It is truly a hidden gem. We were there for a date night, but to be honest a friends night out would be the best here. There are lots of different types of spaces in this adorable gem!

Man what happened to this place…read more. Jasmine used to be my favorite bar in the area. They provided a varied menu with incredibly unique and delicious drinks with an upscale yet cozy vibe inside. However our last visit was anything but. Supposedly they've made the decision to drop the entire "old menu" as the bartender called it in favor for an uninspired and honestly boring Christmas menu with drinks that weren't even remotely on the level of their previous offerings. Yet the prices were actually higher than their standards. This current menu feels like something you'd pay $11 for at a dive or chain restaurant. After a relatively long wait for service, we ordered 3 drinks, having to repeat ourselves multiple times to the hostess that didn't seem to have any clue of what their drinks were called. Of the 3, none of them included the garnishes that were outlined in the menu, and one drink was completely wrong. We were allowed to keep it and had it replaced at no cost at least, but even the replacement did not have the correct garnish per the menu. I'm praying this place didn't sell out and it's just in some strange transition period between seasons but I won't be returning to check until some time after the new year and these awful drinks are gone. For now, go to Nora's.

Wow. Just wow…read more Nora's Speakeasy might be one of my favorite cocktail spots ever. The vibe is dark, elegant, and cool without trying too hard -- it really feels like a secret hideout (but in the best way). Drinks? Insanely good. Their "Nora's Version" menu reimagines classic cocktails with modern twists, and every single one we tried was a hit. Balanced, bold, and beautifully crafted. Food is simple but hits the spot -- charcuterie, grilled cheese, and pretzel bites that pair perfectly with the cocktails. Bonus: You get a welcome sip when you arrive! Such a fun touch that set the tone for a great night. Run, don't walk. Louisville, you've got something really special here.

This place had SUCH good vibes, I was surprised to find it! It's on the main road in Louisville…read morewhich is just around the corner from Boulder. I saw it had good ratings online; unfortunately I came on a day my stomach was already bothering me but I wanted to have a look. It's a very low light, date night vibe inside. The barista was super friendly, and I saw online they'd had a very sweet cocktail from a few years back - I asked her about it and she didn't have all the ingredients but offered to make me something similar. I declined because I felt like i shouldn't be drinking with my stomach feeling off, but it's exactly the type of place I like to check out, the menu was cool. I will definitely try to make it back one of these days when passing back through the area! Also had lots of free street parking all along the main road ~

I usually love this place and typically get great service here, which is why this experience was…read moredisappointing. I met a friend at the bar and arrived around 6 PM. After sitting down, about 10 minutes went by without anyone acknowledging me. I eventually had to wave someone down just to ask if I could get a drink, and the response was that they hadn't seen me there. Later, when my drink was empty, I had to wave someone down again to order another. When my friend and I decided we wanted appetizers, we once again had to flag someone down to place the order. This was on a Tuesday night and there were only about 6-7 people sitting at the bar, which is a pretty slow night for them. To be fair, once we did receive our drinks and appetizers, everything was excellent as usual. However, the service throughout the night felt inattentive. I stayed from about 6 PM until 8:15 PM, so it wasn't a quick stop, it was a full evening, and the lack of attentiveness stood out. I still enjoy this place and the food and drinks are great, but on a slower night the service really should be more attentive. Every customer deserves to feel acknowledged and taken care of.

First time in Louisville and /pôr/ Wine House absolutely stole the show!…read more From the moment we walked in, everything felt intentional -- the service, the drinks, the food. The space is cozy yet elevated, perfect for a date night or catching up with friends over a great bottle of wine. Highlights? The bacon-wrapped dates (stuffed with house chorizo!) were next-level. The roasted beets with pomegranate molasses were fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced. And the charred beef tagliata? Chef's kiss. Cocktails were just as impressive. "Blueberry Skies" was bright and layered, and the Aperol Spritz was honestly one of the best I've ever had -- citrusy, bubbly, and not too sweet. If you're looking for a spot that nails both ambiance and flavor, this is it. Will 100% be back!

