Having just moved to Denver, my friends recommended Steuben's as a great place to get a drink and some good food. Stopped in for some appetizers and a few drinks and was generally treated like an alien.\r
\r
When we asked for a table, mentioned we were there for the beans (which came highly recommended), we were practically scoffed at and given rude, bewildered looks. Seated near the back, our server continued to talk down to us and treat us as if we had the plague the entire time. From the sarcastic tone of voice, rude looks, and sideways glances from across the restaurant, I've never felt more unwelcome in any place before. If we'd merely occupied a table for a side dish or two and spent an undue amount of time there I could understand, but we ran up a fairly good check, especially for a slow afternoon.\r
\r
Despite the service, the food was quite good. A couple things really stood out: the smoky pork and beans are some of the best I've had; the fries were crisp and tasty, along the lines of good pomme frites, especially with a side of gravy. \r
\r
Drinks were interesting and, in some cases, original. Try the Cherry Cola.\r
\r
Would I recommend it to other people new to the area? No, probably not, unless there was nowhere else to go.
Pros: Good food, good drinks, good music and noise levels
Cons: Rude server(s)
