Well worth dropping in for exquisite martinis handcrafted in this darkly moody but welcoming bar. Right in the heart of Old Town it has the perfect location for dinner or after dinner drinks. Extensive martini and craft cocktail list. We happened to drop in on "Dirty Wednesday" when the majority of drinks on the special menu were only $9! We sampled some pretty smooth dirty martinis with variations of added hot sauce or blue cheese but the standout was the Green Bean Dirty Martini a house original and a briny surprise! Friendly and attentive bartenders and even friendlier patrons to chat to at the bar. Highly recommended. read more

The drinks were amazing, but what really made the experience great was our lovely server Katie. She was so accommodating and wonderful, SHE is the reason we will be coming back. The menu was creative and fresh. They have an outside patio which was a huge plus. Thank you Katie!! See you soon! read more

Small but cute martini bar. Recommended by a friend, I've been here a handful of times over the past few years and they have some fun martinis and decent tapas to snack on while you enjoy some chill vibes. Service is ok, not terrible. Martinis don't always taste the same but I assume its due to a mixture of bartenders and how they choose to make the drink. Not sure if its the change in seasons but I've noticed a lot of bugs. Overall not a bad place to get a crafty martini. read more

We were on the hunt for after dinner martinis and multiple locals pointed us here. It did not disappoint! Robust martini list and friendly service. The space was dark and chill, just like a good martini bar should be. Martinis were delish. Highly recommend! read more

We went to Elliots last weekend 6/28. I researched bars to go to previous to our trip and I'm so glad we checked this place out. We sat outside and had a beautiful view of old town, it was such a nice ambience! Their menu is hilarious, we had a lot of fun just reading all the drinks on the list. I was torn between two different martinis so the server suggested his favorite of the two and he nailed it. I got The Secret Garden and honestly I could have had a couple more if we weren't going someplace else after. My husband got My horse died, I nearly drowned and his was great too. This was such a cute place, our server was great and it was a great vibe! Definitely check it out! read more

Elliot's offers a great, unique menu and a cozy ambience - great when it's super busy or on a quiet night! Their menu includes some super out there items (like green bean vodka) and clever drink names. The service is quick and friendly as well. read more

Nicest staff, wonderful drinks, great food, and beautiful decor!! Always love the movies they project on the back wall.

This has become my new "hey, want to meet for drinks?" spot. The staff has always been friendly, their tapas are yummy (try the baked Brie with raspberry jam... you won't be disappointed.) And of course the drinks are delicious! I highly recommend the Milf & Cookies as well as the Key Lime martinis read more

Cute martini bar in old town Fort Collins! We stopped in on our moms night out to try this place and we were happy we did. Sadly we got there too late to try any appetizers, I think we arrived around midnight. We both had a martini. I had the lemon drop which was yummy and I'm horrible and forgot which my friend tried but it was real good (I think it was one with coffee!) read more

After a long 8 hour "half day" at work, I met up with a friend at Elliot's - another wonderful bar I haven't frequented in over seven years. We got out of the blistering cold wind and immediately got a seat at the warm and cozy bar with dim lighting. After perusing the expansive drink menu for a bit, I spotted the Thai Me Up. I'm obsessed with Thai tea, so sign me up! Silky smooth, gently sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, and a nice Thai tea flavor, this baby left my glass fast! We also grabbed some sizzling Brie topped with caramelized onions, and the Italian meatballs, which were both brought out by the sweet owner. Everything was piping hot and full of wonderful flavor. We wrapped up with the Midnight Express espresso dessert martini. Very sweet, but in such a great way, heavy on the espresso and absolutely heavenly. I'm already looking forward to the next time I am able to make it back - the Midnight Express will definitely be the cherry on top of my next visit! read more

10/10 I love this place. I brought my sister and brother here for my sister's 21st birthday & it did not disappoint. This was during a major snow storm in January and y'all were one of the only places open, but I am so glad. read more

Absolutely love this bar. the drinks are yummy and so is the food. we grt the stuffed olives every time we go read more

You go there for the martinis and fun drinks like a Bad Bitch! It's a very chill, fun, laid back place. There is finger food if you want it but the drinks are good and Linda will greet you most days as she has forever! Service is great! It's always a hopping place! read more

Jaime is awesome, definitely try the Mint Under My Pillow or Bad B drinks. Amazing vibes and they also have great snacking type food.

Favorite spot! Wonderful dessertinis, good tapas, friendly environment, good location.

