Excellent service and as a history nerd I was pretty hyped to be eating in a place that’s been around so long. I never order cocktails but had to try a 1920 style one. Lighting and atmosphere is very speakeasy I loved the vibes. Great time & food!

Awesome vibey little bar with phenomenal cocktails and food. Deserves a 5 star rating, and y'all that aren't giving it that are fools. Personally had the Smoke & Mirrors and the Mable Gramm cocktails. Rye cocktails that were both amazing in their own right, but I couldn't suggest the Smoke & Mirrors more to anyone who loves whiskey and smoke with a flair for performance (not usually my thing, but trust me). My partner had that Lavender Greyhound and the Pennyroyal Tea. Both fantastic, but I was mostly jealous of the Lavender Greyhound. Nicoise Salmon salad was excellent. The salmon was crispy and a tad salty, but the mild flavors of the salad together with the salty salmon were fantastic. The Nashville "Hot" Chicken Sandwich was exactly what I wanted. I love a crispy chicken sandwich, and my issue with most Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches is that you just taste the heat. This sandwich was perfection. Just a hint of heat on a perfectly cooked crispy chicken patty. Shoestring potatoes were super crispy and flavorful. Only got a picture of the Mable Gramm cocktail. I don't always review, but this place definitely deserves a 5 star rating. Service, drinks, food, all 5 stars.

Excellent craft cocktails, delicious food, lovely bartenders. My partner and I shared the Nicoise Salad and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, both were very good. For drinks I had the Lavender Greyhound and Pennyroyal Tea, and I would highly recommend both. My partner had the Mable Gramm and the Smoke & Mirrors. This place is a must visit in Arvada! My only sadness is we came in on a week night so we could not check out the speakeasy!

We sat at the bar and had fantastic service. We really enjoyed watching Tristan and Matt make drinks all night. They were attentive to our needs and had great suggestions. I mean just look at these drinks, their attention to detail is beautiful! They also gave us some recommendations being that we are out of towners.

Very chill speakeasy 1920's vibes going on here. I know speakeasy and handcrafted get thrown out loosely these days but this place is def about the quality cocktail crowd. I think the videos and pictures speak for themselves. The Food is also good for a place that focuses primarily on cocktails. I would call it quality bar food . I would recommend sitting at the bar if you want to get the full experience and interact with the friendly bartenders.

Solid choice for any meal. Excellent service, even though it was busy. Delicious burger and steak. For the appetizer definitely go with the Peach Crostini. Although the portions are a bit small, it's crushingly good. Staff works hard, front and back of the house. Good job gang.

Tristan and his partner at the bar were killing it and the kitchen was on fire! Hitting on all cylinders tonight. Update: just came through again.four months later. This visit had Matt and Chris behind the bar. This spot never disappoints. They crushed some amazing craft cocktails for us, coupled with outstanding service and a few laughs for good measure.Tried Matt’s Seasonal creation and it was silky smooth.

Super duper great food and drink at the Arvada Tavern. Service was on point, Samantha L was super knowledgeable and she could not have been nicer and more accommodating. The bartenders and kitchen staff absolutely killed it for our first visit here. We had Pierogi and Chicken Schnitzel and both dishes were really delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend we will be back.
