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.

Great food and amazing atmosphere! Sat upstairs next to the windows and thoroughly enjoyed our night. Only downside is the music was so loud and nothing to soak up the high noise so it was kind of hard to converse almost felt like I was yelling to talk to my partner that night. Overall though was a good spot for date night.

Linger is an interesting restaurant. We went because of our interest in the history of the mortuary and the transformation into a restaurant. There really wasn’t much information about the past of building or the business. We were disappointed. The food was good but not for the typical non-foodie just looking for a good meal. The waitress was outstanding. Very attentive and helpful and gave us some minimal information about the past. It was good for a one time visit to check off the bucket list.

Food was all burned and way over priced! 18 dollars for two small pieces of burned bison skewers with nothing else served with it that was chewy as a rawhide. Fun atmosphere but definitely won’t be eating there again.

Food and atmosphere was great! Service was decent. They dont allow you to do endless mimosas with OJ on the side for brunch which is a little disappointing. Its all pre-mixed already. Other than that it was a good experience!

We ordered from the Denver Restaurant Week menu and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was great. Parking was a little challenging and we had to pay but a nice restaurant to celebrate an event. We were celebrating a birthday.

Disappointed the restaurant week menu is only available during dinner. We booked a 12:45 reservation but were told only the brunch menu was available. They should post online that it had limited hours. I didn’t find much on the brunch menu that looked good. I wouldn’t have wasted my restaurant week pick on this restaurant when there are so many good options in the neighborhood.

We had a lovely brunch experience. A few of my friends were a bit late and our server (blonde girly-wish we remembered her name!) was very patient, on point, kind and great. She answered every question and offer inside on all the brunch food. Great experience!
