Cedar Creek Pub

I have visited Cedar Creek Pub four times now. My first two visits weren’t really all that great. The drinks and food were good but the service left a lot to be desired. The bartender seemed irritated with our presence both times so we hurried through our drinks and meals and scooted on out of there.
But my view is now a changing! The last two times I have gone the bartender Stephanie has helped us. Both times she was super friendly, engaging and seemed to be enjoying her job. Bravo on making Stephanie a part of your team! She has made us want to return to our neighborhood pub!
They have a rotating tap selection which is usually packed with good local beers, including some from Coda which is right across the street.
Food wise I would have to say that the quesadillas and pierogies are my favorite. I’ve tried a couple of the sandwiches and have always been pleased though they didn’t really EAT ME AGAIN! The only thing on the menu I have encountered that I didn’t really enjoy were the wings. I will admit to being a wing snob and that’s probably why I wasn’t a fan.
Keep in mind that the kitchen closes at 9 and the establishment closes shortly thereafter so you’ll want to get there early!

This place has only a couple things going for it. One is the location close to the hospital and the apartments, the other is the beer selection. The food is of middling quality on the best day. The menu is plain and unimaginative and to top it off, the price is not fair for the quality offered. That being said, it is clean and the atmosphere is safe.

They are always very friendly and make an effort to know your face. I typically call in orders and walk down to pick them up. The food is always ready within 10 mins or less! The vibe is always laid back with plenty of TVs going. You won’t be disappointed. The burgers are likely premade, but they are very high quality for a pub. The Hawaiian chicken platter is very good with large portions to save some for later. This may be my go to place when MotoGp season starts up again in the Spring! I just have to get them to put the race on at least ONE TV. :-)

I don’t have much to say. We wound up here because the place we were targeting ended up being in the hospital (not going to eat there!). This place is … meh. It has a menu, serves beer, etc. etc. but nothing jumps out. It reminds me of the chain of Wyncoop’s or Walnut Brewery, or whatever. They give it a different name, but you swear you’ve been there and done that already. Just another copy cat restaurant. We’ve got too many of them. the food was okay. Nothing great, nothing bad. Service was fine. People were nice. I wouldn’t call it an experience to remember though. I actually had to find this place again to review it because I forgot the name. I do remember feeling like the prices were a bit high for run of the mill food and ingredients.

I have been here five or six times. The food is good — better selection and a bit more creative than your average pub or bar and it’s executed well. Atmosphere is inviting, comfortable without being claustrophobic. Service is excellent. Is it a bit pricey? Maybe but it is an oasis in this part of town and also has the captive medical/​apartment market there. I recommend a visit.

Great place super nice staff. Good collection of beers and a nice drink menu. The pretzels and pirogies are delicious! Fun place to hang out with friends. Always a good lunch and happy hour crowd. Large group of health care professionals a lot of the time! Every one should take time to check it out! Especially in trivia night!

Great food, drinks, and service! We were originally seated next to a rowdy table and the bartender was kind enough to seat us elsewhere. Will definitely be back :)

No flavor — fish tacos were horrible.
Elk burger might have been a frozen patty from McDonald’s
Sweet potato fries were the only redeeming thing.
The pretzels were pretty good.
Just don’t order dinner.

This is a nice pub for the community. They have good bar food and a nice selection of Colorado beer. The service is always quick and the staff is usually friendly.
Although I enjoy this place I have 2 complaints. 1) sometimes I feel like the I’m bothering the staff when I ask for something and 2) the food is a little too salty.

The food here is absolutely wonderful! The staff are friendly and prompt! Parking can be a bit of an issue, and the establishment closes early, but I’ve genuinely enjoyed each experience I’ve had here.

Impressive rotation of draft beers, a very good selection of bottled and canned, as well as a respectable food menu with daily specials.
I’ve been here several times this year since finding this pub while exploring the neighborhood, and each time has been a good experience.
I’ve tried the fish and chips, pub pretzels, wings hot, and elk burger; all well prepared and exactly what I expect of a quality kitchen. Nothing was greasy, or under/​over cooked. I’ve also taken my wife and friends here in a group of five, and we had no trouble getting service or drinks.
In particular I went here on St. Patricks day, and found that for a pub they had a comfortable sized crowd, as well as a real rarity on tap; Deschutes the Abyss. The very fact that the owner was willing to put it on tap for the holiday makes it a really special place in my book.
This is a great pub, with really well prepared food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. Don’t expect to pay dive bar prices, because quality food and quality drinks are not cheap, but also you can expect to avoid the drunken Friday night crowds while still having a great selection for dinner and drinks.

This place is conveniently located right below my apartment so it’s where I go when I am way too lazy to cook and way too lazy to drive somewhere to get food or it’s a school function located here. So that means I don’t really come too often and this definitely wouldn’t be my top choice of restaurant if I am hungry. It basically has monopoly over the whole area and I think people eat here largely for convenience sake. The food is mediocre and there aren’t a huge variety of choices. They are definitely lacking in the vegetarian department (speaking on behalf of my veggie friends). Everything is also slightly over priced but they do give large portions to make up for it. There is ample seating throughout the pub and it’s generally kept well cleaned. The owner helps out with donations for various school clubs if you ask well ahead of time so students really appreciate that.
They have a nice beer selection as well but I’ve had more food there than beer. The quesidillas are pretty good. Even though they are under the appetizer section, the portion is enough for a meal. The san juan burger is massive and it comes with fries and usually lasts me two meals. The gemini is pretty good as well. I have also tried the BLT sandwich which comes with whole wheat bread and very crispy bacon and a ton of fries. I was so stuffed, i didn’t even finish the fries. As you can see, it’s your basic bar foods but the menu is pretty small in comparison to other bars. I hope they expand the menu and make the prices cheaper. It’s not ok to be so expensive just because of lack of competition. Or I hope more restaurants open up within walking distance of fitz.

