Chopper’s Sports Grill was named after Robert “ Chopper “
Traviglini (1932-1999) who was the former trainer of the Denver Nuggets. His
character and style, as well as his big heart, made him legendary in Denver,
and across the country.
(See “About Chopper Himself” for more on this special guy.)
In October of 1996 Chopper and his partners opened Chopper’s Sports
Grill in the Cherry Creek area of Denver CO. They renovated the old Rick’s
Café building at 80 South Madison Street and envisioned a casual neighborhood
watering hole where you could get a fine meal and enjoy a drink with friends.
It has evolved into “The Place” to watch a local sporting event
with that “at the game” feel complete with all the bells, lights,
and whistles. The place comes alive with energy and excitement when the home
teams score. The Denver Post, The Rocky Mountain News, ESPN, Citysearch.com, Westword,
5280 Magazine and Insite Magazine
have all recognized Chopper’s as “Best Sports Bar” and “Best
Patio”.
The restaurant has become famous for its Homemade Pizzas, Mile High Nachos,
Burgers that are made fresh daily, and Spicy Buffalo Wings. Chopper’s
has a wide variety of house-made, high quality items not typically seen on
sports bar menus. (See “Starters & Pizza” and "Sandwiches
& Specials") The kitchen staff is specially trained to handle all
your party needs for up to 300 people. Contact the manager to see Chopper’s
party menus or to inquire about booking our private room.
The Beer list includes 19 draft beers, including local and national microbrews
and all your favorites. Chopper’s also offers 40 bottled beers to insure
you’ll be enjoying your favorite ice-cold brew. The bar is fully stocked
with “top shelf” spirits, 10 wines by the glass, “the best”
margaritas, and a great selection of frozen “Island drinks” complete
with little umbrellas and fruit.
For your viewing pleasure Chopper’s has over 50 “High Def”
televisions. (Including 15-73'' Big screens, and the rest 35-52'' inch Sonys and Mitsubishis,
even TVs in the rest rooms and on the patios) Chopper’s also has multiple
satellites and receivers and subscribes to all the top sports packages and
services to insure “if it’s televised we’ll show it” However;
it’s always best to call ahead to make sure it’s on. Chopper’s
also has some great, as well as unusual sports memorabilia, to rival any you’ve
seen in a sports bar anywhere!
In the warmer months Chopper’s has two award winning covered patios,
beautifully landscaped and intimate, providing a great urban escape in the
afternoon or on a warm summer evening.
Happy Hour is Monday through Friday 3pm to 6pm. There are many great deals:
a dollar off any draft beer, House wine by the glass, or well drink, as well
as all the appetizers. Blue Moon Drafts are only $3
