    Step through the unassuming entrance of The Delorean and you're instantly transported back to the neon glow, retro beats, and cultural chaos of the 1980s. The vibe here is nostalgic. Their menu includes fun drinks with super cute drink-ware, along with some snacks. Among the creative cocktails, the espresso martini stands out and is one of the best I've had! We were there for a private party and it was fun to enjoy the space with our group of friends!

    What a fun place! They seem to always have a crowd, and some fun event going on. I can't wait to actually get a reservation and have a few cocktails here. Looking forward to movie night when I get back!

    Okay this place is super fun for my Gen X soul. I loved all the fun drinks and the bartenders were excellent. We had three drinks- The He Man Mai Tai, the One-Eyed Willy and the Don't feed him after midnight. I loved the novelty glasses and the presentation. The only issue I have was that the menu said it was happy hour but then we were informed that was incorrect. Either fix the menu or honor the happy hour prices.

    The Delorean's menu!

    Yes. Just yes! Are you a Gen X'er or Millennial? Do you miss being present in one of the best decades to have ever existed? Then this is your place to travel "Back In Time" to the decade that brought you your amazing memories such as ALF, Pee Wee Herman, Pac Man, and the most amazing music ever - read Cyndi Lauper and David Bowie. As you enter The Delorean, you are greeted in a 1980's record shop from what only can be described as an homage to "Pretty in Pink"'s classic record store, Trax. Once you check in for your reservation - which you MUST have - you are invited back into the place through a "hidden door". Everything in this place down to the snacks and drinks you can order pack a punch of totally 80's radness. Must haves here include: the Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls and the Cuckoo for Cocoa Martini. Yes, they use cocoa puffs for the rim! Their snack menu has a variety of 80's totally tubular awesomeness including Pizza Rolls, Dino Chicken Nuggets, Cheese Curds, and Breaded Mushrooms. All served up in a traditional 80's style aluminum TV dinner tray. The drink menu is not grody to the max either. You can find a fun signature cocktail that will meet almost drinking preference. The only thing missing from the menu is TAB. I ordered the Ivan Drago - their take on a White Russian and it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk after all the cereal is gone. Take a chill pill, this is not a bad thing at all. Will absolutely go here again and continue to relish in my need for nostalgia of a more simpler time. I didn't want to go Back to the Future after trying out this new spot along Broadway. Westword 100's bars, you were right on this one. The Delorean is a bar I didn't know I needed and now I can't live without! Pro tip - dress up from the 80's and you'll get a free Marty McFly shot. Hello, McFly, this is obviously a must, like oh, my god! Later nerds.

    Keeping in the theme with Marty McFly, we went to this 1980s speakeasy before heading to the Back to the Future musical. (You get a free Marty McFly shot if you go in costume.) Made reservations and I would recommend it as the place is small and filled up quickly. The front shop is a record store and the door with the flux capacitor leads you into the neon filled, black lit bar area. A wall filled with giant neon Pac Man characters fills one wall, while another has Ziggy Stardust and extra large album covers such as Wham! Make It Big. Cocktails are 80s themed and range from sweet to complicated to old favorites - much like the 80s. I tried the 'As You Wish' (Princess Bride) which was definitely an attention grabber. When other patrons saw it, they wanted it. A mix of strawberry, vodka, and cucumber, this drink was in a fizzio glass and came out glowing with a delicate cloud bubble on top. It was a good drink but a little too sweet for my taste so I switched to the plainer 'Diane' (Cheers) - vodka soda. They also have snacks which are referred to as TV Dinners and come out in foil trays. They are your standard fried foods. Buffalo chicken egg rolls were the best on the list. They also let you order food in. Our server was amazing. She was the only one in a very busy bar and kept things moving. The only hold up was getting drinks because some of the cocktails take a bit more time. Happy Hour runs from 5-6pm W-Sun. $2 off apps and drinks, $3 off specialty cocktails.

    Showed up on a Saturday night without reservation and they were able to get us in for a drink. Cutest decor and interesting bathroom wall paper lol. Yummy drinks and great service. Love the music selection too. Def will be back to hang out with friends. Amazing concept!

    Denise R.

    Love the decore! Fun drinks. I found them on Instagram. Check it out. We didn't try the bar snacks. They had a few old games Ms Pac-Man Donkey Kong pinball.

    So very 80's!!! We all had such a blast from the past! We all got a fun drink and a food item. I loved how the food came in tv trays! The drinks were really fun and yummy. They have a few arcade games and it's nice that you can order quarters to your bill. Parking was easily found on the street, or take an uber like my sister did. Make sure to get the hungry hungry hippo candy, very fun!!

