The Bluegrass Lounge - Olde Town

OMG! Truly the best decaf espresso martini I’ve ever had! (The same is true for the ‘fully loaded’ as well). If asked for something a little off-menu, and the bar tender absolutely nailed it! He was so thoughtful and let me know it might take a few extra minutes, since it’s not a standard order, but it was so worth the wait. Staff is incredible — attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Even with the bar always packed, the service is outstanding and the food is consistently delicious. This place never disappoints!

The Bluegrass OTA is literally a staple in Olde Town. The sandwiches are delicious, the drinks are unique and incredible, and the whiskey selection is great! This is a place where you want to become a regular. The staff treats their customers like family, especially once they get to know you, assuming you’re not a rotten customer by nature. Additionally, these folks plan so many awesome themed events. It’s often hosted by their incredible distributors, includes freebies, and you can buy some great single barrel bottles hand selected by staff. This is your place for Christmas pop-up, Kentucky Derby, and drinking with great people! If you want to find your “Cheers” in a calm but incredible environment, this is your place.

Disappointing. The place and concept were cute and we were excited to try it out. The bartender/barista was very unfriendly. No smile, no personality, not helpful. The cappuccino was just okay. The chai latte was so overwhelmingly spiced it was undrinkable. The bagel and cream cheese had barely any cream cheese on it. Won’t be back ☹️

Great pizza!! I enjoyed a bourbon flight. Parking is a challenge. We were told you can park at the light rail station.

I recently stopped by the Bluegrass Inn because it’s my favorite coffee shop in Colorado and I’m home for the holidays! I have always loved the atmosphere and vibe. This time when my coworker and I went up to the front counter, I said “ hi how are you ? “ to the person (glasses, face tattoo, shaved sides of head, angry). For some reason, it seemed she was insulted by us asking her how she was because she looked directly at us with a strain face and said nothing. I said one more time “how are you ?”, and smiled trying to break the tension. She said nothing and stared me directly in the eye so we ordered our food and said thank you to which she said nothing again. We then sat and waited for our food while she Kept giving us dirty looks from across the room for absolutely no reason. Then she brought us our food and slammed the food on the table. We said thank you both times and again she ignored us in, looked at us like we were Not supposed to be in the coffee shop. She was an extremely rude to us while we were leaving yelling at my older coworker because they didn’t know where the dish pan was. We apologized. As we left the café another large group commented and asked us why that woman was so angry at us and we had no idea. Right as we left the café and we are on the front doorstep. Another couple was talking about how rude that woman was being to them. This person clearly identified something about us, whether it was racial, religious, etc that she didn’t like but we were not wearing anything that could’ve been counted as offensive or said anything. We were all just very happy to be in such a beautiful café. That being said, I will never step foot in this establishment again. I can’t believe how incredibly rude that person was to so many people right in front of us and especially to ourselves for absolutely no reason. Again, the woman with the face tattoo glasses and two sides shaped of her head is the rudest customer service person I’ve ever dealt with in my entire life. It’s too bad to see what used to be my favorite coffee shop turn into such a judgmental angry place for no reason.

We live 45 minutes away so it’s always a treat to have a date night in Old Town Arvada. The Bluegrass is always on our list of stops. The patio is so much fun in the summer, and Noel during the holidays is unmatched! Josh the manager has a gift for making everyone feel like friends! Whether you want coffee or a cocktail, you won’t be disappointed.

Totally stumbled across this nice little space while I was in Arvada. It was pretty packed at 10am, mostly people working remotely - on zoom calls or in-person meetings. The WiFi seemed to hold up well. Really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and coffee. Sat at the communal table and had a nice chat with others there. Nothing over the top in terms of service. You order at the counter, they bring you the food. I gave atmosphere 4 stars because this was a beautiful day and they have plenty of additional seating outside in front and back. But these tables were not cleaned, and people clearly didn’t want to choose dirty tables and chairs outside, thus the indoor tables were packed. If those were clean and the crowd spread out, I’d give this a 5 Star review.