I highly recommend the marshmallow stout and my buddy had the Mexican style lager which was full bodied and delicious as well. Autumn was our bartender and she was a sweetheart with great service.

Acreage by Stem Ciders ended up being one of the places that helped us fall in love with Denver…read more My girlfriend and I first visited while we were in town trying to decide if we wanted to move here. A friend recommended Acreage, so after a long day in Boulder, hiking and walking around town, we stopped by on a Saturday evening. And honestly, it lived up to the hype and then some. The setting is what really makes this place special. It was busy with what felt like a true local crowd--families, kids, groups of friends--all hanging out. There's a huge outdoor area with picnic table-style seating, plus some indoor space, but the real star is the view. The mountain backdrop is unreal, and the sunset we caught that night was one of those "okay, we could live here" moments. They do take reservations, and I'd highly recommend making one if you're going on a weekend. We loved it so much that we've been back twice since, once while apartment hunting and again after we moved, when we brought family to show them one of the spots that sold us on Denver. For a cider-focused spot, the food seriously overdelivered. The soft pretzels are next level--three per order and perfect for sharing. Everyone gets their own and is happy. The roasted baby carrots were just okay and probably something I'd skip next time. The Jalapeño Caesar with added chicken is really solid, and the winter salad (also with chicken) was a huge portion and great if you want something a bit lighter/greener. The Lafayette cheesesteak sandwich, though, has been the standout for me--top tier. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich and this one absolutely delivered. There are still a few things on the menu I'm looking forward to trying next time. And of course, the cider. I'm not a big beer guy and neither is my girlfriend, so this place is perfect if you're looking for an alternative. I'd definitely recommend doing a flight. They've got a wide range--from fruitier options like blueberry and apricot (crowd favorites) to drier ciders, which I tend to prefer. They also rotate some unique options--recently we tried a salted cucumber cider that was great and quite refreshing. My personal favorite is the Banjo series, which is aged in bourbon barrels. It has a subtle bourbon flavor that makes it super unique and really enjoyable. All in all, Acreage is more than just a cider spot--it's an experience. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the surprisingly great food and drinks, it's become one of our go-to places!

Mostly great things on our first visit here…read more bison burger - proper portion for the price and cooked perfectly med rare pastrami sand - 5 stars : I'm pretty picky with pastrami, it was excellent! the marbled rye was 'real' (aka the good stuff) and the pastrami had a nice smoke on it. chicken and waffles - 3 stars : good portion, pretty much the 'standard' stuff here, over cooked the fried chicken bbq platter - 4 stars : proper portion for the price, nice flavor on the meat. Service - 4.5 stars : table servers were fantastic (Mike is a great guy!). Looses half star since the kitchen is pretty slow, 40 mins to get our meal and they were not busy when we got there. I think they were also understaffed since the servers were crazy all over busy. Ambience - 5 stars : really cool setup overall, visually interesting too.

A long natural wood table on the second floor - indoor seating with a nice evening breeze coming from the windows. The appetizers we shared were all really good and the entrees were solid. Artichoke Dippin - Spinach and Artichoke Dip - the dip was cheesy and seasoned well to go with bread, cucumber slices, and carrot sticks. Big visible pieces of spinach and artichoke. Not Your Average Pickle - Fried Pickles - nice crispy batter but the pickles still had crunch Onion Rings or French Fries? - I thought these were both well fried, but giving it to the onion rings - these were perfect - couldn't have asked for a better one. Crispy Fish Sandwich - reminiscent of a fillet o' fish but with better ingredients. Comes with Thousand Island dipping sauce. Colorado Bison Burger - cooked nicely to medium, good flavor - wish the patty was salted a little more. Fried Okra - standard fried okra item - solid Worth noting - a dish I didn't try, but one of my friends ordered a Steak Street Mac & Cheese and barely touched it - they said the steak was overcooked and significantly under-seasoned. Our server (Ren?) was extremely attentive and just a fun person. Thanks for the awesome service. I thought Waterloo did a great job with standard pub fare and sprinkled in some fun twists and unique dishes to their menu. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
