A word from Earls Downtown Denver

If you have lofty expectations for an Earls in the mile-high city, Earls Glenarm Denver Restaurant will not disappoint. Let us direct your attention to the atmosphere: warm, welcoming but with a bit of an edge. There's the fact we seem to be getting a bit of a rep for our parties, where we've… hosted up to 350 people at one time. For a slightly more intimate feel, try our private wine room with unique wine displays. Then there are the two large patios that look out onto the 16th Street pedestrian mall, one upstairs and one at ground level for two distinctly perfect views of summer. Let's not forget the contemporary, fresh Earls menu. The 24 big-screen plasma TVs. The smiles that greet your arrival. The feeling of knowing you made the right choice for a good night out with your family and friends. C'mon, tell us you're not just a little bit tempted? There's so much more the best thing to do is join us and discover it for yourself. We are located just off the corner of 16th St & Glenarm.Continued

Diner Reviews

"We had never been to Earls before but it is conveniently located across from the Paramount Theater and we had tickets to see ZZ Top. We were expecting to see less than the very classy and well decorated interior. The food was very good. I had a chicken, fig, brie, and spinach sandwich and it really was fantastic. My wife had a burger and couldn't finish the whole thing. We will be back."

"it was clearly not our night. Rowdy crowd, remodeling going on, steaks were all over cooked, albeit not terribly. Just not a night up to their typical standards. Service was superb."

"A modern sense of the 60's "man-club' restaurant. Food was wonderful from appetizer to dessert."
Dined on 3/1/2014
"Considering it was restaurant week the food was mediocre. Salad not good, entree of steak was cooked well. We took our dessert to go which was supposed to be chocolate brownie (or something similar) and when we go back to our hotel it was a honeycomb crisp covered in melted vanilla icecream, no chocolate at all. We were sat at a high table upstairs but asked to move to a booth to get away from the bar and TV screens.. Servers were friendly and helpful. Overally a disappointing night."

"Enjoyed dinner for seven for my wife's birthday. Booked online for six and then added one by calling in. Even had space during restaurant week which was a 'win' for us! Great food - dry rub ribs were amazing! Overall, we sat in a small room enclosed by glass wine bottles. Very cool. Overall, great time and super easy to book a reservation - highly recommend!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
"Staff was very friendly except for our server who was pretty cold. Food was not as good as it should have been but "fine", not "stellar". We were on the Restaurant Week limited menu which was a great value. We would return, just not a "Stellar" experience. Dry rub ribs appetizer was very good, as was Key Lime Pie for dessert. Main courses were fair..."

"Too noisey. If more that two of you, you can not carry on a conversation."

"First time making reservation through Open Table. Upon arrival our table was ready and waiting even though the entire place was packed. Our table was by itself next to the large window and it was very romantic especially for the occasion. Food was excellent and service was prompt. My date loved it so I am happy! Thanks Open Table!"

"Two days in a row I went to Earl's for business lunches and the staff was incredible. We stayed long, were animated and excited about our business and the staff continued to provide incredible service to us. We asked the for the music to be turned down and they complied immediately. I will be back at Earl's many many more times!!"

"Earl's was a wonderful way to end our Saturday in Denver. Our party of 5 was seated upstairs in a large booth. The upstairs space has a beautiful ambiance. Four of us got their signature burgers, which were humongous and delicious, if not a tad greasy. The ten-year-old got buttered noodles, which the server recommended as an off-the-menu kid's meal. They were delicious! They added a garnish of cheese to the top as well, and only charged us $3 for the dish. At the time of our Open Table reservation, we had told Earls that we were celebrating a birthday, which they acknowledged when they confirmed the reservation, but they did not recognize it at all during our visit. A little bit disappointing, but all in all, a very good experience."

"We had a decent dinner at Earl's. The food was better than a lot of places, but not quite as good as a nice steak house. We had steaks (Filet Mignon and Ribeye). Thought they were priced a little high for the quality of the steaks. Next time we'd probably stick with something other than steaks. There is a good variety of food. It is wonderfully located on 16th Street Mall. The atmosphere was energetic. Service was good."

