We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Flights. The ambience, service, and food were fantastic! The menu choices were better than expected and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed the wine choices, and would have liked a few more bubbly options by the glass. Overall we had a wonderful experience and are so happy that Flights came to Olde Town Arvada. We will be back and tell our friends about this great new addition to our city. read more

This is an amazing little venue, with an impressive selection of wines. LaVonne was fabulous, took care and context into the things you said you liked about wine and was happy to suggest a perfect vintage. Do yourself (and your wine) a favor and order a cheese board. Plenty to share for a table and decadent, An entirely enjoyable visit. Thank you Flights Wine Cafe! read more

We recently celebrated my birthday at Flights. This place is a charming hidden gem. As we arrived a "scattered evening shower" was making its way through town so some of the people sitting outside on the charming patio were heading inside. We found a love seat in front of a glass coffee table under the awning to watch the storm pass. After it did, the temperature dropped a bit and the Flights staff told us there were blankets available if needed. Nice touch. It was also nice to share a couple 3 glass flights of wine (2-3 oz/) exposing us to wines we wouldn't normally order. I am only a little more educated than "I'll have a glass of red" so getting the opportunity to sample several different reds without committing to a full glass or bottle is a treat. Even better, I wasn't required to swirl and spit like I was at some stuffy Napa wine tasting. We ordered a couple shareable small plates; bruschetta and a turkey panini. Both were fresh, crafted with high quality ingredients, and tasty! Topped the evening off with a glass of Port and a to-die-for chocolate dessert. Setting was comfortable and relaxed, servers knowledgeable, food great, and the prices reasonable - can't come up with a negative thing to say about our visit. read more

I've walked past this side street hide-out a bunch of times but just now decided to stop in. What a find! Delightfully not crowded on a mundane Wednesday, and punctuated with delight wines and well matched tapas. Amity, was amiable and orchestrated a symphony of gastronomic precision. I'll be back l! read more

It is so good! Good wine, good food and great inside and outside ambience! It is very modern, clean, and well quality. Right by train tracks and if you love trains, this place is heaven on earth! read more

Flights for Wine Cafe could be a real treasure... (Yep, here comes the dreaded "but..." It needs ambience (jettison the folding chairs, put softer lights in (or use the dimmer), play some music), a better trained staff (don't write down the bottle specials on a notebook full of other notes and bring it over to read), paint the walls something soothing and frame in the two wine racks near the front door. It just has that, "hurry, let's get it open" look. We did share a nice bottle of Malbec. read more

Could have been better. We made reservations and there were plenty of open tables in the back area when we arrived (and even when we left). They placed us at a table right next to the road with tons of loud traffic, and when we asked if we could sit towards the quiet, back area we were rudely told that we had to sit where we were placed. Our server was kind and the food/drinks were good but the experience was sort of a bummer due to the rude waitstaff when we were seated and the noisy traffic throughout our dinner. read more

Delightfully eclectic atmosphere where friends gather to sip wine and share their stories. The small plates are generously proportioned and exceptionally flavorful. The owner diligently works to ensure the small place runs efficiently and with a personal touch. The addition of gluten-free items makes this one of my favorite restaurants. Kudos to the owners! Thank you for my first fabulous meal in Colorado. read more

Great little wine bar in Olde Town. I thought the food was nice and the wine selection robust. We had a salad, artichoke hearts, pork tacos and the wine flight. The location in the evening with the lights and big trees is wonderful. It's the perfect location for a date night or a happy hour with old friends. I will be going back. read more

So things were odd here when I went with my friend, although I would go back. I was waiting for my friend and asked for ONE sauvignon blanc, and I was brought a bottle. I think maybe the question should have been asked if I wanted one "glass" or "BOTTLE" (as I was by myself at the time, I feel like the guess should have been a GLASS)...but I was given a bottle. So we drank it, it was great although my friend prefers red, but the choice was made for us. After that, small plates were good and AGAIN still would return, but maybe have the servers ask more questions. Thanks!! Good job - will return. read more

I really want to love this local restaurant but it's so hit and miss. I've been here six times and each experience has been completely different. Wine selection is excellent and the food has been delicious. However, I've had to practically beg (multiple occasions) to order something to eat. There was even a time when remarks were made about ordering flatbread - waitress disappeared and when she reappeared we were told the kitchen was closed. Btw it was 845pm on a Thursday. The female owner is less than welcoming most times and doesn't seem to care about forming relationships with her local guests. We've spent hundreds of dollars here and it just falls flat. Improve your processes, improve your customer service, and maybe we will be back. read more

