Izakaya Den is Denver’s popular Japanese gastropub, modeled after the lively after hours establishments found throughout Japan. The restaurant is located on South Pearl Street and is the second restaurant of the Kizaki brothers, founders and owners of Sushi Den.



The menu is arranged in a tapas style, serving traditional Japanese small plates along with dishes infused with international flavors and textures. The more traditional Japanese offerings include sashimi and nigiri, sourced from daily fish shipments from around the globe, along with dumplings and noodle dishes. The global cuisine experiments with a bevy of different flavors including unique items such as Grilled Panzanella Salad (jumbo lump crab, toasted focaccia, local goat cheese, pistachios, plum wine vinaigrette), Kobe Beef Sliders (seared foie gras, pomme frittes). A gluten-free menu is also available along with a popular weekday happy hour from 5 to 6:30 pm.

    The service was extremely slow and unorganized. We ended up stacking our dishes to the side as they had been sitting for well over 15 minutes. The food was average at best which hasn’t typically been our experience at Izakaya or Sushi Den. Definitely felt like C level service on a Tuesday.

    Always a great experience! However, did not realize until we’re there that Izakaya Den recently integrated with Sushi Den. Still great sushi and atmosphere for celebrating a birthday! Thank you.

    Another outstanding diner at Izakaya Den! We again let our server pick for us and he did a great job with 2 Sashimi plates, a roll and some nigiri. And he accommodated my Gluten Free needs perfectly! We love this place!

    Reservation was timely. Service was fine but food was extremely uneven in delivery without any comments from server. One meal 25 minutes later than others without any apologies or offers to refund the entree. Food was very good overall. Restaurant is pretty loud, even at the “quieter” tables. Drinks expensive and bill on much higher side of Denver average.