I went to this place for girls night and the servers were energetic and fun along with the place. It was quiet enough to catch up with friends and the cocktails were fun and you could definitely feel it! read more

I absolutely loved the bar menu, the creativity behind the martini drinks was hilarious, they had so many options, so many great martinis. I would highly recommend the lemon drop martini, or the MILF and cookies is a top choice! I love that they had indoor seating but lots of outdoor seating as well so that we could enjoy the beautiful Colorado weather and sit outside. The service was super fast, always checking in on us and making sure that we had everything we needed. Their menu is amazing, and I will definitely be going back again, this is the perfect bar. If you're wanting something that's low-key great atmosphere to catch up with friends and good company. read more

We went in for a late lunch with some friends and the waitress told us to leave... Once our waitress told us she just walked away and wouldn't explain anything. We talked to the manager and he explained that they refuse to serve the whole group when one person is underage. We went to Pour Brothers two doors down and the martinis were better, the service way nicer, and the food was great. This service was bad enough that I had to download yelp and make a review.. read more

This is the cutest martini bar and has a great location. I was pulled in by the neon lights that were beaming through my window while I was staying at The Elizabeth hotel. This is located directly behind it. When you walk in you get soothing cocktail room vibes. The lights are dim, the music is fun and there are loungey places to sit all over. The only drawback is, everyone and their mom is here. Great for business and they are here for a reason, but if you are looking to an easy quiet place to get a drink, this isn't it. If you can get passed the crowded piece and wait for a spot, you will be presented with an extensive list of lovely martinis. I mean... it is a LONG list. They have EVERYTHING. And if you don;t want a martini they have other drinks, but why would you come here and NOT get a martini? I have to get the classic, an extra dirty martini. My cousin got one that was like a bloody mary martini. We were going for salty sips that night I guess. It was delicious and fun and a perfect place to get the night started or have a night cap. read more

Super fun spot. It's a good in-between from the super casual to the pretty fancy-- meaning you can go have a good time in a comfortable setting but enjoy upscale type cocktails. The bartenders were very welcoming and friendly. I only ordered one drink but I think I did well- I got the secret garden. It was very sweet but unique and I enjoyed it a lot. If you're a lemon drop fan you'll like the secret garden. read more

We came for a birthday and were greeted by a server who was intoxicated, slurring her words, and unable to pour waters without spilling it on the table. She took our orders, we only ordered 2 types of drinks so it should've been easy to make. We waited for over 20min and finally decided to ask about our order. Because there were only a couple other customers in the bar and it shouldn't have taken this long. The other bartender was rude and said she never got a ticket so did we even order? Which even if we hadn't, why would no one come ask if we wanted to order, it's not like a big group of girls came in to just sip water.... She said she would make our drinks and then took another 10+ min to make them. She did apologize later and offered us a discount but it was still not a good experience and the drinks were mediocre. Also, the lights were up higher in our corner of the restaurant and she got upset with us for ruining the ambiance since the lights were slightly brighter. We ended up being in there for about an hour for only ordering 1 round of drinks. Will never go back and would not recommend. read more

Top 5 espresso martinis I have ever had. The service was great and it's a close walking distance from where i am staying

Elliot's Martini bar offers more martini and cocktail options than I know what to do with. They are creative, aesthetic, delicious, and really strong. Unlike most other bars in Old Town, Elliot's is a sit down bar where you have a server which is actually very helpful. The only downside of Elliot's is how dark it is inside, but overall it is a great place to go on a date, hang with friends, or just enjoy a martini. read more

Tasty drinks. Be careful, they're sneaky. Great prompt and attentive service. Just a nice little spot in Old Town.

I've been here a couple of times now and it has always been great. It's very cute inside and they have a nice back patio too. Their drinks are gorgeous, creative, and delicious. The service is great and the employees were all very friendly. I really like the "secret garden" drink and the baked Brie (I've had it with caramelized onions and with raspberry sauce--both were wonderful). It is a little pricey but it's reasonable and very worth it! read more

I didn't eat here, but had adult beverages. They had a great selection and the Martinis were wonderful! I will definitely be back!

