“Always a great time to get a well crafted cocktail.“

“Zac- Fantastic Malachi and Ryan- Incredible Entire staff- Amazing Food and drink- Wonderful Mocktail menu- 10/10 I was there the other night when a girl was on a bad date, the staff moved her over to a safe space and kept an eye on her and the situation while tending to the entire restaurant until her date left. This place is more than a one and done, the people care about you, you are safe, and everything is worth coming back for!“

“Awesome service, pet friendly in outdoor seating area, and the Local Sausage Pizza was fabulous. Thanks Luke and Andrea.“

“It's a 😎 joint. The bartender was rushing us, and when you have a hundred beers, you need some time. I ordered my mac and cheese with no hatch chilies. He said they could make that happen. It didn't happen. The chilies were cooked in it. However, I asked for a hot dog cut up and mixed with the M&C, and they did that. Hubby loved his Ruben and fries. They use rice oil to fry foods. Hubby can't have soy oil; he was super happy about that“

“Great service, fun night!“

“We did the Whitewater rafting and we had a great time Mia was awesome“

“Whiskey neat, old fashions, Irish“

“The Magic Rat brings in great artists across many genres to play in a swanky room with fabulous acoustics. The Delta Sonics were amazing last week! I always like to go through the lobby to see the guitar collection and record collection, admire the chandeliers, and feel the good vibes of The Elizabeth Hotel.“

“Great place! Relaxed atmosphere with superb service. The homemade Bloody Mary's ranked #1 for my taste buds!! Thank you Tim!!“

“Every time I’ve been here it’s been pretty much solely in the year 2025. I was reading some old reviews and was surprised at how negative some of them were by calling it non-inclusive. That may have been true at one point so I won’t discredit those statements and I am a cisgender white man, but I’ve generally been in the minority every time I am there. Lots of people from across the spectrum and while there may be some bashing of people who are trying to take away some of our rights, I would hope that would be expected from a place like this. I won’t get political but figured I’d include that. Regardless, there’s never been any real hate and I’m an awkward dude and get uncomfortable when there’s any tension, and generally haven’t been any more uncomfortable than I usually am. So—for the year 2025, I’d say a lot of the previous negative reviews in 2021 just don’t apply any more or I’m missing some very dramatic days during the work week.“

“great drinks. fun, relaxing atmosphere“

“This is best local spot in town! There’s something for everyone here!“

“Relaxed atmosphere and a great place to grab a relaxing drink“

“Olivia C. is a great waitress! The food and margaritas were so good. The restaurant has a fun vibe.“

“Awesome place to go and meet people play pool and have karaoke night. I love it. 😁😊“

“Definitely the best bar I’ve been too. Very comforting and affordable price for their liquor/beer. I’ve only been here twice and it’s the best bar I’ve been to in Fort Collins hands down. I definitely recommend this bar for a drink or hangout spot. Bartender is very friendly, numerous tvs for sports, pool tables as well. The bar has a nice ledge to put your feet on as well as the chairs being quite comfortable. I haven’t had the food so I can’t rate that or speak on it…“

“Home away from home Nadia is the best!“

“Best venue in northern Colorado!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and views, it's all about the ambience. The tea selection was a little weak and didn't offer milk/sugar options. Food was excellent but heavy on the sweet side for my tastes, would like more savory and did not offer to box up remaining treats.“

“There's one reason I'LL be back, CODY!What a magnificent bartender.I can't believe it took me so long to come visit. Great beer selection! Very impressed by the variety of mezcal. Can't wait to be back. Awesome! Incredible! Outstanding!“

“Cheese curds. Little balls of heaven. Very reasonable prices! Got two orders of fries like an hour apart and both were delicious! Food is consistent. Got them quick too! Boy. Were they good. Just in between a steak fry and regular fry. Soft inside, crispy outside. Perfectly seasoned too!“

“awesome time there tonight“

“11/14/24- went to see a concert here and had a great time. First off this place is super ADA friendly in that they actually have places for people to sit in the performance area. This is great for people that can not stand for a long time and is missing from most of the venues in Colorado. They also had free water set up as a self serve station. This was also super amazing and something that other venues could learn from. I would totally see more shows here. I can't speak to the bar area since I did not drink.“

“Came in after a round of golf for a beee and some sandwiches and OMG the food was amazing! It’s like a craft beer sports bar close to the CSU campus. High top long tables and 8-10 round tables that are repurposed spools for large electrical wire. This place is cool and everything was top notch. Great outdoor seating in front and back too!!“

