How can you not like this place? Decent bar food, low prices and a good daily happy hour with reasonable prices. it is also family friendly.

Breakfast on Tuesday morning with Yvonne is always the best! Great company, fun conversations with the regulars. On the weekdays the breakfast is limited but go for the hashbrowns or breakfast burrito. Weekends there's a full breakfast menu that you can't miss.

Stopped by on Sunday afternoon for a drink on the patio. The place was fairly busy with people enjoying a warm, sunny afternoon. It's conveniently located in downtown Parker. The crowd was older and mostly comprised of locals, a hand full of bikers, and what appeared to be some "leftovers" from the night before. We ordered a couple drinks, which were reasonably priced during happy hour, and chips/salsa and a pretzel. Both appetizers were okay, but only because I could wash them down with a beer. Maybe I'm becoming a snob, but this was not the bar for me. It reminded me of the local hole in the wall I haunted during college, "the Slurp and Burp." Those days are long gone, and there is no need to "re-live" days past. Parker needs a more upscale bat that serves more than two types of wine (house red and white). My search continues...

this was the absolutely worst breakfast ever! The gravy was horrible with no sausage and no flavor plus the bacon that was supposed to be thick applewood was paper thin and under cooked. You would have to have a hangover or no tastbuds to eat here!
(1)Darin B.
Went for lunch, bar smelt like piss and had fruit flies all over. Took forever to get service and they messed up our order. Needed condiments it was like you needed a act of God to get service. Food sucked was not good at all. Will never go back to this place. I don't even know how they stay in business.
(1)Kelly M.
Love the $5 Monday night Burger deal. Angry Vegan pizza.
(4)Eliana B.
If you want to be shoved under a TV while you are having dinner and are a regular customer, then by all means go to this establishment and eat. We are regulars, we do enjoy going there and the food is good and the servers are always pleasant...however tonight was the F BOMB and as I said to the owner bad news travels fast...this was the worst ever and I feel bad for others who were treated the same or worse who may not be vocal...you pushed us to make room for Poker Tables...really...hope we all come back? NOT!
(1)Wayne A.
Cool place in Parker to watch a game or catch some live music in the evenings. They have a great outdoor area with lots of tables. Good bar food. The breakfast is really good!
(5)Rishard C.
Even though there was an issue with it taking a while to get my drink, I'd definitely come back to his place, especially on Wednesday for the 50 cent wings. They had a lot of different drinks on the menu, and I'm going to have to go back at some point and try out more. The wings were pretty good, and they had a lot of options for sauces which you could get on the side or on wings themselves. The honey bbq and the asian sauces were a great choice. The wings were a good size as well so we felt like we got quite a bit for our money.
(4)Jenn C.
Perfectly good bar food, great patio!!! I've been twice now, once on a cold Thursday night and once on a sunny Sunday. The Thur night we went, there was a really loud band playing. Not unexpected, but it would have been nice to have a conversation. Instead we just ate and got out of there. My steak fajitas were blah, and they server didn't bring the rice & beans that were supposed to come with it (I didn't want them bad enough to speak over the band tho). My bf's burger, ordered medium, was raw. He just ate around the edges, but she didn't question it when she took it away. The fries were delicious tho. Our sunny Sunday was much better. Three of us shared a sampler with rocky mountain oysters (good!), cheese curds (really good but missing the marinara sauce served with the full app of curds), wings (honey hurt me sauce was great sweet and spicy), and sweet potato fries (salty and hot) and a plate of steak nachos. The steak was practically non-existent, but the toppings were great. Excellent jalapenos! Michelle was a great server, very attentive and flirty with our single friend ;-) The patio is awesome and very dog friendly; will be really hot during the heat of the summer and they could def use some shady spots.

Just not been happy the last several times here. I understand it is mainly a bar so you shouldn't expect 5 star food. Actually the food isn't bad, it's actually pretty good. The services lately has been terrible. Not sure if it's inexperience on the servers part or they are just understaffed. Today I went in and waited 20 min to order coffee for myself and juice for my daughter. Waited another 15 min before the server came back to take our order. By that time we were done and wanted to leave. I asked for a check to pay for the drinks ; at this point they should have given it to is for free, it was coffee and OJ; neither was drank. Oh well I paid $5.00 and left. I actually like this place but like I said the last four times were just terrible on the service end. Not sure if I will go back. If I do it will either be much better or it will be my last time....
(2)Amber L.
Fun place to watch a football game! Great food and drinks. Love their beef on wick! My husband and I are both originally from Buffalo, NY and give it the seal of approval!
(5)Jason H.
Looking for a college like bar that is fun for all ages? This is the place. Atmosphere is great, live music is better. Great place for a night out. Prices are reasonable, staff is great, and they have something every night.
(5)Jim T.
What a fun place. Great deals on beer and the food is good. The patio and live music make for a very fun evening!
(5)Randy J.
We had lunch this past Saturday at this place and I thought the staff was okay, but seemed not the most friendly. They were not that busy, so I am not sure what had the mood a bit dour. However, the food was good in which you can get either a healthy dish or more traditional bar food. They have a good choice of beers and I saw guys playing poker with poker chips in the bar. Although, I am not sure if they were gambling for charity or for their own personal gain. It was interesting to see it in Parker, CO. and as far as I am concern people should be able to gamble in a bar if the owner wants it, but I am a more of a social libertarian on issues like that. Anyway, this is a good place to stop by for lunch or dinner in the bar or on the patio and they have live bands at this place, so go there for that too.
