Denver Westword: It is worth trying one of the out of the box margaritas such as the "Mercado" which blends serrano-infused tequila with passion fruit puree, citrus and a hibiscus rosemary foam.
Joshua Allan: Pepper infused Tequila is incredible, the chile Morita salsa is one of a kind, ask for the "agavero margarita" (casa nobles resposado, agavero liquor, citrus).enchiladas on the house if you CHECK IN.
Rachel K: Happy hour in the bar area gets you $5 margaritas, add a dollar for one of their house infused tequilas like sage pineapple or citrus lemongrass.

Carrie Nenonen: Holy cow- oh SO good! Lamb sliders, citrus salad, pork tenderloin, rack of lamb at our table & all amazing. Save room for dessert tho. Chocolate bomb and Banana Creme Brûlée pie are a must to share!
Bryan Buckhorn: This place is awesome 😄. Great food and drinks. Bar is opening seating. If you have a group, get reservations. They won't let you down.
Denver Westword: Order the bottomless blood orange mimosas off the brunch menu! Read more.
Megan Renee: One of the best breweries in Denver. Try the Blood Orange IRA for a jam-packed, citrus IPA...or mellow it out with a very light-bodied Porter.
James Kormanik: Super friendly staff happy to talk about their craftbeer. Great atmosphere and solid beers.
Denver Off The Wagon: Don't be confused, all of their beers are red and their shirts are black. Try the BSB Red Ale that started it all!

Jessica: There are power outlets at the bar! Awesome!
Brandon West: Good Italian-style pizza, nice diverse menu if you want a sald or pasta. Brown butter budino for dessert is amazing. Brown butter caramel needs to be more of a thing.

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Capitol Hill · 173 tips and reviews
A M: Udon noodles were tasty. The double burnt tacos were good, but small and imo not worth the price. The citrus salad was also interesting, but didn’t stick out as special.
Mark Harris: "Sausage" (Seitan sausage) and Pepper pizza is great - especially for non- vegan in a Vegan restaurant. :-)
Denver Westword: Voted Best Vegetarian Restaurant in Westword's Best of Denver 2011!
