French Fries with Étouffée, Red Beans and Rice. Beautiful to the eyes, and yummy to the tummy!
Leo N.

I was craving' Cajun on my Colorado visit. It was a slow time but the service food and ambiance were top tier.

Beignets a secret menu item

We were in town for a conference and over hotel chicken... so we ventured out to Nola Voodoo Tavern. Boy were we treated with a culinary experience that was matched by the kindness and efficiency of the waiter, Wes, and the Louisiana hospitality of the owner, Henry Baptiste. Everything we ate had authentic NOLA flavor. The owner showed us how to eat crawfish and even whipped up a batch of beignets! If you are ever in Denver please put this place on your list!

4 out of 5 stars "A slice of New Orleans in the heart of Denver--worth the stop!" Stumbling across Nola Voodoo Tavern in Denver was one of those unexpected wins on our foodie adventure. The neighborhood has some real character--yes, it can feel a little rough around the edges with music bumping from cars and locals hanging out--but honestly, it added to the authenticity. We parked safely, crossed the street to a nearby store, and felt completely fine. If anything, it gave us that raw, real NOLA energy we came looking for. Once inside, it's all good vibes. You immediately catch the smell of good Southern cooking and Mardi Gras spirit. The walls, the music, the decor--it screams New Orleans. The vibe lives up to the "Tavern" name in all the best ways. We went in with an appetite and weren't disappointed: * Fried Pickles - crispy, tangy, and fried to perfection * Fried Green Tomatoes - crunchy, fresh, and full of flavor * Fried Chicken Gizzards - definitely a hit with our group (if you know, you know) * Hush Puppies with Blackened Shrimp - bold seasoning and well balanced * Crawfish Étouffée - the crowd favorite! Creamy, flavorful, and comforting--tasted like it came straight out of someone's grandma's pot in Louisiana * Washed it all down with my favorite Abita hazy beer, which always hits the spot when I'm craving that New Orleans feel I do owe y'all an apology though--I was too into the food to snap any pics (rookie move, I know!). But when the owner came over personally to thank us and check in on how we were enjoying everything, that sealed the experience for me. Humble, welcoming, and genuinely proud of what they're serving up. That goes a long way. While I didn't quite have that "I can't live without this" moment, there was definitely enough to write home about. Solid four stars, and I'd absolutely come back again to try a few more dishes and soak in more of that laid-back NOLA flavor. Pro tip: Come with an open mind, a hungry belly, and maybe a little patience with parking--it's worth it.

We came here on a recommendation and it lived up to its reputation. The tavern has a Mardi Gras festive feel, with a bar, few tables, and a pool table. Our waitress was so friendly and professional. We ordered an IPA, jambalaya ($17) and the trio sampler ($17) that has a sample of the gumbo, crawfish étouffee, and rice and beans. The spice was really good!

Food was amazing! Drinks had a bit of a heavy pour (I just added hot sauce to even it out), and I wish my bloody Maria came with a celery stick. The food was delicious! The etouffee, gumbo, and hush puppies were amazing.

Shrimp Po'boy and gumbo

We went to the Nola on a Wednesday for lunch. The staff is very friendly and upbeat especially Steve. I love the ambiance. Definitely a 70's vintage Creole vibe. We felt right at home. We had the Nola Sampler 3 + jumbalya. It has red beans and rice, gumbo and étouffée . We also had a shrimp po' boy that is out of this world. If I didn't know any better, I would think I was in the big easy. Come for the food, stay for the fun.

