Wynkoop is located downtown, not too far from Coors Field. It is always a fun place to hang out and drink some beers and play pool. The food isn't great; neither is the service, but it's always very lively. There are several pool tables upstairs and some other games. It is especially busy during Rockies home games.

About
Housed in the historic J.S. Brown Mercantile building, the Wynkoop Brewing Company led the way in the resurgence of Lower Downtown. The interior boasts a warm Colorado pub feel with its hardwood floors, thick timber pillars and pressed tin ceilings. Throw in plenty of great food and park it here. Enjoy our dessert from our sweets menu anytime!
The Wynkoop kitchen serves a variety of pub fare, including shepherd's pie, beer braised pot roast and a Portobello mushroom sandwich. Each day during the week, a different brew plate special is offered. The dinner menu features favorites such as Denver Cut Elk Medallions, and Fish and Chips. Our nightly specials are always hearty and creative. Stick around for desert. The world famous black and tan brownie is a three-layered cheese cake brownie served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The Wynkoop Brewing Company, Colorado's oldest brew pub, was founded in 1988. It is housed in the glorious J. S. Brown Mercantile Building. The Mercantile Company was the most impressive of its time with hardwood floors, thick timber pillars and pressed tin ceilings. Miners, ranchers and city folks would walk these very floors looking for goods to furnish their frontier homes. The main floor, now the bar and restaurant, served as the original showroom in 1899.
The second floor is the home of Wynkoop Billiards, considered by many to be the city's most elegant pool hall. There are 22 pool tables, two private pool rooms, several dart lanes and a bar serving all of the same refreshing beers you'll find downstairs. We hauled the backbar from across the creek where it was used in the original tasting room of the old Tivoli Brewery. You're more than welcome to take a look or shoot a game of pool at any time. Open 11-2am; Kitchen Open: until 11:00 Mon-Thurs, Midnight on Fri/Sat and 10pm, Sundays.
