    The sign at the front door... don't ya love birds?

    Colorado has such a fantastic restaurant and bar scene. I am making it my new mission to find the best of the best and guess what? The Goldfinch goes on the list of BEST! Holy cannoli, if you haven't been to this place you are missing out! Next level atmosphere that will make you feel fancy! I love a place that makes me feel like I walked into a hip, invitation only, upscale environment! But guess what no invite or reservation necessary! Oh, and free parking! Show up with pals and hang out in the outdoor covered space or at the inside cozy tables with swivel chairs like you wish you had at home! They have some more private smaller seating areas kinda in a corner if you need to discuss hot topics over a cocktail or beer. They do serve food which I will go back and try one day. When I showed up I just wanted a cool drink and the cucumber refresher was so what I needed to keep my energy up on a hot day! We had a friendly, nice waitress that moved here recently from Arkansas. Definitely would sit in her section next time I visit! I really have to start taking names because no matter where I go around Colorado the people are awesome!

    They have free parking, which is a huge plus in that neighborhood! It has very interesting decor with a dark mood. I met some friends for happy hour and we got drinks and tacos, which were all good. My drink got a flame which I always love for presentation!

    Really cute bar/coffee shop! Parking is kind of tight in the parking lot, but there is street parking. Megan, our bartender, was great! The espresso martini (mine) and old fashion (boyfriend) she made were balanced. Really nice start to our afternoon. The inside is beautiful decorated, quiet, and they were setting up for ladies night (Thursday). Everything was clean too. Definitely worth checking out!

    Cool spot, cocktails are unique twists on the classics. Everyone can find something here. Had the espresso martini and it was excellent. DJ was on when we got there and the staff was friendly. Was a little confused about where to sit as they had a hostess walking around but not really a host stand. Either way I'll be back!

    Goldfinch is a cute place. Modern and dark (at night); it does create that great cocktail lounge ambiance where you can endlessly sip on your favorite cocktail or two as it's so relaxing. As I recollect, this used to be a crepe place which I had utilized. They did a great job turning this into a quaint cocktail lounge on the busy street of Broadway. Despite its location however, the noise from the street is completely cancelled once inside (however, I'm not sure about the patio area. We went here on a very cold winter day so the patio, of course, wasn't open. When it's a lot warmer, I'd love to sit outside and experience the outdoor environment in there. It might as relaxing as the inside.) This experience of mine was about a month or so ago (so much belated.) I had a wonderful red wine (Sangiovese or something like that) along with a pork and potato appetizer dish. That app truly complemented the wine (or the wine complemented the dish; either way, it sure was a great pairing.) There is a little DJ room where they were playing the kind if music that resonates with the whole experience and atmosphere. The lady who assisted us was very welcoming and friendly. The service was top notch. If you are looking for a quiet lounge to enjoy a good appetizer dish with a drink then this place will be your best bet (especially if you want to avoid a huge place where there are other people.) My type of place for sure.

    Such a cute and cozy bar for some late night drinks! Visited this location with a friend and throughly enjoy it. I would say the drinks are the spotlight, food was a little bit of an after thought. We had the cheese dip with tortillas, it was okay... but could have had more flavor. Overall, the music was lively and our server would occasionally check in on us.

    Fun little bar with great unique drinks. Excellent staff and was well taken care of. Love the couches and lounge area. The bathrooms are also decent. The outdoor area was also nice. We just went to the LOBO block party here which was cute and fun. A little festival with some local dj's, vendors, cocktails, and local companies. Would definitely come back again soon. My friends and I had a lot of fun.

    Ryan R.

    Crystal and I and our friends Mallory and Joe went here. The drinks were good and the place is a chill fun vibe inside. I would like to come back again on a regular day non event to try out their regular menu. The dj's were great and so were the servers. The couches and lounge area is a fun chill space. Definitely will come back again soon!