Fair warning: PARKING IS TERRIBLE. Like, non-​existent. I mean really, there are about 30 public parking spaces for the entire complex which is a ton of residences. It’s a really sad parking situation so best of luck to ya. Granted, this might not be CCP’s doing but it still affects the business.
I will say that our server was GREAT! She was efficient and polite and took great care of us. I was very surprised by the quickness of the crew. All of the employees were really nice and they were workin’ hard.
Personally, I just wasn’t a fan of the location or the atmosphere. It seemed like a bunch of hoity-​toity clientele who were snooty and snotty. Sure, it’s situated next to a golf course but this ain’t Bushwood (insert Caddyshack reference here).
The menu seemed a bit pretentious. Most items were crazy expensive for a pub. I had a burger that was ok, not great. For $ 15 I expected more. I hear the garlic parmesan chicken wings are good but I didn’t get the chance to try them.
Would I go back? Sure, but I would walk so that I don’t have to deal with parking and I would go at non-​busy time. I’m willing to give it another shot but the first experience was totally meh.

–One star because of its location since it’s close to my campus and apartment.
–One star because they have decent beer selections.
The service is a bit slow even when it isn’t busy. It’s a hit or miss really. The food here, honestly, is bar food. Nothing special. I hate how it sounds good on the menu but is actually ‘meh’ when it comes out. Some of the apps are alright though, don’t get me wrong. Your fries, pretzels, even fish tacos are good to munch and share with friends, especially after killing or being killed by exams haha.

Not too impressed with this place. I came here with some girlfriends after a class at the Anshultz Wellness Center and it’s mediocre at best. Unimaginative menu and when I was looking for a salad, I wasn’t too wowed with what they offer (and especially for the price they charge – woof!) I got the Buffalo Chicken Salad along with some tweaks (no tortilla strips or tomatoes) and they left off the cheese so it was an unappetizing buffalo chicken strips, lettuce and dressing. Our server wasn’t too friendly so I didn’t want to inconvenience her about the order she got wrong. I’m still pissed off about spending $ 12 on that salad, I would pass on this place.

I met friends who work @ the CU Med center here. Good food and drink. The place was absolutely packed for lunch. Good place, I’m sure I will be here many more times.

We wandered in here the night before Christmas Eve for dinner and drinks. We grabbed seat at the bar and were immediately greeted by a bartender who did not want us there. That cost this review a star.
They have a small but good tap list, and a very good whisky list. We ordered a couple of beers and filed away the whisky for future reference.
After perusing the menu, we went with the pierogi, dry rub wings. and the Gemini sandwich. Being of Czech descent, I was thrilled to see the former on the menu. They made a good sour cream habanero sauce to accompany it. The dry rub wings really didn’t impress us, we found them a little flat. The sandwich I would gladly return for.
Overall I feel the menu has much potential and I can’t wait to sample more. And I love the beers they offer.
The downside… That bartender hated us. He really made us feel unwelcome and I noticed that he treated others the same way. I’ll come back but I’ll sit in a servers section if he’s working.

3.5 stars.
They have a decent selection of beers here most notable a few coda beers, a few southern california brews (ballast point, bruery), coors, and a few others.
As for the food, I got to try:
Bourbon Pub steak: Not a bad entrée. At $ 14, this is a nice little dinner to satisfy the stomach. The mash potatoes were good and the brocolli added some greens to the plate. Ask for more of their bourbon sauce to compliment your steak. (I ordered medium rare and it was cooked medium).
Elk Burger: While the sweet potato fries that came with the burger were perfect, the elk burger itself was just okay. The patty was quite thin and didn’t have a lot of juice to it. Just an okay burger. (I ordered medium rare and it was pretty cooked).
While visiting the restaurant itself isn’t out of the question, I’d actually prefer to chill at Coda Brewing and do a phone-​order from there. That way you get to enjoy the entire selection of Coda while munching on a few bites. Otherwise, if a game is on, Cedar creek isn’t a bad place to spend your evening.

I’m a student at the medical campus and come here on occasion with my classmates after big exams and such! It’s a good restaurant, especially compared to most around the area in terms of atmosphere.
The food is really good! I am a big fan of the chicken quesadilla and buffalo chicken salad. It’s a tad pricy but I guess that’s what you get when there’s little competition for the wallets of the staff and students of a huge medical campus. The service is VERY hit or miss. There are a few servers that seem to be perpetually in a bad mood– but other than that, the owner and other servers are great.
They have a KILLER selection of eclectic draft beer from all over the United States. Every time I go here, they have multiple beers that I’ve never heard of before which is neat.
They host trivia nights on a weekly basis, and the lady that leads them is amazing.
They have happy hour from 3−6pm daily, but the discount isn’t anything to get excited about. I’ve had many conversations with classmates about how much more often we would come to this place after school if they had a good happy hour with «cheap beers» like PBR/​Coors for a couple of bucks, but I guess that’s not the managements cup of tea. I think there’s a ton of untapped potential since they’re attached to an apartment complex FULL of students. I know for a fact my friends and I would be weekend regulars if there was some sort of late night happy hour with heavily discounted «cheap beer» or food.
Overall, I highly recommend this place if you’re in Aurora and want to grab a beer/​bite to eat!

I go to Cedar Creek allll the time! I’m a student on the Anschutz campus, and when I can only afford an hour or so to eat, I head there. The San Juan burger is delicious, as is their Elk burgers. Their fries are on the greasy side, but good nonetheless.
Service has never been something to brag about, although I haven’t had too many bad experiences.
It’s a great place to grab a beer on happy hour ($ 1 off drafts!) after school/​work, and they have an outdoor patio for when the weather is nice.
