New Falling Rock Tap House food menus hit the tables
Come on down for a pint and peruse our new food menus!! The old favorites are still there (with the exception of the Tune Melt, sorry, so long tuna!) but we have added in some new ones! Check out the expanded appetizers, new subs, and Carlos’ Street Tacos! In the mood for Queso and Chips? Add Street Taco Beef to it for a more filling, spicy snack. Vegetarian? Check out the hummus or the olive tapenade! Ask for our gluten-free menu for items that can be prepared or already are gluten-free.
We just put on Brunehaut Blonde, a gluten-free Belgian Blonde that is begging to be drunk on the warm, sunny patio alongside a new menu item. Hope to see you this weekend!
Pliny the Younger Tapping on February 12, 2012. Chris is getting the crowd ready for some Younger!
Sammy heating up the Rock during the Nathaniel Wright benefit show.
Pliny the Younger
1pm: Pliny the Younger Tapping!! We will open at 11 am, as usual, and will pass out tickets to ensure you get your glass of Younger. This controls the chaos and makes it a far more enjoyable release for you since you won’t have to maintain your place in a line (possibly in the cold, in the snow, on the ice…) and can sit and enjoy yourself. We’ve done this a few times (really? just a few?) and have learned from our experiences. Its a sign of intelligence, the ability to learn from ones past efforts.
4pm: Nathaniel Wright Memorial Benefit. Nathaniel was a member of Sammy Mayfield’s blues band for several years and an amazing musician. He passed away recently and we are hosting a LIVE Blues show featuring Sammy and friends to benefit Nathaniel’s family. A $15 BBQ buffet will be offered with all proceeds going to the family, and Sammy will be playing on the stage. This is a one-of-a-kind show for an excellent cause. We hope to see you!!
Have fun with us, come for the Younger and stay for the Blues!!
On Sunday, February 12 from 4pm to 7pm we will have a live Blues jam session featuring Sammy Mayfield and friends.
From KUVO Jazz 89 radio’s website: “One of the most solid bass players ever.”
Bassist Nathaniel Wright of Denver, a member of Sam Mayfield’s Blues Band for over forty years, has passed. There will be a Memorial Benefit for Nathaniel this Sunday, February 12 from 4 to 7pm at Falling Rock Tap House, 1919 Blake Street.
All Musicians are welcome; come and celebrate Nathaniel’s life and music. A BBQ buffet downstairs in the Cigar Room will be $15 with all proceeds going to Nathaniel’s family. Donations will also be accepted.
OK So here We Go…
the Kegs are arriving so Here’s the Schedule…
We will be tapping Pliny the Younger on Sunday, February 12th @1PM
Second Keg on Saturday February 18th @ 1pm
Last Keg on Saturday February 25th @5pm
We will open (as usual) at 11am each day. Tickets will be issued as people arrive that will allow you to purchase a beer,
this method seemed to de-stress the event last year so we’re going with that again.
We are waiting to hear from our distributor when the kegs of Younger will arrive in our cooler. And while we fully understand your eagerness, we ask that you please KEEP WATCHING THIS SITE (and TWITTER) FOR UPDATES.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE BAR!! We have gotten hundreds of calls per day in the past, and the bartenders simply do not know when we’ll tap it yet.
We will post announcements as soon as we know anything, from when the kegs will get here to when we will tap them. These announcements will be on the website, Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks for your eager support!
Don’t forget our NO COVER Champagne Toast at midnight tonight!! We will be closing at 2am on January 1 and will reopen at 11am on TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 2012. During this time off most of the staff are going to rest a bit and a few of us are going to do a few improvements to the bar. Come join us soon in the New Year and see if you can spot the differences!!
Please have a safe and Happy New Year! There are plenty of cabs and services to help you and yours get home safely, please use them!!
Join us at Sundown on Tuesday, December 20th for the beginning of Chanukah and the tapping of Jewbelation 15 from Schmaltz Brewing.
As Schmaltz Brewing says,
CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF DELICIOUS
BEER & DELICIOUS SHTICK…L’Chaim!
A while back the owners of Falling Rock, The Brothers Black, decided to celebrate the stellar job their staff did during this years GABF. What better way to celebrate than to take everyone to Euclid Hall for food, fun and plenty of drinks? Perhaps opening a 9-liter bottle of Russian River Temptation to be shared amongst our staff and those at Euclid Hall, along with 5lbs of Humboldt Fog, an amazing goat cheese that Natalie Cilurzo of Russian River swears by as a pairing to Temptation… Then we came across this article about the event, and picture of Chris with the giant bottle. One of these days, when I make room on a shelf for it, you’ll be able to walk into the bar and see it graced with our signatures. Here’s to 15 years of GABF at the Falling Rock and the staff who make it possible!!

A walk down our tap wall on Friday, December 16. Commentary by DanO, if available in your area. Check out all of the holiday taps!!
The wall of 30 Christmas beers has been updated, so check out out Beer List tab to see whats new. There are a few from Belgium we’ve never tapped before, like Silly Noel, Noel de Silenrieux and Boucanier Christmas as well as our standbys of Full Sail Wreck the Halls and Bristol Winter Warlock. Stop in and grab a glass of cheer!!
It’s Beginning to Taste a Lot Like Christmas around here, or winter, or just darn tasty if you please!! We are now pouring an amazing 25+ Holiday Beers on the wall!! Not to mention the 5+ waiting in the cooler. So to make things a bit easier on us all, here’s the current list of beers on tap and in bottles. Some are this years edition, but there are several amazing Vintage beers Chris has been carefully aging. Just remember, these beers are high in ABV, limited edition and and thus subject to change on a moments notice. Don’t worry, there will always be another beer worthy of your attention!
