Meet Billy Birch Pub & Yard, Thornton’s newest local hangout that’s more than just another bar. It’s a community gathering spot with a heartfelt story behind every pint poured.
Owners Mark and Margaret are no strangers to the neighborhood bar scene. With years of experience opening and managing bars throughout the metro area, they know what it takes to create the kind of place that feels like home the moment you walk in. But this time, they wanted to do something special, right here in our community.
The idea for Billy Birch was sparked by conversations with bar managers, regulars, and neighbors alike. Again and again, they heard the same thing: Thornton needs its own local spot… a place for people to unwind, connect, and make memories. So, Mark and Margaret took that idea to heart and turned it into reality.
And the name? That’s a tribute in itself. Billy Birch honors Mark’s late father, adding a personal layer to the warm, neighborhood vibe they’ve worked so hard to build. It’s a nod to family and the simple joy of sharing time together. A reminder that sometimes the best places are the ones that feel like an extension of your own living room.
Step inside Billy Birch and you’ll find more than just cold drinks on tap.

Whether you’re dropping by for a quick happy hour pint, bringing the family for dinner, or gathering with neighbors to watch the game, Billy Birch welcomes everyone—locals and newcomers alike.
The spacious beer garden patio is perfect for summer nights under the lights, and inside, you’ll find plenty of cozy spots to settle in and stay awhile. Add in friendly staff, a rotating beer list, and community events in the works, and it’s clear that Billy Birch is here to raise the bar for neighborhood hangouts in Thornton.