Wanted to give a huge shoutout to Bruce who served us in the main area while we waited for NOEL. We were quoted 1h 45 min wait time but ended up waiting closer to 3 hours. Bruce noticed this and did everything he could to get us back to NOEL as fast as possible. He even brought us shots once we were seated. In Noel Josh and Abraham took great care of our table despite the crowds.

This place is always GREAT!! NAW FANTASTIC Yesterday, I was exhausted and HUNGRY, but knowing I can only eat a small amount HA!!! Headed up to my FAV - Arvada, Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge, There were a plenty of Halloween children walking down the street, dress in their Halloween costumes, and at the Bluegrass, all was decorate and BUSY. Many on their computers/free wifi!!! It rocks. And the food, teas, drinks at the bar or tables or "get to meet others tables", all bustling, with families and Halloween children with their "filling up pumpkins" treats everywhere in Bluegrass, on the streets, businesses offering treats. I sat in the corner with my Aspen Pretty Eyes, with only ONE ITEM MY STOMACH WAS CRAVING, Pesto - Artichoke - scatter GREENS Pizza and English Hot Tea. And get some work done searching information regarding Pre-fab Homes. Learned a great deal, I could save $$$$ And my pizza arrived, I do not know who was more hungry, Aspen or myself. Normally even a small pizza is Huge for me, but we gobbled that Pesto Pizza down so fast, I thought I might wish to order another!! Naw, let it settle and wind our way through the clamor of children petitioning; "Trick or Treat!" I LOVE Bluegrass, and there are two locations. Arvada is special with it's small artful historical feel, with parks and friendly people, pooches and plenty of parking a block n 1/2 away. Writing this, I WANT TO GO BACK AND HAVE MY FAVORITE PESTO PIZZA!!! Do enjoy this place, open 7 days weekly, also it does have a back patio and front patio, GREAT food; place is family, bar, wifi working and friendly banter!! Aspen made it to their headline photos!! Their second restaurant is super Dog friendly!! Enjoy

Came here last night for the Christmas themed pop up Noel! It was so much fun with karaoke, ordered the Boozy Nog and it was so good! The wait was a little long but 10/10 recommend, the staff was friendly and ended the night taking home pizza and it was delicious, thin crust and the jalapeños were super spicy!

Went to Blue Grass last night and had an amazing experience. Their backyard was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had such a cozy, festive vibe. One of the staff members was super kind and recommended a pizza for me and it was absolutely delicious. It had a nice little kick from the jalapeños. The live music in the background made the whole night even better. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. I'll definitely be back if I'm in Colorado

With the familiar scent of oven baked pizza in the air, this rustic bar and coffee house has a gritty yet personable feel. It has some eclectic decor that celebrates many varieties of bourbon. It is a bar/coffee shop with a bit of an identity crisis. Although I did not have any food, it smelled delicious. The coffee menu was decent with wide variety of the usual coffee and tea offerings. My breve was flavorful and hot but a tad on the weak side... maybe I'll request an extra shot next time. The staff were welcoming and personable. It is the kinda place you could go for lunch or dinner and just chill. Then snag a coffee to top off a great meal. There is a really cool outdoor seating area in the back with live music when I visited, plus street side seating out front.

Cute little spot! It's more dark/bar vibes on the inside but they've got coffee and food options too! Their pumpkin spice chai was so good and the breakfast sandwiches are good and have gluten free options. I also got the French toast, though I have to say that was a bit underwhelming. But fine nonetheless! It's order at the counter and they come serve your food at your table. Outdoor seating out front is available but no umbrellas so the sun can be a bit intense.

Josh and Adam were awesome. We were enamored by the videos and pictures of the NOEL event, the staff is extremely kind and accommodating. Be sure to look at the website to make sure you have your seats guys! The ambiance is amazing and the vibes are immaculate! Would recommend.

