Best Restaurants on the 16th Street Mall in Denver: Rock Bottom Brewery Review

Handcrafted Brews and Innovative Menu Make Denver Rock Bottom Brewery a 16th Street Mall Hot Spot

The Rock Bottom Brewery is a chain currently including 40 restaurants. Offering the relaxed yet always happening atmosphere of a brewpub in larger scale, the brass kettles and the glass and metal enclosures add a unique ambiance that attracts those in search of good quality American fare as well as those looking for a good time with friends-some of whom they may not yet have even met!

Colorado's premier Rock Bottom Brewery is located at 1001 16^th Street, Denver, Colorado 80265. Another one of the popular Denver restaurants on the 16^th Street Mall, the Rock Bottom Brewery is a trendy lunch spot for office workers and of course a favorite for those seeking out the various clubs, restaurants, bars, and overall entertainment that Denver has to offer at night.

The Denver Rock Bottom Brewery is open daily from 11:00 AM until 2:00 AM and even though reservations for parties of four or less are not required if you avoid peak lunch or after work crowds, larger groups will be wise to call 303-534-7616 and reserve a bigger booth or table.

Unlike so many other 16^th Street Mall restaurants, the Rock Bottom Brewery has a dedicated parking structure in the form of the Independence Plaza garage which is actually located underneath the brewpub. Do not leave without getting your parking ticket validated or you are going to be charged full price! The downside to this parking solution is the fact that it is not available until 4:00 PM Monday through Friday (it is available all day on Saturday and Sunday), making it hard for those visiting just for lunch to find a parking spot without paying.

Diners enjoy a leisurely game of billiards, while lunch goers always prize a seat on the patio since people watching is just something you do on the 16^th Street Mall. The food to be enjoyed at this Denver restaurant is not at all what you expect from brewpubs or other Denver restaurants advertising American food as their staple fare. There is Jambalaya with Red Ale Rice which is a crowd pleaser (especially since television Chef Emeril elevated andouille sausage as a famous culinary element in the minds of many Americans).
