My Brother's Bar

The Johnny burger here is so delicious..with jalapeño cream cheese and lots of sides!
I have loved this burger for many many years!
Fry's and onion rings are a must have!
With a nice cold beer  or not!

Seems we end going to MBB every time we come to Denver. Tanner was our server. Funny helpful and spot on service. Thanks.
Ralphie burger and rings and fries. Perfectly cooked and hot.
Will be back. Of course!!

This was a very interesting place to me - the beer selection was great and so was the whole vibe of the bar. It's pretty cool how old school the keep the whole atmosphere.

The service was also good. Now, as for the food:

We tried the following:

- Nachos with red chili: thing movie theater nachos with thin chips and velvetta (or shredded) cheese. They were fine - just what you would expect they would taste like.

- hot Buffalo chicken tenders - nothing out of this world, most likely frozen Sysco tenders. Not bad, not amazing. The sauce comes on the side

- jalapeño poppers - same thing, they kind of reminded me of the TGIF frozen poppers from the grocery store, again not bad, just not what I expected

- their desserts, below average. We tried the mousse cake and their cheesecake. Also tasted like frozen Sysco desserts. Not bad, not great.

Now as for the burgers, I tried the cheeseburger...it was so so good! Super well seasoned, the sesame seed bun was soft and delicious. I ordered mine with American cheese and it was honestly the most classic cheeseburger I've had in a while.

The portion is small but mighty. I would definitely go back for beers and cheeseburgers! Try them out!

Was in town for work, left my hotel and started walking, not familiar one bit with the city/neighborhood. Saw this place walked in and turns out my instincts were right. Unique, Historic & Delicious.

OMG the "Johnny Burger" is devine!
Great little hole in the wall restaurant bar with the appeal of your favorite well worn comfortable shoes.  This was my first visit so I'll be back to try something else on the menu.

It's a dive bar with food, My Brother's Bar was the hangout for some of that beat generation including Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac (it was then known as Paul's Place). It's not a fancy place but the burgers are cooked to order on a flat top grill and the beers are poured cold.

It's not hard to find if you know where it is, but there is no sign out front and no advertising. They have no wifi. There were no televisions. I think they take credit cards but I'm not sure.

Sit at the bar, take in the atmosphere, drink a beer like I did. Maybe get one of those burgers (which I did not tonight). Enjoy.

Burgers were awesome! Service was spectacular and I enjoyed the history too. Will visit every time we are in Denver.

This wasn't the 4.5 star establishment or experience we expected. Truly not sure of where people have been previously and what they think is a "great burger" but I've had better burgers from fast food establishments.

We sat on the back patio. We received our food before our drinks and the staff handled the drinks from the rim of the glass. The burgers were "cooked to order" however we weren't asked how we wanted our burgers cooked. The meat didn't have much flavor and the fries were okay.

Not sure how this place continues to operate or get the reviews it does but for being the oldest bar in Denver at some point you would think they would elevate their service, product and quality.

Most unbelievable service! Seated next to a garbage can! And then threaten to buy staff. Apparently not welcome.

I love the Ralphie burger with Jalapeño Cream Cheese (JCC) BEST BURGER in the Denver area!!! The onion rings are to die for!!! The condiment tray has everything you need to make it your own!!
