    Meadowlark is a decent bar/place to go on a weekend night. It's lively albeit on the dingier side, but I like that about it. It has a dive bar energy with decent music depending on the night. I would say it attracts a younger crowd about 20s-30s. I liked when they used to sell soju bottles! It's not the first place I think of when going out in Denver, but it's on the list.

    Meadowlark has been a bar I've wandered in to many, many times on the weekends. They've always got something going on whether it's a DJ downstairs, karaoke night, jazz night, etc. Jazz night in particular is amazing. The group that normally plays there during jazz night is comprised of very, very talented musicians. Be aware that like most bars in the RiNo area, it gets absolutely packed on the weekends so be ready to wait a bit at the bar. One cool thing that sets Meadowlark apart from other bars in the area is the dark, moody atmosphere downstairs and the semi-outdoors area upstairs if you want some air. Both areas have bars so definitely check one out if the other is way too packed. Drinks here are very similar to all the other bars in the area. Not particularly expensive but definitely not cheap either.

    If you fancy yourself a semi-ratchet jungle patio where you can blast heaters until you pass out, this is your spot. Drinks are not too pricey and the sloppy 1:30am dance moves are priceless. On Fridays there is usually a $5 cover charge but lemme tell you.. worth it. Once closing time rolls around, chances are you will have severe drunchies. Thankfully, Meadowlark has you covered with a bangin' taco truck that is within stumbling distance. Make sure to scarf down 7-8 tacos with the hottest salsa they have to top off a night full of likely regrettable decisions.

    This review is for their OPEN MIC (Tuesday's at 9pm) It'll be pretty empty at 8:30pm but I would suggest arriving around that time if you want to have first pick for your time-slot. People started coming in closer to 9pm. They put out the list at 8:40pm and have you sign up for the time-slot you want starting at 9pm with 15 mins intervals (amount of time for your set). The organizer is very adamant about the time and pretty punctual when each set starts/ends. I'd say by 9:30pm there were around 35 people. That's when I decided to play. I stayed until 10pm so can't say how crowded it got after that. Apparently later is when more people show up. The bartenders are super nice and attentive.

    Funky and weird in a good way. They usually have a DJ on Saturday's. Mixed crowed, not overly packed. I was a big fan of the vibe. They have an underground bar which was a whole unique vibe in itself. Enclosed patio outside. Cool place to go to with friends and chill

    I caught the Homeboy Sandman concert last month at the Meadowlark Bar. Loved the set up, lights, stage and the working staff at the bar and front door were all nice. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Wish I had read the reviews before going here. Like others who've had a terrible experience at this establishment, I've worked in the service industry for about a decade. A friend and I went to Meadowlark at 1am on a Tuesday. They close at 2am. Apparently it was a slow night and we were turned away even though they still had customers in the bar. No worries- we left. 4 patrons walked into the bar. I waited a moment to see if they walked back out since I was told they were closed. When they did not, I walked back into the bar and spoke with the bouncer who said "this is my roommate & my friends". So they turned away paying customers to let in their scrub homies. Tony sucks at his job & I will NEVER return to this dump again. Way to go Meadowlark. Clearly a managerial disconnect.

    Latchkey is perfect for many vibes depending on the day! It's in walking distance from me so it's a…read morenice spot we go for a quick drink. I see they just added a cute hanging side on the front, so it's easier to locate. Their interior is divided by the huge rectangular bar in the middle. It gives space to both sides. There are TVs all around. There is also an outdoor patio that is perfect for warmer nights. I've been a handful of times and was able to experience it busy and slow! The first time we went is for an event after a Billy Strings concert, and the place was packed. Even then, the drinks came pretty fast. On the slower times, I was able to order their craftier cocktails. Their cocktails are decent. The major upside of this place is the prices! I find them to be on the cheaper side of Denver drinks. Latchkey has quickly become a go-to of mine and can't wait to see them grow more!

    Latchkey seems to be THE neighborhood watering hole. Went here for an after party and arrived…read morearound 11:30 pm and closed the bar down--we weren't the only ones! There are so many activities you can participate in - pool, darts, a "fun" vending machine that does not disperse food or drink, watch sports, photo booth, hang outside on their patio, hang inside at the numerous tables and chairs, or hang out at the bar with the bartenders - there is so much to do! You can bring your own food in as well. It is set up for large groups! Service was great, tables were clean as was the bathroom. It's a fun place to be, especially on a Saturday night!

    Honestly - fire all around. Everything we had was phenomenal…read more I think they change their menu often but we got - CRAB + CORN HOLUBTSI: which was my favorite thing on the menu. Cabbage wrapped crab and corn. Super flavorful perfectly cooked. - ADJIKA PELMENI: almost like a ravioli or tortellini. Wasn't my favorite, but everyone else loved it. Very earthy. - VEAL + POTATO FLAKE SHASHLIK: basically a shish kebab with veal and potatoes and the sauce they had for it was to die for - SQUASH BLOSSOM FRITTER: not exactly what I expected - it was a flattened fritter with everything on top, but the flavors were super great. - PAN SEARED RED PERCH: instead of perch, they had something similar to salmon and muscles. Everyone loved this dish and thought that the salmon was cooked to perfection. Service was great - no complaints Ambience is quaint and cozy!

    Okayyyyyy Molotov, I see you!!!…read more TLDR: I was impressed by pretty much every single thing we ate. Beautiful plates, delicious and surprising flavors, friendly service. For our monthly dinner, my Yelp Elite girlies and I headed to Molotov. I don't know a ton about Ukrainian food but I'm always open to try new flavors and cuisines. I ordered the Moryana cocktail. It was a savory cocktail and had the most unique smell...after some questioning, I think it was the MSG! I didn't love it but it was incredibly unique. We shared all our plates and ordered the Marigold + Charred Leak Babka, Crab + Corn Holubtsi, Adjika Pelmeni, Veal + Potato Flake Shashlik, Squash Blossom Fritter, Pan Seared Red Perch, and Beet S'more. Standouts for me were the Crab + Corn Holubtsi, Veal + Potato Flake Shashlik and Beet S'more. The Crab + Corn Holubtsi was fantastical. If you love corn, you should get this. It's a great combo of flavor, a little sweet, savory, and the textures throughout are excellent and balanced. The Beet S'more is delightful. The marshmallow is bright and tangy which pairs so well with the white chocolate and the ice cream brings it home! It was the perfect ending to our meal. Shout out to the salmon that was so perfectly seared, I could've cried. I believe the red perch was replaced with salmon. Service was great, our server knew all the details on the dishes and was super helpful. 10/10 recommend y'all. You guys have to try this place out! Also, reminder, it is a tiny space (with beautiful decor might I add), so I would make a rezy.