Yes, I did and yes, I do! I love this place. I went here as a celebratory dinner and will absolutely be back. They have bowl crawfish on the weekends for $20 a pound. I am blown away and amazed by this authentic Cajun Creole Denver gem. The moment I walked in I felt like I was back home in Louisiana. The vibe here is family and laid-back good times. Henry, the owner was very welcoming and his staff was genuinely interested in our experience. I absolutely loved the decor and the family style touches around the restaurant, including Henry's mother's gumbo recipe. We decided not to order an appetizer, but just jump right in and I got the trio of étouffée, gumbo and red beans and rice. For a little bit more I was able to add some jambalaya, which is the whole reason I wanted to go in the first place. Cory had the fried shrimp Poboy with french fries on the side. They have authentic sauces from Louisiana to go with Your meal. That was a super nice touch. Nothing was too spicy, but everything had perfect flavor. You could spice it up more with the sauces on the table if you'd like. And then we found out that it was one dollar wings night on Thursdays. The bartender gave us a great sampling of different sauces that they have to come with the wings. I love their barbecue sauce and their wing sauce. Everything was amazing and tasted like home. However, the gumbo was definitely my favorite. It had this rich smoky flavor and the sausage and the chicken was tender and not falling apart. It was amazing in every aspect. My second favorite would've had to have been the Poboy. The shrimp was perfectly fried and crispy on the outside and tender, plump shrimp on the inside with the perfect crispiness on the French bread. That bread is too live for! So yes, I highly recommend this spot. And you will probably see me there. Let the good times roll!

I see they just added a cute hanging side on the front, so it's easier to locate. Their interior is divided by the huge rectangular bar in the middle. It gives space to both sides. There are TVs all around. There is also an outdoor patio that is perfect for warmer nights. I've been a handful of times and was able to experience it busy and slow! The first time we went is for an event after a Billy Strings concert, and the place was packed. Even then, the drinks came pretty fast. On the slower times, I was able to order their craftier cocktails. Their cocktails are decent. The major upside of this place is the prices! I find them to be on the cheaper side of Denver drinks. Latchkey has quickly become a go-to of mine and can't wait to see them grow more!

There are so many activities you can participate in - pool, darts, a "fun" vending machine that does not disperse food or drink, watch sports, photo booth, hang outside on their patio, hang inside at the numerous tables and chairs, or hang out at the bar with the bartenders - there is so much to do! You can bring your own food in as well. It is set up for large groups! Service was great, tables were clean as was the bathroom. It's a fun place to be, especially on a Saturday night!

Two others had a couple of the special cocktails on the menu and loved them. We decided to order six appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts. We split everything four ways so it ended up like a nine course tasting menu experience. Who knew cabbage could be so good? Haha!!! Standout dishes were the qual, clams, borscht, warm salad and the desserts. The place is small so reservations advised. Wait staff and cooks are friendly. Aside - one person in our party wasn't enthused about Eastern European cuisine and was a convert by the end. If you enjoy well-prepared, delicious food full of taste, check out Molotov. There is a reason this was rated one of the top restaurants in the US a few years ago.

He gave us recommendations and was proud of how much food we ordered between two asian women. The affirmation paired well with the food. Our favorite was the Clambasa. I was worried the kielbasa would overpower the littleneck clams but it was perfect together. You can taste all the ingredients in the dish well. The bone marrow was gone before I could take a picture---rightfully so. But the horseradish mustard blew my mind. The ONLY reason I'm not raving anout the Shuba salad is because a good friend of mine makes it so much better. No skin off of Molotov's back at all, homemade at custom to me will always win. The quail was a disappointing. I didn't notice that the sauce was listed as BBQ. I could not taste the quail. By the time the Porchetta came, we were readilly full...but that didn't matter. Crisp, fatty and flavorful. I recommend the horseradish horilka for all the dishes. Lastly, the pistachio blintz. "Not too sweet," is the Asian's highest praise to any dessert and this deserves it. LOVELY and light. A perfect end to a rich and savory dinner. And no, do not pair this with the horseradish horlike (just in case you were wondering). For this visit, my sister and I decided to sit in the patio area and sit under their local resident regular, the squirell in the tree (his name is Vlad, but his street name is Chad). But next time, I would op to sit inside. It is very cozy with PLENTY of things for your eyes to scrutinize. The first visit was not enough to take everything in, both visually and gastricly (no more room left). A repeat visit is warranted and highly recommended.
