    One of the many taxidermied goats
    Erin S.

    The goat decor throughout the place is hilarious. The Scapegoat is a pretty expansive place with very comfortable bar stool seating and comfy, leather booths. The Scapegoat has some festive holiday cocktails as well any usual bar drink one orders. The Scapegoat has a photobooth that is also a very entertaining. It's a fun place to be and am glad they made Westword's 100 Bars for this year - otherwise I may have missed it! Will go back for sure! Gold Star!!

    This is a fun, laid-back bar in the Northside right across from La Raza Park. After its namesake, there are plenty of goat decor items (taxidermy and paintings) adorning the walls of this bar. Seating is super comfortable with plush black leather booths and bar chairs. If you are not sitting at the bar, be sure to go up to the bar to place your drink order. Food can be ordered using a QR code during certain hours. In addition to standard drinks, there are some specialty cocktails and shots available. For some added fun, there is a photo booth and Buck Hunter. Definitely a great place to hang out.

    Embarrassed that I live down the street and JUST noticed this place being open. We stopped by because I stop by ALL bars with an adjective animal in the name, and although this won't qualify for people with that standard, I will allow this compound word with a very questionable adjective alluded to. ANYWAY, this place is simple and to the point, but the energy in here is great. The bar is classy, they have the recent version of Buck Hunter, and my only mild complaint might be that I wish they would have squeezed in a pool table. But, I digress. Kristen was great behind the bar. Place was empty when we came in, and about 20 people came in within ten minutes and she didn't even blink. Extremely efficient. We will definitely be making excuses to stop by here more. I know how to spell Kristen's name because when she asked the spelling, she said "I am a ten not a tin." I had to think about what my response would be with a K or a C. So, my response to you Kristen, after a few seconds of thought, is that "I am an Apostle and not a trend." I will work on a more definitive and permanent answer for our next drop-in. Plus, you can pretend like you are going to Ace for house stuff (see across the street), and come back a little happier to do the work. Definitely recommend, and see you there.

    Amazing new bar has come to the Northside! Clean, fresh and great ambiance. Friendly Staff, check it out soon. They have non-alcoholic beer for your sober friends as well. Just a great bar, no kitchen, just a great meeting spot.

    Kasey and Ryan are gems! Such a busy night around the holidays, and they took care of not only my entire party, but everyone else at the bar. Great job, guys. Drinks were tasty, too.

    Insanely rude staff with zero empathy. Friend made an honest mistake asking about a drink and the bartender was an asshole

    I have never been to a bar like this before. It's definitely different. If you're prudent this is…read morenot going to be the place for you. Be forewarned. In order to get to the tiki bar you have to walk through another bar called The Glory Hole. The first bar serves beer and wine and the tiki bar has all the fun tropical drinks. The bartenders are amazing at what they do and gave us one heck of an experience to talk about later. The drinks were strong but not overpowering and the names of them are hilarious. Imagine telling the bartender you want a throat goat with a straight face lol. It was pretty early when we were there so not many people but I can see this place being packed on the weekends. Make sure to look up the right location. One of them is listed as permanently closed on Google but that's only because they moved.

    I was excited to see Hell or High Water reopen, and after visiting the new location, I'm happy to…read morereport it's still as weird and wonderful as ever. The new space is bigger, which is nice because the old location could get pretty packed. The vibe is still completely over the top in the best possible way. Everywhere you look there's some new detail you didn't notice before. The cocktails were fantastic. Creative, balanced, and fun without sacrificing quality. And yes, some of them are literally on fire, which feels appropriate given the name. Also, I don't know who was in charge of the decor, but they clearly weren't afraid to commit to a theme. I'll just say there are some very noticeable decorative choices throughout the space that gave our table plenty to laugh about. If you're looking for a standard cocktail bar, this isn't it. If you're looking for a memorable night out, this absolutely is.

Cash only. $5 for all drinks. Don't expect any fancy cocktails. They can still make a juice, soda, liquor concoction with a lime, and voila! You have a cocktail. The crowds are super diverse in age and ethnicity, a rarity I desperately often miss in CO. The music is awesome.. 90's grunge, rnb, hiphop. We bought a stack of playing cards. Also $5 and entertained ourselves for hours. I visited other bars afterwards and had to come back to old faithful for our nightcap. If you're looking for a casual and fun place to hang without breaking the bank, this speakeasy is it!

    -All drinks $5 - Cash Only-…read more Fun speakeasy near Union Station. Lincolns absolutely delivers on the speakeasy vibe - from trying to find the door, to figuring out how to actually get inside (LOL), to settling in with drinks once you're finally through. It makes the whole experience feel interactive and memorable. **Tip: it actually isn't too hard to find. I won't completely spoil it for people who want the fun of the hunt, but I'll leave a few hints at the bottom. The drink special that night - their version of an Old Fashioned - was excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The other cocktails are liquor + mixer with the soda or bar gun. We tried a local gin (can't remember the name) & soda and a Four Roses Bourbon & Pepsi. There was a odd flavor that came with that round and tasted watered down. Stick with the special. So good! I'd go back all day for the special alone. The staff was a little bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the experience. Everyone was nice, but they didn't seem especially engaged, and the attire didn't really match the speakeasy atmosphere. That said, the space itself is large and immersive enough that once we had our drinks, we just leaned into the whole experience and had a great time. HINTS: 1. Go to the address listed... duh. 2. Something is COOKING through the glass. 3. Find the stairs down. 4. If you hear music and see some impressive doors, figure out how to LIFT the handle to get inside.
