“Need a date spot where you can talk about books and music you love? How about a quiet, beautiful nook to have a heart to heart with your bestie? You can even bring your whole family and friends to host a baby shower— like I maybe did. 😄 This place is so welcoming and cozy, truly unique for a space in Denver. Named after a cute corner of Brooklyn, Fort Greene bar has the NY charm. Hands down favorite bar in the city. ❤️“

“The food here is absolutely delicious, from their oysters to the crab cakes to their octopus, everything is amazing.
We usually go here during their happy hour and get both raw and grilled oysters (I recommend the devil’s butter) and then something off of their main menu as well.
Their drink deals are great as well, and the vibe in the restaurant is laid back but the food smacks you into thinking it’s a fancy pants place.“

“Improper City is one of the few places that actually have a non alcoholic on tap along with local non alcoholic beers. Great place to enjoy the nice weather as one of best patios in Rino.“

“Rhianna and the rest of the staff are awesome !!!“

“My DU student and I recommend everything! The food is amazing (I recommend the eggplant Ragu), the price is right, and the family that owns and works are lovely and want everyone to be happy and to enjoy their food. It’s amazing!“

“Lovely atmosphere and awesome and inventive expresso martini’s. The bar tenders were awesome and attentive and even gave us a complimentary martini after he overheard us talking about wanting to try it but we had already reached our budget. A bit pricey at 20$ a pop, but we had a lovely time. Perfect for a special occasion!“

“Bartenders are more commonly known for their mixology here, and it’s easy to see why. This isn’t your typical bar—it’s a place where grown folks come to enjoy expertly crafted cocktails made the way they’re meant to be. Every drink had its own special touch, and you can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft.

The atmosphere is perfect for a date, with a relaxed setting that’s quiet enough for conversation. The personal attention and attentive service make the experience feel even more welcoming. If you’re looking for quality cocktails over a loud party scene, this is definitely a place worth visiting.“

“This is by far my favorite place to go with my gal pals or bring out of town visitors. James the bartender always provides extraordinary customer service and delicious cocktails. The views are great. The vibes are on point. And even though seating can be hard to find, standing is so worth it to experience this rooftop.“

“Read below for my review I put on Beli, but I did want to shoutout Nelly (I hope I got the spelling right) as she took phenomenal care of my girlfriend and I was and was personable and fun!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now and absolutely LOVED it! Everything was so so good and the presentations were stunning. All staff was so attentive and friendly and knowledgeable and gave Heather and I a phenomenal experience. Not to mention the really neat modern upscale yet laid-back vibe, this is totally my kind of place. Whoever was on aux was CRUSHING it too - it was almost like they were playing my playlist. 10/10 EZ I’ll def need to come back and try their other menus.

Apparently they have a $12 burger? Def gonna need to try that.“

“My favorite coffee shop in Denver. Can't wait to go back!“

“I’m a big fan of neighborhood bars, and this one is definitely a keeper! The atmosphere is great, and the drinks are all so unique. It’s a small spot, but it feels super cozy. And the Italian sub hot dog… it’s absolutely delicious.“

“Nestled in The Rally Hotel McGregor Square across from Coors Field, Call Me Pearl is true gem!! Hip, fun, welcoming, we had such a great experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and service 5 star. We enjoyed some specialty cocktails and one of each of the happy hour specials. Don’t miss the $1 oysters and the delicious sliders. With the warmer weather, McGregor Square is going to be rocking! Make this a must visit this summer! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“Held a 70’s themed baby shower here last weekend and it was perfect!! This place is so chic and the staff was amazing. Drinks and food were on point. We had so much fun!“

“Beautiful open space, great for large groups with lots of couches and views and a large bar. Only downside is no sound absorbing walls/floors/ceiling and the large main room gets quite loud. The smaller west room is quieter with ample seating and a cozy fireplace.“

“This part of terminal c kind of stinks.

My gripe with this location: No sugar free drinks... Prices are high even for an airport. The menu feels like it may be designed for like larger groups, or groups of 4. Got the chili. It was ok for an airport.“

“Excellent food!! Friendly service!!!“

I wish I could give it ten stars!!!“

“Very Cool bar and good people“

“This place is amazing starting from the incredible experience with Robin whom went above and beyond to Coordinate an amazing event. Meegan and Orlando were so incredibly personable! I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food was great. I got to meet the awesome serving team and head chef, everyone was kind and made sure to check on us. I watched all the staff work together to make sure our food for a party of 40 was delivered quickly. I appreciate you all for everything you did to make it a successful event and for the hard work everyone puts in here. From our team to yours cheers🥂!“

“My husband and I did a distillery tour and tasting at Stranahan's that was excellent. Chris was a fantastic guide. We had a great time and enjoyed learning about the history of the distillery, Stranahan's various whiskeys and how it makes them, and the distillery's involvement in the community. We had fun with the tastings and took home a few bottles. Thanks Chris!“

“5/5 for sure. Like nothing else I’ve ever had before. I throughly enjoyed every bit of my meal!“

“High-quality cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“sylvia the owner knows mexican food better than all of colorado, with a mezcal bar that is not easy to find - this place is great for tourists and native mexicans will agree - adelita's is the best food and best bar menu in all of denver, plus the owner is a really great friend to my community and has donated a lot of food to support my loved ones networks . I recommend this restaurant for it's flawless history, the atmosphere, and the large authentic menu which can be previewed online“

“OMG! What a great experience“

“So much fun! With the best service to the decor this place did not miss … and they validate your garage parking Special shoutout to The manager Savannah who was soooo friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Along with Sidney our bartender Noe our server 10/10 Must check out!“

“omg, you have to find this place. text ahead to make reservations. the hostesses and our sever Liam were great. Liam recommended the perfect drink for me. just tell him what you're in the mood for, and he'll zero in on a perfect drink. You sure feel like you're in the 20s and doing something you shouldn't be doing when trying to find the place to walking down the dingy halls to the bar itself. Worth it. Great for date night. Note: just do what you're told, have patience, and a have a great time.“

“Best ramen EVER! We stumbled upon Uncle over a decade ago, and since then anytime we’re in CO we come for dinner. The spicy chicken ramen is hands down the best, love all of the bao buns, eggplant is my favorite, but can’t go wrong with crab or pork belly ones either. We’ve never had anything bad, service is always great too! Be sure to make a reservation.“

“We had a great experience at La Foret. The drinks and the food were amazing! The staff was amazing! The were kind, accommodating, friendly, and funny. We will definitely stop there again when we are in Denver.“

“Amazing cocktail experience! Fun cool local spot. Smoky drink had a great presentation - came in a little lantern!“
