Downside: Their specials only run during university semesters. I go here almost every week for wing night because I am a terrible person. The suicide wings (pictured) are EXTREMELY spicy. Like, I can eat the hottest peppers in the world and recover within 30 minutes. These wings burn in my stomach for most of the night and into the morning. I wonder why I do this to myself. Every single time I tell myself no more. And then I go and do it again because my mouth longs for the burn and my butt has long forgotten it.

Great atmosphere food and drink for some require reasonable prices. Cheeseburger was juicy, and came with some great seasoned fries. Mini donuts where tasty, and what you'd expect from mini donuts, and the drinks were nice and fruity, but a little lacking in oompth from the alcohol. I have come here with friends on atleast 4 additional occasions, and from those experiences I can say that I can confidently bump my review up to 5 stars. The cocktails and drink selection, staff are very polite and accomodating (even when our reservation required much more seats than we expected) and as such, I would very much recommend the Den!

Great place to hang out at UofC. We tried the nachos and wings, quality was ok and the portions were generous. I tried the "Nemesis" beer and I loved it. We got great service from Kayla from start to finish. Definitely I'll stop by whenever I visit the University again.
