Goosetown Bar & Restaurant Open 7 days a week!
The Goosetown Tavern, opened in September 1998, is located at the south-west corner of Colfax and Adams in Denver’s Congress Park area, right across the street from the Bluebird Theater. The Goosetown Tavern is all about having fun.
Goosetown is named for a former bar of the same name in Golden, Colorado. A German immigrant, Julius Shultz, originally built the Goosetown Tavern in 1873. Until its demise, the original Goosetown Tavern was the oldest continually licensed tavern in Colorado. It originally acquired its quirky moniker from the nickname of the community it served. The German immigrants who settled in the foothills around Golden brought with them their fondness for waterfowl and created many ponds and lakes to encourage migrating geese to stay in Golden, and the district became known as Goosetown.
Upon demolition of the original bar in 1998 to make room for a parking lot, John Hickenlooper, founder of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, former Denver Mayor and Colorado Governor, salvaged the front and back bars and booths in an effort to capture the essence of the original Goosetown Tavern and restored them as our bar at the Goosetown Tavern.
Fast Forward to today at the Goosetown Tavern BBQ, where we cook our meats slow and low using a post oak powered smoker. We offer juicy brisket, yummy pulled pork and vegan BBQ Jackfruit. We have much more to offer in addition to BBQ including Nashville Hot Wings & Chicken Sandwiches, tacos, white cheddar mac-n-cheese, fried tofu sandwich, and our super tasty Smashburger. See our menu here.
