The beer alone is enough to keep the most discerning palate in his seat, but the draw of the Blake Street Tavern only begins with Flying Dog brews; the Blake offers the only plate of nachos where the chips will be gone before the toppings every time. What's more the buffalo wings are consistently cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spice. If you're looking for something more substantive, you can always expect a very tasty cup of spicy chicken chipotle soup, a pretty good burger or club sandwich, prime rib cooked to order, or a filling Chicago-style dog. The real draw with the Blake Street Tavern, though, is the atmosphere; large plasma screens and all the sports packages to watch your favorite team, separate rooms to host a party, trivia night, booze tastings, shuffle board, pool, whatever your fancy, and it's all highlighted by a staff that never stops smiling, laughing, and joking.
Pros: Beer selection and quality; nachos and wings; service; atmosphere; proximity to Coors Field
Cons: Game day crowds
