent charges on 3 of my cards the next day. Avoid this place at all costs!!! Wish I could rate this place a zero.
****UPDATE****: I want to thank John the owner for personally reaching out to me to make things right. You can tell he definitely cares about his customers and the level of service his bar provides. He was very willing to listen and make corrections based on my experience. I believe in supporting local businesses and second chances and since John was willing to reach out so quickly I will be giving the Tailgate another shot. Thanks John!

Sat out on the patio on Memorial Day afternoon and listened to live music. The service was great (wish we got our server’s name — she was really attentive and fast), the food was pretty good bar food, and the drink prices were great. Great place to hang out that is becoming our go to spot.

By far the best bar in Parker, great food, great staff. They bring in great live music and there is never a cover charge. They have tons of tv’s and it’s a perfect place to watch sports. I recommend the ribs or any of the burgers, they even have $ 5 burgers on Mondays.

Such a wide variety of people it’s great for people watching! The drinks and food are always good and not overly priced. Service is friendly. Beware for the Cougars at night!

Fun place
Nice to go and sit on the patio and listen to music. Cute outdoor area. Food is good bar food.
If the service was as good as the other parts it could only get better.
If u want to relax and aren’t in a hurry this is a decent place to go in Parker and hang out.

Came this past Tuesday at 945 pm… sat for 10 mins with no acknowledgement what so ever… left…with no one even trying to stop us, bartenders watching. Won’t be back.

Food is good, prices are great. Bands can be hit-​or-​miss. There’s always something going on and I’ve never been when it hasn’t been very busy or packed. But, I never have waited long for service, so if you can get a seat you’ll be taken care of.

Great local pub! Excellent food and service. Live music and great specials throughout the week Owners always present to welcome you. I would recommend this to anyone in the area!

This is my «Cheers»! I love this place! The food is really good, fresh and original. A great way to start my weekend mornings. A chill atmosphere to watch any game. I have always had great service even when the staff is slammed. The staff knew our names after the second time there. This is a family place so kids are welcome. 2 for 1 bloody Mary’s and Mimosas. I recommend this hidden gem to everyone.

My husband and I stopped in on a Wednesday for an early lunch, after having driven by multiple times and living nearby. We weren’t greeted when we walked in, so we just assumed you sat yourself. It was still another 5 minutes before we had any service. The server rushed us to get our orders, but at the same time was laughing and playing around with people at the bar who were obvious regulars.
The water we were served tasted disgusting, like it hadn’t been filtered. At least the coffee I was served was excellent, and I’m picky about coffee. The food wasn’t bad, wings and nachos, but now (since about an hour after eating until now, 10 hours later) my husband and I have both been sick to our stomachs all day. Not incredibly pleasant.
After we finished eating, we sat around for over 15 minutes while the server chatted with people at the bar, though we were waiting on our check and had asked.
Even though it’s convenient, it’s not a place we’ll be returning too.

You guys were a bunch of assholes at 1am I will never return to your establishment, bouncer was absolutely rude!

Great happy hour and food specials every night of the week. Cheese curd app was fantastic although a little skimpy for the $ 7 price point. Was there for the $ 5 burger on Mondays so they have to make the $$ up somewhere.
Surly and rude manager in there who was giving me grief about turning on playoff baseball two hours before the football game started. Apparently that tv can only show either the game or nfl network highlights. The whole side of the bar wanted the baseball game, c’mon big man lighten up.

We went here for Sunday football and service was great, she kept coming back making sure we were ok. Ordered chicken strips and fries and they were excellent. Asked them to change the tv to our team and were accommodating, although the remote master seemed annoyed. Overall it was nice and too crazy crowded.

Even though there was an issue with it taking a while to get my drink, I’d definitely come back to his place, especially on Wednesday for the 50 cent wings. They had a lot of different drinks on the menu, and I’m going to have to go back at some point and try out more.
The wings were pretty good, and they had a lot of options for sauces which you could get on the side or on wings themselves. The honey bbq and the asian sauces were a great choice. The wings were a good size as well so we felt like we got quite a bit for our money.

Looking for a college like bar that is fun for all ages? This is the place. Atmosphere is great, live music is better. Great place for a night out. Prices are reasonable, staff is great, and they have something every night.

Just not been happy the last several times here. I understand it is mainly a bar so you shouldn’t expect 5 star food. Actually the food isn’t bad, it’s actually pretty good. The services lately has been terrible. Not sure if it’s inexperience on the servers part or they are just understaffed. Today I went in and waited 20 min to order coffee for myself and juice for my daughter. Waited another 15 min before the server came back to take our order. By that time we were done and wanted to leave. I asked for a check to pay for the drinks; at this point they should have given it to is for free, it was coffee and OJ; neither was drank. Oh well I paid $ 5.00 and left. I actually like this place but like I said the last four times were just terrible on the service end. Not sure if I will go back. If I do it will either be much better or it will be my last time…

Food is pricey and sub par. The patio is an amazing place to enjoy a summer night with drinks! Service on the patio is also sub par though, thus the 2 star score.

We had lunch this past Saturday at this place and I thought the staff was okay, but seemed not the most friendly. They were not that busy, so I am not sure what had the mood a bit dour. However, the food was good in which you can get either a healthy dish or more traditional bar food. They have a good choice of beers and I saw guys playing poker with poker chips in the bar. Although, I am not sure if they were gambling for charity or for their own personal gain. It was interesting to see it in Parker, CO. and as far as I am concern people should be able to gamble in a bar if the owner wants it, but I am a more of a social libertarian on issues like that. Anyway, this is a good place to stop by for lunch or dinner in the bar or on the patio and they have live bands at this place, so go there for that too.

Perfectly good bar food, great patio!!! I’ve been twice now, once on a cold Thursday night and once on a sunny Sunday. The Thur night we went, there was a really loud band playing. Not unexpected, but it would have been nice to have a conversation. Instead we just ate and got out of there. My steak fajitas were blah, and they server didn’t bring the rice & beans that were supposed to come with it (I didn’t want them bad enough to speak over the band tho). My bf’s burger, ordered medium, was raw. He just ate around the edges, but she didn’t question it when she took it away. The fries were delicious tho.
Our sunny Sunday was much better. Three of us shared a sampler with rocky mountain oysters (good!), cheese curds (really good but missing the marinara sauce served with the full app of curds), wings (honey hurt me sauce was great sweet and spicy), and sweet potato fries (salty and hot) and a plate of steak nachos. The steak was practically non-​existent, but the toppings were great. Excellent jalapenos! Michelle was a great server, very attentive and flirty with our single friend ;-) The patio is awesome and very dog friendly; will be really hot during the heat of the summer and they could def use some shady spots.

Love Sunday brunch on the patio, top three reasons:
1) I can take my boxer dog duo
2) Two-​for-​one bloody marys
3) Decent bar food with good service.
We’ve been going to the Tailgate for almost 15 years and will continue to be fans for many more years to come!
