The outdoor deck is open with stunning views of Coal Creek Canyon and Golden Gate Canyon. Dogs are welcome on the deck!

Reuben sandwich was great and the tater tots were too. Lots of good stuff on the menu. Fresh and hot right off the cooker. Beer is cold cold too. Full bar is pretty stocked. Lots of TVs on both sides of the roomy bar. They have a screened in porch overlooking the trees and drop off and often have a live band. Lots of parking just off 72 and not far from Arvada.

Canyon Tavern is the perfect place to go if: you want to instantly feel like part of a close-knit, yet welcoming, community; you want to experience excellent service from fun and genuine staff; you want to nibble on craveworthy appetizers and deliciously satisfying entrées; you want to watch all the big games on their multiple screens or take in the stunning panoramic views from the patio or the wall of windows. It’s truly a charming gem and we are looking forward to becoming regulars!

The staff, food, and atmosphere were great! We arrived with a group of 7 and they not only welcomed us with open arms and put tables together but also got incredible service. It’s the type of place I would love to be able to frequent more often. If you ever are in the area I would highly recommend stopping by for a drink or food!

Had the Ruben sandwich with tater tots on the deck. Really good. Sandwich and tots were the best I’ve had in a long time. Service was very good although a little slow. I’m sure do to being a little understaffed. Just more time to enjoy the sun and the view. Very nice staff and very nice view. Will surely be coming back.

Tried twice now and the food was terrible. The cloe slaw was old, brown and had NO dressing. Cheesesteak was just a hunk of meat, not chopped, and could not bite through it. The fries were the only good thing. Don’t bother.

Food was mediocre. We ordered the loaded fries and a cheese burger. The loaded fries were OK but definitely not loaded. They were $10 and only had cheese on them, no green chile as the menu mentioned. The burger was ordered “medium” but was really dry. For drinks, we had a soda that was nearly all syrup and an ice water that tasted strange. The waiter was friendly but didn’t stop by to check in so we could mention these issues. I hope they take this feedback and improve.

We live down the street from here and come basically every few days because everyone is sooooo nice! We just moved here and feel like we made a community! Did I mention they have the world’s best tator tots!? Come for that, stay for small talk

Bar that sells food on the side. If you want drinks with old school bar smell and atmosphere perfect spot. This place understands revenue margins and knows it’s at the bar. New ownership has painted to make things brighter but still a bar serving drinks to pay mortgage and serving food to bring in folks that don’t know better.

Good place to eat. Being a local, I like the new owner, Kathy. Also, the tall cook in the back was pretty funny.
