Katie Mullen’s Irish Pub and Restaurant

the greatest variety in food and it is awesome!!! i had a good 50.00+ order and it was delivered fast, great driver. i will be telling all my friends and coming back for more!!!

Drinks are well done and service is fast. The staff is really knowledgable and can answer any questions about menu or drinks. Stopped in for a couple drinks while in Denver and was amazed at the consistency they have, each drink will always be poured the same.

I’ve had better Irish pubs, and yet I’ve had worse. As the first place my friends and I stopped after landing in Denver, Katie Mullen’s overwhelmed us with meh. My opinion of meh is even stronger considering the caliber of service and food we received elsewhere during our 4 day stay.
While the place has the ambiance, it’s a bit large to have the genuine cozy Irish pub feel. I felt swallowed by the place, but I’m sure St Paddy’s really turns out. My French dip was nothing to write home about but the beer selection was nice. The waiter had an annoyed, let’s-get-these-girls-out-of-here kind of vibe at first, which only got worse. Needless to say, we found 16^th Street and other places in which we felt more welcomed.

Came her for lunch with the family prior to a Bronco’s game. Service was quick and attentive. The genuine Irish pub and restaurant décor, including U2 playing on the house system, was welcoming. Stand outs include the house Irish red ale, lobster bisque (best ever had!) and porterhouse steak. The shepherds pie, French onion soup, and house burger were good. Would definitely be back when in town. Would probably just have a huge bowl of lobster bisque and the fish and chips, along with lots of the house Irish ale!

We stopped in on New Years eve.
The place was busy and had a great atmosphere, partly due to the live piano player; partly due to the wonderful staff.
We were welcomed and sat very quickly.
I had their signature Cherry Martini! It was so yummy!
The dinner options were authentic, well made and super fresh.
Mashed carrots and Turnips were a great treat with the chicken.
Fries were well done.
Their Katie’s Cheeseburger hit the spot.
I truly don’t think you could go wrong with this place.
Either for drinks or a meal, this place has all you want from an Irish Pub.

As far as Irish pubs go, this place is alright. The food is reasonable for the price, and the ambiance is great. However, the table service is slow; I’ve been here multiple times, and there never seems to be enough waitresses for the number of tables being served. I usually get the Irish stew — it’s consistently good. The Guinness on tap is at the right temperature and rounds out the meals nicely.
I recommend this place.

I have never had Irish food before and I really like how the environment and food radiates the traditional Irish feel to make anyone forget that they’re in Denver and instead are in the heart of Ireland. The service was very attentive as well and everyone’s food was very delicious. I can see why my boyfriend has such a huge craving for his place all the time. It actually amazes me that this place has such a low rating when this one and only visit from me consisted of nothing but satisfaction and a happy tummy.

I wil never come to this restaurant again. Got here at 6:50pm. Plenty of time to order a happy hour drink and food. Took bartender till 6:57 to ask for drink order. Got drinks at 7:00, never asks if I wanted food. Doesn’t come back until 7:08, after telling me to «hold on» when I requested his attention. Btw, was not busy whatsoever. He takes my food order (two items from HH menu). He comes back a couple minutes later to tell me he only put in one item in (an item with a price the same outside of HH), since it’s past happy hour. Are you fucking kidding me? You make me wait until it’s past happy hour, then make it as if I missed the time frame? Not only that. I finished my first drink, and waited 25 minutes until I just asked for my bill. Do NOT come here. Food sucks too.

Won’t find a more authentic pub w friendly faces. Great atmosphere, the service is so personal and friendly it’s hard to not keep going back. Food is great, chili is top notch. It’s the kind of spot where they will know you by name in short time.

Beautiful area and very clean. I ordered the portobello sandwich and soup as a side. The soup was okay and the sand which was okay too. I would come back to hang out but I’m not sure the food is worth the price.

I’m just not sure where to start. Perhaps the hostess who sat behind the counter with arms crossed being utterly useless? And then was completely snotty when we asked to be seated. The bartender who glared at us after we pointed out to our waitress that the drink she delivered had lipstick on the glass?
Seriously people. Get your poop in a group. This is NOT satisfactory customer service. Take a good look around your restaurant: 85% vacancy. Yard House: 0% vacancy. Figure it out.

My wife and I were staying across the street at the Sheraton and stopped in here to get dessert to go to the hotel. Unfortunately, it took over 20 minutes to get our food, even though it was all pre-​made and just needed plated.
What is even worse though, is the frosting on the carrot cake tasted absolutely bizarre! The frosting tasted almost like chicken gravy (?)… yes, just strange! Also, my wife had the bread pudding, which too was strange, but at least it didn’t taste like gravy I guess.

WOW, WOW, WOW! What a great find! This restaurant’s fish and chips are absolutely the best in the Nation, IMHO. We also tried the Salmon Salad and the rubbed Scottish Salmon was superb.
The atmosphere ranges from exciting in the huge bar (we were there during the USC v. Notre Dame game) to intimate in our quiet and tastefully done Victorian dining booth. The service was great, and the Smithwick’s on tap was a taste treat. BONUS: The beer prices during happy hour are outstanding!
If you’re staying at the downtown Sheraton for training, then all you have to do is walk out the door, and the restaurant is on the corner.

Daily happy hour with drink & appetizer specials from 4−7pm. Nice patio.