(3)Pixie M.
Love Sunday brunch on the patio, top three reasons: 1) I can take my boxer dog duo 2) Two-for-one bloody marys 3) Decent bar food with good service. We've been going to the Tailgate for almost 15 years and will continue to be fans for many more years to come!
(4)Sam H.
Food is pricey and sub par. The patio is an amazing place to enjoy a summer night with drinks! Service on the patio is also sub par though, thus the 2 star score.
(2)Rick W.
Very good food every time we've been there. Sometimes gets pretty crowded and that slows down the kitchen, but that's easy to deal with when they tell you that things are slower than normal. Go here. Eat good food.
(5)Jim A.
Great place..Lots of fun, excellent food. Best place in Parker! The owners are there all the time and very helpful.
(5)Shannon R.
Horrible service and food! I've given this place three attempts....first time had a snotty server that would walk away while talking to her. This last time same issue. The gravy on my chicken fried steak was so bad I couldn't eat it. It resembled a white paste and no flavor. The server asked if I wanted a box and I explained no thanks the food was not good. She grabbed my plate and walked away. I do not recommend this place.
(1)Brandon W.
If you're looking for a fine dining experience in Parker, this ain't your place. If you're looking for a local bar that serves lots of fried food and beer by the pitcher, you've found it. Nuff said?
(4)Keely G.
Decent food. I'm not sure my expectations are fair in this regard but I did expect it to be priced a little less than every other place in town, only because at the end of the day, this place is a bar/tavern. That's not the case but it's not a place that's going to break the bank. The place wasn't busy when we came in but it did take an exceptionally long time for us to get our food.
(3)Laurie T.
We have been to the Tailgate a few times, and the service is just terrible. They have some "has been" bartenders that do the worst job I've ever seen. I wonder if the owner knows that the heavy set, unfriendly guy behind the bar, and the older lady bartender spend most of their time drinking shots and being obnoxious. I would think it's hard to keep tabs straight, make sure all items are rung in the register, and handle money when you are trashed while working. I bet these bartenders make a lot of money because the place is busy, but the way they act is pathetic to watch. Monday night was our last attempt. The same big guy was behind the bar, getting hammered as usual. A great neighborhood bar still needs a little class. We will not be back..
(1)Barbara K.
A fun place with a nice variety of bar type food. Some good bands, and always busy and fun.
(4)Andrew M.
Whoever said the service here was good is crazy. On three separate occasions I received the worst service I have had in Parker. Not only that,, but the food is pretty iffy. There are too many other places in Parker with good food to put up with this.
(1)Bill D.
Been here a few times. Great food! Amazing owners! Lack luster staff. Attitude is everything. Burger deal on mondays cant be beat! Breakfast is amazing. 80's cover bands a little bit weak. Bring back karaoke, damn that was a blast. I see why its always packed.....have you been to bars in Parker? Will be back!
(4)Jakob E.
They have terrible staff. I was trying to closer out my tab and the bar tender for posed because I didn't know which one of them I opened the tab with. I couldn't hear because it was loud in there and my hearing it's damaged from gun fire (I'm a vet). She then had the bouncer come and kick me out..n tell nicE of her
(1)Christina M.
Go for the live bands and people watching. The drinks are not the greatest and staff not terribly friendly (especially in the thick of things when business is heavy) and as another Yelper noted- the bathrooms are terrible...but functional.
(3)Dale Z.
I felt I needed to write an update for Tailgate Tavern. The reason for this is that whereas before I had pretty much only come here for the bar aspects, I recently came here for the restaurant offerings. I had seen some local Yelpers commenting on the breakfasts, and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. For about $10 bucks I was able to enjoy a full breakfast, as well as two bloody mary's. The bloody mary's are 2 for 1 during breakfast hours. They are pretty average in size and composition. But, they had some nice heat, good flavor, and they packed a wallop. My eggs were cooked exactly as I requested, the bacon was rather nice, and the link sausage was quite good. My dining companion enjoyed his french toast and coffee as well. The breakfast menu is pretty extensive, and this is nice change of pace from the chains. I also dropped by for lunch. I went ahead and had a steak with salad and veggies. It was about the same price as what I would have paid at Outback. The steak was cooked just as I requested, and was a decent cut of meat. The salad was pretty basic, but was about twice the size of what you might expect for a side salad. The winter veggies were okay, if not exciting. My friend had a burger and jalapeno mashed potatoes, and gobbled them down pretty quickly, without complaint. So, this is still food served in a dive bar. But, early in the day, the place is not crowded, has been recently cleaned, and is a very different experience than what you would find on a Friday or Saturday night.
(3)Megan F.
They are packed on Friday/Saturday night. It is hard to get to the bar to order a drink. I love the live music! The staff was friendly, we even chatted with one of the security guards momentarily and got some history about the place. The food was good for your average "bar food".
(5)Mora L.
Dive bar. Great bar food. Fun time. Nice attentive staff. Terrible bathrooms. :(
(4)Joe S.
The service is terrible. The only reason I left is because one waitress at the and cleared our plates asked us how everything was and took her check fairly quickly. They took her order and we were basically ignored after that. We stopped a waitress and asked for water and it never came so I had to ask the bartender.
(1)Laura W.
