tacos and skillet
Katie R.

We went for brunch, not a ton of options but good food and not too expensive. I'd recommend. Very cute atmosphere.

Bailie Z.

Great spot! Stopped in for some late night drinks with friends & there was plenty of seating. They also had a DJ that was great but not too loud so we were able to still chat. Service was quick with our orders and very kind. I would love to return during the day & try their brunch/dinner and happy hour!

They have free parking, which is a huge plus in that neighborhood! It has very interesting decor with a dark mood. I met some friends for happy hour and we got drinks and tacos, which were all good. My drink got a flame which I always love for presentation!

Cool spot, cocktails are unique twists on the classics. Everyone can find something here. Had the espresso martini and it was excellent. DJ was on when we got there and the staff was friendly. Was a little confused about where to sit as they had a hostess walking around but not really a host stand. Either way I'll be back!

Patio

Goldfinch is a cute place. Modern and dark (at night); it does create that great cocktail lounge ambiance where you can endlessly sip on your favorite cocktail or two as it's so relaxing. As I recollect, this used to be a crepe place which I had utilized. They did a great job turning this into a quaint cocktail lounge on the busy street of Broadway. Despite its location however, the noise from the street is completely cancelled once inside (however, I'm not sure about the patio area. We went here on a very cold winter day so the patio, of course, wasn't open. When it's a lot warmer, I'd love to sit outside and experience the outdoor environment in there. It might as relaxing as the inside.) This experience of mine was about a month or so ago (so much belated.) I had a wonderful red wine (Sangiovese or something like that) along with a pork and potato appetizer dish. That app truly complemented the wine (or the wine complemented the dish; either way, it sure was a great pairing.) There is a little DJ room where they were playing the kind if music that resonates with the whole experience and atmosphere. The lady who assisted us was very welcoming and friendly. The service was top notch. If you are looking for a quiet lounge to enjoy a good appetizer dish with a drink then this place will be your best bet (especially if you want to avoid a huge place where there are other people.) My type of place for sure.

Fun little bar with great unique drinks. Excellent staff and was well taken care of. Love the couches and lounge area. The bathrooms are also decent. The outdoor area was also nice. We just went to the LOBO block party here which was cute and fun. A little festival with some local dj's, vendors, cocktails, and local companies. Would definitely come back again soon. My friends and I had a lot of fun.

Ryan R.

Crystal and I and our friends Mallory and Joe went here. The drinks were good and the place is a chill fun vibe inside. I would like to come back again on a regular day non event to try out their regular menu. The dj's were great and so were the servers. The couches and lounge area is a fun chill space. Definitely will come back again soon!

The Goldfinch made Westword's Top100 List for Bars in the New & Noteworthy Category and I can see why. This chic bar opened in the Platt Park area earlier in 2024 to offer a nightclub option in the area. It is also open for brunch on the weekends. Named after the owner's spirit animal, a painting of a bright yellow goldfinch holding a turquoise jeweled dream catcher atop a disco ball greets you as you walk in the door. There are hints of other southwestern decor in the many Zia symbols sprinkled throughout the open yet intimate space. There are many options for seating, and we were lucky to have the table with the plush lime green swivel chairs. A perfect spot for drinks and a conversation. We arrived for happy hour. This included Happy Wells for $7, Happy Cans for $5, Happy Wines for $8, and Special Spritzes that were off the menu. Most customers were ordering the spritzes so I went for that. Plus, our server, who was also a bartender, sold me on one he had created with falernum syrup that wasn't too sweet and went down a little too easy. The Goldfinch had a chill vibe and was a very enjoyable experience. One that I will definitely revisit.

Mark M.

Really cool ambiance. Service is great and the food is good! They have a great outside seating area. We had the torta and the skillet, good brunch options! The coffee also is really good!!

Sarah A.

Such a cute and cozy bar for some late night drinks! Visited this location with a friend and throughly enjoy it. I would say the drinks are the spotlight, food was a little bit of an after thought. We had the cheese dip with tortillas, it was okay... but could have had more flavor. Overall, the music was lively and our server would occasionally check in on us.

Nondescript entrance @back of parking lot
Lauren K.

New-ish cocktail lounge on Broadway, entrance is a little hard to spot but it's at the back of the parking lot. Went on a Thursday evening during HH and appreciated that it wasn't empty or super crowded, and house music vibin but not so loud that it was distracting or hard to talk. They had a dj booth and the waiter mentioned they have dj sets pretty often, so would come back for that. There was an outdoor seating area too so would be nice on a summer night kinda thing. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the menu was a little limited/random, at least for HH. But it's a good place for a drink, date, etc.