Almost 5 years to the day of my first review of Bluegrass...wild! Fast forward to now and this is one of my most frequented places in the city. Since moving to this side of town earlier this year, my hot, steamy affair with Bluegrass was rekindled. It's a place for all walks of life and for me, it checks many boxes. +Coffee served all day. +Whiskey selection of 100-150 varietals. +Solid menu featuring pizzas, sandwiches, breakfast items, etc. +Lively atmosphere with a killer outdoor patio. +Strong wifi network and plenty of outlets for remote workers. +Good deals on happy hour pricing/specials. The "Cheers" mentality still holds up to this day. Everyone knows everyone here. And if you're not part of the crew, they'll usually welcome you graciously. I will say that, at times, service can be a little short and snappy. This place gets jammed and sometimes I think they can be more understanding and accommodating. However I've developed friendly relationships with a few of the workers and they make me feel right at home when they're on shift. My main qualm is that I feel like the food has slipped a bit. I never thought it was mind blowing, but it used to be more consistent. I've had some items recently that were just okay (breakfast burrito, sandwich, pizza). With plenty of places to eat nearby, I'd leave that option open to anyone reading this. They have a real good thing going here. The textbook definition of a neighborhood spot. A locals only place. We're glad you're here, Bluegrass!

Was in town for work and my coworker took us here because it's one of his favorite coffee shops and I can totally see why it is! First of all, this neighborhood is SO cute. Kinda like an old downtown area. I felt like I was walking on a movie set. So cute and quaint. Inside, this coffee shop is so welcoming and cozy. I got a bagel with cream cheese and their signature cold bru, even though it was cold outside. It was delicious! Really enjoyed it and that cold bru was bruuuuuing. Pretty strong, but I needed it cuz we had a long event day. The staff was also so nice, too! There's plenty of places to sit and even on a Wednesday morning, this place was buzzin. It was great! I definitely would frequent this place if I lived in the area. Highly recommend checking it out!

Located in a really cute little area, I would love to check out their holiday offerings. I joined some coworkers for coworker, and we ordered an assortment of things. I got a Matcha and a bacon breakfast sandwich. I personally like sweet drinks and the Matcha came on the not at all sweet side. I have a feeling that most of their drinks lean away from the sweetness, which is totally fine just not my cup of tea. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich, but it was something I could've easily made it home. Nothing super special. The inside is really cute and it's a cool space.

Ambiance is nice, lots of seats, prices are fair, plenty of street parking around. I wanted to love this place but only give it a 3.5/5 stars in my humble opinion. My avocado toast came out burnt and over salted. It also took a long time to come out. I just ended up eating it as it bc I was so hungry. The matcha was decent, I personally like mine a little sweetened, but it was fine, just tasted a little powdery as well. WiFi available as well. The guy who took my order wasn't the friendliest to me, but he was joking around with all the other customers that came in, so idk, made me feel like he was slightly racially biased. I don't easily make allegations like that, but when you've dealt with people and lived life it's just a vibe you pick up on. I was plenty friendly to him, so idk what else his off demeanor specifically to me would've been about.

This is a worthy activity if you can go. Bluegrass does a pop up holiday bar in back that is just so much fun! This was our second year going. If you are not familiar, Bluegrass is towards the east end of Grandview in Olde Town Arvada. There is plenty of parking in the deck adjacent to the area. We met our friends there and got on the list to do the pop up. While we waited we ordered some beers and a pizza. The pizza was tasty. We only had about a thirty minute wait before being escorted back to the Noel area. The decorations are beautiful. They have a tent over their back deck and you feel like you are in a winter wonderland. The holiday beverages available were fun. I chose the cocoa and got it "naughty" with a shot of peppermint schnapps. Delicious! There is a selection of shots available and our table did a shot-ski. They get the attention of the room and everyone yells out, "Shot-ski!!" The staff was great. Be aware you have a 2 hour limit at your table. That was plenty of time to enjoy the experience while allowing for others to have a turn. Highly recommend!

Mostly rating 5 stars because this place just has the best vibes and the nicest people. The food looks good, but I honestly just got drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere. A fun place to work, chat or sit and people watch while listening to music. They have everything you need. I want to come back here and stay and work all day, but I live in Denver... Extra points because they take Apple Pay!

Honestly, the only downside to this stellar establishment was that they only have one bathroom and no table-service out back. The atmosphere was lively and the pizza was great! They had Bierstadt's Helles on tap and a free whiskey tasting from a local distillery.