Im so excited Arvada has this little gem! We liked Flights when it was in Morrison and still do now that's it's nearer to us in Arvada. They have a lot of spacious outside seating! The charcuterie boards are very good. I suggest trying one of their wines off their specials menu. We really enjoyed what was offered there more than what was on the regular menu. read more

Came here with my mom on a Saturday evening for some girl time and we really enjoyed ourselves, the wine , and cheese board. Stephanie B was our waitress and was so kind and accommodating she even gave me a blanket because it was a little crisp outside. We will 100% be returning read more

This is a great spot tucked away in the very quant (except before a red rocks concert) town of Morrison. Great back patio that looks right up a cliffside making the setting just enough to take you away from what is otherwise the busy metro Denver area. The variety of wines they offer here is impressive, and I'm always finding myself able to try unique/interesting things (white port and pinot noir, anyone?) The appetizers are all freshly made and very tasty, and the wife thinks the truffle honey which comes on the charcuterie board is worth a trip in and of itself - I don't know if I'd go that far, but the balance of sweet and savory that comes through here is pretty darn good, ill admit. Other than that, the service is fantastic and you rarely come here and don't see the owner serving of bussing tables. From the ground up, this just strikes me as a place that cares a lot about their product and about their guests. I highly recommend giving it a try. Only few drawbacks I can see is there's very limited parking around and if you come right before a red-rocks concert, you may have to fight for a seat... don't worry though, you'll probably win. After all were talking about people that are pre-gaming with bottles of fine wine. read more

A very charming place! Went here recently and was informed that this wine cafe made a recent move from Morrison to Arvada, but frankly I'm glad it made the move because now it's closer to me!Between a friend and I, we shared two wine flights, hummus dip, and a flatbread and that made for an excellent lazy Sunday. Altogether we had a great time here and I expect this will become a regular outing spot for me. Can't wait to come back here on one of their live music nights! read more

Hells to the bells! "Best cheese & meat platter in town" -- it better be for $28-- and it was! Wooooo! Artichoke hearts/pesto plate, boom! Mighty fine wine is a given. Great service and bravo to the chef who is passionate about his food and presentation. read more

I wish I could like Flights Wine Cafe. It's a great space in a great place. But I trek out for the music. And it usually leaves me wanting, not because of the performers, but placement. Some artists are pushed up against the building, which is awkward if you are trying to hear. Or see. Some play by the gate to the parking lot, and those folks are easy to hear and see. It's much more comfortable, and I usually get an extra glass or two of wine. Food is OK. Nothing spectacular, nothing that bad (except for veggies getting prepped too early and coming out dehydrated and mealy) My companion loved the kebabs, however. And the flatbread pizzas looked appetizing. The space has so much potential. I'd love to come out for musicians (again, the reason I started coming out) and know it would be comfortable. read more

I really love this place! We hadn't been since they relocated. The service was impeccable as always. The food was delicious and the atmosphere very relaxing. You can hear the creek while enjoying your flights! We ordered the combo platter of cheese and charcuterie. Awesome! I recommend to anyone who loves to sit outside and people watch. Great place....thank you! :-) read more

Soooo...I so want to give 5 stars but my experience at Flights has been hit-or-miss (I've been 5-6 times). To start with the good: the wine selection and food is fantastic! During the summer, the outdoor patio is really cute and a great place to hang out. In the winter, there's not a lot of places to sit and the inside can be loud and a super cramped. Now for the negative: the service can be pretty horrendous. I went for my birthday with a group of friends and it was chaos. It took over 20 minutes to get our drinks and even longer for food (and some of our orders never even came). On top of that, our server kept leaving to walk around the corner to smoke. Needless to say, not the greatest experience. That being said, I've been other times when the service has been great. I will continue to go to Flights but I do hope they addresses their service issues. read more

This place is great! Tons of wine options, delicious food and very friendly staff! Came in January so it was too cold to sit outside but the patio looks great for summer read more

What a wonderful place, just off the main drag if Morrison. Pleasant homey atmosphere hosted by friendly and talkative staff. Not a wine guy so I can't speak to that, but the happy hour red I had was very pleasant. The food is pretty gorgeous. I had the charcuterie which was excellent and worth the $17. Peppadews with goat cheese are a particular fondness of mine, and theirs with honey and a thick balsamic glaze is the best I've had. They claim through cheese board is spectacular, but I couldn't take another bite. I will be back though. Another charcuterie and definitely the cheese board. read more

This is the best wine service and food ever!!!! Love this place new to town they are so friendly and owners and chef are amazing!!!!

