    AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Booked a table of 8 to celebrate my engagement with my family. We got a curved booth on the upper level which was cozy and perfect to be able to see/ talk with the whole group. Our server Matthew did a phenomenal job!!!! We decided let him curate our family style experience and every dish that came out was 100/10. Nothing disappointed. They also brought out a champagne tree with bubbles as a celebratory toast. Highly highly recommend!!

    Wow, thank you for such an incredible review! We're honored you chose to celebrate your engagement with us and are so happy to hear the evening was everything you hoped for. Matthew will be thrilled to hear your kind words, we agree, he’s amazing! From the cozy booth to the champagne toast, we loved being part of your special moment. Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter, and we can't wait to celebrate with you again soon!

    We dined in the Tea Room (upstairs) staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Nick, our waiter, was extremely polite and his suggestions were great. The ambiance was very pleasant and the food was quite delicious.

    Honestly blown away by the service, food & atmosphere! There were 12 of us celebrating a CU Denver graduate on a Saturday, upstairs at 6pm. They accommodated us bringing extra guests, setting us up together. The waitress was beyond helpful and attentive. She helped us order family style for the whole table and was always bringing us drinks. I wish I remembered her name….. anyway, we will return as the food was fabulous, the DJ was great and the staff were lovely.

    Hi Melanie, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear your group had such a memorable celebration with us. It was our pleasure to accommodate your party, and we're especially glad to hear your server made the experience even better, they'll be so happy to hear your feedback. We'll be sure to share this with the team. Congratulations again to the CU Denver graduate, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back soon!

    Loved the drinks and the variety of dishes. Delicious soup dumplings. Probably one of the best fried rice dishes that I have ever had, and not a dish I expected to give notice to. Not a huge fan of ordering via my phone - but the times are a changing.
    Bao BrewhouseResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Maggie, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the soup dumplings and fried rice, two of our favorites as well. We totally understand your thoughts on phone ordering. For guests who prefer a more traditional dining experience, we invite you to check out our upstairs Tea Room, where full service is offered without QR codes. Please let us know if we can make you a reservation in the future. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another great meal, your way!

    Our party of 8 joined Bao Brewhouse for dinner in the tea room. We had an excellent private booth which allowed for good conversation and sharing of dishes with a lazy Susan in the center. Despite our secluded/recessed booth, the noise level was slightly loud, but didnt interfere with our conversation. Our server (Nick) was informative and helpful. The food was spectacular and cocktails tasty. Would highly recommend and return!

    Hi Sarah, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your evening in the Tea Room. We’ll be sure to pass along your shoutout to Nick as well. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another round of cocktails and shared plates!

    We went for the all you can eat dumpling night originally, but after learning you only get one kind of dumpling (the soup dumplings), we changed course and just ordered individual menu items. It ended up being a much more expensive meal because of it, and felt a bit like a sneaky way to get people into the restaurant. The dumplings we had were great! The Peking duck was very underwhelming. The service was good, but not amazing. We had to re ask for quite a few things. It’s a cool spot with great ambiance, but I don’t know if I’d be itching to go again anytime soon.
