    Food and drinks were okay but I do not recommend as a chill spot, they are pretty pushy to get you out due to reservations.

    Based on all the great reviews we gave it a shot. Drinks and food were fine. With that said, I don’t get it. “A Latin inspired concept” yet nothing we ate had a latin flavor profile. The dishes on their own were tasty, but as we were encouraged to share, nothing really went well together. Specifically, we shared the chicken wings (sweet and mustardy but no aji Amarillo taste at all), the steak (a bit tough and not even a hint of mole???), fish (greens way over vinegared and not even sure what flavor the sauce was), and the broccoli (which tasted more Asian than Latin). And for almost $100 pp won't be returning.

    Food was moderately pricey. But it was very good! Would consider visiting again. Their coconut rice is absolutely incredible. Don’t forget to try their churros. They claim to be best in Colorado.

    We went with the Bear Basket three-course meal and it did not disappoint. From the Aguachile appetizer, the Pork Chop main dish (served with three(!) sides) to the final dish of house-made Churros, this meal was amazing from start to finish. Definitely worth celebrating a special event! Just excellent.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and am so glad I did. Three friends and I stopped in for dinner before a concert and had a fantastic and fun experience. Our sever was super friendly and personable, and offered some menu suggestions to better complement our main entree choices. Every dish was uniquely flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly, and the margaritas were top notch. I can't wait to go back to Señor Bear!

    Food was great, took a very long time coming out - and then they asked us to hurry and leave because they had another reservation coming in. Would have been fine timing if we hadn't waited almost an hour for our food to come out.

    My partner and I went 2 Senior Bear for an anniversary dinner. Was a wonderful experience as we arrived we sat down and were greeted with 2 glasses of sparkling! Our starters of the ceviche and bread apps were delicious! For entrees we had the halibut and pork chop both wonderful dishes! The cocktails as well as glasses of wine went well with our food! We were so full and happy with our meal that we didn’t have room for dessert. The great waiter brought us out churros to take home. They were delicious! We will definitely recommend this place to friends as well as going back ourselves. Thanks so much for a memorable experience cheers….

    The food and service are always great here. The broccoli saltado is my favorite dish in Denver, and the cocktails are all awesome. The only drawback is the music. It’s always so loud and not the most pleasant, especially when you have to yell to be heard.

    The food here is amazing!! It’s always so good. Our service this time was eh. Our server seemed bothered by us. Took quite awhile to be greeted, didn’t ask about food allergies. We ordered appetizers as our meal and they pretty much came all at once. Didn’t ask if we wanted everything at the same time. Probably should have been staggered a little bit so we didn’t have so many plates all at once. There is also an automatic 20% service charge so there doesn’t seem to be an incentive to go above and beyond? She also was not acting this way with the table next to us….so not sure what we did? I have eaten here a couple of times in the last month and I will have to say that both times I have been here there has been a woman in there with no shoes on, sitting barefoot, legs crossed with their dirty feet all over the furniture!!! Might not bother anyone else but I think that is really gross and not what you expect when you are spending $200+ for dinner for 3. How does the saying go, no shoes, no shirt, no service? They have a patio, maybe encouraging people who don’t want to wear shoes to eat out there? I really don’t want to look at dirty feet while I eat!

    The quality of the food and service has definitely gone downhill. The waitress was unfriendly and inattentive. The guacamole was so salty it was inedible. The sangria was unbalanced and the tacos were flavorless. Sad because this used to be one of our favorite places. We don’t plan to go back.

    We had an absolutely fantastic birthday family dinner! The cocktails and mocktails were all delicious, especially the horchatta and the pog margarita. Our server was so helpful in guiding us in our menu selections and the flavors of every dish were just amazing! As we were sharing all dishes, we avoided the mole due to a nut allergy, but there were so many other options that we didn't feel like we missed out. 10 out of 10!!! Perfect dinner!
