Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I didn’t get to try the whiskey but they do have a lot of discounts on their whiskeys and they even offer whiskey flights! This place has plenty of parking because it’s next to a garage that allows free customer parking. The entrance isn’t obvious because there are no restaurant windows in the front. The space is dim with loud music but in a very swanky man-​pad kind of way. They played x-​games on 2 of their three TVs & they played alternative/​indie music. Brunch ends @ 1PM. I ordered fried chicken thigh with pickles and a dipping sauce from the lunch menu. The chicken was very tasty and crunchy. It wasn’t too salty. The pickles were way too sweet for me. I didn’t use much of the dip because the chicken was already flavorful enough. I couldn’t finish my chicken because two large fried thighs is pretty heavy. The server was helpful but not particularly pleasant. I don’t think I saw her smile once. My group tried the cookie dough ice cream sandwich & the red velvet waffle with berry compote & vanilla ice cream. The red velvet waffle was very soft & tasted like vanilla. The compote was nice & not too sweet.

This bar knows what’s up. Here’s what you need to know: Jacob’s Mules, expansive craft beer selection and an awesome presentation when ordering straight whiskeys/​bourbons/​scotches.
Food: Brussel sprouts, pork wings and buffalo cauliflower. Those three things are what matters and if you ask their incredible staff such as Anthony you’ll be likely to hear the exact same thing. Thanks for being so awesome, WTF!

I was really looking forward to this place! I LOVE the location and the ambiance inside. It is dimly lit and there is an amazing bar that wraps around the entire side of the restaurant. They have an awesome buy one get one happy hour on drinks only (which come on… half the reason for happy hour is cheap bites). However, they give you this cute little stamped penny (like they used to have at casa bonita) and it is good for your second drink. So if you don’t need it that night be sure to bring it in on your next visit!
We enjoyed the charcuterie and the brussel sprouts. Both were tasty but not my favorite from around town. The charcuterie had two meats that were almost like bologna which was very strange. However, the cheese was awesome. Great selection and we enjoyed those the most. There was a goat cheese and one that was sliced and looked semi boring but really brought bold flavor. We licked that side of the platter clean. The brussel sprouts were okay, being the brussel sprouts goddess that I am. They could kick up the seasoning a bit but they were cooked just right. I probably wouldn’t order them again.
I had a hard cider that was not too sweet and it is actually one of my new favorite drinks. It was served in a goblet and just refreshing enough after a long day at work.

This place is definitely a new favorite of mine, this was my second time, I was here last night January 21 2016. Took my lady friend out for drinks and a bite to eat. Kind of a seat yourself scenario, so we walk through and we were greeted very professionally upon our arrival. During the visit our server maintained contact making sure we’re okay, and noticing things we might need with out us having to ask.
So we get some grub, I had heard legend of the chicken here so I went with that, a server brings out our food and it looks great. We dig in and she comes by to make sure we are doing okay and notices I got the chicken sandwich not dinner plate. I would have never noticed, I was stoked either way. Instead of just staying quiet about it she let me know, she handled this as a professional, offered me what I ordered or she’d comp my Sammy. So I got a free Sam and she got a great tip.
Drink the Jura superstition on the rocks! I’ll be back!

My first experience here was sub-​par. The beau and I met up here with a friend for happy hour to watch the final game of the Women’s World Cup. I was pregnant at the time, so I asked for a root beer, which was supposed to be on tap from Tommy Knocker. But, they ran out and I only got half a glass. The Beau ordered a draft beer, and, that too was out. Then, the food we ordered was way heavier than advertised, even for bar fare.
But, this story gets better. I recently returned for brunch, and it was delicious. I love that there is parking in the back, and that even at prime brunching time on Saturday, there wasn’t a wait. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The grits were made super velvety by the cheese, and had a nice kick thanks to the green chiles. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles, and, while the waffle was a little soggy, the fried chicken was among the best I’ve ever had!
I’ll definitely be back for brunch and to give happy hour another try.

If I could base my review on the food alone, it would easily get five stars. However, I believe that the entire experience is important. We have been here twice, and each time the service has been awful! The first time we came, there were only a few other patrons here, and it took at least thirty minutes before we were even waited on/​acknowledged. Again, I cannot stress how delicious the food was. So, we inevitably, we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the service again failed us. We are totally bummed because we live in the nearby apartments. Next time, we will just go to the pizza place or the Asian restaurant next door. Bummer.

Had high hopes after reading some reviews, but food was just ehhh, and service was non-​attentive (thankfully, we didn’t want attentiveness). Cool décor, and great tunes playing — 4 big tvs behind the bar had your game on — good neighborhood bar if you live on the block, but probably won’t be back since we don’t. 2 stars for the great whiskey, spirits, and beer selections… and shrimp tacos too.