I love this spot!!!!! It's absolutely beautiful!!! It's so relaxing and the food portions are very generous! I love their cheese board. It's a large portion and comes with this delicious truffle honey. The owners are so sweet too! When it gets chilly outside they turn on the fire and give you a blanket. So nice! It makes you feel like you're in your backyard with a great view of the mountains! It's a up close view but I still think it's gorgeous. I've also tried their charcuterie board which was great too! Love the duck pate! This is my new spot!!!! Also, I think for their happy hour they do $20 bottle of wine! Great deal! read more

Flights Wine Cafe - Such a relaxing evening! - Wine Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Met a few friends this past weekend to celebrate a birthday at Flights. The location and ambiance of this place is fantastic. There's plenty of seating and a very cozy feel to everything. We sat outside in a quaint garden area with twinkling outdoor lights, plus space heaters to stave off the chill. Some of us tried the red flight, some of us just went my by the glass from the recommendation of our servers. We split a wonderful cheese plate that complimented all the wines really well. Overall Flights Wine & Coffee is a great place to meet and catch up with friends. Their wine selection is extensive and the servers offer fabulous recommendations. read more

I had high hopes for Flights Wine and Coffee. I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday and we were both very excited to try some new wines out! Their website looked promising and I anticipated it was going to be nothing less than amazing. The place is adorable! Located right in the heart of downtown Morrison, Flights Wine and Coffee is a house converted into a wine cafe. It is very homey and relaxed inside, which comfortable chairs, fireplaces and original artwork. We stepped inside through the small doorway and were immediately greeted by a server. We were seated in two comfy chairs next to warm fireplace. We ordered two glasses of wine and decided to chat with the owner about his business. I wouldn't call myself "experienced" in wine, but I do know what I like. The owner was really rude and didn't even look us in the eye while we were talking to him, he just stared at his computer. He made several snide remarks when my boyfriend made a harmless joke about "white zinfandel" and basically treated us as if we were stupid. It was rather uncomfortable to say the least. Besides the rudeness, the wines were alright. Most of them were from California and were tasty, but nothing really stuck out. Maybe he'd left a bad taste in my mouth? I'm not sure, but the bill certainly did. In my opinion, this little joint is extremely over priced for what they offer. And the french press coffee was awful! I definitely won't be back, which is a pity because I love wine. This rude, snooty business doesn't deserve my money. read more

This place has a lot of potential! It has a wonderful patio/yard to enjoy a glass of wine. I will definitely be giving it another try, however, my first experience was pretty disappointing. We came to celebrate a friends birthday and were seated in the lawn. We waited over 20 minutes for someone to come to our table and take our order. Finally, another diner sent a waitress over because they noticed how long we had been waiting. When she finally came over to us, no apology was offered for our wait and her description of the wines were very limited. I enjoy trying new wines but it's nice to know what you're getting. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I am not able to eat gluten or dairy. I always like to double check that what I ordered is safe because it's not worth me getting sick. I asked if the hummus had any cheese (feta) and her response was "it's just normal hummus." I then asked if the barbecue sauce was gluten free and her response was "sure." Going out to eat with diet restrictions is hard enough, and I'd like to feel confident that what I'm eating is safe for me. I am really not trying to be negative, just giving an honest review of my experience there. I will certainly be back because I want to enjoy and support this place! There was a really kind and helpful man who worked there. And they also have blankets for if you get chilly while eating... Such a great idea! read more

