A (mostly urban) walk in the woods - Denver

It's the perfect time of year in Denver to get your ass outside for a walk..

We're surprised to have a mixed review for the popular Denver spot Colt & Gray. The service was sub par at best (took forever for the server to greet and for our food to arrive despite an empty restaurant) and the bathrooms were down right scary (filthy sink, smelly and some sort of water pipes issue?) and our apps (Crispy Pig Trotter & Sweet Corn Fritters) were totally under seasoned. HOWEVER, the cocktails were perfect ( I had a dirty martini and husband a Leopold Old Fashioned, so good) and the Grilled Quail and Duck Confit Salad were delicious. Not sure we'll be back with so many down sides? Disappointed overall.

Habit Carbon - Platte St

Doughnut sandwiches by candle light with a cocktail anyone? We freaking love Habit Carbon. Their sandwiches were top notch (try the Lil' Kim and The King, the Sriracha honey dipping sauce is beyond) and the large batch cocktails were mixed to perfection (I loved the Ginger Hibiscus Mule and husband the Cold Brew Manhattan). The Tricky & Sticky Fritter can't be beat. The atmosphere was lively and dimly lit, our fave. We can't wait to bring our friends to check it out late night. BONUS: Everything on the menu includes tax in its price.
