About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
“One of Colorado's 10 most iconic, historic restaurants and a Must Eat” Denver Post, July 2018
Please join us at 740 Front in Historic Downtown Louisville. Designated historical, 740 is one of Colorado's two oldest remaining saloons; transformed back to its 1904 roots; a traditional American dining saloon with a turn of the century ambiance featuring a magnificent room dominating bar, built in 1880 by the Brunswick Company,. The copper spit trough, once equipped with running water, still exists at the front of the bar. Louisville, notorious for its drinking, gambling, and illegal activities, evidence of the occasional misunderstanding is the .22 caliber bullet hole in the front bar.
The bar offers a selection of craft beers, wines,  handcrafted cocktails and an extensive craft bourbon selection.
Dinner Tue. thru Sat. From casual to fine dining.
"Something for everyone" with "Steaks not well done but done well"

    Food was very marginal. I ordered a $45 filet and it was so thin that there was no way you could call it a filet or cook it to medium rare. $45 was for a piece of meat only!!! Not even a small scoop of mashed potatoes?? We ordered the bread basket (for a cost) and the bread was very dry. There was a basketball game on and it was very loud. We had not been to 740 for a while, we used to enjoy it, but we won't return.

    Recently had an outstanding meal there. The highlight was the 45-day dry aged ribeye, which was perfectly prepared. I opted for the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach sides, which were also fantastic. Great cocktails, hisoric building with plenty of charm, and servers were all on their game. I'll be going back soon.

    I’ve lived in the area for more than 30 years and never managed to visit this lovely establishment. Family was in town and we needed something close to their hotel to celebrate birthdays. 740 Front Street didn’t disappoint. The ambience is charming and cozy. What a history??!! Make sure you read the back of the menu. Everyone cleaned their plates, and the service was top notch! Thank you so much for a wonderful family outing. Highly recommended.

    This was our first dining experience at 740 Front. We were with two out of state friends and all enjoyed the ambiance and service. We were seated at a table next to the bar and the entrance so it was quite loud and people were shuffling by to be seated. We were OK with that but had to talk a bit louder to hear each other. The service was EXCELLENT! We loved the beautiful bar and our drinks were very good. The only issue was with the food. Our friends seemed to enjoy their entrees - sea bass and a special of the day which was a pasta with chicken and corn. We had the bison filet (which was very good) and the steak kabobs and grilled shrimp skewer. The steak kabob (I don’t know what cut of beef) was very tough and chewy. There was quite a bit of gristle in it. I was able to cut around and get a few bites of beef that were edible. The shrimp was almost raw. Rather than disrupt our dinner with friends, I chose to just eat a few bites and bring the rest home for our dog - which made her very happy! Our bill was over $268. We enjoyed the ambiance and service but not sure we will visit again.

    The ambiance is great, very neat place. Some of the food was outstanding, some was not, but that may have just come down to personal taste. The drinks were phenomenal though.

    We arrived at happy hour and stayed through dinner. We started with the spinach dip and ceviche. Both delicious. I had the happy hour old fashion which was smooth and delicious. My husband had the aged ribeye and I had the flatiron steak for dinner. We agreed that I had the better steak. Although a little salty, it was juicy and tender. Great flavor. We had creme brulee for dessert. Not bad but not fabulous. It was more pasty than silky smooth & not enough sugar on top to crack. We will try something else next time.

    My wife and I have been coming to 740 for decades; from when it used to be an old Irish Pub to the current jewel of Louisville. The staff, the food, and the service are second to none. Everyone did phenomenal job in creating the perfect atmosphere for the celebration of our recent business transaction. Cheers to you all.
