    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

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!

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.

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.
