My girlfriend and I went to Social for happy hour and appetizers about a week ago and had an…read moreabsolutely wonderful time. We originally planned to stay for happy hour, but ended up spending nearly three hours there because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Social is one of those rare places that completely lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk downstairs, the atmosphere transports you to another era. The speakeasy vibe is authentic without feeling gimmicky, and every detail has clearly been thoughtfully designed. It's a super cool speakeasy with a warm, inviting interior that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. We shared the charcuterie board, which was excellent, and enjoyed both the champagne and the bourbon. Everything was high quality and thoughtfully prepared. Ryan, our bartender, really made the experience special. He treated us exceptionally well, made us feel genuinely welcome, and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. What started as a plan to enjoy happy hour turned into one of the most enjoyable evenings we've had in a long time. It's the perfect place for a date night or simply a relaxing evening with exceptional food, outstanding cocktails, and an atmosphere that's second to none. We'll definitely be back now that we live here in Fort Collins. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Fort Collins, Social is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

I don't love cocktails and their food menu is sparse, but if you want to impress a date or treat yourself to tasteful drinking, it's a nice place.

The first thing is that the place was about 2/3 full and they seem pretty well staffed in the front of the house. There were 2-3 bartenders behind the bar at all times. After we ordered (2 cups of lobster bisque and bread), our server apologized and told us there was a large party in their private room and the chef was having a hard time keeping up. I can't imagine they normally only have one person preparing all of the food on a normal Saturday evening! It took no less than 45 minutes from when we ordered to get our food. Some olives or something would have been nice. My mom also had to wait 15 mins for her 2nd glass of wine. I'll tell you, we weren't going to order anything else after that! There was some really nice classical guitar music by a live musician. I tipped him on our way out. After we left, we noticed a $5 entertainment charge! Is this a norm in Colorado? I would think we would be informed upon entering if there's a cover fee or an additional charge. I would have been happy to pay it, but we should have been informed.

I particularly enjoyed the fig & apple Brie flatbread, though the portion was distinctly dainty. We also chose the artichoke dip which came with dipping veggies for some additional sustenance. On the wine side of things, my friend went for the Chardonnay flight. I chose the Pinot Noir flight. We were both quite happy with our selections. The space is intimate and comfortable. We were never rushed to decide and spent a couple hours socializing while sipping our flights. The friendly servers checked on us regularly but weren't overbearing. All that said, this is a pricey joint. The two of us each ordered a flight, and the two small bites mentioned above. We split the bill which was $80 before tip. "Happy hour" this is not. If money isn't an object, you will likely spend a terrific night sampling wine at this unique wine bar in SE FoCo. For the rest of us it'll be more of a special occasion outing.

After a full day of visiting the zoo and the Denver Art Museum, we were hungry for dinner. Manta…read moreCafe showed up in my Yelp search and was an easy walk from the museum. Mantra Cafe refers to having "Nepali Indian Fusion Food" and their menu reflects Himalayan items and classic Indian fare. It was a Tuesday evening and there were a handful of customers dining already - mostly couples I noticed. For our party of three, this is what we ordered: * Pani-Puri $8 * Garlic Cilantro Naan $5 * Rogani Lamb $22 * Village Curry Goat $22 * Basmati Rice (complimentary) Everything was very enjoyable with great flavors and we finished it all. I really appreciated that the basmati rice was complimentary. I was definitely curious about their various Mo-Mo items but we were very full with what we got. 4.5 stars

We came in during a rush--granted with 7 people. We were the second group seated during the rush…read more We were not provided menus even though the other parties were. We patiently waited while other tables that came after us ordered. Others had gotten their food already. We followed up, but they essentially blew us off. We waited over an hour for the food to come out. The food overall was good, but instead of getting the saag dish with lamb, we were given the saag paneer. I asked to pay, and they said got that fixed on the bill. They said they included a 5% discount for the wait, but they didn't say that a 20% tip would already be added. Despite having such POOR service, we still tipped $20.00, not knowing tip had already been included. I went to let them know that they could've have said something about the tip being added. They said it wasn't their intention. And I could've reviewed the receipt but they just put the machine to me and asked me to tap without giving the option to review the bill. Thing is, this is a state govt funded work function, and by state policy, we are not allowed to tip over 20% on meals. Either way, food was good, but service was POOR POOR POOR. Again I understand the circumstances, but you could communicate better and not be so dismissive.

There were about 12 people inside watching Phantom when we got there and we received waves and compliments from several. I do believe one of the co-owners was the one who helped us at the bar and we were offered free samples. I ended up getting their Halloween special which was their spiced mead made blue with spirulina called the Draugr and my spouse got their oak barrel aged mead. We watched part of Phantom and part of Nosferatu before we left around 9pm because it was getting late. We had a great time and the atmosphere was really chill. We hope to be back soon. It was seriously some of the best mead I've ever had and I'm mead spoiled.

The location is nice, it's is not particularly big but when we went it was comfortable and we found a seat easily. They have an outdoor patio that I did not photograph because it was dark. They have a tasting room and a little gift area. They showcase local art on the walls and have several games and toys for little ones to play with. They offer their own mead, meads and ciders from all over, non alcoholic drinks, wines, and an assortment of cocktails. They also offer pub snacks which we got the meat and cheese plate and giant pretzel. My 1.5 year old thoroughly enjoyed both and we were hungry so I forgot to photograph it lol. The mead was wonderful. They offer flights and my partner and I both had one. He got the warrior and I got the sweet as well as a DIY flight. The flights were very reasonably priced at 9$ for a flight of 3 which were decent sizes. The traditional was a nice easy mead, sweet but not overbearingly so. My partner really enjoyed the Ragnarboar which was raspberry infused. I loved the Oderir and would drink that warm in the fall. It was a great experience, our 1.5 year old was welcomed with us, loved the toys and the snacks and I was pleased to know and use the changing table in the bathroom. We will definitely be back. Can't wait for warmer months when the patio is opened.

High-end place for tapas!…read more I came with a friend on a Friday night and it was moderately busy. The ceilings are high, the staff are super helpful, and the vibe feels perfect for a classy date night. They have an awesome drink menu. My friend and I were both very happy our drinks. The tapas menu is also full of great options. We had the tuna steak, the beef steak, and some scallops. It was very delicious with great presentation. Very fine-dining. This is a little on the pricier side and you're not going to be full from just a plate of the tapas. However, the experience makes it worth it! If you wanna have a fine-dining experience without committing to like a $300 9-course meal, Ollie & Park's is the place to go!

They'll suggest ways to customize your sandwich and somehow make it even better than you expected. The whole crew just brings a really welcoming, positive energy. The vibe is fun, fresh, and lively. It can get a little loud, but it adds to the atmosphere rather than taking away from it. It's laid-back and casual, the kind of place where you can just show up, relax, and enjoy yourself. The food definitely leans into that "munchies" category, but honestly, that's part of the charm. It's flavorful, satisfying, and totally worth it. If you're looking for somewhere with good music, great food, and genuinely good vibes, this is the spot.
