About this place Linger

Linger is a mainstream, gay-friendly restaurant at 2030 West 30th Avenue in Denver's LoHi neighborhood, set in the former Olinger mortuary building. The menu is built on shareable plates borrowed from street-food traditions around the world, with a strong cocktail list and a rooftop bar that gets busy on warm evenings. It carries a 4.5 Google rating across more than 5,600 reviews and sits in the mid price range. Reviewers like the happy hour and the shared-plates format but say service can slow down when it is full. Book ahead for weekend dinner or the rooftop.

This place was so fab. We were celebrating a birthday & ended up here so randomly but I genuinely was blown away by the entire experience. Food was amazing, drinks were bomb— they did take a bit to come out but no big deal. What really made the experience was our server Kat. She was incredibly careful with allergies at the table. When our birthday girl got there she joined us in party hats, and at the end not only brought out a dessert for the birthday girl, but brought out one that was allergy friendly in addition! She was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Go Kat and GO BIRDS!
