I have a weakness for a great whiskey bar. My wallet knows it. My liver knows it. My wife…read moredefinitely knows it. Sometimes I show up hunting for rare pours. Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.

They've gotten do much busier though. There must've been over 30 people at the bar getting drinks. But the 4 bartenders at the bar were slinging them out quickly. Even though they were fast the drinks were extremely well made and the customer service wad amazing. The ambiance was great!! Everyone was here to have a good time. But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses.

We have found one other bar (surprisingly close to home in Maine) that does a Gin Fizz. Although the impressiveness of the foam does not compare to here. During all of our other visits we have enjoyed multiple cocktails and enjoyed some great conversations with both bartenders and other patrons. An absolutely fantastic experience. They are a Pre-Prohibition style cocktail bar but can whip up some off menu cocktails as well. The vibes here are always fantastic as well. Unfortunately, despite all this high praise I must say our visit this trip left us with a good amount of disappointment. The bartender and bar-back for this visit lacked the same expert over the top experience we have previously had. My wife did enjoy having the gin fizz but was her least favorite version she has had at Union Lodge. I will keep the five stars for past visits and will return, but disappointed overall this trip.

Our server was super cool and helpful, which instantly made the experience better. The inside is low-lit and chill, with a relaxed atmosphere. Our group sat at the bar, where the back wall features a giant octopus mural, it seriously looked like we were inside a sunken ship with an octopus smashed against the glass, staring at us while we drank. Trippy and hilarious. They've got a full bar with a great selection of craft beers on tap. The outdoor patio is huge, with fire pits and what looked like dart boards or some kind of game area. Plenty of space to chill both indoors and out. The coolest touch? The glowing red bar top made entirely out of dice. Yup, actual die. Super unique and eye-catching. There's also a fun late night food menu featuring quesadillas and a trio of grilled cheeses, all served with a bag of Hawaiian Maui Sweet Onion chips and three bottles of mystery dipping sauces. Here's the twist: the sauces are fire. Red: like a marinara with basil First yellow: zesty whole grain mustard Second yellow: banana jalapeño-style ketchup (sounds weird, but it works) All of them are surprisingly flavorful and elevate the whole snack situation.

Located in Larimer Square downstairs you will find this tropical-themed bar that is going for an oasis feeling. Could be easy to miss if you aren't looking, although during our visit they had a sign out on the sidewalk so not completely speakeasy. They had a good amount of plants, good music playing and just chill and inviting vibes overall. Bartender greeted us right away despite being busy making drinks. Mentioning we could sit anywhere then coming up to order. They have the bar area with some seating in that room as well as additional seating in another area to the side too. By far one of the nicer bartenders we encountered, with who we had a great chat with. On top of that the bartender threw in some flair with his drink making throwing the shakers and such, turning it into more of a show. My wife got their Woah Blackberry, gin based fruit forward drink with great flavor. I got the Spicy Margarita that brought just the right amount of heat to it! Expertly crafted drinks in a tropical vibe that can be a perfect spot for that first drink of the night or as your nightcap drink, either works! Check it out.

Cute, fun spot for a big group or a night out…read more I've been to Happy Camper twice now, first for my engagement party and most recently for a birthday party, and both nights were a blast. It's very cute inside, with lots of string lights and plenty of room for big parties. You can make reservations, and they'll give you a full wrap-around U-shaped corner booth, which is great whether you want to sit all night or stand up and mingle. They also let you bring in your own cake for a cake cutting fee of around $25, I believe. There's also more of a bar-type area with smaller tables. The vibe works for a night out, dinner with a couple of friends, or a big group. Since we ordered a bunch and shared as a table both times, I've gotten to try quite a bit. For appetizers, the jalapeño homies were tasty and actually quite spicy. I love spice, and these had a kick. The potato skins were solid, and the whipped feta was good, though nothing crazy. The giant pretzel is a classic bar pretzel and tasty. The standout was the pulled pork nachos. I don't usually go for nachos, but these were loaded with toppings and great to share. The pizzas are the main event, and I'm a big fan of the quality across the board. The barbecue chicken, buffalo chicken, and chicken ranch were all classic and tasty. The large Matt has the classic everything: various meats, olives, mushrooms, and so on. My favorite so far is the large Nadine, with cupped pepperoni, ricotta, and hot honey, which makes for a great combination. The small Birria-za is a close second, with beef birria, jalapeños (not too spicy), and a birria dipping sauce. We were also there with a vegetarian, and the truffle mushroom pizza was surprisingly good. There are lots of fun drink options and everything I tried was quite good. The only things I haven't tried are the desserts, which I've had my eye on for next time.

My husband and I visited Happy Camper Pizza in Denver on October 16, 2026. What should have been an…read moreenjoyable dinner turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. We had a 6:30 reservation and arrived at 6:35. Several people and groups were ahead of us in the check-in line. At 6:41 when we finally made it through the very long line, the hostess informed us that our reservation had been CANCELED because we were late! I explained we'd been standing in THEIR line for more than 10 minutes. The hostess said reservations are canceled after ten minutes. Wanting to be fair, I later made another reservation specifically to investigate whether this policy was disclosed. I checked the entire booking process, the rules and restrictions, AND the confirmation email. NOWHERE was there any warning about a ten-minute cancellation policy! The hostess offered to make a new reservation. We waited another 15-20 minutes to be seated. Things only got worse. Requesting a small sample of an unfamiliar beer turned into a discussion with an employee who insisted it tasted exactly like Coors Light and did I still want to taste it? Yes. I don't know what Coors Light tastes like. Our individual pizzas arrived eight minutes apart. When I tried moving my pizza rack closer to me, the food runner repeatedly moved it back to the center, even after I explained it was MY pizza. Eventually, he stacked my husband's pizza underneath mine. Why couldn't he simply explain what he was doing? The pizza was excessively salty, dry, and had burnt crust. See photos. When I complained, nobody offered a replacement, adjustment, or any meaningful follow-up. Our waitress was almost nonexistent. My beer arrived after the pizza. We couldn't get red pepper flakes, and my husband couldn't order another beer because she NEVER returned during dinner. She took our order, brought my beer sample, and we didn't see her again until she brought the bill. While I was STILL EATING, an employee removed our water carafe and BOTH water glasses, although we wanted more water! The one handicap accessible stall in the women's restroom had a clogged toilet that wouldn't flush. But my biggest concern was SAFETY. My tall bar stool rocked and shifted significantly whenever I moved. Several times I felt I might fall. When someone bumped the stool, it tipped, and I had to grab the table to prevent myself from falling! I have video of the chair. I reported a chair as a safety concern, and I got a blank look. An employee hovered near our table waiting to clear it. As soon as I stood, he moved in and knocked my eyeglasses off the table onto the next seat. Thankfully, they weren't damaged. After dinner, we waited approximately 22 minutes for our waitress to return. I timed part of that wait: 14 minutes and 13.1 seconds between speaking to the employee clearing our table and the waitress finally appearing. By then, we wanted nothing else. Just the check. She returned two minutes later with a handheld payment device that repeatedly failed. She had to retrieve another, causing an additional delay. We requested a manager, but none came. The explanation? It was a "busy night." Despite our complaints, we paid the FULL BILL. No discount, replacement, or meaningful effort to resolve anything. I understand restaurants get busy and mistakes happen. But that doesn't excuse poor food, inattentive service, unsafe seating, and disregard for customer concerns. What disappointed me most wasn't that so many things went wrong. It was that nobody seemed to care enough to make any of them right.