    Hot Scott Cocktail
    Stefanie C.

    Love a themed bar! Your reaction should definitely be WHOA! when you first walk into the Delorean. The decor is on point and so fun. TVs were a little loud at times. I met my friend here to catch up over a few drinks. We sat by the front, which was ideal for people watching. I liked their Strawberry Shortcake the best. The Hot Scott wasn't very "hot" as in spicy, but maybe it's not meant to be. Some munchies like pizza rolls are available if you're hungry. I'm excited to come back sometime (because I always happen to be in this neighborhood) and play all the games!

    Outside, about to walk in.

    Great Scott!! Really fun place to go "back in time." Drinks were delicious, snacks were fun, but light. Bring quarters to play pinball and games! A must when visiting, Denver or just for a drink with friends.

    Cutesy place, but not sure what's so great about it. We didn't have a reservation and had to loiter around the bar. It's small inside with very little room. Luckily you're paying $15-18 each for small, underperforming drinks. My Who Shot JR was almost $18 and maybe four swallows. Smallest cocktail ever. My wife's Kuckoo for Cocoa Puffs was a bit bigger but not much. If you're going for the environment, great. If you're going for top notch beverages and pricing, keep looking.

    Amber was an awesome bar tender. She gave us insight into the happenings at the bar for the holidays and suggested cocktails/shots we'd like. She took her time to talk to us and entertain us. Truly a gem of a bartender. We'll be bringing our family back to enjoy the holiday decor and good vibes here!

    The Flux capacitor Door entrance IYKYK.....If this has to be explained, you don't belong here ;)
    Flip F.

    We heard the name & instantly said let's go back to the future! McFly, Buffalo, and the whole gang were all there, lol. This was exactly what we all expected and more! As soon as I saw the Flux capacitor on the door I got excited & knew it was on like Donkey Kong! I am a Back to the future fanatic so this was my mini Disneyland bar night coming here. We met the rest of our group here to have a great time & dance the night away. When you walk in it looked like the 70s & 80s puked and it's perfect. Nostalgia came instantly!!! One of the cool bar seating areas in the middle of the bar was an old school ENTIRE speed boat like I was on lake Michigan in Wisconsin & Chicago during the summers. There is a cool Pac Man mural on one wall with pinball machines and plenty of pool tables. All over you see cool things like 6ft Clark Griswald & Peewee Herman Cut outs to take pictures with. The bar is a huge old school sunken I. The floor bar with old school seats. The prices were really reasonable and the late night snacks were cool too like pizza bites, cheese curds, DINO Nuggies, yes Dino nuggies! I just wish there was a dipping sauces fir the curds. But hey they came in old foil tin, lol. There were cool drinks that came in cool mugs/ cups like the The ship from Star Wars etc. All had a great time. Service was amazing all the bartenders & servers made the place very enjoyable. We had a blast and just danced the night away and I don't dance in public. This is a must stop is you loved back to the future and the old-school.

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.

Our tour was only 9 people and Sam (tour guide) told us that we could make the tour our own. Since all of us have done a distillery tour, we were able to skip the basics and dive into the specifics of Laws Whiskey House, their recipe, and the why. It was nice to be able to get a little more in-depth especially when we all knew the basics. The building next to the distillery is only a year old and the bar is immaculate!! The views of the mountains while sitting at the couches is nice! And the drinks!! The recipes are so delicious, including the zero proof cocktails. I love how everything about Laws Whiskey is local from the grains, water, and distillation. If you're in the area and needing a drink, you need to stop in!

I actually found parking literally right in front, so it wasn't bad at all. There's also super cute outdoor seating. When you walk in, there's a sign saying an 18% service fee is included, so just keep that in mind before ordering. I ordered the empanadas: one steak, one chicken jalapeño, and one chicken and they were all SO good. Fresh meat, flavorful, and they came out super fast. Definitely recommend trying them. One thing that threw me off a little was the menu situation with the bandeja paisa. Usually bandeja paisa comes with carne asada/grilled steak, but here they have a version called bandeja montañera that comes with ground beef instead. Personally, that was a little disappointing because I was really looking forward to a more traditional bandeja paisa. As for service, the woman taking our order wasn't rude or anything, just a bit serious and not super warm/friendly. But the lady bringing out the food was SO sweet every single time she came by. She honestly balanced out the experience because she was incredibly kind. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight and I'd still come back to try more dishes!
