    We are from out of town and we went here for the Photo Booth but stayed for the great food, drinks, and amazing bartenders! Couldn't recommend this place enough; we spent way too much time and a lot money here but it was SO worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Menu - April 2025
    Tomas R.

    Smack dab in the middle of S Broadway, Sputnik is where you go to pull away from the chaos of bar hopping and unwind with a stiff drink in your hand. This diner/bar has some solid bar food and the side of nostalgia to carry on with great conversation amongst your friends. We sat at the bar and I can still imagine my very first sip of my drink and was caught off guard (in the best way possible). The vibes were super laid back and it was nice to unwind and carry on a nice conversation.

    Kale caesar salad, falafel, vegan corn dogs
    Jon T.

    Sputnik is a fun dive bar with a huge separate vegan menu. My partner and I got the kale caesar salad, falafel wrap, and the elusive corn dog! Everything was excellent, though the corn dog was especially good (think they might use field roast?) As for the drinks, there is a decent selection of beer and plenty of cocktails to choose from. And the space itself is really fun--good people and environment. A little busy on the weekends, so if you're coming with a group of people either try to get there early or be prepared to wait a little for a table.

    Cubano Bowl

    Oh noooo, the poor bartender. When I walked into Sputnik and sat down at the bar, I got excited about the selection of whiskey. Unfortunately it came out as asking the bartender for a scotch that would burn my organs. I forget that I should be a little more mindful about my dark humor. I settled for a Laphroaig since tequila was more up his alley and he had no recommendations. My best friend joined me, and we enjoyed dinner before heading to a different bar. I got the incredible Cubano Bowl ($12.50) which had braised jackfruit, rice, black beans, plantains, and chimichurri. SOOOO good. I could have gotten mojo pork, but jackfruit seemed more unique. Decent quantity of food for the price, and the flavors were phenomenal. We left because the music was too loud. Overall quirky little spot with an odd selection of food. Love that they're open for both lunch and dinner, then late into the night for drinks. I could be open to coming here again. Nothing else on the menu really appeals to me, but this is the perfect spot for vegans. They have happy hour specials and some tasty-looking cocktails!

    Far cry from what it used to be. Instead of focusing on politics maybe you should improve your food, service and safety.

    We asked for a free Palestine and they wouldn't give it to us! In all seriousness- this place is a far cry from what it used to be. Maybe they should focus more on improving their food, service and safety and less on Middle East politics.

    Vegan Cubano & Kale Caesar
    Marissa B.

    Vegan options up the wazoo, and plenty for your meat eater pals as well. I'd describe their menu as mostly bar food like corn dogs, mac n cheese, and tacos, with some outliers like a falafel wrap, bahn mi & katsu curry. I'm totally shocked by the handful of negative reviews I've seen here. I've been to Sputnik between 10 and 20 times and have never been disappointed by food quality or service! I think they may be understaffed, bc even w the occasional slow service, every server I've had has been so kind and fun, acknowledging they're slammed and still serving with a good attitude. *Fries are some of my favorite anywhere. Thin cut and always well seasoned. Comes with two sauces and they're all made in house and delicious. Love the sriracha ranch and nashville aioli. *Kale Caesar is hands down my favorite vegan Caesar salad in Denver. It's got a bite of garlic and the croutons are always delish. Consistently a favorite. *Vegan Cubano: had for the first time tonight and it was amazing on every level. It was also bigger than I expected it to be! *Sputburger: my boyfriend said it's the best burger he's had in a long long time. Pickled onions changed the game. *Vegan Mac n Cheese has evolved over the past couple of years. It's been a bit different every time I get it, but I have to say it's been good every time. Idk what else to say other than a 10/10 grand slam. Vibes are dive bar like, but with recent renovations it's become slightly less grungy with more of a diner vibe. Love the booths along the wall and that you seat yourself. I always suggest meeting w friends at Sputnik for its wide variety of options, healthy to greasy goodness. Couldn't advocate for this place enough. Honorable mention for their brunch. Only had it twice but remember the food we ordered was great, but the stand out was the spicy Bloody Mary. It's ghost pepper vodka, and one of the only places in Denver that knows what it means to make a drink ACTUALLY spicy. BIG PROPS!!!

    AMAZING food! So flavorful I'm highly impressed…read more Protein & veggie egg white scramble was great and not bland at all. I loved the sauce that it came with. Only note is that chicken patty was a tad dry. Whipped cottage cheese toast was incredible. Literally no notes. Banana bliss pancakes were good. We just expected it to have banana chunks in it, but it was blended into the batter. So that was a little disappointing because there wasn't a strong banana flavor. But, super yummy for vegan pancakes. Super greens juice was really good. It was sweeter than we thought it would be but not overly sweet. Cold brew was solid as well, pretty standard. Service was super friendly and relatively quick. There was a huge party at another table but we didn't have to wait long. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Our coffee refills were handled quickly too, which honestly makes a difference during busy brunch hours. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable enough to sit and catch up for a while.