I am a little torn on my review of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. If I was simply reviewing the food, it’d be 5 stars for sure. I got the Whiskey Burger and it was amazing. Very juicy and delicious. I also got the Fried cheese curds. They were amazing because the cheese curds came in different varieties, such as jalapeño and fried pickles.
The reason for lowering them a star (I almost lowered them 2 stars but the food was so good) is the customer service was terrible. And it wasn’t due to anyone being rude or mean. Rather, it was the bartenders that seemed to pay no attention to us at all. We were welcomed right away when we sat down, were given menus, and then ignored for at least 10 minutes. We finally asked the other guy at the bar for drinks and he appeared extremely put out that we ‘bothered’ him for a beer.
It’s a huge bummer that a place with such great beers on tap, delicious food, and a cool vibe but the bartenders were just not interested in helping us out.
I gave 4 stars because I would probably still go back, and I think everyone should try it, but it was just a little disappointing.

So… this place clearly specializes in whiskey. Why would a vodka loving girl like myself come here? Because it is almost the only game in town anywhere close to the restaurant I chose to celebrate my birthday this year. Otherwise, i would probably not have every entered this establishment.
First of all, parking is a bitch. There are a zillion residential apartment buildings here and all of the streets are 2 hr limit until 10pm. There is a parking garage that is free (I think) but it is not obvious.
There are two entry ways. I came in the door by the street and it was a little confusing about seating (seat yourself or wait to be seated). I saw my friend seated at a table at the front, and we decided to relocate because it was a super tight squeeze (in the front of the house). We asked and were told we could take any open table. We seated ourselves at a cute banquette style booth.
Service was friendly, but inconsistent. The main server got me a sample of the cider on tap (my only option since I don’t particularly like whiskey) and I tried the honeycrisp apple wheat AND LIKED IT. We ordered some snacks as well, since drinking on an empty stomach is not so smart. I asked about the special (tostones) which the server was unaware was available. We ordered brussels and cheese curds too. I finally order tostones and request that they not garnish with parsley or cilantro. «No problem, I’ll take care of you» said the waiter. So I was displeased when the bowl of tostones came out with plenty of parsley/​cilantro.
Summary:
1) Inconsistent service. Sometimes we waited a really long time for water or to pay our bill. I noticed the servers talking in the hallway. I get that they need to communicate, but maybe don’t do it in plain sight or like you’re all just hanging out.
2) Difficult parking unless you can find the parking garage.
3) great selection of drafts, i’m assuming awesome whiskey.
4) some different bar snacks than your typical bar. Crispy brussels, cheese curds, etc.

I met the fabulous Miarra J. for lunch here. She always raves about it so I thought I’d try it since she mentioned they just updated their menu. I got there a little bit before her and there were 2 other people in there. It was really quiet in there. So I could hear the jams they were piping through the speakers. Anytime you play soul music or Motown, you have my heart. So I was pleasantly surprised just right there.
After having a mini dance sesh in my seat, I looked over their fabulous drink menu. We are allowed to drink on our lunch break at work and so I said why not? The server told me that they have over 115 whiskeys to chose from.
I ordered my whiskey neat. I’ve had trouble ordering it this way at several different places around Colorado. I guess people don’t know what a True whiskey neat is. These guys do. I am slightly disappointed in our server’s attitude while explaining the difference. She was a little uppity about it. I mean I know Whiskey is in the name of your restaurant and you have over 100 from your selection, but you don’t need to be snooty when explaining this to your customers. Especially when you make your living on service.
I will give it up to them on presentation. They severed the whiskey beautifully and they accompanied it by a freshly made salted caramel. (See photo) My friend and I ordered the shrimp and grits for lunch. The flavor of the shrimp was tasty and the grits were cooked well. The portion size was nice too. It’s one of their new menu items and I definitely think they should keep it.
I enjoyed my time at Whiskey. I’m sure I will be back to try again and maybe they can be bumped up to 5 stars.

Food was ok. Service was awful. Went on a Sunday for football and they were understaffed and never did anything to make up for that fact.
We called ahead to see if they would play the game we wanted, took 5 or 6 times asking bartenders and waiters to put it on. Finally half way through the game a manager finally puts our game on the smallest tv available.
The location stinks. Won’t be going here any time soon.

I keep coming here for brunch. The salmon board is one of my favorites. One of these days, I’ll have to make it for dinner because the food rocks.
The whiskey menu is pretty swell, also. Try the Hot Tango!
Parking used to be easy around this place but now with all the new apartments, good luck. This place is still worth the travel.

