The Bull and Bush

Glendale, Colorado has one great restaurant, The Bull and Bush. Founded in 1971, the restaurant sits across from the Cherry Creek trail near the intersection of Cherry Creek S Dr and Cherry St. The exterior is made of white stucco and wood beams intentionally bringing to mind a stand alone English pub that one might see in any countryside town in the UK. Actually, according to the restaurant’s website, the pub is designed after a pub in Hampstead Heath, a north London park and suburb. The interior feels reasonably British too, with a few American flourishes like a ton of TVs and a small display of merchandise from t-shirts to shot glasses. It's dark inside with comfy chairs and live music on Sundays.

Despite its fame, the place still feels local. I go to the Bull and Bush for its beer (brewed on site), the food (amazing burgers and a great brunch), and the atmosphere (good service and from my experience, nice customers). It also doesn't hurt that I'm within walking distance either, but if I lived across town it would still be one of my favorite stops. I tend to get the Queen Mother burger and the Allgood Ale for starters, but they have great nachos and brunch specials. Actually, they have specials everyday. Like on Wednesdays, a burger order gets you a free pint. On Sundays you can get a double bloody mary for $4.50.   

This won’t be the only time I blog about the Bull and Bush. I am bound to go several times this year, so I’ll stop now. But this food lover highly recommends the place. It’s good and unapologetically greasy food and a great atmosphere. You’ll love it.
