“Long review in coming

We recently stopped into Elevated Q for lunch without knowing much about it, and I must say, it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Discovering that it is a locally owned BBQ smokehouse made the experience even better.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the new General Manager, Chris, whose friendliness and hospitality immediately stood out. His welcoming demeanor set the tone for the entire visit. The restaurant itself features a well-executed industrial rustic design, creating a comfortable yet stylish atmosphere. The bar seating is especially inviting, with a great view of the TVs, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the game.

Chris also proved to be highly knowledgeable behind the bar. He crafted a whiskey drink that was exceptional—so much so that, had it not been lunchtime, we likely would have stayed much longer to try more of his recommendations.

For food, we were introduced to a “secret menu” item: garlic butter buffalo wings. These were outstanding and, in my opinion, deserving of a permanent spot on the menu. The loaded BBQ fries were another highlight—rich, flavorful, and truly satisfying.

I ordered the Pitmaster Platter, featuring pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage. Both meats were well-prepared and enjoyable, though the pulled pork could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The spicy BBQ sauce, however, added a great kick and complemented the dish nicely. My wife chose the loaded baked potato, which was generously portioned and topped with brisket that was incredibly tender—practically melting with each bite.

Overall, Elevated Q clearly knows what it’s doing when it comes to both food and hospitality. As a lighthearted note, Chris did make one “mistake”—he didn’t have the Masters on the big screen—but we’ll let that slide.

We look forward to returning soon. And while we didn’t manage to take photos this time (the food was too good to wait), that just gives us another reason to come back.“

“A speakeasy vibe, classic and modern cocktails, and movie nerds: what more could you want? Even if I'm not seeing a movie, I frequently just stop to see what new cocktails are on the menu. The staff are so excited about great drinks and great (or bad) movies, the experience is always awesome.“

“Great vibe, amazing cocktails, fabulous bartenders (looking at you, Hayden).“

“Great Charcuterie Boards, and an excellent Espresso Martini. Angela Neri, the owner, pays keen attention to detail.“

“Place was fresh would deff go again“

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

“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. ❤️“

“I have been here NUMEROUS times. It’s my friend and I’s favorite place to go! As usual the drinks were ✨ chef’s kiss ✨ and the experience was unmatched. Vibes completely immaculate, music choice was impeccable, and overall 11/10. My friend and I who are frequent patrons were so excited to take our three friends and hyping the place up and it was not a disappointment in the slightest. Our night surpassed all expectations we set for them! Derek was an absolute riot in the best way and made our night fun and memorable! He was exactly what the table needed & wanted & we are so appreciative. A huge THANK YOU for making my birthday feel great!“

“This place is THE SPOT for a jaw dropping espresso martini experience. I had to go with the flight to get a taste of a few, but now I can't wait to come back and try more. They pay very close attention to every detail and make it a very memorable experience.“

“I have been going to Ballmer Peak on Green Mountain for a while now and have LOVED it, but I went to the second location on Sheridan and Alameda for the first time this evening. They have created a beautiful, warm and inviting space with the same great beverages and excellent staff. I can't recommend a visit enough!“

“We had our pre-wedding welcome party at Pretty Neat, and it was the perfect experience! We’ve been coming here since they first opened and absolutely love the entire team.

Xanthus was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and did a fantastic job bartending our event. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is always top-notch. I highly recommend Pretty Neat to anyone looking for a great space for a gathering!“

“Very Cool bar and good people“

“We had been here in the past an had already really enjoyed service, environment, and food so we went in to get breakfast on the day we were eloping. Not only was the staff extremely nice and attentive they all said congratulations and seemed happy to serve us. Additionally the staff provided us with a complimentary dessert dish that was very well prepared and delicious!“

“Great product. Nice people. My extremely discerning guests have confirmed that the ease of serving this Classic Manhattan has not compromised its quality. I keep this product on hand to welcome unexpected guests and to offer a quality cocktail at impromptu gatherings.“

“Amazing food, service, ambiance and happy hour. Not to mention service! My family and baby were treated with kindness with a last minute reservation on a Friday night. Caleb, Dior and our server were fantastic, as a former restaurant worker it's a rarity to be taken care of with this much attention. Thank you guys, can't wait to come back!“

“My book club went in during valentines wknd and I’m sure our server was disappointed we decided to order ala carte rather than their $$ tasting menu but she was very gracious and gave us great service nonetheless. We ordered a wide variety of things and while I didn’t try everything - the katsu was a hit, the mushrooms and calamari were also good…the hummus plate on the other hand was a slap in the face. It was maybe a tablespoon of hummus with a few scraps of bread. On the topic of cheap toast - the GF focaccia was literally just toast. Not sure why you would force focaccia to be GF and then do such a bad job of it. For a higher end restaurant, they either need to remove that item or do it justice. Drinks were great & they seemed to have a good wine selection.“

“Gorgeous place with amazing drinks and top-notch service!“

“Fantastic dining experience. Worth the trip every time!“

“High-quality cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“OMG! What a great experience“

“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.“

“Love this venue. Crafted cocktails good sound“

“Great new place!! Super location knowledgeable staff. Cozy and urban.“

“A very fun venue! If you're trying to dance the night away or relax with some friends, this location is very chill and has a lot of good vibes.“

“CASH ONLY - but they have an atm.
5 star dive bar with karaoke on Saturday nights. You can get pitchers for $5. They have pool tables and a large space with lots of seating. The bathrooms are small but fairly clean, the staff is welcoming and fun.“

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

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

“Such a great place to stop in and have a drink. Cool, chill vibes inside with a nice light and open space. I was chatting all about my wedding this summer and the guys behind the bar loved it. Appreciate the great customer service, will return!“

“This is one of my favorite places in Denver. Get the Froze - trust me. It will become your go to drink. The beet hummus is delicious. There isn't a great view of the mountains, but the atmosphere is still good. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, even when they are adequately staffed, but it's still a great scene and perfect place to bring out of town guests.“

“Awesome place to try out if you are ever in town“

“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.“

“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.“

“Interesting elevated cocktails and snappy dogs all in a chill environment. This is the catch all bar. You can have a $5 beer or a $16 incredibly well crafted cocktail. Hot dogs served late with a natural casing. Server was super friendly tonight. Never had a bad service experience.“

“Such a rare gem for connecting and enjoying an evening together! I'm a whiskey drinker and they have a very unique collection. The bartender let me taste before deciding. That never happens anymore!!!!! So appreciative of the amazing food and service ❤️“