A sophisticated bar with a young twist!
What an amazing find! This place is truly something special. The service is phenomenal, the bartender attempts to make small talk to nearly everyone sitting at the bar. They have any exceptional list of beers and offer some very classy drinks with a bit of a twist.
This place is somewhat tucked away however it seems to always remain busy! A great place to hangout with friends or even to meet some new ones. I will definitely be coming back more than once.
Overall this place is great! No matter what mood you’re in you cannot go wrong coming here. I would recommend this for hanging out, late night drink and meeting new people.

I was visiting my cousin in Denver and she lives within walking distract of this place so we decided to check it out.
Unfortunately I wasn’t starving so we just ordered some fried cheese curds and Brussels. They were wonderful! The cheese curds also had fried jalapeños with them which was an amazing surprise. The Brussels were great as well.
They had BOGO La Fin Du Monde which is a great deal considering that’s an amazing beer.
We sat upstairs on the patio during a beautiful evening which added to the charm of the place, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting an offbeat delicious meal.

I only came here once but now I wish I had gone here more often. I guess I’ll have to stop here more frequently once I make the move to Denver. This was a pit stop for us to start the night but it was my favorite stop of our crusade.
It was a Monday evening and we all stopped here for a quick pre game drink plus some eats while watching the Packers & Chiefs duel it out on MNF. I ordered the hazelnut brown nectar beer for my drink. Smooth with a tootsie roll flavor finish. For food, I got the fries and cheese curds. Some of the best cheese curds I’ve ever had and the fries weren’t bad either. I couldn’t order anything else since we had to meet some other friends at this other place that wasn’t anywhere as good as this one.
I just browsed the online menu before reviewing and they have a nice selection of drinks including alcoholic milkshakes and a nice whiskey selection. They have Buffalo Trace, one of my favorite Kentucky bourbon-​whiskeys, not sure why other places don’t have it. Oh that’s right, this is a whiskey bar! It makes sense now. Anyways kudos to them for carrying it plus the local whiskers like Stranahans.
As soon as I move to Denver, I’ll be at this spot as much as I can. Just thinking about it makes me crave it already. I’ll be back Foxtrot!

I came with a friend to attend the very first Women and Whiskey tasting a few weeks ago. What a fun event! I definitely would never have known about WTF if it weren’t for Unilocal (thank you Frances G for posting about the event in the talk threads!), and I am so glad that I did.
The tasting was great. They paired the selection of Colorado whiskeys with a plate of fruit, and I was very surprised how the different fruits brought out different flavors in the whiskey. For starters we had Double Diamond whiskey from Downslope Distilling paired with strawberries, blueberries, red and yellow raspberries, and figs. Second, Breckenridge Bourbon with Ranier cherries, Bing cherries, pluots, and plums. Finally, Dancing Pines Bourbon with a variety of apples and pairs.
During the tasting, the establishment’s owner talked (at length) about whiskey. It was pretty dry. He went on and on about how distilling works and the legal requirements that make, say, a bourbon a bourbon or a scotch a scotch. Knowing that his audience were women, he was definitely talking down to us and consistently referred to whiskey as «your grandfather’s drink.» As if a beverage could be masculine or feminine! He even felt that he had to answer very beginner questions that no one was asking, like what «proof» means. Okay, if you’re experienced enough to appreciate a whiskey, neat, then you DEFINITELY know what «proof» means by now! He should have been talking about the flavors of the liquor, how to taste it properly, and why the particular fruits change the flavor in particular ways. Anyway, once you got past the blatant sexism of the whole thing, it was actually pretty fun! Overall, very delicious and informative.
I was truly impressed by the quality of the people who work at WTF. I personally met the owner (who is really a very nice man, despite the (probably unintentional) sexist remarks), the manager, the social media coordinator, and lots of other people. The waitstaff is FANTASTIC — prompt, friendly service; and they’re always looking around to see if anyone needs anything. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, they really enhanced the experience. I can’t say enough good things about them!
Speaking of the people, the best part of the tasting was when the chef came out to talk about her pairing choices. I wish she had spoken more, because I really enjoyed hearing from her and felt she could have gone into greater detail. But she did briefly describe the whiskeys, the fruit, and how they went together. I wanted more of that!
The next parings will be Kentucky bourbon and chocolate, then scotch and cheese. They sound so fun. I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it (Denver is a long drive on a weekday for me), but I’m going to try! If anyone else is interested in this tasting series, stop deliberating and buy your tickets now, it’s totally worth it.
Oh, as a side note: I got to WTF a little early for the event and hand’t had the chance to grab dinner, so I ordered the tuna bahn mi sandwich to share with my friend. If you come here, GET THIS SANDWICH. It is so good! After the tasting my friend and I stuck around to try more of the menu items, so we shared an order of the Brussels sprouts and split a fried fish sandwich. We came to the conclusion that this bar has a fantastic, restaurant-​quality kitchen. Yum yum yum, I would order all of these things again in a heartbeat!

