I remember when Bookbar occupied this space many moons ago. I used to like that place a lot. Well, I'm also beginning to like the new life My Boy Tony has brought here. It caters to a younger crowd, whether you're bar hopping on Tennyson with a group or looking for a spot to take a hot date. For better and worse, it's a neighborhood bar at its core. The most shocking thing is how they transformed the space from the previous tenants. It has a beautiful open layout with nice furniture and design. The bartenders are generally friendly and prices are in line with similar cocktail bars in Denver. The few times I've been here I've been in a cocktail mood. Negronis and Old Fashioneds are made well and are slow sippers I enjoy. They do have a nice selection of wines that I'll have to try when it tickles my fancy. The only hiccups here for me are some really long wait times for drinks. They usually have two bartenders and sometimes it gets really backed up. No one is running the floor when I've been there bussing and wiping down tables. Though I understand with a location here it can go from being empty to completely slammed in a matter of minutes! If you're looking for a cool, comfortable bar without the pretentiousness or judgment, check out My Boy Tony.

While we ended up getting different drinks, I have no doubt the espresso martini is yummy. My husband went for the Old Fashioned and I opted for As the Crow Flies - both were very tasty. Not cheap though - about $14 a pop. They had a wide beer selection and a few NA options, which I'm looking forward to trying as they sounded good. The bartender was friendly and skilled. We ended up sitting inside because it was a bit too hot for us, but others were on the patio and it did have ample seating and shade; will likely be lovely in a few weeks. The decor inside was clean with comfortable seating and a variety of bar seats and low tables. They also had virtual golf - an interesting mix. My one complaint is the amount of televisions. It had the amount I'd expect at a sports bar but way above sports bar prices. They could get away with removing 1-2 and still catering to the same crowd while appealing to those (like me) who don't want to have to sit in a corner and strategically place the chairs just to not have to look at a screen.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

It felt…read morelike having a private cocktail lounge all to ourselves--complete with two insanely talented mixologists who seemed like they could read minds. Their drink game? Next level. You can tell them your mood, your favorite band, or throw out something totally off the wall (like "green lightning")--and they'll craft something magical on the spot. I decided to take a nostalgic turn and asked for something inspired by an Orange Julius. What I got was a grown-up version of the classic, creamy and citrusy, powered by the unexpected kick of Singani 63 (a Bolivian brandy I didn't know I needed in my life). Totally nailed it. Super refreshing with just the right buzz. They've got a few small bites if the munchies kick in, and the selection of spirits, garnishes, and creativity behind the bar is seriously impressive. Think genie-in-a-bottle energy: whatever you crave, they bring it to life. Also... the view from this cozy, tucked-away spot? Not too shabby at all.

After listening to my preferences of alcohol and allergies, she asked if I wanted my cocktail to be spirit or citrus forward. Sign me up for spirit! She brought me a lovely concoction of tequila with several different bitters, giving the drink more depth and complexity. Space is limited so I highly recommend making a reservation. We had already eaten at their restaurant at the front but OK Yeah does serve hand rolls that I must try when I go back.

It can get loud as it fills up, but not overly so. The stars of the night were the service and food! Delightfully irreverent but never forgetting that this is an elevated experience. The service was amazing. Friendly, fun, helpful and ever present. The food though was AMAZING. We opted for the walk with us where you pick the main & then you get all the apps & deserts on the menu. Absolute heaven! We had the Halibut and the pork belly Bo SSAM (lettuce wraps). Both were to die for! But another star of the show was the shaken chef rice. It's hard to explain, but made for one of the most surprisingly amazing things I've eaten in a while. Then the evening ended with red miso ice cream with chocolate shell, banana brule and other wonderful toppings. This place deserves their Michelin recognition for sure!

Specials were shown on a polaroid, which was pretty cute. I thought that the concept of having the "Walk with Us" option was pretty cool - you choose your entree and then get to try the rest of the menu. We did not choose this option but it was very enticing as there were many options on the menu that looked yummy. We started with the oysters, then hamachi, and smacked cucumbers. We've tried many places in Denver but apparently smashed cucumbers are a tall order because Hey Kiddo finally mastered it - not too vinegary, too salty, or too spicy. It was a perfect mix of all 3. For main eats, my husband and I shared the Pork Belly Bo Ssam, Shaken Chef Rice, and Popcorn Chicken. The pork belly was awesome, very flavorful. Popcorn chicken was airy and had a decent amount of chicken to breading ratio. Shaken chef rice was a little heavy but still tasty. Overall, the food was great and we really enjoyed it. However, I could not get passed the 20% service charge added to the bill and gratuity was expected on top of that. The food itself is a bit pricey, would only go for a special occasion but to essentially pay 40% gratuity is something I cannot do again. Sadly, I would not return just because of it.

A friend sent me a flyer that a local DJ was having an all vinyl set here with funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul - some of my favorite genres and hard to find, especially in vinyl in Denver, where electronic dance music is a bigger culture I had the best time, the music was great. I even introduced myself to the DJ as someone who moved here recently and began following his Instagram so that I can come to other nights like this. The cocktails were delicious and very unique, I can guarantee you've never seen a sour cream and onion martini on a menu before. I don't have big enough balls for that yet so I opted for a guava sour and was so delighted at what I got. They use a Pea foam instead of egg whites and I could not tell the difference. The guava flavor was so strong and present, perfectly balanced for the drink. I also tried the infante -- or at least a version of it, I asked if there was any way to make it the same as the sour with the foam, and our server told us the bartender would whip me up a unique concoction that was similar to that. It was such an original drink. Everything was so yummy. The place is in a perfect little corner spot tucked away in Sunnyside, residential, but feels fun. Definitely can't wait to come back.