We love Tailgate. Aside from being walking distance to it, we love the staff, the food, the patio! We feel very at home here. The only thing that is weird is the night crowd that comes into the bar, but they can't help who the crowd is. Monday is $5 burgers ALL DAY! Tuesday is Taco Tuesday and all Mexican meals are a percentage off, Wednesday wings are discounted, Thursday is prime rib night which it's excellent, and now Friday they do fish fry!!! Sat and Sun mornings they have breakfast with BOGO free mimosas. Their wings are delic, their salads are awesome, and the beers are cold. :) Happy Hour is till 7!!! Which is amazing!
(5)Brian L.
Go for the live bands as most are quite entertaining! Wait staff was limited at best and not the most attentive. We went for "Da Funk" and to dance and the band and the dance floor delivered. I recommend to eat elsewhere before you arive; otherwise simple fried bar food is what you will find.
(3)Tom S.
Horrible service unless you sit at the bar. On several different occasions I have had to move to the bar to get service. Staff is no where to be found or they are chatting with friends/customers and completely unaware of empty glasses or new customers. Great menu and good food. Just not worth the hassle.
(1)Eric K.
Love the atmosphere and live bands. Great local bar. Food is ok.
(4)Michael L.
One of the best bars I've been to if you are sociable. Everyone I talked to was friendly, and everyone was having a good time. This is a bar that encourages drinking in a fun and safe way. Plus the drinks were cheaper than average
(5)Jafey A.
I really like the food here and their burger special cannot be beat. And although I think the staff is very friendly, the service is lacking, when we've been there when it's slow our server seems to disappear, and when it's busy, our server seems to be too busy. If the service and refills were a little better it would be a perfect bar.
(3)Jason M.
What's not to like about the Tailgate? Lighting is a little brighter than some places, but it's a good thing: the walls aren't something to hide. There's always a good crowd on the weekends (can't speak for weekdays), and the staff is always friendly. Prices are as-expected, and the entertainment (bands, etc.) tend to be worthwhile. I always enjoy spending a night at the Tailgate, even if it's in Parker. But that's probably why it's so attractive - it's not in downtown Denver with all the fuss. Even if you don't live in Parker, it's worth the trip from most parts of the South/South East metro area.
(4)Shawna S.
Visited last night to watch Willie Nelsons daughter sing. She was amazing, very talented and adorable! Reserved a table, drinks were made just right, strong enough and not watered down. Beers were cold and fresh. Food was above average. Sometimes in Parker food can be hit or miss at even the best places. My husband got the prime rib and a baked potato, it was cooked just right at the baked potato was out of sight good. My friend and I split the fajitas, they were very good. The plate of goodies for the fajitas was very plentiful, not like chili's where you barley get enough cheese for one fajita. Everyone said their food was very good. The burgers looked good and the fries are on my list to try. The only complaint I would have was that the place was packed and only had one woman s stall but it is a small place, service could have been a little faster but like I said the place was packed. So all in all I will be back and soon. The food was above average, drinks were great and the entertainment was outstanding. There was a large variety of people, from younger people in their 20's, some cougars on the prowl, older couples dancing and everything in between.
(4)Sid B.
The service was horrible. When we arrived all the tables on the patio were occupied or full of dirty dishes. We waited over 25 minutes to get the table cleared and only after I stopped a waitperson and asked to get the table cleared. We ordered the basic burger which came cooked as ordered. The fries were hot. I would give the food a 3-4. The lack of service ruined the event. The wait staff did not care and we were bothering them. I would suggest that people spend their money at a place that cares about customers.
(2)Emily J.
I've since returned with my husband and a few friends. Completely different experience. We sat outside and were well tended. I even made a point to speak with the owner about our full experience and promised to update Yelp. Food was great and hospitality was even better. Will return.
(5)Kristin S.
I read some of the other reviews...For the bad reviewers, what part of DIVE BAR didn't you understand?! If that's not your thing and you are going to rip on them when that is clearly their niche, then stay away! The drinks are cheap, the live music is always good/entertaining on the weekends, and the service is always good. There is a decent dance floor, and ALWAYS great people watching.
(5)Marcy H.
I love the Tailgate! Fabulous owners, staff, food, & entertainment. Something for everyone because there's always something going on. Free poker with cash payouts 5 days a week, love the burger specials on Monday nights, dart league on Tues nights, karaoke/lady's night on Weds, live bands on the patio Thurs/Fridays & inside Friday/Saturday, 2 for 1 bloody marys & mimosas are perfect weekend mornings. The loyalty program is also wonderful... Get your tailgate card & earn money back for the money that you spend there. What?!?Sounds crazy, right? Really nice when your loyalty card covers your tab! Football season team drafts, plenty of TVs both inside and on the patio to catch your favorite games. I'm sure I'm missing some things because they really do try their best to have something for everyone! Truly a come as you are, never know who you're gonna meet kind of bar. Whether we are there with the kids, on alone time, or there as a couple we always have a great time. Have gotten to know so many wonderful people that also enjoy the Tailgate. It's not only our favorite place in town, it's become the only place we choose to hang out. :) Nothing but love for JJ & JK! Keep up the fabulous work!
(5)Michael B.
