    Live entertainment
    Martina O.

    Great place to hang out with weekly live entertainment. It's a bar with finger food menus and wide selection of drinks. Two bartender, be mindful of the wait it could be hectic for any orders. Great service and plenty of comfortable seatings.

    This place was super cool - so glad we spontaneously decided to check it out! The space is welcoming as is the staff. We snagged an open table outfitted with stools to spend an hour or so before our dinner reservations elsewhere. Their menu features their take on classic cocktails - funky revamps with lots of flavor and served beautifully. Additionally, there are select options of beer and wine in a can. We went for the cocktails since that seemed to be the right way to go. I had the God Save The Queen which had just the right hint of peach to make it a refreshing, but strong start to the night. My bf had the Mule, also good with a nice ginger beer to pack some punch. The Manhattan was enjoyed by my brother. My mom and her bf had Laguintas IPAs. Another bonus - bar snacks include complimentary freshly popped popcorn. Quality stuff right there! The space is somehow bright, yet moody. Intimate, yet spacious. They've really done well with the layout and decor, making it a really inviting space no matter what you're looking for nestled in the Elizabeth hotel. It has a classy vibe, but doesn't feel pretentious. If I lived in Fort Collins, I'd be a regular here. They also have live music (lineup is listed on their website). Sadly, we couldn't stay for the show the evening we visited. Can't wait to be back next year!

    Was given this right off the shelf!

    Was first given a glass that had red lipstick all over the rim. Went back to get another CLEAN glass and the bartender had to go through three other glasses before they found a clean one. And to add to the mix, it was a busy Saturday night and they had 2 bartenders during a night with live music. It doesn't take a genius to know that you need more staff and clean glassware to give your patrons. Won't ever come back and will be sharing with the world.

    Thank you to the bar tender that let my wife and I catch up with an old friend! The Odell's IPA tasted so good. The bar is cool with games and a huge connect four!

    Has potential, but it's lit way too bright, which kills the vibe. Good music and good staff though.

    Terrible service and unfriendly bar staff. They got it all! It's a nice enough place, but poorly managed.

The bar almost resembles something you might find in a small European hotel, which may suggest they are aiming for a slightly upscale tone, though it never feels pretentious. The seating is varied, with small tables and retro chairs that seem intentionally chosen rather than bought in bulk. The spacing is better than most coffee shops, which makes it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The back area opens up even more, and the soft drapery adds a touch of personality that appears to hint at events or just a bit of flair. The staff continues to be the standout for me. Everyone I spoke with was kind in a way that felt natural, and they knew the menu well enough to help me navigate dairy free options. I usually order the avocado toast on focaccia because it is consistently fresh. The bread looks oversized at first but is airy and soft, and the avocado and radish topping feels simple in the best way. The matcha made with water has also become a go to since it tastes smooth and well-bodied without that chalky, thin finish some places have. My partner and I visited during their Dia de Los Muertos weekend and tried a few themed items. Everything was good, and they were quick to suggest dairy free choices. Prices seem fair, even with the general bump everywhere lately. The only thing I wish they had more of is outlets. It is still a nice place to work for a couple of hours, but coming with a charged laptop helps. The overall vibe is calm with just enough energy to keep the space from feeling sleepy. It works well for coffee dates, casual catch ups, or solo work, especially for anyone who prefers a relaxed atmosphere without too much chaos.

    2.5, edging down to 2 stars…read more Not the best food experience I've ever had. They're rated really high -- actually one of the highest-rated restaurants in Fort Collins -- and from a food perspective I don't really understand why. Sliders with sweet potato fries -- fine, nothing extraordinary. Potato éclairs -- . It was really just mashed potatoes with some topping on it. I honestly didn't even finish it. Mountain oysters -- huge letdown. They came out so overcooked they were basically crunchier than potato chips, with the batter crumbling off. I've never had them before, so I didn't get a good representation of how they're supposed to be -- these were just super-cooked batter. On the space: we ended up sitting in three different spots to eat. We went outside by the street first -- super loud, and people were smoking, so we headed back in. The open spot inside was right under the AC and about forty degrees, so we moved to the back area. The back was fine -- covered -- but pretty dirty, with mop buckets and clutter sitting around. The one drink I had was a good value since we were there at happy hour -- some kind of fruity whiskey drink. It was fine, but nothing I'd seek out again. I hate to give such a friendly place a bad review. It'd be a really great spot if you're a college student who wants some cheap bites and a drink -- but honestly it's just bar food, and the ceiling is probably a 4 on a really good day. I wouldn't get excited to head down there, and parking is a bit of a hassle too. Would recommend only if you're after very cheap eats in that area -- check them out for happy hour. But I would not return.
