About Ace Eat Serve
The Spotlight on Ace Eat Serve

Asian Street Food Meets Social Vibes in Uptown Denver

Ace Eat Serve is a funky, high-energy Asian restaurant located in Denver's Uptown neighborhood, just a short drive or ride from downtown music venues. Housed in a retrofitted garage, this spot combines a love for Asian street food with a playful twist—think communal tables, an open-air patio, and even a full-size ping pong hall. The casual dress code and laid-back vibe make it a go-to for locals and travelers alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show at the Fillmore or heading to a venue downtown, Ace Eat Serve offers quick, flavorful eats and upbeat energy that's perfect for pre-show hangs. The service is known to be speedy and friendly, making it easy to grab a bite before the music starts. The spacious layout and high ceilings mean you can chat without shouting, and the buzzing atmosphere just adds to the concert-night excitement.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for shareable bites and a fun, social setting
  • Solo travelers who want a lively place to fuel up before the show
  • Couples enjoying a weekend in Denver with a mix of romance and fun
  • Fans looking for a lively pre-show space with local flair
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting high flavor without high prices

What People Say

Reviews consistently praise the creative Asian fusion dishes like bao buns, ramen, and Korean fried chicken, as well as the unique cocktail list and open-air patio. Diners love the ping pong hall for adding a playful twist to the evening, and the upbeat, friendly staff keep the energy high. Many say it’s a top pick for nights when you're pairing dinner with a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that it can get a bit noisy during peak hours—great for pre-show excitement but not ideal if you're after a quiet dinner. Occasional waits for a table can happen, especially on weekends, so reservations are a smart move.

The Bottom Line

With quick service, bold flavors, and a lively vibe, Ace Eat Serve is a perfect launchpad for a concert night in Denver.