"Took our adult daughter's to Earl's to celebrate Valentine's day. Our oldest lives in Los Angeles and she the the first to mention how the decor was so unique and the ambience to hip. The food was delicious with great portion size. Definitely going back!"

"Upscale restuarant with appropriate menu with good music and enough flat screens to be a high end sports bar/restaurant. Grab a steak but save room for the banana chocolate cake!!"
Dined on 2/11/2014
"We have been coming to Earl's for four years when we are in Denver for trade shows. It is consistently EXCELLENT! You can count on it being everything you expect it to be. The service is the best and each and every dish we have ever tried was perfect. I applaud the ownership and management for being able to maintain such high standards of customer service and food quality over the years. Earl's is a MUST when you travel to Denver."

"When we arrived we were greeted promptly and shown to our table. The ambiance was great and we were greeted by our waitress. There were 6 in our party and 5 of us had steaks, three of the five steaks were over cooked, mached potatoes were cold and we were nearly halfway through our dinner when our waitress finally returned to check on us. One of the steaks was taken of the bill but no mention of getting something else or warming up our food. Our bill was over $400 and we did tip 20% but was disappointed in the food and service."

"Had a great dinner on a Saturday night with friends. Sat upstairs and our service was wonderful. Had an appetizer, the dip sampler then ordered one of the giant smash burgers! I couldn't stop eating and was able (somehow) to finish it! Great fries too!"

"First trip. My wife and I looked for a place downtown on New Years Eve, and Earls was recommended. We were ushered to a back room upstairs which was very poorly lit. That in turn made the small type on the menu almost impossible to read. Luckily we read an on-line menu before we got there and had an idea what we wanted. Other than the hike to our table and the dim lighting, the food was great and the service was more than adequate. I would recommend this restaurant, just be prepared to climb stairs and bring a flashlight in order to read the menu!"

"Food was great, the service was even better. Great location on 16th street mall, we had a group of 7 and really enjoyed our evening."
Dined on 12/31/2013
"I have been to Earls three times before and had great food - especially their mushroom soup. This time, after I had recommended it to my party, we found that the soup was not up to what I had experienced in prior visits, and we were really disappointed. The soup had a film on it, and the broth was much too thick which inhibited the flavor. I'm not sure if it was 'old' or what was wrong with it, but won't recommend it in future. Also, the chicken-brie-fig sandwich, while interesting, was something I would not recommend. The service and staff were very cordial and our food was delivered fairly quickly."

"the food was great, good place for business lunch. Will come back again"

"Went for dinner early. Great service at the bar before dinner. Steaks done to perfection. Was disappointed that the halibut was fried and was not noted as such in the menu. Service was superb."
Dined on 12/11/2013
"Clearly Earls is a lunch or bar place - not for dinner. The lights were so dim that we had to use our cell phones to read the menu. The server said the lights didn't go up any higher (NOT). The couple who came in behind us had to do the same thing. The food was ok - ambiance sucked unless you are a vampire."
Dined on 12/7/2013
"We went to Earl's sight unseen because we were going to a matinee at the Paramount. We were pleasantly surprised with the friendly and prompt service. The food was excellent. Since we were there on a sunday at around noon the noise level was fine. The tables were far enough away from each other that I wouldn't worry about having to hear eveyone's conversation. All in all, a pleasant experience."
Dined on 11/24/2013
"I know this is a hot place for lunch. But, really it was too noisy to easily carry on a conversation. Service was top-notch. No delay whatsoever."
Dined on 11/25/2013
"Waiting staff were pleasant and helpful, right from the moment we stepped through the door. Great building, great background music and a really good vibe because it was busy. Food and atmosphere are definitely bar-like but very enjoyable all the same. Presentation of the food is excellent and we all enjoyed our meals - yam chips and the ribs were wow!"
Dined on 11/18/2013
"In my reservation I mentioned that it was my mother's 70th birthday and if there was anything special I would greatly appreciate it. When I arrived the hostess told me that there would be a bottle of champagne "on the house" to celebrate the occasion. I truly appreciate that and I know my mother enjoyed it tremdously. Thank you for a wonderful experience and dinner!"

