Freshcraft
We serve upscale comfort food in a casual atmosphere. Freshcraft is a great place for a quick lunch, a relaxing dinner, or something to fill you up after a night on the town. We make nearly all of our food from scratch using fresh ingredients and you can taste it. Our kitchen stays open late, serving a limited menu well past the regular dinner hour. Our huge selection of craft beers has been handpicked for pairing with the food. Of course they"re great to enjoy all on their own as well. Or, if wine or cocktails are more your thing, our bar is fully stocked with all of your favorites. Everyone is welcome at Freshcraft, and we look forward to seeing you here!

"We went there for a Mother's Day lunch because the menu sounded interesting and there were two vegan entrée options. I ordered the fried pickles and mushroom tacos. I knew the pickles would not be healthy or low fat, but I wasn't expecting the tacos to be so greasy and filled with sauerkraut.Note to the chef- try making quinoa tacos for a vegan entrée- no grease necessary. Also, if someone is ordering the vegan version of the fried pickles, please don't bring out a dipping sauce with dairy in it! The place is really dark and felt mostly like a bar throughout. The seats were comfortable and the service was decent although the server did not know the menu very well. My mom enjoyed her salmon wrap although the portion was huge!"

"I love the menu small, medium and large dinner plate selections makes it easy for any size portions of food. Food is amazing new fresh ideas and the food is great!! Best craft beer place I have been with over 20 draft taps and seem like about 75 bottled beers can find anythign to go with the food! They even suggest on the menu what to pair with the food. Will keep going back again and again!"

"I visited Freshcraft on a dinner date with a girl-friend. We made reservations for 6:00 and the place wasn't all that busy. We sat at a table outside which was quite enjoyable in downtown Denver. The food was good, quite original. Most of the menu was pub food with a high end twist to it. The hash puppies were to die for though! Service was great. We had an overall lovely time."

"I usually don't have an issue with this place and always recommend it to friends due the abundance of drink options. However, this last experience was quite the turn-off. My mother in law ordered a sandwich and the meat was so tough she couldn't even eat it. When our waitress asked us how our meal was, we referenced the inedible sandwich to which she just awkwardly laughed and said "oh" and didn't say anything after that. Not even an apology or anything to make her feel better about the overall experience. It was awkward wach time she came to our table. When we left we tried to mention it to the manager, but were left to just telling the bartender about the food quality."

"It was very loud, the service was slow and the food was only marginal. I wouldn't go back. I ordered a "large plate" of schnitzel and it was anything but. It had almost nothing on it except for 2 tough pieces of meat. Our appetizer arrived w our meal after a long wait. Overall it was a disappointment."

"An excellent gastropub with unique menu items, a fantastic craft beer selection both on tap and in bottles, and very family-friendly. It's a great place for parents to enjoy excellent food and beer without having to pay a babysitter. The Cassoulet was amazing. There are a lot of great places to drink good beer in Denver, but I'll be back for the duck."

"We waited for a server for about 7 minutes after being seated. Honestly, we didn't even notice the time going by- we were focused on the fantastic beer list. When he did come, he started out with an apology. The manager was right behind him to offer a free round on the house- we really appreciated that attention to service. As an ex-Iowan, I loved the gooseberry relish and the "Iowa special" of ham rolled with cream cheese and a pickle! Friendly staff, great food, and freshly-tapped Pliny the Elder? We'll definitely be back."