My Wife and I have enjoyed eating here 3 days a week and became "regulars". Tonight being Prime Rib night we thought we'd try it. Food is great, service too but, I guess Thursday is poker night,. This was not a problem for us until the hosts of the poker night asked us to move our table to make room for more poker players. We were shoved under the big screen in the corner, not comfortable at all. Them the poker guys moved chairs in so close my Wife and I could not move anywhere but out the door. That is a terrible way to treat your customers. My Wife spoke to the owner about this and we were not the only party pushed out, there were two other tables next to ours shoved out too. The owner was apologetic but, that didn't make the dining experience any better. We were so put off by this treatment we will never be back. In our businesses, we deal with hundreds of clients weekly. We will be sure to let everyone know about our experience and direct them elsewhere where having a good meal means something. Sad but, reality sucks.. We ALWAYS support local spots....this place will be removed from our dining list...bad, bad, bad!!!
(1)Chris M.
Breakfast/Brunch at the Tailgate has become part of our Sunday Morning ritual in Parker. You can head to the Farmers Market on Mainstreet any time from 8-1 and then head to the newly renovated and expanded patio that the Tailgate just installed compete with a firepit in the center. The food is plentiful and good, they have mimosa and bloody mary specials and you can bring your pooch along with you. It's part of life in the little Town of Parker now that we really enjoy.
(4)PattyAnn N.
I have always liked Tailgate although today came to meet a friend for drinks and football and got harassed by a guy selling Bronco homemade ornaments - really?!
(1)Carmen S.
Get this party started!! the band playing kicked butt!!! They rocked the house. Sorry I didn't get the name but had a great night out here! Danced and the food was great! My husband had steak and it was sooooo tasty. People were friendly and lively.
(4)Amanda F.
I would have given zero stars if possible. Terrible atmosphere and awful staff. My dad and I stood at the bar for 10min before the bartender even acknowledged us, and the place was dead! She was too busy taking to her drunk regulars. When she finally did ask us what we wanted to drink, I showed her TWO forms of valid ID; I just turned 21. My drivers license clearly states my birthday but still is vertical and says "Under 21", and you can't read my birthday with my military ID but I showed her anyway. And she refused to serve me because the tavern has been "stung" by local Parker PD for underage drinking... That's not my problem, that's their problem... And my dad was there to verify my age as well as my two forms of valid ID. I was so upset. This lady was worthless and the place sucked, so we just left.
(1)Tammy M.
Monday Night - $5.00 Burger or Chicken sandwich with a side of fries. You can't beat that price. We were there during Happy Hour so $2.50 pints of beer. REALLY? Our bill was $20.00.. Great deal & good food.. See you next Monday.. They have an awesome patio with T.V's & Fire pit - Too cold tonight but great for summer..
(4)Brian R.
I love hanging out at the Tailgate. Both owners are there pretty frequently and talk to everyone as friends. Most of the wait staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. The food is pretty good for a bar and the crowd is usually pretty fun. They have live music Friday and Saturday nights and those nights can be really fun depending on the band. $5 burger Monday's and a good happy hour. No complaints here!
(5)Scott C.
Tailgate is your average biker/rock type bar. I won't say there is anything really amazing about it, but it is super close to me. Good food. Ok service. Good drinks. They have live music on at least the weekends, and it gets really loud and rocking. Usually good bands, cover type stuff.
(3)Jimmy M.
My favorite place to eat Breakfast on the weekend is Tailgate Tavern! Sounds funny that a bar would be my choice for breakfast but they do a great job. Tailgate has a simple menu with plenty of choices(my favorite is the Daily with a side of sausage patty.) Everyone there is great from the Owners, managers, bartenders to the wait staff! Drink specials at breakfast include 2 for 1 screwdrivers and Blood Mary's. My wife and I also love the patio in the Summer, they have redone it and it is huge! Hope you all can have the experience we have had everytime we go!
(4)Thomas J.
Love this place! Should be called Cheers! Pam is the best she may be old school but she's got it going.
(5)Mike M.
The first time I went in here to check it out, a guy was buying shots (at 11 am) to celebrate his divorce. A true dive bar. Arguments over the use of chains on their trucks on I-70. A true dive bar. $5 burgers without any lettuce or tomato. A true dive bar. I love it!
(5)Kim C.
Can't comment on the food as we were never given the opportunity to order food or drinks. We were told to find our own table after standing by the door for 5 minutes and having several waitresses and a manager walked by us. We finally asked and were told "find your own table, but I don't know if you can". Okay, strike one. We did find a table and sat down. Someone came over and collected the check from the previous customer, cleaned the table and left without so much as a "someone will be with you shortly". Strike two. Several other waitresses and the man who told us to find the table walked by us and never asked if we wanted anything. Twice we said "excuse me" and they kept walking. Strike three. We left and went to Elk Mt. Brewery where we were welcomed and treated very well. We live in Parker and like to spend some of our entertainment money in Parker, but we will never try the Tailgate again.

The plate of goodies for the fajitas was very plentiful, not like chili's where you barley get enough cheese for one fajita. Everyone said their food was very good. The burgers looked good and the fries are on my list to try. The only complaint I would have was that the place was packed and only had one woman s stall but it is a small place, service could have been a little faster but like I said the place was packed. So all in all I will be back and soon. The food was above average, drinks were great and the entertainment was outstanding. There was a large variety of people, from younger people in their 20's, some cougars on the prowl, older couples dancing and everything in between.

We had lunch this past Saturday at this place and I thought the staff was okay, but seemed not the most friendly. They were not that busy, so I am not sure what had the mood a bit dour. However, the food was good in which you can get either a healthy dish or more traditional bar food. They have a good choice of beers and I saw guys playing poker with poker chips in the bar. Although, I am not sure if they were gambling for charity or for their own personal gain. It was interesting to see it in Parker, CO. and as far as I am concern people should be able to gamble in a bar if the owner wants it, but I am a more of a social libertarian on issues like that. Anyway, this is a good place to stop by for lunch or dinner in the bar or on the patio and they have live bands at this place, so go there for that too.

