There is robust seating, an area to play board games just beyond the bar, a secondary room for lounging, and a wrap around patio that extends behind the building and functions as a dance floor on some nights. You're lucky if you come by on a night when El Salvaje is in town spinning salsa and cumbia. 5 stars. The drinks are tasty, and strong. The Ube Colada is the star. Four stars.

Everything I asked for was unavailable. We should've left but didn't find anything better in the area, so we stayed. Worst idea ever because the bartender tried to get creative with what they had in stock and "customize" the drinks for us. Yeah, the drinks were horrendous. I will not come back nor will I recommend this place to anyone visiting Denver.

I went to Denver for a girls' getaway with one of my besties and she knows that I love to dance and…read moreabsolutely love 80's music, so she found The Delorean for us. I looked online and found that they were hosting an all Vinyl 80's dance party with no cover charge on Saturday night... how cool is that!! So, we took a rideshare from Downtown to The Delorean. I am not familiar with that area of town, but there looked to be several bars and restaurants nearby. Anyway, upon entering, we were immediately greeted with a library of cassette tapes. Then, we wandered further to see lots of neon lights and neon carpeting, cases of nostalgia featuring various toys and games from the 80's, as well as lot's of music posters. The cocktail menu was super cool, with drinks named after 80's songs and movies. There was a fun little photo booth in back. I ordered a Pretty in Pink cocktail, which featured jasmine and rose gin with champagne and elderflower liquor with a huge champagne bubble. My friend ordered the She-Ra Colada because it came it a really cute Tiki cup. I think she enjoyed it because she ordered a second. That night, there was an Ape (yes a man in an ape suit) playing 80's vinyl all night. Also, he was giving away records. If you enjoyed a song, you could ask and he would give you the record after it finished playing. I brought home a single by the Klymaxx (Meeting in the Ladies' Room). My friend and I had an absolute blast. We danced the night away and made 80's music-loving friends who we shared stories with about various 80's bands. A server wearing Strawberry Shortcake served us drinks at our table all night. The only bummer is that the dance night went from 9- midnight. After the Ape DJ left, the music was a bit on the quiet side, so we left rather than staying to dance, as the dance party had ended and it was still early. All in all, though I was disappointed, as I wanted to dance until 2AM, The Delorean was still one of my absolute favorite experiences during my Denver weekend stay.

I wasn't totally sure what to expect going into Somebody People, but it ended up being one of the…read morebest meals I've had in Denver so far. We walked in without reservations and managed to grab one of the last open tables, so I'd definitely recommend booking ahead. The space has a great atmosphere with low lighting, candles on the tables, and that lively dinner buzz that makes a restaurant feel exciting without being overwhelming. Our server, who I think may have also been a manager, was fantastic and brought such a fun energy to the experience. The house focaccia immediately changed my opinion of the place. Honestly the best focaccia I've ever had. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, salty, flavorful, and good enough to eat completely on its own. The spring greens were light and fresh, and both pasta dishes were excellent with perfectly al dente pasta and great seasoning. I ordered the chimaera alla vodka, but my friend's no waste gnocchi ended up being my favorite bite of the night. We finished with lattes and tiramisu, and somehow the meal kept getting better. The coffee was genuinely better than what you get at a lot of coffee shops, and the tiramisu was light, balanced, and not overly sweet or soggy like it sometimes can be. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu.

We're pretty hopeful that the name Gordon we volunteered for the Gargoyle by the grain storage tanks will stick... I mean, we pulled that name out of thin air and it felt like a damn good name for a Gargoyle hanging out by the grains! Moving on, I e had a great time and till be back. We ended up chatting with Chris about all sorts of things and parlayed into some conversations about home brewing and shared some pics of my set up and chatted about what he was exploring to get into himself. You guys have a damn good crew with a passion for the business and a love for what you do and represent. And I appreciate and applaud you for it!

We were looking for a place to take our out-of-town friends for lunch yesterday -- somewhere with…read morean outdoor patio -- and stumbled across Joy Hill. The inside of the restaurant had a mid-century modern feel that reminded me of my childhood home. After sitting down and reviewing the menu, my friends decided on the frozen rosé, while I stuck with a Coke since I was driving. The soda hit the spot, but my friends found the frozen rosé a bit bitter and weren't fans. For starters, we highly recommend the garlic bread and pepperoni rolls. The sauces served with them tasted fresh and were packed with flavor. After appetizers, we ordered three pizzas and a Caesar salad. The restaurant got busier after we sat down, and our food took a little over 30 minutes to arrive. When the pizzas finally came out, they were absolutely worth the wait. They were visually appealing, and we couldn't wait to dive in. I ordered the veggie pizza, and it was so good. Our friends got the White Tiger pizza and added prosciutto, while my husband ordered the mushroom pizza with added sausage. It took us a few years to finally try Joy, but I can confidently say they make an awesome pizza in a relaxed, chill atmosphere.