So I’m completely in love with this place.
Was in the area because of work and it’s freaking hot out so definitely needed to come in and have a delicious drink.
Whiskey is my favorite and I’ve had my eye on stopping by WTF for a while so I was super happy that I was right across the street from it.
Had the the delicious foxtail called a tall glass of water. Colorado peach whiskey is the best. Perfect drink for summer!
I had lunch right before I came in but decided to go with the roasted Brussels sprouts. They were perfect and the flavors with the balsamic were great.
I decided to take a seat at the bar. Eli was a great bartender and I’m very excited to have more amazing and delicious adventure at WTF!
Also I won Rockie’s tickets! They have a raffle every Saturday from 1 to 3 woot woot!

I had the pleasure of dining here on Friday night. Not many places out there that knock my socks off but this place succeeded. Their menu is small, but packs a mighty punch. I started with their version of the Manhattan. Perfectly made.
For our appetizer we ordered the pork meatballs. Four delicious meatballs with green chili and queso fresco cheese on top. I highly recommend. Followed with the fried chicken. A different take on a classic. Loved it.
The service was attentive and not overpowering or forced. Three Foxhattans later and I am a fan. I can’t wait to come back.

I’ve been to WTF three times now. The first time, just 6 weeks after they opened, was lovely! The rooftop is beautiful and perfect for catching some sun with friends. There is not, however, any shaded areas so when the summer sun roles around, it will be HOT (I actually got sunburned during the two hours we sat there.)
The fried chicken was delicious, it has a thick breading (think chicken strip style) and the chicken had no bone. Different and delicious! As an avid whiskey drinker, the whiskey selection is good, some good staples and some other fun, more unknown whiskeys. My favorite part during the first experience was the presentation of whiskey and the service. Our whiskey came on this beautiful custom made whiskey board, with separate spots for whiskey, water and your glass. To top it off, it comes with a house made caramel! It was the best whiskey presentation I had ever received at a bar. On top of that, the servers were great and the manager came by to chat with us all about the opening of the place.
Here’s the sad part… I met friends for drinks two other times since then and… not so great. Both times the service was really slow, just for ordering whiskey. Then even more sadly, we did not get the amazing whiskeys boards or caramels on either one of my visits. The experience and presentation here are really what sold me. Honestly if I hadn’t had a great 1^st experience I would probably have given 3 stars… so my only hope is that they don’t get lazy with their service. I truly hope they keep up the unique experience or this place will just be ho-​hum to me.

Disclaimer: If I could give this place 8 stars… I would.
I was down to go to Whiskey Tango Foxtrot after a Cubs game at Coors Field. I am always amazed at how much they are building that area behind the field up. I was excited to try a new place.
First it was a super easy walk from union station, coors field, and the surrounding areas so there’s not excuse not to hike it over. Upon arrival it looked like a pretty sweet joint. Modern, Rustic, and Hip. They have a small patio on the sidewalk with a full restaurant seating on the main floor which is dimly lit in a cool mysterious way. The upstairs is a really fun and vibrant patio bar. The whole atmosphere really get an A+ from me. If I were to open my own restaurant/​bar this is exactly how I imagined it.
They also have plenty of TVs on the roof for sports viewing.
So now my hopes are high and my tummy is grumbling. The menu is simple and carefully selected. I opted for a milkshake and the balsamic brussel sprouts. Both were delicious but hands down the best brussel sprouts I’ve EVER had. They were beautiful in color, a gorgeous crisp to the outside, and the tangy flavor of the brussel sprout was perfectly paired with the sweet balsamic reduction. I could seriously eat this every day, a must try!
They have a great selection of beers including many local breweries. Along with a cocktail list and traditional drinks like whiskey.
Everyone at our table raved about the meals they ordered. Everything looked delicious. I saw a couple of the house fried chicken go by to another table and it was enough to make me drool. I will definitely be back to try that.
All around this is a really nice place to go with friends since they have large fun tables, or in a smaller setting, or to go and shame eat alone because everything looked so delicious! It’s a great hang out spot, after the game drink, somewhere to retreat on a hot day, and/​or great place for a date or to get to know someone. The possibilities are endless!
My only concern is that once the word really gets out about this place it will be crowded since it’s not huge… but totally worth the wait and hassle if it comes to that. It is also a tad pricey but worth every penny.
See you there!
