    Live entertainment
    Martina O.

    Great place to hang out with weekly live entertainment. It's a bar with finger food menus and wide selection of drinks. Two bartender, be mindful of the wait it could be hectic for any orders. Great service and plenty of comfortable seatings.

    This place was super cool - so glad we spontaneously decided to check it out! The space is welcoming as is the staff. We snagged an open table outfitted with stools to spend an hour or so before our dinner reservations elsewhere. Their menu features their take on classic cocktails - funky revamps with lots of flavor and served beautifully. Additionally, there are select options of beer and wine in a can. We went for the cocktails since that seemed to be the right way to go. I had the God Save The Queen which had just the right hint of peach to make it a refreshing, but strong start to the night. My bf had the Mule, also good with a nice ginger beer to pack some punch. The Manhattan was enjoyed by my brother. My mom and her bf had Laguintas IPAs. Another bonus - bar snacks include complimentary freshly popped popcorn. Quality stuff right there! The space is somehow bright, yet moody. Intimate, yet spacious. They've really done well with the layout and decor, making it a really inviting space no matter what you're looking for nestled in the Elizabeth hotel. It has a classy vibe, but doesn't feel pretentious. If I lived in Fort Collins, I'd be a regular here. They also have live music (lineup is listed on their website). Sadly, we couldn't stay for the show the evening we visited. Can't wait to be back next year!

    Was given this right off the shelf!

    Was first given a glass that had red lipstick all over the rim. Went back to get another CLEAN glass and the bartender had to go through three other glasses before they found a clean one. And to add to the mix, it was a busy Saturday night and they had 2 bartenders during a night with live music. It doesn't take a genius to know that you need more staff and clean glassware to give your patrons. Won't ever come back and will be sharing with the world.

    Thank you to the bar tender that let my wife and I catch up with an old friend! The Odell's IPA tasted so good. The bar is cool with games and a huge connect four!

    Has potential, but it's lit way too bright, which kills the vibe. Good music and good staff though.

    Terrible service and unfriendly bar staff. They got it all! It's a nice enough place, but poorly managed.

We will definitely have to go back to try more. Everything we had was amazing!!! If you get a combo you get $2 off an adult beverage. Nice touch. I got the cheesesteak and the rhine combo wirh classic poutine. My husband got meatloaf (a special) and the smothered chicken combo with classic poutine. My friend got bahn mi with chicken and buffalo chicken combo and tater eclairs. Her husband got southern chicken and bahn mi chicken combo with cheese curds. We also got the tater eclairs on the side with the brown sugar bacon aioli. Wow. I got the adult lemonade, my friend got the Ricky and her husband got the bourbon drink. The back patio area was nice. You order at the counter and they give you a number then bring it out to you when it's ready. We will absolutely be back.

    2.5, edging down to 2 stars…read more Not the best food experience I've ever had. They're rated really high -- actually one of the highest-rated restaurants in Fort Collins -- and from a food perspective I don't really understand why. Sliders with sweet potato fries -- fine, nothing extraordinary. Potato éclairs -- . It was really just mashed potatoes with some topping on it. I honestly didn't even finish it. Mountain oysters -- huge letdown. They came out so overcooked they were basically crunchier than potato chips, with the batter crumbling off. I've never had them before, so I didn't get a good representation of how they're supposed to be -- these were just super-cooked batter. On the space: we ended up sitting in three different spots to eat. We went outside by the street first -- super loud, and people were smoking, so we headed back in. The open spot inside was right under the AC and about forty degrees, so we moved to the back area. The back was fine -- covered -- but pretty dirty, with mop buckets and clutter sitting around. The one drink I had was a good value since we were there at happy hour -- some kind of fruity whiskey drink. It was fine, but nothing I'd seek out again. I hate to give such a friendly place a bad review. It'd be a really great spot if you're a college student who wants some cheap bites and a drink -- but honestly it's just bar food, and the ceiling is probably a 4 on a really good day. I wouldn't get excited to head down there, and parking is a bit of a hassle too. Would recommend only if you're after very cheap eats in that area -- check them out for happy hour. But I would not return.

    This review is for the Campus West location on Elizabeth st…read more I am totally in love with this place. We came in on a Thursday around 3 in the afternoon. It was quiet with just a few people. First off this is a family friendly barcade! We don't have anything like that in Las Vegas! Minors are allowed inside until 9pm! The husband and I had drinks at the bar while our toddler explored the area. I wouldn't recommend letting your toddler run around while you have a drink at the bar hahaha BUT there were only a few people there but on the other side of the room. Plus we knew the bartender;-) I recommend anyone with kids to come hang out here *before 9pm! They have old school pinball machines and arcade games for $.25-.75! They also have pool tables, skee ball and a toy crane! What an absolute treat! Gonna definitely visit again before we head back to Vegas!

    We were in Ft. Collins, just walking around Old Town, and saw this place. Once I established that…read morekids can go in, my son joined me downstairs. He noted the newish air hockey table and large selection of pinball options. To my great surprise, my favorite pinball machine of all time is here. It's from the 90s and isn't seen much nowadays. Then, I noted the beer list. More quality/local brews and less swill than in similar arcades in the Denver area. Nicely done. Air hockey delivered with strong jets and a long play time. Kicker: It was only 50 cents. There's no card to buy to put money on first for "convenience." I got a replay on that pinball game on the first try. High score. I appreciate that quarters are the way here. No tokens to be left over and wasted or require a trip back to use. I appreciate that Street Figher II costs but a quarter. The only negative I have is that, like at Denver arcades, the buttons on this game are beaten down and don't respond quickly, at times not at all. Overall, this was an upgrade for us versus our usual spots down South and it'll be on my mind next time I'm in Ft. Fun.
