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.

"I choose Earls when I need to be confident that the service, food, and drinks will be perfect for important business meetings. The last thing you want to worry about is that the dinner will be a disaster when having these meetings."

"I would've like to be asked if I wanted water- this is a drought, & I didn't drink the water poured for me. It was very noisy, more than I expected for the lunch time crowd! It was my first time, and I picked this place due to the online menu. My sandwich was excellent and did not dissapoint! The waiter even had the chef make honey mustard for our fries! I had to ask for refils, and the wait to order & to pay was long. Lunch should be more of a quicker service. I would like to be in and out in about 45-min to an hour, not 90 mins. I would reccomend this place, but before I did I would qualify why someone wanted to go there. It was noisy, so probably not for someone with younger kids. I loved the upstairs half inside, yet outside feel."

"We arrived and was seated immediately, even though we were early. As per prior reviews we requested upstairs. Host was very gracious and helpful by letting me know about the elevator since I just had full knee replacement surgery. Service was excellent and friendly, food on time and was hot. We did have only one glitch though. I had ordered the 16 oz rib eye steak and I am positive they substituted a NY strip steak. There is a difference in texture and flavor. The steak was cook perfectly, so I did not say anything, plus my friends were having such a nice time I did not want to dampen the energy. Very nice time."

"One of the hostesses was not well trained. She seemed confused when asked to locate the party for the second guests arrival. When we asked to move to a dining table instead of a small bar cocktail table in the crowded bar they said no problem. Once we finally were escorted into the dining area the hostess that seated us (same on thjat did not know where our party was in the beginning) was unsure where to seat us, we stood there while she looked around and asked another floor manager for a suggestion. This seemed very disorganized! Some things would have been a big deal if it was not 5280 week but we were understanding of the crowded space, limited seating, and undertrained staff. Also, poor tequila selections at the bar."

"We were at Earl's for restaurant week so the menu was understandably limited. The appetizer and our fish dish were delicious and portions more than ample, especially for restaurant week. However, our "roasted chicken" was two pieces of thin and rather tried out boneless breast, pretty tasteless. Dessert was also excellent and the service was impeccable - not too attentive, just right. We were unfortunately sitting next to a table with a very loud man who talked non-stop. Perhaps his constant chatter was amplified by the atrium style of this otherwise lovely restaurant."