“Laid back and relaxed! Great drink specials and constant service. You will not go thirsty at High Point.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food, atmosphere and staff are top notch. I’ll definitely be back and if you’ve never been - what are you waiting for?! 😋😎“

“We hosted a CSU Graduation party 5/2023 for about 30 people. Old Town Putt staff could not have been friendlier, accommodating, and helpful!!! This is such a fun place to have a private party. Ours was semi-private, we reserved the patio and game room. Everyone had So Much Fun!! We highly recommend Old Town Putt for a party or any time!“

“We had an incredible brunch, I had the most delicious avocado toast I have ever had! The flavor combination with corn and zucchini made the fish explode with flavor. I am looking forward to having dinner at the farm. Oh an they have chickens❤️“

“The Crown Pub is one of our go-to restaurants in FoCo. The food is great, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. Our kids regularly ask to go there for special occasions.“

“The best best best place for a good hard cider! Any time I go to Colorado, I make sure to stop by. Love the flights and the flavors as well as the atmosphere. 1,000 percent recommend!!“

“This is a fun spot for a late night snack. I love the vibes and the staff were always great. They also serve Kool-aid which is really fun and last time had this yummy refreshing drink with cardamom in it.

There’s a whole vegetarian section which I appreciate. And all the sandwiches have funny names which is kinda cute. I liked the Griefo which came with jalapeño cream cheese on it. The magic mushroom seemed like it needed more sauce.

The loaded not chos were pretty tasty. We really liked the hot sauce on them.“

“Great beer selection, atmosphere, and tasty food, but even better, the nicest people! Nichole took great care of us this evening - thank you!

Vegetarian options: Their apple salad is genuinely really tasty - a good veg option.“

“The staff at Ace Gillett’s is what makes it truly exceptional, but their cocktails are as good as they come - and the food, delicious! It’s a place I consider home. Love it.“

“This place is an excellent escape from the college bar atmosphere!!! They have a very knowledgeable staff and I have been made amazing drinks that aren't even on the menu just from having conversations with the staff on different drink options.
They have fun events to attend throughout the year such as whiskey classes, pumpkin carving and St. Patrick Day celebrations!!
And the bacon!!!!“

“First time at Fort Collins and mu husband want to try some different beer. We stopped for lunch. I had great chicken tenders! My husband did a sampling of 4 flight beers. Enjoyed all 4! He had the burnt end sandwich with sweet potato fries. Meal was great and the service was wonderful! Thank you!“

“It is an awesome local coffee shop that has a nice atmosphere & delicious coffee. Their food looks yummy also, but I haven't tried any. I ordered the cortado & it's nicely done. One of my friends gets the matcha latte & that is usually my go too but they don't have unsweetened dairy free options. That's quite the bummer. Service could be a little friendlier but no biggie, it's not terrible, just not very friendly.“

“The bartender, Ethan, is the best! So nice! He helped recommend drinks to me that I would like. Very friendly, good service, kind smile. Now that Bar District is open on Tuesdays, I can come more often and have a place to dance on my day off.“

“Nothing but love, art, inclusion, tasty food & drinks, in this place!!!!“

“Waiting, Food, Service, Cocktalis Fast, Friendly, Delicious.“

“This small and comfortable bar is a must for those who enjoy a very well made drink at happy hour. The drinks are perfectly strong and constructed with a sophisticated taste in mind. The happy hour apps are great and they offer a wide variety for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. And, they have a few decent beers on tap and solid wine selections if you are not into the cocktails. Ambience and service is top notch. Located just north of Old Town square.“

“Wandered in early on a Monday night. It's a huge place, very well maintained. I imagine it's a huge party when full!“

“La Buena Vida is by far my favorite restaurant in CO! Not only do they have exceptional service, but the food is outstanding!! It’s well presented and full of Michoacán flavors! If you are a foodie this is a MUST!! Margaritas are to die for!!!“

“Great food and amazing service!! Drinks were fabulous and we WILL be back!!!“

“Delicious as always. Their fish tacos are really good, and their nachos are amazing. I would recommend getting chips on the side. It can be a little noisy/echoey if you're staying to eat, but the rooftop seating cuts that down and you get a great view of the city!“

“Very friendly waiters, food was very delicious.“