Love Elliot's! The bartenders are knowledgeable and have great ingredients to whip up anything that tickles your fancy. I miss the days of lounging inside their amazing booths hanging out with friends. They have outside space out front and back. Always a highlight for us on our cocktail crawls through Old Town. Cheers! read more

We met some friends at Elliott's on a Friday at 5. It was the first time for all of us. They have a few tables on the patio out front that faces the newly renovated Linden Avenue. The patio in back is in the parking g lot. Inside are high tops, booths and a couple of conversation areas next to the windows. Their drink menu is fun and very creative. No matter what alcohol is your favorite, they have a martini for you! We were recently in Portugal and fell in love with the wine - Vino Verde. They are the first place we've come across locally that serves it. The service was excellent. And they also have some great munchies like baked Brie, meatballs, tomato tapenade, and nuts and olives. Great place to meet up with friends!! read more

Despite Elliots being a martini bar, I truly love their mocktails! If you don't drink alcohol but would still like to socialize with your friends that do, the Golden Delicious and Strawberry Groove are to die for. Golden Delicious is A1, it's got a nice sour pucker to it and will leave you wanting more. It's my go to bar with coworkers after our shifts in the restaurant industry and I love it for its groovy vibes and there is always a cool movie projecting on the back wall. It's really fun in here. I also do have to recommend the melted cheese with the raspberry compote. It was also a stellar appetizer to munch on and accompany the drinks. read more

The martinis here are really good, and there's a large variety. I loved the atmosphere, and the owner and employees are really friendly, fun, and give great service. I will return for sure. read more

Elliott's Martini Bar was probably one of my favorite stops in Fort Collins. This was a classy, yet welcoming vibe. We were able to find a booth right away and there was ample seating around 9 or so on a Saturday night. The waitress was incredibly kind and helpful. Full of recommendations and was happy to guide us based on our preferences. I ended up ordering the burbon cocktail named about a horse. This was a PHENOMENAL drink. Anyone that likes burbon and/or old fashioned's should absolutely try this. Given that the drinks are affordable, tasty, strong, and the staff is great, I will definitely be making a stop back the next time I'm in Fort Collins! read more

Cool spot for a cocktail. Great martinis and large menu with something for everyone! I had more of a classic martini but my sister went for a dessert one. Both were great. Atmosphere is cute and you can find me on the outdoor patio when it gets a little warmer. read more

Elliott's was the highlight of an amazingly fun long weekend in Ft Collins. I couldn't choose my favorite martini if I tried. And I tried a lot of the martinis to be sure I did my due diligence for this review! (You're welcome!) The martini selections ranged from stiffer versions (ala James Bond) to my preferred deliciously sweet and tart strawberry that will still knock you for a bit of a punch to wrapping up the evening with the yummiest dessert martinis. The cookies and milk martini gives real cookies and milk a run for its money. The location is perfect to walk to if you're in the vicinity of Old Town. Inside is a cute atmosphere but I recommend sitting outside so you can listen to the saxophone magic of Downtown Michael Brown across the alley. Our time there was a full on experience and I can't wait to get back. read more

Great ambience with very fun cocktail mixes. I actually asked them for a cocktail I had elsewhere and they recreated it....but BETTER. Their dessert cocktails are also delicious. Very friendly and welcoming staff (COVID friendly too). read more

Cute bar that had a movie playing in the background. Our server, Taj, was amazing! She was so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Our drinks were amazing. I enjoyed everything I had and all the drinks my company ordered as well! 100% recommended. read more

Kid at the door couldn't care less. Told us it was a bit of a wait so we asked if we should go next door and he said yes and to check back, so we did - and he shrugged and said it was still a wait and we should have just waited outside because he couldn't save spots. If he'd just told us the truth wouldn't be an issue but eh chose to waste our time. Pretty crappy service and now we (6 locals) won't come back. read more

I've been to Elliot's a couple of times on a weekday evening. The bar stayed relatively empty (the times I've been there), yet it's full of characters. The last time I was there meeting up with friends there were two drunks: one lady who drank her way to a stupor then came to find she had no money to pay her tab. She ended up stumbling out with a very angry bartender left behind. The other guy was stumbling around and singing. I kept waiting for him to fall over. Outside of the show, expect to get some good, strong martinis. Their drink menu is pretty extensive. The lemon drops are pretty good. But, my favorite is The Secret Garden: Pear vodka, pomegranate liqueur, fresh lemon, rosemary and thyme simple syrup. DELICIOUS!!! Not too sweet with a great savory-mint flavor. You can't have just one. At some point in the night the lights dimmed and a movie started playing on a screen. Rambo began playing on the big screen. Quite amusing and not what I was looking to have as background noise while chatting about life with my friends. Overall, this place is worth checking out. Good place to meet up with friends and have a drink. read more