I came here with a friend to get an afternoon coffee on a Thursday. The coffee and service was great. I got the seasonal white peach latte and it was delicious!!! My experience was significantly altered because of the volume of the live artist playing though. I love live music, and her music was great, but the volume made it unenjoyable. I couldn't even hear my friend, while we yelled across the table at each other. We ended up moving outside so we could talk and while closing our tab I asked the barista if there was anything they could do about the volume and they said it was all up to the artist. Many other groups moved outside after us, even with the misting rain making it a more undesirable setting. Overall I am sure this restaurant would be great another day and I very much enjoyed my drink and their patio was nice.

We found a place that is affordable, where everybody fits in, and all are welcome. 7 days/nights a week it has a kick back enjoyable vibe. The service is top notch and friendly. If you come late November and into December, one of the best Holiday pop up bars in the state! Try their boozed up egg nog, you will not regret it! When they have bands come in, they are quaint and talented. Food, you guessed it, awesome!

Good space inside and outside. The front and back patio is dog friendly. Person taking order was super helpful and inviting. Mocha latte - 4/5 Spumoni latte - 4.5/5 Avacado toast - 3/5 - Avacado were cold guacamole. Lack seasoning, but can be managed by adding them

Really enjoyed their holiday pop up bar. Such cute and yummy drinks and super fun. Wait staff was really nice too

Cute spot! Popped in for a coffee to go and went with the latte which was delicious. Line was a bit long but got through it at a good clip. Like the vibe of the place and will want to come back for food at some point. They had a back room decked out for the holidays which looked fun too.

3.5 banjos So hear me out y'all. This is perhaps one of the best bourbon selections west of Kentucky...period. Seriously a hundred really fantastic ones to choose from: You want to try a Van Winkle 20... no problem. Elijah Craig barrell pick...hell yeah! Parker Heritage, Russell's Reserve, Weller, yatta yatta yatta. Great list of Ryes too. Beers on tap were not too shabby. If I were to stop the review there it would be a 10.....BUT Food is so so. Mostly salads sandwiches and pizzas which are okay. Ambiance is pretty low key and coffee bar like. For drinking no problem, but to have a meal and hang with my friend for her Birthday....not so much. The woman caterwauling aka singing was a tough thing to listen to (sorry). Service is fantastic though and everyone there is just wonderful to interact with. I would def come back for the bourbon.

Best Espresso Martini in Arvada! Fun atmosphere and great patio! Loved that it was pup friendly! Homemade Bloody Mary's were also delicious! Worth the stop!

Solid quick stop for coffee and breakfast. French toast was nice and crispy on the outside and chewy inside. Kids said it was the best bagel ever. Fun atmosphere!

Ordered a couple french dip sandwiches through DoorDash they showed minus au jus and the buns were burn hard crispy black. Hopefully they do much better in the restaurant.

Incredible bourbon selection, awesome events, great college bar style vibe. And honestly even the coffee in the morning is great and espresso shots are pulled perfectly. However, I must flag that the avocado toast was the single worst avocado toast I've ever had. Avoid this like the plague! It's cold avocado paste on a crappy sandwich bread with an overcooked boiled egg.

Ambiance is cool, hipster, casual. The food is amazing and the cocktails are delicious and well crafted. I ordered the French dip and it was perfect! Slow roasted, thin sliced roast beef cooked to perfection and seasoned very well. My manhattan was delicious. My only regret, not enough time or stamina to try all the cocktails! A definite must stop.

Cheers to my inaugural dinner in Olde Town Arvada!! It's a big decision to make. Just moved into town. Where should I eat first? My partner and I narrowed down our choices and decided on Bluegrass. We parked several blocks away to explore a bit of Arvada on foot. Luckily by the time we got to the venue, there was music playing and a bench available on the back patio. Too tired for bourbon and definitely coming back for that. I got a cocktail and an order of Italian Sub Pinwheels. Wasn't in the mood for pizza, but it's very similar. I'm obsessed with calzones, and these are basically mini versions of those, stuffed with pepperoni, salami, garlic, olive oil, and pesto. House marinara on the side. Super tasty. Some parts were too burnt, but it was a filling meal regardless. Quick and efficient service. Love the musician that was playing. Can't wait to make this a regular spot.