Love Sunday brunch on the patio, top three reasons: 1) I can take my boxer dog duo 2) Two-for-one bloody marys 3) Decent bar food with good service. We've been going to the Tailgate for almost 15 years and will continue to be fans for many more years to come!
(4)Sam H.
Food is pricey and sub par. The patio is an amazing place to enjoy a summer night with drinks! Service on the patio is also sub par though, thus the 2 star score.
(2)Rick W.
Very good food every time we've been there. Sometimes gets pretty crowded and that slows down the kitchen, but that's easy to deal with when they tell you that things are slower than normal. Go here. Eat good food.
(5)Jim A.
Great place..Lots of fun, excellent food. Best place in Parker! The owners are there all the time and very helpful.
(5)Shannon R.
Horrible service and food! I've given this place three attempts....first time had a snotty server that would walk away while talking to her. This last time same issue. The gravy on my chicken fried steak was so bad I couldn't eat it. It resembled a white paste and no flavor. The server asked if I wanted a box and I explained no thanks the food was not good. She grabbed my plate and walked away. I do not recommend this place.
(1)Brandon W.
If you're looking for a fine dining experience in Parker, this ain't your place. If you're looking for a local bar that serves lots of fried food and beer by the pitcher, you've found it. Nuff said?
(4)Keely G.
Decent food. I'm not sure my expectations are fair in this regard but I did expect it to be priced a little less than every other place in town, only because at the end of the day, this place is a bar/tavern. That's not the case but it's not a place that's going to break the bank. The place wasn't busy when we came in but it did take an exceptionally long time for us to get our food.
(3)Jakob E.
They have terrible staff. I was trying to closer out my tab and the bar tender for posed because I didn't know which one of them I opened the tab with. I couldn't hear because it was loud in there and my hearing it's damaged from gun fire (I'm a vet). She then had the bouncer come and kick me out..n tell nicE of her
(1)Sid B.
The service was horrible. When we arrived all the tables on the patio were occupied or full of dirty dishes. We waited over 25 minutes to get the table cleared and only after I stopped a waitperson and asked to get the table cleared. We ordered the basic burger which came cooked as ordered. The fries were hot. I would give the food a 3-4. The lack of service ruined the event. The wait staff did not care and we were bothering them. I would suggest that people spend their money at a place that cares about customers.
(2)Emily J.
I've since returned with my husband and a few friends. Completely different experience. We sat outside and were well tended. I even made a point to speak with the owner about our full experience and promised to update Yelp. Food was great and hospitality was even better. Will return.
(5)Marcy H.
I love the Tailgate! Fabulous owners, staff, food, & entertainment. Something for everyone because there's always something going on. Free poker with cash payouts 5 days a week, love the burger specials on Monday nights, dart league on Tues nights, karaoke/lady's night on Weds, live bands on the patio Thurs/Fridays & inside Friday/Saturday, 2 for 1 bloody marys & mimosas are perfect weekend mornings. The loyalty program is also wonderful... Get your tailgate card & earn money back for the money that you spend there. What?!?Sounds crazy, right? Really nice when your loyalty card covers your tab! Football season team drafts, plenty of TVs both inside and on the patio to catch your favorite games. I'm sure I'm missing some things because they really do try their best to have something for everyone! Truly a come as you are, never know who you're gonna meet kind of bar. Whether we are there with the kids, on alone time, or there as a couple we always have a great time. Have gotten to know so many wonderful people that also enjoy the Tailgate. It's not only our favorite place in town, it's become the only place we choose to hang out. :) Nothing but love for JJ & JK! Keep up the fabulous work!

My Wife and I have enjoyed eating here 3 days a week and became "regulars". Tonight being Prime Rib night we thought we'd try it. Food is great, service too but, I guess Thursday is poker night,. This was not a problem for us until the hosts of the poker night asked us to move our table to make room for more poker players. We were shoved under the big screen in the corner, not comfortable at all. Them the poker guys moved chairs in so close my Wife and I could not move anywhere but out the door. That is a terrible way to treat your customers. My Wife spoke to the owner about this and we were not the only party pushed out, there were two other tables next to ours shoved out too. The owner was apologetic but, that didn't make the dining experience any better. We were so put off by this treatment we will never be back. In our businesses, we deal with hundreds of clients weekly. We will be sure to let everyone know about our experience and direct them elsewhere where having a good meal means something. Sad but, reality sucks.. We ALWAYS support local spots....this place will be removed from our dining list...bad, bad, bad!!!
(1)Laurie T.
We have been to the Tailgate a few times, and the service is just terrible. They have some "has been" bartenders that do the worst job I've ever seen. I wonder if the owner knows that the heavy set, unfriendly guy behind the bar, and the older lady bartender spend most of their time drinking shots and being obnoxious. I would think it's hard to keep tabs straight, make sure all items are rung in the register, and handle money when you are trashed while working. I bet these bartenders make a lot of money because the place is busy, but the way they act is pathetic to watch. Monday night was our last attempt. The same big guy was behind the bar, getting hammered as usual. A great neighborhood bar still needs a little class. We will not be back..
(1)Barbara K.
A fun place with a nice variety of bar type food. Some good bands, and always busy and fun.
(4)Andrew M.