When giving restaurant reviews on Unilocal,I try to be fair and impartial, and always consider factors like the context of the situation (was it a busy night?), the ambiance (was it meant to be a casual thing, or a swanky affair?), the food and its respective pricing ($ 10 or $ 30?) and so on. I’ve seen Unilocalers leave a one star review in a traditional Chinese noodle house claiming they don’t offer rice/​gluten-​free dishes, and I firmly believe in leaving a review that is useful for other users of this service. I think one star reviews should be carefully thought out and never given out with haste.
This all changes with two words.
Food. Poisoning.
Firstly, this place is right on 16^th street, and below the Sheraton. It boasts an impressive bar, and is very convenient if you are looking to grab a relatively casual pub fare or a couple of drinks when you need to be somewhere else. I get that, and I think this is good for that.
My significant other and I did not drink, so no comment on the drinks.
We ordered:
Fried Oysters
Scotch Egg
Beef Stroganoff
Bangers and Champ
Now, we do not know which one was the culprit that made us miss half our theater show later on, but we did notice that most of the food was lukewarm, and there were even a few cold bites in the beef stroganoff.
It was a relatively busy night, and food came pretty slow. We did not kick up a fuss, and we weren’t in that big of a hurry. However, we did not want to go through the trouble of sending food back if it was lukewarm as we would cut it close to our theater show.
The food was O-​K, prices were O-​K. Were they authentic? Nope. But having lived in England for years, I wasn’t expecting an authentic Irish meal. (Although, if you are looking for the best scotch egg around, I’ve been impressed by the one served in Thirsty Lion Gastropub near Union Station!) Service was O-​K. Nothing to complain, nothing to shout about, but I didn’t come here for a spectacular meal anyway, I just wanted to get fed!
1.5 hours later, all hell breaks loose. Unfortunately, we were in a show. Fortunately, no accidents occur, but here I am, swaddled in blankets the day after, drinking hot tea and calming my poor stomach, and thinking to myself– Why did I go there?
The menu looks nice, the food was OK. The drinks looked fantastic. So yes, give it a try if you are looking for a place to chug down some booze. But if you are there for a meal, be wary and take the time to send back anything you are suspicious of!

Went here a couple of times after the GABF event. I enjoyed a couple of ciders the first time and the bar service was okay. The second time I had drinks and food; 9÷25÷15.
Jennifer was my bartender the second visit and she did a great job, hence the ⁴⁄₅ Stars. She was the only bartender that actually talked to me out of ‘all’ the bars I went to, I saw her talking with all of her customers, a standard that seems to have been lost. Now, I would have given a 5 Star rating, but she didn’t check to see how my food was, a biggie for me.
What bartenders and managers seem to have forgotten — If you sit at the bar, you want conversation and service. If you sit at a table, you want service and less conversation.
I had the Fish and Chips, they were very good but the fish was pretty skimpy for $ 14.00; one small piece. I wouldn’t order it again. The fries were excellent though.
It’s a bit pricey but had great atmosphere. I’d go back for sure.
Thank you for your time.

Came here for dinner and got the salmon and beet salad with goat cheese and hazelnuts. The salmon was warm and cooked perfectly and the portion was so large that I had to box the rest to go. I was hoping to have room for the Bread Pudding but since I didn’t I will be coming back .
Staff is very friendly and Great happy hour menu and prices as well.

Such a cool bar. Off the beaten path of 16^th street but so close it’s convenient.
The reason for 3 stars is because the red haired bartender is clearly drunk. She has been stumbling around and making weird faces.
I feel bad giving mediocre review because the band is great as is the atmosphere but her professionalism (or lack of) is a turn off.
Didn’t have food but my drink was great and the vibe with the band is spectacular!

While walking around the 16^th Street Mall to wrap up our vacation, this Irish pub caught my husband’s eye. We started with the Katie’s spuds for an app and it was pretty good. My only suggestion would be to cut the potato into round vs. slices so it’s more sturdy. They were really good regardless of the way it was cut. I tried the chicken and bacon boxty and it was unlike anything I’ve eaten before and now I’ll have to try and recreate it at home! My husband got the bangers and mash and the bite I tried was pretty good too.

When I saw there was a pub at the base of the hotel I was staying at (let’s just say my apartment is currently getting renovated) — I figured, what the hell, let’s try it out! I mean, they have a happy hour every day from 4 – 7 and we were able to indulge in it.
I want to let you know, this is a big place. It says max occupancy is 566. I can believe it. Hell, they have at LEAST 3 bars in there!
We sat near the main one. Lots of dark woods, and stone work around as well. Lots of tvs too with sports on. They have a large menu, a drink menu, and also a happy hour menu. With that being said, it takes a while to go through all of them.
We were hungry, so we ordered a TON of shit. I mean, why not? We ended up getting 2 – 3 apps, and an entrée a piece.
I won’t lie, the pub chips, were good– which I am usually picky about. The «Katie’s spuds» were probably my least favorite– I wish the potatoes were cooked more. However, the topping was great.
The beers were flowing, and so was my bladder– this kept me wanting more! I knew we ordered a lot of apps, so I kept the entrée light, with a ham and cheese on focaccia. I ended up getting (you won’t believe it) basil buttered zucchini on the side. It was surprisingly tasty!
The sandwich itself was excellent as well. The bread was light and fluffy, but enough to soak the mustard and alcohol. I liked the concept.
I saw for dessert they had THREE types of bread pudding. I decided to get the butterscotch bread pudding, and I won’t lie– it was one of the best BPs I have EVER consumed! For a pub of this nature (touristy, based at a hotel), I was thrilled to have eaten that there.
The people were friendly, the food was unique, and I didn’t end up getting food poisoned. I will take it!
