“Heather and all things Swing“

“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!“

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

“No compaints- the service was excellent , drinks fantastic (HUGE beer selection if that's your thing), portions large and tasty. They also have an excellent happy hour twice a day and plenty of seating. If you are only eating with one other person get the 1/2 order of nachos- the full order must be enormous based on how big the 1/2 order was. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“awesome time there tonight“

“Wobble HiFi bar is a killer addition to Old Town. Drinks are good, but ambiance is the star of the show. It’s exactly what I want in a (bougie) bar—low lights, amazing sound system, solid music choice, great interior, comfortable seats. Wobble def my new favorite hangout in Fort Collins.“

“Great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the espresso martini was even better. Enjoyed the patio! Our server did an excellent job making sure our food & drinks were perfect. Drove from Cheyenne, Wy for brunch . We will definitely be back!“

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

“New restaurant review: Who: Indigo Where: 144 N Mason St UNIT 8, Fort Collins, CO 80524 ( underneath the parking garage at the intersection of Laporte & Mason) About them: This is a brand new upscale Indian cuisine concept that has been open since July 4th 2025. The Feed.... Main items ordered: Signature Grilled Indigo Lobster - fresh tail Grilled with garlic and herbs served with drawn butter, rice and a small Julianne style fresh vegetable slaw. Goat Chettina - slow cooked meat in a chettina style black pepper with coconut curry. Palak Paneer - Cottage cheese cubes in a very smooth spinach sauce Bread: Garlic Naan Rosemary Naan Drinks: Spicy Mango Mule (Mocktail) Coke Dessert: Rose Rosmalai - soft sleeve dumplings soaked in fragrant rose scented saffron milk. The Experience: We had walked by this place waiting for it to open for weeks and were happy to see people eating there this weekend so we gave it a try. We were greeted by one of the owners and sat at a corner table of our choosing. As we looked over the menu we spoke with Nishant about some of the items on the menu as well as the overall idea behind this concept. He told us that their goal was to open up a space that was unlike any other In town with an emphasis on food quality, execution and attention to detail. Our drinks were served and I will see it took a little more time than normal to get them but not the end of the world.. The star of the show was the food. Where to start.... The lobster dish not only was plated well but the flavors on the tails were amazing. Grilled perfectly and the protein was not rubbery so they know how to cook this. The goat Chettina was well presented with my only criticism being that I had to navigate some very big and small bones but the meat was very tender and well flavored. The sauces are unique to each dish as as anyone who has been to Indian restaurants will tell you... alot of the times this is not the case.. They build these flavor profiles separately and each stands alone as its own unique dish which makes this place different. The Palek Paneer hands down is the best representation of this type of dish I have ever had. The freshness of the cheese is one thing but the silky smooth finish of the spinach... WOW... My big complaint about this dish at the places I have been is that the cheese gets granular with a sandy type finish. Not here. This was fresh, smooth and just melted in your mouth with each bite.. when you add the extra flavor texture of the spinach to this its a home run. The Naan's were thinner than I am used to but very good just different.. The fresh Rosemary was just incredible. That hit your nose as soon as they brought the food out. Freshly cut too. The Rose Rosmalai was just great and something we had never tried before and to say it continues the theme of uniqueness that we found at this restaurant would be an understatement. The cheese dumplings were great but the rose forward smell and the saffron milk together just made for a perfect flavor explosion... what a great way to end the meal. Overall Impressions: They are new, they are young and they are here to prove that you can be unique in this space which is difficult but not impossible. Everything we had here was different than anything we have had at other Indian restaurants so as long as they continue this level of execution the people will come.. they are going to be successful. Their food preparation and quality are already at a very high level. They are meeting the moment and a few small things aside this is as close to culinary perfection as one can get. As a resprentation of several parts of India I would say they know their food and their menu reflects this so there is something here for everyone. Thank you to the two owners A.J. & Nishant for their hard work and for taking the time to talk with us. We wish you nothing but continued success. You will do well and this is a welcomed and unique addition to the Fort Collins food scene. Indigo is definitely a 1 of 1 Happy eating !“

“Whiskey neat, old fashions, Irish“

“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.“

“We went here for our anniversary and had a great meal. We tried the crabcakes appetizer, excellent, ribeye's and baked potatoes also excellent, even split a piece of cheesecake to finish things off. Every thing was great. I can't forget to mention our server, Tony. He provided the best service and even though he had a table of 16 come in after we ordered, he still found time to come back and check on us. This might be one of the best places I've ever had a meal. Thanks for a great evening.“