Whoever said the service here was good is crazy. On three separate occasions I received the worst service I have had in Parker. Not only that,, but the food is pretty iffy. There are too many other places in Parker with good food to put up with this.
(1)Bill D.
Been here a few times. Great food! Amazing owners! Lack luster staff. Attitude is everything. Burger deal on mondays cant be beat! Breakfast is amazing. 80's cover bands a little bit weak. Bring back karaoke, damn that was a blast. I see why its always packed.....have you been to bars in Parker? Will be back!
(4)Dale Z.
I felt I needed to write an update for Tailgate Tavern. The reason for this is that whereas before I had pretty much only come here for the bar aspects, I recently came here for the restaurant offerings. I had seen some local Yelpers commenting on the breakfasts, and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. For about $10 bucks I was able to enjoy a full breakfast, as well as two bloody mary's. The bloody mary's are 2 for 1 during breakfast hours. They are pretty average in size and composition. But, they had some nice heat, good flavor, and they packed a wallop. My eggs were cooked exactly as I requested, the bacon was rather nice, and the link sausage was quite good. My dining companion enjoyed his french toast and coffee as well. The breakfast menu is pretty extensive, and this is nice change of pace from the chains. I also dropped by for lunch. I went ahead and had a steak with salad and veggies. It was about the same price as what I would have paid at Outback. The steak was cooked just as I requested, and was a decent cut of meat. The salad was pretty basic, but was about twice the size of what you might expect for a side salad. The winter veggies were okay, if not exciting. My friend had a burger and jalapeno mashed potatoes, and gobbled them down pretty quickly, without complaint. So, this is still food served in a dive bar. But, early in the day, the place is not crowded, has been recently cleaned, and is a very different experience than what you would find on a Friday or Saturday night.
(3)Megan F.
They are packed on Friday/Saturday night. It is hard to get to the bar to order a drink. I love the live music! The staff was friendly, we even chatted with one of the security guards momentarily and got some history about the place. The food was good for your average "bar food".
(5)Laura W.
We love Tailgate. Aside from being walking distance to it, we love the staff, the food, the patio! We feel very at home here. The only thing that is weird is the night crowd that comes into the bar, but they can't help who the crowd is. Monday is $5 burgers ALL DAY! Tuesday is Taco Tuesday and all Mexican meals are a percentage off, Wednesday wings are discounted, Thursday is prime rib night which it's excellent, and now Friday they do fish fry!!! Sat and Sun mornings they have breakfast with BOGO free mimosas. Their wings are delic, their salads are awesome, and the beers are cold. :) Happy Hour is till 7!!! Which is amazing!
(5)Abe M.
Stopped by on Sunday afternoon for a drink on the patio. The place was fairly busy with people enjoying a warm, sunny afternoon. It's conveniently located in downtown Parker. The crowd was older and mostly comprised of locals, a hand full of bikers, and what appeared to be some "leftovers" from the night before. We ordered a couple drinks, which were reasonably priced during happy hour, and chips/salsa and a pretzel. Both appetizers were okay, but only because I could wash them down with a beer. Maybe I'm becoming a snob, but this was not the bar for me. It reminded me of the local hole in the wall I haunted during college, "the Slurp and Burp." Those days are long gone, and there is no need to "re-live" days past. Parker needs a more upscale bat that serves more than two types of wine (house red and white). My search continues...
(2)Amy W.
this was the absolutely worst breakfast ever! The gravy was horrible with no sausage and no flavor plus the bacon that was supposed to be thick applewood was paper thin and under cooked. You would have to have a hangover or no tastbuds to eat here!
(1)Darin B.
Went for lunch, bar smelt like piss and had fruit flies all over. Took forever to get service and they messed up our order. Needed condiments it was like you needed a act of God to get service. Food sucked was not good at all. Will never go back to this place. I don't even know how they stay in business.
(1)Kelly M.
Love the $5 Monday night Burger deal. Angry Vegan pizza.
(4)Eliana B.
If you want to be shoved under a TV while you are having dinner and are a regular customer, then by all means go to this establishment and eat. We are regulars, we do enjoy going there and the food is good and the servers are always pleasant...however tonight was the F BOMB and as I said to the owner bad news travels fast...this was the worst ever and I feel bad for others who were treated the same or worse who may not be vocal...you pushed us to make room for Poker Tables...really...hope we all come back? NOT!
(1)Wayne A.
Cool place in Parker to watch a game or catch some live music in the evenings. They have a great outdoor area with lots of tables. Good bar food. The breakfast is really good!
(5)Cassandra K.
It's an absolute dive bar, but fun on the weekends when there is GOOD live music. When it's bad, skip it. It's definitely a biker bar on the weekends too....so stay away if you don't like that. There are only 2 pool tables and the dart boards don't work. Like I said, it's a dive bar, but Parker doesn't have a lot of choices as far as bars are concerned.
(3)Kendra R.
If you visit this place after 8pm you're asking for a surprise. Not a pleasant surprise. Perhaps since it was summer or because I stooped by between Thurs - Sat, but it was gross. Smelled of beer, the toilets overflowing, and vomit on the floor. Yes vomit. Lots of just 21ers giggling as if they were still in HS. Yea no thanks.
(1)Nicholle D.
The best Happy Hour and just in case you didn't know what time it is... its noon some where so meet me here and I buy the first one.
(4)Jennifer D.