"We had a great lunch. It was bustling but with a reservation we had a great booth in the back of the restaurant. Good food. Great friendly service!"
Dined on 11/7/2013
"We had about an hour before seeing a show at The Buell so made reservations at Earls. The food was amazing! Even the run-of-the-mill french fries were great. I had a beer called "Rhino" the waiter said New Belgium makes exclusively for Earls. Fantastic! It was dark and upstairs felt like a VIP area. We will be back!"
Dined on 11/3/2013
"The ambiance is good, and food is on par. Service is off, as I ordered two appetizers for dinner, and both plates were brought at the same time! A definite faux pas."

"great service, food was good but not anything special"

"The 16th Mall Earl's is not the same restaurant as the Cherry Creek Earl. I had the Bronx Burger which is served with three large onion rings on top - one I have had at Cherry Creek numerous times. The onion rings were greasy and over-cooked with the onions over cooked to the point where they were tasteless greasy, and parchment like. I asked the server to replace them and to bring mustard to the table for my burger. She did so after a 15 minute wait by then my burger was cold. The new onion rings were again over cooked. The onion rings at the Cherry Creek Earl's are perfection and the service is professional, polite, and prompt. I wouldn't recommend the 16th Street Earl's to anyone who wanted to enjoy their dining experience."

"I often entertain business travelers and have always kept Earls Downtown Denver at the top of my list. Wednesday night, 10-23-13 was another festive occasion for me, as I rallied some old college friends to get together, one of who'd been out of state for the past 30 years. GREAT time, and the setting was festive and excellent for us! As always, the food was "top drawer," and our group savored every bite, as well as indulged ourselves with some favorite cocktails and beer. Our server, Sarah, was superb! What a terrific personality and excellent on "call-backs" to our table! Can't wait for the upstairs balcony scene to open again next spring, following some renovations in process. Earls is the place to be, in Downtown Denver!"

"I first went to Earl's in 2008 on a business trip, and ended up going there each night of that trip. On my return trips to Denver, we have tried other restaurants, but we keep going back to Earl's. The menu always has enough different variety, and I have not ordered anything that is disappointing. That leads to my decision, if I am going to be visiting Denver, I will be going to Earl's."

"The steak was fantastic. The sourdough bread was great as well."
Dined on 10/19/2013
"In a sea of upscale dining establishments, it's sometimes difficult to find a place for lunch that offers a comforting, mid-day meal without all of the pretentiousness of a high-end restaurant. Earl's offered a number of options to please most any palate. Our table opted for the fish and chicken tacos. The fish taco contained a generous portion of white fish, topped with a terrific spicy sauce. I was a little concerned with the noise level as we enterred (as this was a business meeting), but, when directed upstairs, found our table to easily conducive to discussion."
Dined on 10/14/2013
"Halibut was a little over cooked and ribeye was too fatty Priced too high"
Dined on 10/5/2013
"...and I will do the same. In Denver on a conference and with out with two of my work mates from Texas. Went one night and was told that fresh lobsters were being flown in from Nova Scotia and will be served as a special the next evening...so we had to go back. Glad we did."
Dined on 10/4/2013
"Recently had a client meeting at Earl's in Denver, CO and we were all very pleased by the dinning experience. The service was excellent - never had to look around for our waiter. We all had a very nice variety of food and it was very well presented. Now, we did have our dinner on a Monday night so I'm not sure if that made a difference but the noise level was very pleasant."
Dined on 9/10/2013
"We had a party of 4 and were seated in a highly air conditioned table. Our waiter took it upon himself to bus a different table and relocate us. His service was way above the norm. After a disappointing steak in black hawk at the only restaurant open table has there I was needing a better experience and wow did earl's deliver!! We ordered everything from salmon to steak and every meal was outstanding. Well done!!"
Dined on 9/1/2013
"The food is always reliably good, but Earl's, which seems a good value at dinner is pricy for lunch. Last week two of us had a social lunch. The tab, with tip, came to $78. The only alcohol on the bill was one glass of white wine. That's a tad steep."
