We decided to try the Arvada Tavern in Old Town Arvada, because we had been experimenting at home with different ways to make an Old Fashioned. The Arvada Tavern has an excellent reputation for making amazing cocktails. We arrived at 3:50 on Labor Day and discovered they did not open until 4:00 PM. We waited in their outdoor seating area and were joined by several other groups who were also there for drinks and food. That's a good sign! They finally opened and welcomed us inside. Everyone was invited to sit where they wished, because the bartenders seemed to know everyone. It was a mid 30's to mid 60's crowd. No children when we were there and they did check ID's. So we sat at the bar and ordered an old Fashioned, an Old Town Old Fashioned and a Manhattan. Watching the mixologists was a real treat because the had rows of little bottles containing all sorts of ingredients that they added to the drinks they were making. The Old Hashion's were different, and both very good. Their original recipe Old Fashion was just what you expected but the house creation was excellent. I later asked them to make an Old Fashioned my way and they did, creating a spitting image of what we have been making at home. They said nice recipe.The Manhattan was also great. They have a Tavern creation, "Smoke and Mirrors" that involves burning a whisky barrel stave, capturing the smoke in the glass, adding a large ice cube, 2 x 2, to the glass and covering the glass to coat everything with the smoke. There are 4 or 5 additional alcohols, including Laphroaig added to the glass, so there is a hint of smoke. It was an excellent drink and quite an entertaining production. We also had an Irish Coffee, and it was every bit as good as what you will enjoy at the Buena Vista in San Francisco. The drinks are so good I recommend you have a designated driver, because you can easily get yourself in to trouble if you start having to much fun. But they do keep an eye on you! The bartenders are very entertaining and will tell you exactly what they are doing. The menu also has some great appetizers that we enjoyed at the bar. We saw many patrons eating full meals at their tables. This is a good place to eat good food as well as enjoy an excellent cocktail. So if you find yourself in Old Town Arvada and not wanting to go to another cookie cutter bar, go to the Arvada Tavern and you will become a fan and a regular.

This has a warm neighborhood feel while providing the nicest choice selection around. The menu changes and presentation of your meal will surprise even the most particular diners. Each time I have visited there were seasonal selections from appetizer to desert!

Truly a hidden gem in Denver. Along Sloan Lake with skiers and paddle boarders and ducks. Awesome service with NADINE, and excellent food. Bloody Maryâs were 2 for 1 for regulars, eggs Benedict had multiple options, special quiche every day, so many options. Sit outside if you can and tell them General Bob sent you.

Place says they are Detroit style pizza taken after Buddy's Pizza from Detroit. Not close. First, there were very few items on the pizza as it was dominated by sauce. Second, the crust was not caramelized or flavored like Buddy's Pizza. Third, Expensive for what you get. Being from Detroit, I thought this was more advertisement than substance.

We stopped here for Sunday lunch just as it opened at Noon. Tocabe takes a Mexican fast-food approach to serving, with servers at the counter filling your plate with your choices from the assembled options. My wife and I both had the Indian Taco Plate with braised shredded bison, black beans, osage hominy, lettuce, cheese, mild tomato salsa and seed mix. Both the individual flavours and the overall combination of tastes were divine. The ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the cooking superb. I don't know how close this food is to what American Indians traditionally ate on the Colorado mountains and plains, but it is truly delicious. Not to be missed if you're in Denver.

I love this place! It is in an old house, the inside sits like a comfy, rustic coffee house. The atmosphere is easy, the menu is full & the drink menu is HUGE! I had a delicious dirty chai, and scrumptious breakfast sausage & cheese grits. Everything was cooked to perfection & quick! There was enough parking & cute extras like tiny spoons & wonderful jelly on the table. I definitely will be returning to this, or their other locations!