“Great service, fun night!“

“Magic Rat Presents: The Honey Roses,
FINALLY a venue that does true justice to the awesome talent of the five members. Great job to the sound engineer and of course fantastic job as always to The Honey Roses ready to share their artistry with those who want to experience a roof blown clean off... Anyone looking to hire a great band for your next venue, look no further. . . The Honey Roses will not disappoint.“

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

“There’s 6 of us in our family and ALL agree Cheba Hut is #1 in Fort Collins! Possibly the US but we haven’t ventured far from local, lol. The Griefo is BOMB! The White Willow is my husband fav, and seriously there’s not a bad thing on the menu !“

“For over 20 years now, LJs has been a regular hangout for me. I’ve met many people there and look forward to the next 20. (If Deano can still hang with us at 86 yo, then so can I!!) Their food menu has a nice variety and daily specials are always well done. This pub truly emanates a feeling of family. It’s amazing how many long-term employees are there, which is a direct reflection of the ownership and managers caring for their staff and customers. If you’ve never been to LJs or you’re just visiting FC, please stop in and join us for a pint! Cheers and Slainte!!“

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

“This is truly one of my favorite places in town! It’s just such a great place to get a beer and some grub. Truly an awesome spot to hang! We watched the broncos come back from a 26 point deficit and I wouldn’t want to watch it anywhere else!! I highly recommend this bar to anyone!!“

“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!“

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

“Had an amazing time at the bar joking around with staff and patrons. Everyone seemed to know each other and were very welcoming. Great prices. Loved the whiskey Mexican coffee on tap. Best bacon wrapped jalapenos I've ever had. Definitely get the Pint O Bacon.“

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

“Great atmosphere to listen to local bands and grab a drink with friends! Good food located locally around with other bars and restaurants in short walking distance. If youre looking for a local show, good merch, and a well served drink the sound bar will have your back 👍.“

“This is my favorite pub in FoCo. Fantastic beer selection, awesome patio, and that dive-y feel. The food is pretty great too, love the smash burgers and cheese curds. It's my favorite patio to sit on in the winter around the fire pits and in the summer just enjoying the evening.“

“I've been here before and back.

All workers are emaculant. Love this place!

We need a group Backpacking trip 3 day and 7 days.

I met many excellent folks over at the Trail Head

Management always emaculant and all the hard worker's.

You all treat me with respect and appreciate it as I'm with you.

God bless Trailhead !

You all“

“How often do you find a dedicated gluten free kitchen AND absolutely mouthwatering tasty food? this is the only place I've found that I will eat anything without reservation as someone with Celiac, and the food is 10/10. they also have super tasty cider, live performances, and a super cool vibe. this has quickly become my favorite haunt!“

“Had brunch there today and every bite we tried was delicious!! The drinks were phenomenal, service was outstanding and made us feel completely comfortable even tho we had never been there before. The location is beautiful! From the actual restaurant, to the garden, chicken coop, patio, barbershop, saloon, ice cream parlor, boutique, & coffee shop; everything fits perfectly together. Highly recommend and we will DEFINITELY be back!“

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

“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 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.“

“Awesome views and great employees, located on the fifth floor of the new Elizabeth Hotel in downtown FoCo. Kyle and Dan were ace.

The place serves expert cocktails in the retro style and a few small plates (honestly go downstairs to the Emporium if you want dinner, this is the place for cocktails and small bites).

Lately every time we go we see Mark Sloniker doing his jazz and blues. He's always good.“

“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!“

“Best venue in northern Colorado!“

“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?! 😋😎“

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

“Elliot’s is by far my favorite bar in Fort Collins, if not Colorado. The drinks are always so so so good, and they’re even willing to make my now off menu favorite (Clockwork Orange, try it). The staff have always been so friendly and welcoming, and the back patio is by far the best seat in the house. I can’t wait to go back.“

“I went to Illegal Pete's to play trivia. I had a great time. I had the Baja fish tacos, chips & guac and a spicy margarita. They were ally very good especially for the price point. We sat upstairs on the roof and we were fortunate the weather was beautiful. I really loved the casual, comfortable vibe of the place. I will definitely go back.“

“The waiter, Ryan did an outstanding job taking care of us. Everything came out quickly and was very delicious!“

“Have you met Rachael?? She is the bartender who took care of me. She was on point! The California heat tacos were fantastic!! I had mine prepared with the tempura shrimp, with a nice shot of butt burning habanero sauce. The sides were black beans with the cilantro rice. The rice was the perfect texture to accent the cilantro flavor. I mixed the beans in cause I’m that guy!! All around 5 stars.“

“Came in on a Saturday it wasn’t very busy but the bartender jazzy was so cool she put on two different games I wanted to watch on the TVs and she made great drinks! Best bartender I’ve had in awhile. No food is the only downside. Would recommend to watch a game or get a cheap drink!“

“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!!!“

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