I went to a friend's birthday party and she had reserved the entire place. The atmosphere is very cosy and relaxing. There are nice soft seats near the wall where you can people watch and chill. We had some small plate tacos thats were delicious. The bartenders were fun and very good at making cocktails and they even did some fire tricks that looked a little dangerous but we loved it!

My friend and I came here for happy hour and immediately felt like we picked the right spot for a relaxed, fun evening. They have a great happy hour from 4 to 6 pm, and the menu actually feels intentional instead of just a shorter list of discounted items. We both ordered the Happy Smokey Halo because we love mezcal, and it was absolutely delicious. It had that smoky depth you want from mezcal, balanced with a little heat and citrus, and it felt interesting and layered without being overcomplicated or overly sweet. For food, we ordered the happy hour tacos, the tostada, and the panela to share, and genuinely loved all of it. The tacos were flavorful and fresh with great texture, the tostada had a really satisfying crunch and a nice balance of toppings, and the panela came out warm and comforting with tortillas on the side that made it perfect for scooping. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and ideal for sharing while you sip cocktails and catch up. The vibes here are amazing and honestly one of my favorite parts of the experience. I love the lighting, the warm glow from the candles, the artwork on the walls, and the overall decor that makes the space feel cozy but still lively and social. The servers came by often to check in without hovering, were patient with our questions, and were very accommodating with customizations. It ended up being one of those happy hours where you leave already thinking about when you can come back again.

I sent an email request for a party of 10 for my Birthday brunch on August 4th and have not received an email back?

I called and asked if I could make reservations and never heard back. I would try calling during business hours.

Kike's Red Tacos changed my life. Before this place, I was a normal person. After my first queso…read moretaco dipped into that rich, glorious consomé, I became someone who casually considers flying to Denver "for lunch." I started going when they were still operating out of their food truck, and honestly, watching them grow into a permanent restaurant feels like seeing your favorite underground band finally make it big... except instead of music, they're dropping cheesy taco masterpieces. The queso tacos are absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way: crispy, cheesy, messy, and worth ruining at least one shirt over. And the consome? That stuff could heal emotional damage. It's rich, comforting, and somehow makes you immediately want "just one more taco" even when you're already full. Every time I'm in Denver, this place is mandatory. Not optional. Not "if there's time." Mandatory. My vacation itinerary basically starts with flights and ends with tacos. So happy to see Kike's getting the recognition they deserve. If you haven't been yet, prepare to have your standards permanently ruined for all other tacos.

Kike's was aiighttt... I'd heard a lot of hype but it just didn't deliver for me. The beef tacos…read morewere juicy but lacked flavor. The al pastor was dry and chewy... a real letdown. The horchata, though? Genuinely great. I actually also really liked the elote but my partner didn't. The consomé was fine, nothing memorable. It's a decent enough spot to swing by, but I'm not going out of my way to come back tbh.

Great service, great food! Exactly what I needed after a night of travel. I recommend this place.read more

I tremendously enjoyed this restaurant. I call this a hidden gem because even though it's on the…read morenortheast corner of the very busy intersection of 6th Ave and Sheridan, you may drive past by it unless someone told you about it. It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!

A friend recommended this spot, and I'm so glad! We went on…read moretaco Tuesday and had no problem getting bar seating (or there were a few tables available) around 5pm but I noticed after 6pm people were waiting for seating. The food was delicious! We got $2 chips and salsa off the happy hour menu and the queso con soyrizo (not on HH menu) which was served with warm tortillas. Honestly we probably didn't need all that because the tacos were so good I could've just filled up on more of the tacos, but still was a great meal! I ordered the lengua, pastor, and taco special (breaded shrimp). They were all so good. Think taco quality of a good street taco spot but with the ambiance of a cute tex mex bar. The bartender was great and made a solid marg ($8 on happy hour). You get a great deal on taco Tuesday but I'm sure you'd get great service and quality any day of the week!

Good meal but a lot of work and hassle!…read more Very limited parking. Left side of the building are a few parking spots shared by several businesses. Good luck getting a spot. Then you are driving the neighborhood hoping to find a spot. Finally parked and walked to the restaurant. Host told me it would be 30 minutes but the actual wait was 50 minutes. Spend so much time parking and then waiting, at what point do you give up and leave empty handed? Restaurant is VERY LOUD. Finally got a table and ordered OFF MENU. Server agreed to substitute shrimp for my enchiladas and they were good! Fresh corn tortillas were the highlight. Ordered tres leches cake and enjoyed it too. Was a nice meal but just not worth all the hassle.
