“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"

    We arrived at happy hour and stayed through dinner. We started with the spinach dip and ceviche. Both delicious. I had the happy hour old fashion which was smooth and delicious. My husband had the aged ribeye and I had the flatiron steak for dinner. We agreed that I had the better steak. Although a little salty, it was juicy and tender. Great flavor. We had creme brulee for dessert. Not bad but not fabulous. It was more pasty than silky smooth & not enough sugar on top to crack. We will try something else next time.

    My wife and I have been coming to 740 for decades; from when it used to be an old Irish Pub to the current jewel of Louisville. The staff, the food, and the service are second to none. Everyone did phenomenal job in creating the perfect atmosphere for the celebration of our recent business transaction. Cheers to you all.

    Our group of six turned to seven last minute then two arrived late. Staff handled it PERFECTLY. The late folks arrived after most entrees had been served but our waiter and cook got them their dinner in a flash! Great food and great service. We'll be back!!

    740 Front is special gem. It hits on all levels. The food is delicious, the stuff is authentic and friendly, and the service is attentive. The owners did a fantastic job of renovating this historic building. It's worth coming to just to see the back bar that dates from the 1800s and was built without nails. We moved to Boulder from New York City 3 years ago and, in our opinion, this is the best restaurant in the area, and holds its own with our favorites in New York.

    This is the first time I have eaten here, and I was so impressed! The food was delicious! We started with the baked oyster special with asiago cheese which was amazing! We also shared the wedge salad and the Snake River Farms steak special. Everything was so good!