Jen is the best. We love her and come here weekly because of her professionalism and personality. Bluegrass has the best vibes because of people like her

Cool little coffee and bourbon bar in the heart of olde town Arvada.I went once in the morning on St Pattys and had a tasty little Irish coffee (they serve coffee in paper cups, Irish or otherwise) and sat at the bar. We were going to come back for happy hour (m-f 2-5) for some corned beef slider specials, but we ended up not back until after 7pm but the sliders were damn good. There was a duo playing live music and they sounded quite good. It's a small place with only one bathroom (probably only a problem when really packed) but the space of cozy and clean and a decent selection of drink and some bites.

This place was awesome. If you like bourbon, a great atmosphere, good food and a laid back feel, this is it. Found on our last day in Arvada had 2 great bourbon smash and personal size pizza and both were top notch. The employees were attentive and friendly and definitely will return on our next trip. Thanks

Great ! Down Home Bluegrass Band ! Super Singing Enjoyed the outside Venue Great Pizza !

Came here the night before my wedding because I'm a whiskey guy. That night was one of the most memorable, with amazing selections of whiskey and a beautiful patio. Would highly recommend, and will be going back on occasion!

Just posting so everyone know to stay away from The Bluegrass Lounge in old town Arvada. I went 3 times and the staff was ridiculously rude each time. (check their Google reviews and you'll see it's a common occurrence) Last Sunday I went and was sitting on the patio when an employee came out with a leaf blower and kicked up a bunch of dust that landed in our drinks. When I brought it to his attention he said "I'm not sorry about that" I've never been so shocked at a restaurant in my life. Bro was lucky I was with a date and remained a gentleman in her presence.

We live five minutes from Old Town and came here on a Saturday night when there was a whiskey tasting from Talnua distillery. I got a bourbon ball drink, which tasted like a delicious chocolate milkshake and others in our group got other delightful cocktails. The ambience itself is really cool and almost feels like an old Western yet modernized interior. I like how this place is a coffee shop, but also has cocktails and pizza at night. We will definitely be back for pizza in the future. We also had a great time meeting the distillery owners and doing a free tasting and talking for about 30 minutes. Love the vibe of this place!

Loved this place! Had the blue cheese and bacon chips (good but likely not an order again item for me) and the Italian sub pinwheels which were really yummy. A little greasy from the pesto and cheese but in a great way! Kentucky coffee was delicious and selection of bourbon is top notch. Loved the outdoor patio with our doggo. Will come back for sure

Came here for coffee with a friend, got the Lavender Lemon Espresso Tonic from their spring menu, and friend got the Blackberry Cardamom Latte. Both were fresh and delicious. My espresso tonic was an interesting mix of rich bitterness from the espresso, a bite from the lemon, smooth floral notes with the lavender, and finished with the effervescent tingling from the tonic water. Friend enjoyed her latte and said it was a perfect amount of sweetness. The vibe here is relaxed, fun, and the back patio was a great spot to catch up on a Friday morning. Looks like they host some events etc which would be a great time I'm sure. The staff let us be, but when we needed them they were friendly and fast. Perfect! Will def come back to check out the food.

Best damn breakfast burrito around for 10 bucks. Tasty and fancy. Great sauce. Yummy coffeee - breezy professional service. Old Town charming

Good happy hour pizza. Service is pretty good. Casual, adult atmosphere. Parking not always easy, but the city has a free lot a couple of blocks away.

Wow, if we lived within walking distance of this spot, we'd be going every week! What a gem. Came here on a Friday night for a date with the hubs. Arrived a little before the music started and snagged the last available seats at the bar. It was popping! Really loved the vibe here and all the servers were super friendly. We started with a sampling of the Colorado whiskeys, which was fun. Later on the hubs ordered a chai old fashioned which was incredible and I opted for a Manhattan which was also delicious. Grade A bevvies. The food was equally amazing. We started with the pinwheels , then I got a veggie sandwich and he got a French dip - both came with chips and were great. The hubs was still a little hungry afterwards so we ended with the artichoke dip, which was yummy but a bit rich for our tastes. Overall a fantastic place to hang out and listen to some live local music while enjoying good food, drink, and company!