    The Goldfinch made Westword's Top100 List for Bars in the New & Noteworthy Category and I can see why. This chic bar opened in the Platt Park area earlier in 2024 to offer a nightclub option in the area. It is also open for brunch on the weekends. Named after the owner's spirit animal, a painting of a bright yellow goldfinch holding a turquoise jeweled dream catcher atop a disco ball greets you as you walk in the door. There are hints of other southwestern decor in the many Zia symbols sprinkled throughout the open yet intimate space. There are many options for seating, and we were lucky to have the table with the plush lime green swivel chairs. A perfect spot for drinks and a conversation. We arrived for happy hour. This included Happy Wells for $7, Happy Cans for $5, Happy Wines for $8, and Special Spritzes that were off the menu. Most customers were ordering the spritzes so I went for that. Plus, our server, who was also a bartender, sold me on one he had created with falernum syrup that wasn't too sweet and went down a little too easy. The Goldfinch had a chill vibe and was a very enjoyable experience. One that I will definitely revisit.

    Really cool ambiance. Service is great and the food is good! They have a great outside seating area. We had the torta and the skillet, good brunch options! The coffee also is really good!!

    My friend and I came here for happy hour and immediately felt like we picked the right spot for a relaxed, fun evening. They have a great happy hour from 4 to 6 pm, and the menu actually feels intentional instead of just a shorter list of discounted items. We both ordered the Happy Smokey Halo because we love mezcal, and it was absolutely delicious. It had that smoky depth you want from mezcal, balanced with a little heat and citrus, and it felt interesting and layered without being overcomplicated or overly sweet. For food, we ordered the happy hour tacos, the tostada, and the panela to share, and genuinely loved all of it. The tacos were flavorful and fresh with great texture, the tostada had a really satisfying crunch and a nice balance of toppings, and the panela came out warm and comforting with tortillas on the side that made it perfect for scooping. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and ideal for sharing while you sip cocktails and catch up. The vibes here are amazing and honestly one of my favorite parts of the experience. I love the lighting, the warm glow from the candles, the artwork on the walls, and the overall decor that makes the space feel cozy but still lively and social. The servers came by often to check in without hovering, were patient with our questions, and were very accommodating with customizations. It ended up being one of those happy hours where you leave already thinking about when you can come back again.

    I went to a friend's birthday party and she had reserved the entire place. The atmosphere is very cosy and relaxing. There are nice soft seats near the wall where you can people watch and chill. We had some small plate tacos thats were delicious. The bartenders were fun and very good at making cocktails and they even did some fire tricks that looked a little dangerous but we loved it!

    New-ish cocktail lounge on Broadway, entrance is a little hard to spot but it's at the back of the parking lot. Went on a Thursday evening during HH and appreciated that it wasn't empty or super crowded, and house music vibin but not so loud that it was distracting or hard to talk. They had a dj booth and the waiter mentioned they have dj sets pretty often, so would come back for that. There was an outdoor seating area too so would be nice on a summer night kinda thing. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the menu was a little limited/random, at least for HH. But it's a good place for a drink, date, etc.

I looked online and found that they were hosting an all Vinyl 80's dance party with no cover charge on Saturday night... how cool is that!! So, we took a rideshare from Downtown to The Delorean. I am not familiar with that area of town, but there looked to be several bars and restaurants nearby. Anyway, upon entering, we were immediately greeted with a library of cassette tapes. Then, we wandered further to see lots of neon lights and neon carpeting, cases of nostalgia featuring various toys and games from the 80's, as well as lot's of music posters. The cocktail menu was super cool, with drinks named after 80's songs and movies. There was a fun little photo booth in back. I ordered a Pretty in Pink cocktail, which featured jasmine and rose gin with champagne and elderflower liquor with a huge champagne bubble. My friend ordered the She-Ra Colada because it came it a really cute Tiki cup. I think she enjoyed it because she ordered a second. That night, there was an Ape (yes a man in an ape suit) playing 80's vinyl all night. Also, he was giving away records. If you enjoyed a song, you could ask and he would give you the record after it finished playing. I brought home a single by the Klymaxx (Meeting in the Ladies' Room). My friend and I had an absolute blast. We danced the night away and made 80's music-loving friends who we shared stories with about various 80's bands. A server wearing Strawberry Shortcake served us drinks at our table all night. The only bummer is that the dance night went from 9- midnight. After the Ape DJ left, the music was a bit on the quiet side, so we left rather than staying to dance, as the dance party had ended and it was still early. All in all, though I was disappointed, as I wanted to dance until 2AM, The Delorean was still one of my absolute favorite experiences during my Denver weekend stay.

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.

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!
