Job Description

Cherry Cricket is where friends, families and out-of-towners have been going for burgers and their brew of choice since 1945. Were a Denver institution because we serve up the best appetizers, sides, entrees and award-winning burgers with a welcome home, now sit down and enjoy attitude.

No one really knows where the name Cherry Cricket came from, and we like it that way. In our original location at the modest brick and mortar building on 2nd Ave, we've been slinging burgers, brews and good times since 1945. In April 2018 we opened our second location in the Ballpark neighborhood at 22nd and Blake!

For more than 70 years now, we've continued to fill bellies with the city's favorite burgers paired with Colorado made beers. The memories made at the Cricket are just as important as the amazing food we serve. The Cricket is a place where a delicious burger, a cold beer, and good friends will always be waiting.
