“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"

    I enjoyed The Bees Knees, Gin, honey syrup and lemon juice. Would recommend The deviled eggs for an appetizer were yummy. Shared a ceasar salad with the husband...a bit too lemony.. We then had the lollipop lamb chops , with creamed spinach, and the PEI mussels as an entree. Lamb chops were tasty, had more garlic than we cared for. Would have been better off ordering them as an appetizer. We didn't need that much food. Great service, its a beautiful restaurant. Next time we'll sit at the bar, which was packed when we arrived. I wasn't happy with our small table, and would have much rather of sat in the main dining area. I asked if we could switch our table, but we didn't seem to have a choice.

    A good dinner experience. The ambience is very good. It's one of the few places where they still use white linen on the tables and the historic feel very much represents Louisville. The menu has a good range of selections, and the kitchen is fairly consistent.

    Thank you so much for your kind review, Edgar! We appreciate your comments.
