"Next door to its sister bar, Williams & Graham, this LoHi spot brings a bit of dive bar mixed with gastropub into the neighborhood. At Occidental, the rough edges are balanced by the refined, the raw with the hospitable, and visitors can get a high-end cocktail next to a cheap can of beer. On the food menu, the green chili mac and cheese should not be missed, nor should the chicken shwarma tots or Taylor ham sandwich. There’s football on during game season, and a spot waiting at the bar to sit with a glass of whisky in hand." - Vox Creative
