Review of The Brutal Poodle

Don't let the asthetics of this place fool you. I would never think to go to a punk rock bar to find excellent food (especially gluten free) and great service, but The Brutal Poodle had both. Server told us most menu items can be made gluten free. He recommended the chicken and waffles, and while that wasn't a dish I typically ordered even when I ate gluten, I went for it. Wow, so good! The waffle was light and crispy and amazing. Perfect blend of savory and sweet. And the chicken was delicious. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich and sweet potato fries. While the gf bun was typical, the juiciness of the meat covered up the dry bun.

I really couldn't recommend this place more. We were just visiting Denver, but next time we're in town, I'm definitely going back.
