Knockabout Burgers opened inside Avanti Food & Beverage in Denver's LoHi neighborhood in 2020, founded by chef Brandon Spain and partner Kaitlyn Peot. The concept is built on Colorado producers: grass-fed beef from River Bear Meats, brioche buns from Harvest Moon Baking Company, and regional specialty ingredients across the menu. In 2023, Denver readers voted Knockabout the city's Best Hamburger in Westword's annual Best of Denver poll.
Every patty is hand-smashed on the flat-top for crisp edges and deep crust. The house Knockabout Burger leads the lineup, while specialty builds like the Kimchi Burger and Goat Cheese & Prosciutto show the kitchen's range beyond the classic. The Avanti setting adds full-bar access and communal dining to the burger experience.
Denver readers voted Knockabout Burgers their Best Hamburger in the city for 2023 - a grassroots crown from the people who eat here every week.
A tribute to Colorado producers and comforting flavors - inventive combinations, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and wonderfully crisp fries.
Grass-fed Colorado beef makes these burgers special, and combos like the goat cheese and prosciutto burger or the kimchi burger add a little oomph beyond the basics.
Located inside Avanti F&B, Knockabout Burgers offers both chicken and beef varieties with a signature 1/3 lb smash and brioche bun from Harvest Moon Baking Company.
4.1 stars from 119 Google reviews. Diners consistently praise the locally-sourced ingredients and creative flavor combinations.
The bacon cheese burger is super good and the bacon is high quality. This place is not just a burger joint; it's a culinary experience.
The burgers were ok - not the best. Creative ideas, but the execution was inconsistent on our visit.
