About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Great for creative cocktails

Housed in a former mortuary, the decor layers macabre remnants with posh details in a window-flanked space overlooking the charming Lower Highland neighborhood. The drink menu features sips and seasonings as savory as the dishes with which they're paired. While the rooftop patio-outfitted with 1975 GMC RV as bar and repurposed food truck as kitchen- beckons patrons towards adventure.

We had the menu for Restaurant Week. The starters and deserts were good. The entrees were disappointing. Dry and flavorless. Wines were overpriced, like most places. The building and views are wonderful. I am not likely to try dining again but the rooftop looks like a great place in summer.

Very bad. It was restaurant week and so you'd think it would be really satisfying but it was not. The bun was the best thing but they were not even warm. The shrimp lettuce wraps were mediocre but not much shrimp! We sent the wine back because it was awful. The desert was some crème and plantings - I didn't eat mine. My son had tiramisu it was good. Overall I don't plan to spend my money there again.

We had a fantastic time at Linger. The vibe is cool but not pretentious. We were seated promptly and almost immediately greeted by our server, Olivia, who was so attentive and really took care of us. They even had a birthday card signed by the staff waiting at our table. We ordered the Resting Place and the house frozen cocktail and they were delicious. For dinner I highly recommend the Char Siu Pork Belly Bao, Devil’s on Horseback and the Wagyu Sliders. I have a severe onion allergy and Olivia worked with the chef and I to make sure I could enjoy all the tasty dishes (some with modifications). The birthday girl was treated to some creamy and delicious chocolate mousse and we had cappuccinos and the Italian donuts for dessert. Perfection. It was an incredible experience.

Was visiting Denver for the weekend and picked Linger to dine at from some TikTok’s I saw that hyped up the theme and vibe of the restaurant. It did not disappoint, in addition to that the food and service were great. They gave wine suggestions for our meal and let us sampled before which is always appreciated. Would recommend to anyone going to Denver!
