    Front of Washington's

    We spent the evening at Washington's in Fort Collins last Sunday when we saw Graham Nash in concert. This is a great venue for a concert. Intimate with only 900 seating and every seat is a winner. Acoustics were great. The staff were friendly and the ambience perfect. We will be back!

    About the venue.
    Austin S.

    Sick venue. Taylor M had a nice first review. Still need to flesh out this page but did my best adding this venue to Yelp. Whoever remodeled this building certainly had the live music experience on their minds. The lobby has a live feed of the show. Great for not missing anything while you go to the bathroom or pop out to grab a drink from the bar. In the main room they have balcony seating as well as tables in the back of the room. Up front to the stage they have a railing for drinks or your phone/purse etc. Nice level but still right below the stage so people don't spill drinks. Smart! Venue sound is great and in the main room you can see the stage nicely from any point in the room. Dedicated spot right past security for band merchandise. You'll get a pat down when you first enter and wander by a metal detector. They'll scan your paper or digital tickets and you're in!

    Wildermiss!

    I love this venue! It is so clean. There are two bars, great drink prices, and accessible to all. Their security does a greedy job at checkIng everything. I highly recommend catching a concert here! A lot of concerts are open to all ages and the ticket prices are well priced as well.

We will definitely have to go back to try more. Everything we had was amazing!!! If you get a combo you get $2 off an adult beverage. Nice touch. I got the cheesesteak and the rhine combo wirh classic poutine. My husband got meatloaf (a special) and the smothered chicken combo with classic poutine. My friend got bahn mi with chicken and buffalo chicken combo and tater eclairs. Her husband got southern chicken and bahn mi chicken combo with cheese curds. We also got the tater eclairs on the side with the brown sugar bacon aioli. Wow. I got the adult lemonade, my friend got the Ricky and her husband got the bourbon drink. The back patio area was nice. You order at the counter and they give you a number then bring it out to you when it's ready. We will absolutely be back.

    2.5, edging down to 2 stars…read more Not the best food experience I've ever had. They're rated really high -- actually one of the highest-rated restaurants in Fort Collins -- and from a food perspective I don't really understand why. Sliders with sweet potato fries -- fine, nothing extraordinary. Potato éclairs -- . It was really just mashed potatoes with some topping on it. I honestly didn't even finish it. Mountain oysters -- huge letdown. They came out so overcooked they were basically crunchier than potato chips, with the batter crumbling off. I've never had them before, so I didn't get a good representation of how they're supposed to be -- these were just super-cooked batter. On the space: we ended up sitting in three different spots to eat. We went outside by the street first -- super loud, and people were smoking, so we headed back in. The open spot inside was right under the AC and about forty degrees, so we moved to the back area. The back was fine -- covered -- but pretty dirty, with mop buckets and clutter sitting around. The one drink I had was a good value since we were there at happy hour -- some kind of fruity whiskey drink. It was fine, but nothing I'd seek out again. I hate to give such a friendly place a bad review. It'd be a really great spot if you're a college student who wants some cheap bites and a drink -- but honestly it's just bar food, and the ceiling is probably a 4 on a really good day. I wouldn't get excited to head down there, and parking is a bit of a hassle too. Would recommend only if you're after very cheap eats in that area -- check them out for happy hour. But I would not return.

Despite the self service model, the staff were all very friendly and happy to help if you needed anything. I came pretty close to their closing time, but didn't feel like I was being rushed out. The menu is not strictly vegetarian but has about as many vegetarian options as meat options, mostly featuring tempeh. Vegetarian options are easily veganizable by removing cheese or replacing it with avocado. I was having trouble choosing between the veggie reuben and the veggie steak sub, but they had run out of sauerkraut for the reuben, so steak it was. I thought the steak sub was delicious. Tempeh has a totally different texture from steak, but it delivers the savory flavor you want in a cheesesteak. I also got a slice of cheesecake with a swirl of raspberry or strawberry jam. It wasn't particularly memorable, but it was good. The interior of the restaurant is really cool. There are a few different rooms. The room I was in, where the ordering counter is, had this sort of jungle theme going on, with a mural and decorative furniture. There is also a larger dining room, a patio out back, and a bar, which appears to function somewhat separately from the main restaurant but doesn't show up as a separate location on any map app. If approaching from the south and looking for the restaurant, walk past the bar for the restaurant entrance on the north end of the building.

