Bao Brewhouse is a multi-concept restaurant, the first floor is known as the Tap Room, in which you will find service via QR codes, WALK-IN'S ONLY, Chinese street food inspired fare and a local rotating draft list.
The second floor is known as our Tea Room, there you will find a more traditional dining experience with a twist. The Tea Room menu and ambiance lend to more curated and intimate affair, with a vast tea selection ranging from herbal to puer, a thoughtfully selected wine list with a tea-centric cocktail program to satisfy even the most adventurous of palates. The Tea room has a DJ every Tuesday, Thursday - Saturday giving the room a not-so-stuffy feeling.

**Please note** Bao Brewhouse holds two separate flights of stairs to enter each of the two dining rooms. The building does NOT have an elevator. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    My wife and I tried Bao Brewhouse’s upstairs Tea Room for dinner on a trip to Denver. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend!

    This was our first time at Bao and we ate in the Tea Room upstairs. It was very busy and the ambiance was fun with the red lighting and music (too loud to hear alot of our conversations). The food was delicious and our server Kaleb was very helpful in guiding us through the menu. We enjoyed all our different courses and the variety of flavors and textures from their menu. Definitely a place we will return to again for a fun casual night of dining!!

    We were 2 and sat at a table in a little alcove. Perfect. My son has to eat GF food and they have a fabulous paper menu showing exactly what it GF. He was so pleased! Service was excellent. We have great cocktails and I had a good red wine. We had the Empress Noodles (lots of veggies and we added chicken, a whole meal) Prawn skewers, super good and tasty dipping sauce. I had the pork bao buns..because Bao. All was good. Came quickly. Music is ED and is slightly loud if you are trying to talk. love the location, close to DCPA and Ball arena.

    We dined just after the theatre. Everything was excellent, with the short rib bao and the Peking duck being particularly good. Our server helped us order just the right amount of food.

    Everyone in our group enjoyed our experience at Bao Brewhouse. I was complimented several times later in the evening about the great choice of restaurant. The food was delicious; sauces are amazing! What a great place to go before the theater! Thank you!
