    THIS BAR IS BACK OPEN! This place closed for a couple of months. They reopened at the end of December, and I'm so glad. It's super dog-friendly, and the drinks are good and cheap. Service is always great and I love the lights outside with the fire pits.

    This is another one of those hidden gems. Nestled in the corner of a strip mall and dwarfed by the Monster Mini Golf next door, it's easy not to notice this perfect spot for chillin'. In the morning they serve European-style coffee (read especially flavorful) and breakfast-type foods. Much like Starbucks, but nothing like it, they serve craft coffees and things to enjoy with it. On Sundays, the chef takes it up a notch and does a brunch. On one of my visits, I got adventurous with my selection. I'm not a big strong coffee drinker but I had to try one of their Cortados. It was smoooooth and left a wonderful memory on my tongue. Once the morning is over this place takes a siesta until 4pm when they open again as a place to enjoy stronger drinks from a fully stocked bar. They also have craft beers and wine on tap. To complement the ambiance they feature talented local musicians, usually on the weekends. Even then, they have the music early enough that you can bring your parents to enjoy the acoustic or electric music together and they can still be in bed by 10pm. This place is all about family and welcoming people in. You can feel it from the moment you enter.

    Wonderful service and delicious coffee perfect spot to relax and have a brew! Even got to try a seasonal latte on the house

    Large latte, not full.

    I've been looking for a good local coffee shop near my home for awhile, and haven't been so lucky. However Modern Brew was overall pretty good! I will say however, and the reason for one less star is that I took one sip from my coffee, noticed it felt light for a large and opened the lid to see it was about 75% full. I'll definitely be giving them more chances because the place was nice and the staff were fantastic, just a little disappointed that pour was so light.

    The cool bar with 1 cold brew coffee tap, 10 beer taps and 6 wines!!!

    Modern Brew has been a staple of our neighborhood! They opened at the worst of times- right before the pandemic - and have fought their way to become the best local bar!! They have the best coffee, drink menu and an amazing seasonal food menu! Not to mention live music and art classes/ farmers market vendors at times. Worth your while to visit over and over again!

    What a fun new find! I've been hoping for a coffee shop like this near my house for 5 years! Great lattes, super nice staff, serves food! Big comfy tables. Check it out! P.s. if you stay long enough they turn from coffee into beer!

    This place is a hidden gem! There's a lot of things going for it…read more Drinks- quality and consistency of great drinks. They have an amazing happy hour and a good drink program which specializes in classic cocktails, wine and beer. Every drink reaches a gold standard for the industry. Sunday's is customer appreciation and you get first drink free! Ambience: this place is amazingly clean and comfortable. Plenty of cushy chairs and couches, dimly lit and even though they have TVs, the focus is on a chill playlist and not a blaring sports bar atmosphere. My kinda place! Hospitality: This place shines with their hospitality. Their staff is kind and accommodating- shout out to Arvind the best of the staff! We have come many times with groups and they are usually willing to comp us a drink here and there as a gesture of kindness to the group coming in. You will always be treated well here, is my experience. I will always recommend this place for a chill time and high quality of service!

    Yelp's weekly suggestions are some spot-on and timely. Had it not been for one of them I recently…read morereceived, I don't think I would discover this hidden bar. Its overall chicness in a spacious lounge-style room immediately cooled me down once I arrived (on the day I visited after work, the temperature outside was soaring in upper 80's.) The time was around 4:45pm. If I am not mistaken, their happy hour is 3-5pm. I thought I was in the middle of the HH rush but there were still plenty of seatings available and yet the place was nowhere near empty. And yet, I found just the right spot so I would be away from all the chatters emitting from the people mainly sat at the bar. The selections for wine (red and white) as well as the tap beers are quite the variety. During the HH time, the drinks are only $5 for beer on tap, well mules, wells spirits and any wine on tap. For a chic/elegant/upscale place such as this place, this pricing offer is extremely generous. I simply couldn't think of anything other than refreshing cold white wine so after getting a little suggestion from my wonderful waiter, I went with the Angeline Sauvignon Blanc (the regular price is $12 so I saved $7.) As much as I am a wine person, I don't go by the rigid rules. White win should generally be served between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) and yet at home I chill my (white) wine in the freezer for a bit so it will be super cold. This is a must for me. And to my surprise, when they served me the Sauvignon Blanc it was pretty close to the super chill temperature I am used to. As if they read my mind, I was quite surprised and happy with the cold crisp white wine. It was a quick stop to have a little "after work" cocktail on the way home so I didn't get any food and yet that crisp chilled white wine I was served instantaneously made me a big fan of this cocktail lounge. When I asked my waiter when the place opened. He said it opened in 2019. I simply couldn't believe it. If it's been around for this long but the fact that I recently heard about it stunned me. And if I am not mistaken, the waiter said that another location is about to open in a different area in the Denver metro. It's nice to know that this business is thriving. Good for them.

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

Often. Have you seen how often I check in??? For client meetings. For get togethers. For coffee. For cocktails. It's neighbor is Cranelli's, my other fave spot for Italian. Just look for the bright yellow umbrellas and you know you've arrived to coffee heaven. Parking can get nuts during the busy hours but there's always one available if you just exercise patience so you can get the aahhmazing Vietnamese coffee. I adore the owners Tracy and Q who are usually on site and welcoming guests or working the counter. They invite you in with their warm smiles and happy soul. Staff is always friendly and ready to serve you the caffeine fix or in my case the cocktails. I am head over heels on the Lychee Peachy, Espresso Martini or Afterwork Refresher if I am not getting the coffee flights. Trust me, you can't drink just one Lychee Peachy. The coffee flights of chilled coffee are customizable (four options you can choose from a rotating list of regular and seasonal flavors). The flights are so Instagram swoon worthy and art itself. I also can't get over the incredible baked goods like the cream cheese cruffins that I won't share. There is such a selection of breakfast items like the lox and bagel that will taste so good with your coffee. The light bites are so yummy and a meal itself. I highly recommend the steak bites, the shrimp toast and the banh mi board if you had to start with anything. I learned that they have a similar concept at the Golden Triangle where Q's brother is the owner. It's on my list though I am partial and loyal to this location. May all your to-do's turn in to ta-da's! Peaky Peak makes me look forward to tomorrow's coffee.