Prices weren't bad and it also has a piano bar but that's only open on certain days. Although I was surprised, it wasn't more packed for a Saturday night. But good for me and my friend, so it was easy to converse without a lot of noise.

    3.5 stars, edging up to 4…read more Stopped in for happy hour drinks and a snack. The ambiance is really nice -- I enjoyed the speakeasy-type theme, and the fact that they have a record selection you can ask the bartender to play. These are actual records, with a lot of classics in the mix. The bartender was efficient and friendly, so no issues on staff. Honestly, the restaurant, ambiance, and service were all top notch -- level five. Happy hour cocktails were reasonably priced, and honestly that's the sweet spot here -- come in for nice cocktails at happy hour prices. I also had a couple off their specialty menu; solid drinks, but at $15 a pop they add up fast. I'd suggest getting in early, though crowding didn't seem to be an issue -- it still wasn't busy when we left about an hour and a half after sitting down. My bigger gripe was the food. Loaded tater tots (happy hour) -- fine. The ketchup and ranch that came with them were actually really, really good -- the sauces were the highlight. The tots just needed slightly longer in the fryer. Not undercooked exactly, they just wanted to fall apart and didn't hold up, which made for a messy plate you basically needed a fork or spoon for. Green goddess salad, $15 -- the biggest letdown. We were looking for something lighter since we weren't trying to get full, and on paper this looked really good -- but it didn't deliver. Way too lightly dressed for the arugula, and there wasn't much flavor unless you happened to get a piece of fruit, a piece of cheese, and the arugula all in one bite. It needed crunch -- some candied pecans or another nut would've been really nice -- and just more dressing in general. Too dry, and lacking something. Fifteen dollars for essentially some arugula, and the two of us only got through half of it. Other than that, the experience was pretty solid. Would recommend, and would return.

    The Mishawaka is clearly a place where music comes first and food is an afterthought, and…read moreunfortunately our experience made that very obvious. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which actually tasted good, but it was served with vegetables that were visibly moldy. That immediately killed any confidence I had in the kitchen's food safety and quality control. Moldy food should never make it onto a plate, period. Service was friendly, but not especially competent or attentive. It was the kind of experience where, even when something is clearly wrong, you don't have much confidence that asking for it to be corrected is going to improve anything. At a certain point, you just pay the bill and know you won't be coming back. The entrées were at least edible. The Reuben was decent, the burger was very plain, and the fries were underwhelming. There were also some questionable touches throughout the outdoor dining setup. Silverware was already grouped in bulk in the center for multiple guests to grab, along with condiments that appeared to have been sitting outside in the sun all day. Combined with being served moldy vegetables, it gave the overall impression that food handling and quality control simply aren't major priorities here. I understand that people primarily come to the Mishawaka for the setting and live music, and that part is obviously the attraction. But being a music venue shouldn't mean accepting noticeably lower standards from the restaurant. Music over food, and they seem to know it. You come for the tunes, but you may even leave with a stronger stomach.

    Went to see a concert here last night; quite the unique experience! Most people have to be shuttled…read moreup for concerts as the parking is very limited. Honestly the road going up is pretty curvy and definitely dark after the sun sets, so I'm super glad we had the shuttle. The outside deck for dinner has a great ambiance right there on the river. However, the inside bar and eating area felt like a greenhouse (albeit, we've been suffering from 100+ temps for awhile now). During concerts, they don't have their indoor bathrooms available; only the use of porter poties outside, but I will say they were nicer/cleaner than I expected. They had plenty of bars open during the concert, so there was never really much of a line, which was great! The space is in the middle of a canyon right by the river and a very unique and exclusive experience that you don't see every day. People sat in the astroturf beforehand and between sets, but everyone stood/danced during the show. There aren't many seats - just in the VIP areas. Certainly an overall cool experience!