Went to the Bluegrass tonight and was really bummed at the service. When we first arrived, we had one waitress who got our drink order and drinks with no issue. After that, she disappeared. We then waited and waited and finally had to ask another waitress if we could order. She took our order and brought out our food with no issue. Then, we waited and waited again and finally had to ask for our check. She seemed surprised that we were asking. Furthermore, our waters were never refilled. It was like our party of six wasn't really there.

Christmas bar pop up was so gorgeous and fun!! The drinks were pretty strong, but still good. There was an hour wait so we walked around olde town until they could seat us. The staff was a little all over the place but I think that's to be expected. I'd come back to bluegrass another time for the non holiday experience.

OK, so I hope for this review is that the owners and management see this. Took my family in two days ago for a cheese pizza with half two other ingredients. The pizza came out in my opinion pretty late and the server delivered it with the bottom of the pizza being completely black he then as he put it down said yep we burned it a little bit. We could take some more money off or be happy to redo it so we opted for the redo that was close to another half an hour of a wait. Then when it came out, it was also partially burnt by this time. We were so hungry. We just went ahead and ate it for the kind of prices that they're charging plus no wait staff and the tables are dirty. I believe that until management makes some better decisions and puts the customer first that this place is best to be avoided. I am all about supporting local businesses, but I will support a different local businesses that is a pizzeria. Also, the fact that the server would even bring out a product like that needs to be re-examined you don't serve something like that to customers at a business that you want to keep open, regardless of the fact that he offered money off and to make us wait for a redo.

Super cute neighborhood pizza pub. Admittedly have only been there to drink. Amazing cozy vibe and friendly service. Just wish they had more bathrooms.

A lovely staple in Olde Town. Note: Inside is table service, outside/patio is bar/counter service (open tabs allowed). They have a small Indoor area that's cozy and dark with whisky on the shelves, while they have outdoor patio space out front and in the back. Pizzas are great - select a staple or create your own. Well liquors are still decent quality and/or supporting those small businesses. They do breakfast and dinner so a great place to roll into brunch and into drinking time too. I never have a bad memory here and staff are nice.

Of all places, we met up with KY friends in Denver and at a bourbon and bluegrass themed restaurant. The atmosphere is open and friendly, including a shared bar table in the middle of the room. Families, couples and groups were all in attendance. The acoustic music was loud, but not so much as to prevent all conversation. The drinks were all delicious, from wine to espresso martinis to bourbons, and we had a couple of picky bourbon drinkers. We all shared the artichoke dip and a white pizza. Outdoor seating is available, but it was raining. We had a great time, and would love to return on another visit.

I was a regular here 3 years ago. Their breakfast burrito was $6 and fantastic. Now it's $12 and honestly hard to choke down. Their pizzas are still great though, however I've stopped ordering my regular cocktail since that went downhill too. I know it's hard out there for restaurants right now, but I hope this place can redeem their former glory.

Not safe if you are celiac. Has gf listed on the menu. Even though they claimed it was safe for me to eat there, I got very sick from gluten cross contamination 2 hours after I left. So disappointed.

After a fun afternoon of disc golf, my husband and our good friend decided to get an early dinner. We shared the Bacon & Blue Chips and the Secretariat. I have never had chips like the bacon & blue. They were addictive! Crispy kettle chips, bacon, faint blue cheese (I could have handled a little more funk but still good), balsamic glaze, and fresh tomatoes. Yes please! As for our pizza it was good but not outstanding. It needed a sauce. It said it came with an Alfredo sauce but either there wasn't enough of it or it cooked too much to just make it feel like it was some crispy cheese. If we're in the area, I'd definitely come back because of their fun staff and great backyard style outdoor eating area!

Favorite coffee shop of all time!! It's our neighbor coffee spot and the kindest baristas and people work here. Perfect for a work situation that turns into a fun night out. We even got engaged here! The happiest place

Took like 40 minutes to get 3 sandwiches when other people were served quickly, so I went to the close out, said they were almost ready, I said ok can I get that beer then? And she slammed the beer down on the table we were sitting at and walked away? Whole experience was just kind of weird not sure what the deal was

I would have bet almost everything I own that I had already shared my love of the Bluegrass. In short--if you hate amazing coffee, bourbon, pizza great drinks and even better people! Check it out!