I like this dive bar! It totally depends which night you go for it to be busy. But if its a night you just want to spend quality time with your friends, Tailgate is the place. My girlfriends and I love to come here for the entertainment....if you are up for a good laugh come here! AWESOME buffalo wings, the 'Hurt me Bad' wings are amazing. Mmmm yes they know how to do wings. Wednesday is ladies night, and I have had many blurrs from ladies night. ugh! Infact , I am nursing a hangover from the tailgate right now..........
(4)Cass D.
Was there before the latest remodel, still there after. Used to go all the time for Karoake with Avery. They've tried to modernize, put in some tv's and re-did the bathrooms. Pretty steady customer base, service is okay. Can't speak to the grossness of the place, it's never smelled funny or been exceptionally dirty when I've gone. (It's still a BAR) Haven't tried the food. Cheap drinks!
(4)David H.
This is a dive bar, but a VERY BIG dive bar. Was here last Thursday and the cover band was awesome. That singer had a great voice. Didn't have to wait for a pool table, cheap drinks, and FREE TRIVIA!!
(4)Brew D.
This place is a joke! What a dive! There is absolutely no management. While there are several very hard-working people here, you will never see Laura step up to the plate to help out. Try getting a drink when she is working. Good Luck! Even if you get there to get a table early for a game or the band, she will often come around and drop a "Reserved" sign on your table and kick you out for her friends. I've often seen her just sit there with her friends, drinking, while her staff scrambles around shorthanded. Food is just okay. Alyssa, Beth, Kendall and Katie are all great and hard working. So are Pam, Leslie and Soman. Wish they had the management support to make the place better. Glad to see Steve gone, he was never there anyways. To John, the new owner, change your manager and I bet you will see a huge increase in your patrons and returns. Also, as a side note, get rid of the Monday Night "Kids Eat Free" sign. Nothing says responsibility like bringing your kids down to the local bar so they can get their faces painted and balloon animals while you have some drinks and then drive them home.
(1)Brian L.
Go for the live bands as most are quite entertaining! Wait staff was limited at best and not the most attentive. We went for "Da Funk" and to dance and the band and the dance floor delivered. I recommend to eat elsewhere before you arive; otherwise simple fried bar food is what you will find.
(3)K E.
How can you not like this place? Decent bar food, low prices and a good daily happy hour with reasonable prices. it is also family friendly.
(4)Natasha E.
Breakfast on Tuesday morning with Yvonne is always the best! Great company, fun conversations with the regulars. On the weekdays the breakfast is limited but go for the hashbrowns or breakfast burrito. Weekends there's a full breakfast menu that you can't miss.
(5)Chris M.
Breakfast/Brunch at the Tailgate has become part of our Sunday Morning ritual in Parker. You can head to the Farmers Market on Mainstreet any time from 8-1 and then head to the newly renovated and expanded patio that the Tailgate just installed compete with a firepit in the center. The food is plentiful and good, they have mimosa and bloody mary specials and you can bring your pooch along with you. It's part of life in the little Town of Parker now that we really enjoy.
(4)PattyAnn N.
I have always liked Tailgate although today came to meet a friend for drinks and football and got harassed by a guy selling Bronco homemade ornaments - really?!
(1)Carmen S.
Get this party started!! the band playing kicked butt!!! They rocked the house. Sorry I didn't get the name but had a great night out here! Danced and the food was great! My husband had steak and it was sooooo tasty. People were friendly and lively.
(4)Kristin S.
I read some of the other reviews...For the bad reviewers, what part of DIVE BAR didn't you understand?! If that's not your thing and you are going to rip on them when that is clearly their niche, then stay away! The drinks are cheap, the live music is always good/entertaining on the weekends, and the service is always good. There is a decent dance floor, and ALWAYS great people watching.
(5)Amanda F.
I would have given zero stars if possible. Terrible atmosphere and awful staff. My dad and I stood at the bar for 10min before the bartender even acknowledged us, and the place was dead! She was too busy taking to her drunk regulars. When she finally did ask us what we wanted to drink, I showed her TWO forms of valid ID; I just turned 21. My drivers license clearly states my birthday but still is vertical and says "Under 21", and you can't read my birthday with my military ID but I showed her anyway. And she refused to serve me because the tavern has been "stung" by local Parker PD for underage drinking... That's not my problem, that's their problem... And my dad was there to verify my age as well as my two forms of valid ID. I was so upset. This lady was worthless and the place sucked, so we just left.
(1)Tammy M.
Monday Night - $5.00 Burger or Chicken sandwich with a side of fries. You can't beat that price. We were there during Happy Hour so $2.50 pints of beer. REALLY? Our bill was $20.00.. Great deal & good food.. See you next Monday.. They have an awesome patio with T.V's & Fire pit - Too cold tonight but great for summer..
(4)Brian R.
I love hanging out at the Tailgate. Both owners are there pretty frequently and talk to everyone as friends. Most of the wait staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. The food is pretty good for a bar and the crowd is usually pretty fun. They have live music Friday and Saturday nights and those nights can be really fun depending on the band. $5 burger Monday's and a good happy hour. No complaints here!
(5)Scott C.
Tailgate is your average biker/rock type bar. I won't say there is anything really amazing about it, but it is super close to me. Good food. Ok service. Good drinks. They have live music on at least the weekends, and it gets really loud and rocking. Usually good bands, cover type stuff.
(3)Jimmy M.
