First time in the Denver area and my wife and I wanted to see what the local scene was like. Glad we decided on the Wayback, we had a wonderful experience. Cocktails were spot on, atmosphere was fabulous for our night out, menu was rather creative and the service was excellent. We sampled several appetizers and when we ordered our entrees asked if we’d be sharing those as well, we were, so she had the kitchen course them out separately so we could share them one at a time. A simple thing to do but it really elevated the experience.

We had a fantastic meal and experience here! It was a bit out of the way from other places we were checking out on a recent trip to Denver, but it was worth it! It was definitely a trendier spot, but we enjoyed the food and drinks! I will say that the portions were on the smaller side, so either eat a snack before or don’t come too hungry without knowing you’ll have to spend a bit.

Great food! Chef Dylan and Matt are very talented and know how to create some real tasty dishes. This is a must go to restaurant for cocktails and dinner. Can’t forget dessert too!

Words can’t begin to describe on how the food here is. They have an amazing service an A+++. It’s a little on the price side but their service and food makeup for it. They have a good selection of drinks and all their food is made by local organic ingredient. Their menu does change as season change since they only use ingredients that are in season. Defiintly a must try.

Had a wonderful time at The Way Back getting drinks, appetizers, and desserts. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. The drinks and appetizers were delicious, but the Cornbread dessert was insanely delicious. I was actually sad when we finished eating it.

Nice pub like vibe. Appropriately dark inside and the booths are nicely private. The food was fine, nothing to write home about. The menu rotates reasonably often so there may be better stuff.

We came here based on the Eater reviews and I’m so glad we did! Service was extremely friendly – a little slow but it looked like there was a party of about 30 in the back so that’s normal. Food and drinks were all excellent – we got a bunch of different dishes to share, definitely snag some bread and butter to start but after that you can’t go wrong! The menu changes weekly so I won’t recommend specific things and get your hopes up….but it was all good 🙂