My boyfriend and I dined here on a Sunday evening, and got the last outdoor spot at a love seat and coffee table in the adorably quaint courtyard. Here's why we were less than impressed with our experience... 1. It took a solid 10 minutes for someone to come clear the dishes from the people who sat at our table previously (we were told to sit wherever there wasn't a 'Reserved' sign). 2. We watched as our waitress then proceeded to bus other tables (there were no other patrons waiting to be seated), and after about 10 minutes of having our menus and watching our waitress bus tables, we had to ask her if we could place our order. I completely understand that tables need to be bussed, that's not an issue. But when you have customers waiting to order, I don't feel it's necessary to bus tables when you don't have other customers waiting to be seated. Prioritize. 3. I ordered a bottle of wine, the antipasti plate and then I said I'd also like a couple of the crostini flights, to which I got a rude, "We're out of crostinis." So I asked her to just put the wine and antipasti plate order in, and we'd choose something else in place of the crostini flights. We opted for the marinated beef, which I told her when she brought the wine. 4. It took at least 25 minutes to get our antipasti plate, which was nothing to write home about. First off, the menu didn't describe the kind of meat or cheese you would get, nor was it explained when the plate arrived. Our bad for not asking. There were 3 meats: prosciutto, salami and pepperoni. The straight-up pepperoni slices were an interesting touch. And they weren't even good quality - I imagined the kitchen pulling a handful of pepperonis out of a plastic Hormel pouch. The two cheeses on there were okay - nothing spectacular. The items accompanying the meat and cheese were: sweet red peppers stuffed with goat cheese (very tasty), baby dill pickles (???), artichokes, some olives, a delicious pesto sauce and 4 pieces of crostini (I thought they were out???). Let's hope the marinated beef brings this place some much-needed justice! 5. Our waitress didn't check on us once to see how we were doing after the meat and cheese plate arrived. 6. We nibbled on our antipasti plate for around 30 minutes, the last 10 of which, our waitress was nowhere to be found... maybe she's in the back munching on the marinated beef we have yet to get??? 7. She finally emerges from the depths and asks if we need anything else. At this point, we decided we didn't even want the beef anymore, so we told her no, we were ready for the bill. 8. We get the bill, and you guessed it - the marinated beef we never received was on it!!! So my boyfriend handed the bill back to our waitress, along with his credit card, and told her to go ahead and run the card, but please remove the beef, because we never received it. Her response, "That's where the other beef was supposed to go!" No apology whatsoever. 9. She came back with his card, along with two small samples of wine for us to try. Still did not apologize for forgetting to bring us the rest of our food. Then she was just a Chatty Cathy - being extremely kind and talkative. It would have been one thing if she had been this way throughout the night, but she was curt and a bit rude leading up to that point. She knew she was in the wrong, but quite blatantly tried to resurrect herself and secure a decent tip, all without apologizing once. We did leave a tip, but it most definitely reflected the service we received. We kicked ourselves for not heading to Café Prague instead, where we have always had a great experience. I think it's safe to say we won't be returning to Flights Wine Café. read more

Visited this restaurant for the 2013 Denver Restaurant week. I have to say that I was really disappointed. I don' feel that Flights Wine should be listed as a choice for the 5280 week. It would be an OK place to go after a concert or if you're just strolling through Morrison. I feel that Denver's Restaurant week is a time to enjoy a pricier restaurant at a more affordable price. This experience was comparable to a work place potluck where everything is just slapped together. I should of known when the website includes dozens of pictures of the patio and not much else. For the record the patio is very nice. #1 Service was OK. Had to ask for a glass of water and then the refill. Wrong appetizers brought to the table. #2 Flights of wine presentation was nice. #3 Portion size for the tappas varied drastically between the Caprice salad and the Brie Wedge option. #4 The food itself was OK. Nothing special, kinda boring with the baby carrots and snap peas. Not really fresh tasting either. #5 There was a huge discrepancy whether the dessert was part of the 5280. The website says yes, the menu in the restaurant (and owner) says no. Nevertheless we ordered the Creme Brulee and the Creme Puff. Creme Brulee tasted fishy and Creme Puff was a little cold. Maybe frozen? read more

Flights Wine Cafe - Wine Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Owned by an actual "mom and pop", you'll truly feel like a guest in a cozy living room when you dine here. They offer fantastic small plates (we tried the mini paninis & antipasta plate), delectable desserts (we had the homemade cream puffs with port chocolate-dipped strawberries), and more wine options that you'll possibly know what to do with. After admitting that our usual go-to wine is "two buck chuck", the owner patiently led us through a sampling of various wines before we settled on a bottle to have with dinner. Friendly service, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere with a slow pace that encourages a prolonged enjoyment of the experience... we'll be back for sure. read more

The Best Cafe In America (TM). In the best little town in America (C). I don't want to gratuitously overusephrases like "hidden gem" but you better believe I'm going to because this place is all that plus a side of paprika-dusted chilli fries. Which have nothing to do with the food here, i just really like them. Someone has taken somebody's actual house and turned it into a coffee house cum wine bar with a high bar, a cosy living room, and brilliant sunny courtyard replete with fire pit out back, under the shadow of a small mountain, with a picturesque church just next door, and unmitigated privacy, and a short but compelling menu, and stunning wine (GET THE ROSE!), and I just want to live here. You heard me. I'll happily be that creepy regular that is just always there and nobody knows if they have an actual home or if this is their de facto home. Okay I need to wrap this up now I'm fawning. read more

