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.

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

Hands down one of the absolute best spots to catch a Colorado sunset! The mountain views as the…read moresun goes down are unmatched. While the food selection focuses mostly on small bites and appetizers bite-sized perfection! But the real star of the show? The desserts. Absolutely delicious and easily some of the best I've ever had! Top it off with exceptional, attentive service, and you have an unforgettable evening. This place is a total MUST if you are in Denver--we are definitely coming back!

last winter, our party of 3 enjoyed a delicious happy hour at peaks lounge while watching the sun…read moreset from the 27th floor. every dish was a crowd pleaser that left us very satiated and satisfied by the end of our meal. simply said, the food was as amazing as the view! THE FOOD 01. LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE ($20): cheddar jack, cavatappi, & panko a classic indulgence with a good helping of lobster! 02. WINTER FLATBREAD ($16): whipped brie, roasted apple, kale, dried cranberries, candied pecans, & balsamic maple gastrique a superb combination of ingredients so fresh and flavorful that this vegetarian menu item ended up being our table's favorite! 03. SWEDISH MEATBALLS ($18): lingonberry, gravy, mixed meat a standard savory delight! 04. RACLETTE & HAM BAGUETTE ($20): tomato bisque, cornichons, & whole grain mustard a delicious pairing that never goes wrong! THE VIEW the blinds were raised as soon as the sun started setting so that guests could enjoy the view without any obstruction. as an out-of-state visitor, being able to see all of denver surrounded by mountains and bathed in gold was the highlight of my trip. THE SPACE peaks lounge feels private without feeling standoffish or corporate. it is an intimate setting that seems to offer seating for any type of guest. there are large sofas for friends to sink into, small tables for romantics to lean over, and long tables for families to gather around. THE SERVICE staff were patient and accommodating throughout our stay.

Came across Roosevelt while trying to find a spot to enjoy some drinks. It did not disappoint,…read moreespecially with some of their library/book theming with my wife being an avid reader. Due to the night we visited it was minimally busy and we snagged two bar seats. Bartenders were friendly enough and let us have time to figure out what we wanted. Ambiance was nice with dim lighting and an overall chill vibe. Music playing but at the right volume during our visit. The bathrooms are hidden behind bookshelf doors giving it a speakeasy vibe. That library vibe continues with their wall of typewriters. Close to that wall they also had an adjacent wall with a giant mirror. Could definitely picture this place being popular/busy during the weekend. Drink wise I got their Soufflé Espresso Martini while my wife got the Skinny Dipper. The espresso martini was tasty and sweet enough that my wife even liked it. The highlight of it was honestly the presentation with a foam built up taller than the glass. My wife's drink was unique and interesting with the addition of carrot being in it. That led to the bright orange color but it did pair well with the other flavors used too. Overall not our favorite drinks of our trip and while service was good it wasn't as outstanding as we received elsewhere. With that said though a bar worth visiting and checking out!

First time here, and all of the servers were SO nice. And it was pretty busy in there-- it was…read moreSaturday night. We sat at a table for at least an hour, tried several drinks, and honestly, they were all very good. And they have many options on the menu. I can't wait to go back and try some more drinks. The Soufflé espresso martini was good! But it wasn't my favorite drink I had of the night, I think my favorite was the Lemon Drop Meringue martini-- GOTTA get that one. Oh, and whoever was in control of the playlist was doing a GREAT job, ha. The vibes were (are) RIGHT at this place. Thank & Cheers!
