Service is ok, not terrible. Martinis don't always taste the same but I assume its due to a mixture of bartenders and how they choose to make the drink. Not sure if its the change in seasons but I've noticed a lot of bugs. Overall not a bad place to get a crafty martini.

It was unsurprisingly busy, but we were able to snag a drink far sooner than expected (perfectly balanced Espresso Martini for me - not too sweet, but not bitter) and made it outside to the chilly balcony as people moved inside to escape the cold. The lights went on and we were graced with the most beautiful view of the downtown in the evening that I have ever seen, while sipping a fantastic cocktail. It's not cheap, but also not over-the-top for the quality of drink you get. The food up here is limited, but they offer a small cheese tray, and some fancy small bar-bites if you're looking for a light snack. I'm always looking forward to their ever-changing seasonal cocktail list!

The Neighbour has an airy warehouse feel that hits a nice balance between warm and modern. The tall…read moreceilings and round lights give the space a soft glow, and the concrete floors keep it grounded. The bar almost resembles something you might find in a small European hotel, which may suggest they are aiming for a slightly upscale tone, though it never feels pretentious. The seating is varied, with small tables and retro chairs that seem intentionally chosen rather than bought in bulk. The spacing is better than most coffee shops, which makes it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The back area opens up even more, and the soft drapery adds a touch of personality that appears to hint at events or just a bit of flair. The staff continues to be the standout for me. Everyone I spoke with was kind in a way that felt natural, and they knew the menu well enough to help me navigate dairy free options. I usually order the avocado toast on focaccia because it is consistently fresh. The bread looks oversized at first but is airy and soft, and the avocado and radish topping feels simple in the best way. The matcha made with water has also become a go to since it tastes smooth and well-bodied without that chalky, thin finish some places have. My partner and I visited during their Dia de Los Muertos weekend and tried a few themed items. Everything was good, and they were quick to suggest dairy free choices. Prices seem fair, even with the general bump everywhere lately. The only thing I wish they had more of is outlets. It is still a nice place to work for a couple of hours, but coming with a charged laptop helps. The overall vibe is calm with just enough energy to keep the space from feeling sleepy. It works well for coffee dates, casual catch ups, or solo work, especially for anyone who prefers a relaxed atmosphere without too much chaos.

Ace Gillett's -- The Best Speakeasy Vibe in Fort Collins…read more Ace Gillett's is one of our favorite spots in Fort Collins -- a fun, underground bar with true speakeasy vibes. Cozy booths, dim lighting, live music, a full bar, and genuinely delicious food make it the kind of place you want to linger. We love coming here with friends and sharing appetizers: flatbread pizza, fries, Brussels sprouts -- everything is consistently great. We've celebrated our daughter's 21st birthday here, and celebrated our new home here. It's perfect for date night, girls' night out, or a cozy, relaxing evening with live music. One of the best things about Ace Gillett's is how flexible it is. As my husband and I say, it's an "every evening place" -- you can splurge on an incredible full meal or spend $15 on a happy hour drink and an appetizer. It works for any occasion and any budget. And the location is unbeatable: tucked beneath the historic Armstrong Hotel in the heart of downtown Fort Collins. Super convenient if you're staying there, and a wonderful spot to add to any night out. Highly recommended.

Plenty of smiles and maybe one of the few genuine "we're glad you're here" vibes I've experienced in N. Colorado. Yay for customer service! Clean and open entryway. A few arcade games when you walkin gives a nice fun flair. They have booths, tables, and a sizable bar that spread along the windows letting in the sunset glow. Busy wall decor for those who like that sorta thing. It was very clean and open in there so it didn't feel cluttered or messy. Menu is "bar food" and fried; think happy hour.... But wait there is no happy hour there? It didn't appear so anyways. We looked at the menu beforehand so we were looking forward to a variety of fried goodness! For those who are looking for veggies to maybe balance the plate- this is not the place. The food was good and cooked to our request. Beverages- beer and cocktail list, Pepsi products. Paper towels at the table for folks who are getting down with wings. Catfish are two 4 oz filets; they definitely were tasty, seasoning was great and the lemon slice was a nice touch. I was underwhelmed by the plate:price ratio ... and I understand what type of economy a new business must be facing... And not many places here have catfish on their regular menu, so I can be humble and content. They won my heart over with a full plate of battered fries and condiments galore. Buffalo wings were great. Loved the sauce with the extra jalapeño pieces on top. Wish there were a few more carrots/celery on the plate. I'm not a huge fan of the tray vs. plates or baskets, however, am aware that it's an eco-friendly choice and likely helps cleanup/dishwashing duties in the back. I would like to try one of their hot dogs and the apps before I feel like I've been given an impression of their menu. I am looking forward to it and imagine I'll be able to add the 4th star to my review and/or to get more of a feel for why I'm "on the fence." Zoltar sent us and we're so happy we visited!

The second we walked in, glasses of rare Oregan-ian Zinfandel were placed in our hands, and the owner gave us a private tour of the estate. We ventured out onto the expansive patio and were greeted with fresh greenery, the smell of fresh cuts of meat sizzling away on the grill, and two friendly estate dogs, roaming the property. After finishing our complimentary Zinfandel glasses, we ventured inside and sat at the hand-built bar. The beer, wine and liquor options were extensive! We opted for a locally brewed beer (Soul Squared's Fore Throw Blonde), and ordered their famous Ocean Burger made with beef sourced from one of the local farmers less than twenty miles away, pepperjack almond cheese, and topped with the reddest, juiciest tomatoes and most crisp lettuce I've ever had! The owners (and manager) are exceptionally friendly, the music selection was fantastic, and the food is something I'll go back for repeatedly. I heard that they have a friend who travels to Alaska yearly and brings back wild-caught salmon - coming to the menu soon! Their steak fajita and tropical kebab dinner also looked like another option I'll be back to try soon! Five stars? No way, I'd give it 10!