Walking into Flights Wine & Coffee is like walking into someone's living room. There are chairs and couches, comfy tables, and the whole experience is really there to invite you to spend an afternoon. Which we did on the patio, next to a babbling fountain, fauna, and welcome shade from the afternoon sun. Flights is all about wine and appetizers. So if you want a flight of whites and some exotic cheeses or some other lighter eats, this is perfect. Nothing on the menu really constitutes a dinner, so you just order a lot of small stuff. Also, there is beer and wine, no mixed drinks, but that's okay, because Flight focuses on doing only a few things very well. It's a little expensive after you've killed a few wines and a few appetizers, but that's okay, because Flights is great. read more

Love Love Love Flights! I have been there two times and both times I thought about when I would return and who would I bring next. I want to share this gem of a spot with friends and family. The atmosphere is so comfortable and cozy whether you sit inside or out- The owners and staff here have delivered my new favorite wine bar. The service is incredibly friendly and I have truly felt like a GUEST here, not just a customer. It's clear that the owners have great pride in this space, as they should. The wine recommendations were perfect and their knowledge is vast. The menu is small, but it includes everything one might want when tasting/drinking wine. I have not been disappointed in any of my food choices. Ordering wine by the flight really allows you to enjoy the possibilities on Flights wine list. I'm not normally a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but was pleasantly surprised by the offering on the "white flight" and "75" Tuck Beckstoffer project - Cabernet was to die for! Can't wait to go back! read more

Went there for an after hike wine with a friend to catch up. Was impressed by the selection but not the prices. Very pricey for a small Morrison cafe...the antipasto platters were good but for $16 I think the portion sizes should be more like Paris on the Platte (another GREAT coffee/wine bar by the way). I probably won't go back, we had a gift card and still spent $30. Way too much for two flights and one appetizer...total was over $50. Bummer, because the wine was good. read more

I'm all about wine, and I LOVED Flights when we first started going... I would have given 5 stars, but the last 4 visits have not been that great. We used to sit at the bar, and receive excellent customer service from Don. Lately, things have changed. When ordering a cheese platter, we got no crackers or "vehicles" to transport cheese to mouth. We mentioned it to the waiter, and he didn't say a thing. Who serves wine and cheese with no crackers? Regardless, I still enjoy the patio with the heater lamps, and the wines are always great. read more

Waited 10 minutes to be seated in one of their Craigslist-bought patio sets, but no one ever came. Servers were arguing and confused all 10 minutes - they walked by flustered about 90 times without even a hello. I would rather go to Silver Vines any day. read more

Amazing staff, simply astonishing wine selection that rotates seasonally or per availability. Their flights are fantastic. The food is delicious and well proportioned for snacky-foods while drinking delicious wine. Live music is great when it's there, and the whole atmosphere is very relaxed and fun. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are good for the quality of what you're getting! If you can, get to their Valentines dinners. Those are a blast! read more

Loved Flights! The white wine flight was delicious. Only comment would be the crostini bread was so small - they could up the portions a bit. They were very accommodating, friendly, and the patio was a perfect outdoor setting. We came here before a concert at Red Rocks and it was not crowded and a great place to relax and eat yummy appetizers. Best spinach dip I've ever had! Cannot wait to go back. read more

Of all the places we went in Morrison, Flights Wine and Coffee was by far and away my favorite place! I loved sitting on the patio and listening to the live music while sipping a truly great flight and snacking on foods that may have been better than the upscale Seattle restaurants that we tend to frequent at home. We had an equally great experience sitting inside and occasionally chatting with the knowledgeable staff while having some sparkly to celebrate our engagement or while eating another absolutely perfect snack and flight. We even purchased a couple of amazing Washington Wines that we had never encountered at home. I must say, I was surprised to fly to CO and come back with a list of wineries with tasting rooms so close to home that we needed to try! Flights Wine and Coffee was so great that we visited at least once a day for the duration of our trip. read more

Morrison's hidden treasure. I almost don't want to let everyone know how awesome this place it. It's small, quaint & sophisticated. They have a cute courtyard for outdoor enjoyment. Saturday nights they have live music. One of my favorite wine cafe's. They do have some beer!! The Chocolate Bomb dessert is amazing! read more