My favorite place to eat Breakfast on the weekend is Tailgate Tavern! Sounds funny that a bar would be my choice for breakfast but they do a great job. Tailgate has a simple menu with plenty of choices(my favorite is the Daily with a side of sausage patty.) Everyone there is great from the Owners, managers, bartenders to the wait staff! Drink specials at breakfast include 2 for 1 screwdrivers and Blood Mary's. My wife and I also love the patio in the Summer, they have redone it and it is huge! Hope you all can have the experience we have had everytime we go!
(4)Thomas J.
Love this place! Should be called Cheers! Pam is the best she may be old school but she's got it going.
(5)Mike M.
The first time I went in here to check it out, a guy was buying shots (at 11 am) to celebrate his divorce. A true dive bar. Arguments over the use of chains on their trucks on I-70. A true dive bar. $5 burgers without any lettuce or tomato. A true dive bar. I love it!
(5)Kim C.
Can't comment on the food as we were never given the opportunity to order food or drinks. We were told to find our own table after standing by the door for 5 minutes and having several waitresses and a manager walked by us. We finally asked and were told "find your own table, but I don't know if you can". Okay, strike one. We did find a table and sat down. Someone came over and collected the check from the previous customer, cleaned the table and left without so much as a "someone will be with you shortly". Strike two. Several other waitresses and the man who told us to find the table walked by us and never asked if we wanted anything. Twice we said "excuse me" and they kept walking. Strike three. We left and went to Elk Mt. Brewery where we were welcomed and treated very well. We live in Parker and like to spend some of our entertainment money in Parker, but we will never try the Tailgate again.
(1)Chris G.
The Tailgate Tavern is ok. It's a good place if you have a biker gang and would like to get some drinks, and they do get pretty busy on the weekends, but it's not going to blow you away by any means. Their drink specials are good, the food is pretty good, and the service is decent. It's been good at times, other times the service is non-existent. We tried to watch some NFL there last fall, and we left after sitting there for 20 minutes waiting for a waitress to even acknowledge us. If you're looking for a dive bar with decent drink specials, the Tailgate will suffice, just keep your expectations low and you'll be happy.
(3)Joe D.
It's grown on me. People there are nice, the booze is affordable and the patio is awesome.
(4)Heather C.
Went here last night. The female bar tender was really nice & put up with our lack of shot knowledge. She made us a killer shot. Everyone who was there (about 15-20) was over 35 which kinda sux when your in your early to late 20's. Looked like it could get pretty busy since there was a lot of space & a stage. I might go back during the day or a real weekend night
(2)J G.
It's filthy, ugly inside, food has been getting worse every time we go there. Don't waste your time there.
(1)Mary G.
always good food no matter what time of day and great service always, even when it is crowded!

I went in for lunch and had the chicken burrito. It was fair. I wasn't crazy about the rice or what tasted like prepackaged chicken instead of a freshly cooked/grilled version. The Guac was good on it and the portion was large. They did have a beef on weck which looked interesting and I might go back and give that a try for curiosities sake.
(2)Rosie M.
horrible service! seriously. went on a wednesday night so it wasn't even busy and still received bad service. can't believe this place even stays open.
(1)Jill S.
So, I came here on a date, and ended up having a really great time even though it's not anything near romantic. Yes, it's a total dive, dirty with lots of burly dudes, but the waitress was so sweet and there was a jukebox to take over. There are about a million TVs which was a bit of a downer, but regardless, a good local dive with good local people.
(4)Barbara S.
Went here last night with my Parker-based friend and this is her fav spot. Her favorite band was playing and we had a ball dancing. The dance floor was packed. Wish I could remember the band's name, but "Special Ed" did a bang up cover of Alanis Morrissette. I guess it's a dive - pretty big one as someone else said and very light and bright. The bathroom was clean and no line. The wine glass was so big I only had one and I didn't see the tab. It spills out onto their Mainstreet (one word - don't ask) and seems to be the happening scene. Big smoky patio. Various age range, but seemed to have an influx of 20 somethings towards midnight.
(3)Kimberly P.
Our first trip in Parker on Main Street and went in for lunch. It was a Sat. afternoon it was unclear where to sit. Service was very slow, but food was good. It is a sports bar so it's loud. Prices were reasoniable.
(3)Meredith J.
This bar was ok, but kinda lame on a Wednesday night. The highlight of our night was the really drunk guy knocking over a barstool, if that tells you anything. The BOGO happy hour specials were a nice surprise, but the service wasn't fabulous. The staff kept hugging each other, which we thought was weird.
(2)Shiho F.
Stopped by the Tailgate for a quick cocktail before dining at Indochine. It was pretty packed and I got to enjoy a Courvoisier Sidecar at this clean but divy bar. My sidecar and a draft was only 7 bucks. Good times.

Nothing says responsibility like bringing your kids down to the local bar so they can get their faces painted and balloon animals while you have some drinks and then drive them home.

I like this dive bar! It totally depends which night you go for it to be busy. But if its a night you just want to spend quality time with your friends, Tailgate is the place. My girlfriends and I love to come here for the entertainment....if you are up for a good laugh come here! AWESOME buffalo wings, the 'Hurt me Bad' wings are amazing. Mmmm yes they know how to do wings. Wednesday is ladies night, and I have had many blurrs from ladies night. ugh! Infact , I am nursing a hangover from the tailgate right now..........

Stopped by the Tailgate for a quick cocktail before dining at Indochine. It was pretty packed and I got to enjoy a Courvoisier Sidecar at this clean but divy bar. My sidecar and a draft was only 7 bucks. Good times.
