Bardo Coffee House - 238 South Broadway
Business: 
The Bardo Coffee House

The Bardo provides essentially what every modern independent coffee shop should provide:

  • Awesome coffee (Kaladi), Chai (Bakhti/Third street) and tea options with sandwiches, pastries and juice/sodas to supplement
  • Reliable and fast WiFi with power outlets at every table
  • The ceiling has acoustic foam sprayed to it to keep the noise down
  • They segmented the space into a front area with small tables that's a bit more social, a middle section with more private booths, and a back area with couches that is more wide open again.

Gastravaganza of Beer & Street Food at Breckenridge Brewery

With a name like "Gastravaganza of Beautiful Beer & Splendid Street Food" how can you possibly say no?

Well, it's $65 and 21+ so that makes it a little easier, and it only lasts for 2 hours on September 18th from 7 to 9 so it's hard to really get your money's worth unless the food/beer will be amazing.

Are the beers good?

We will be pouring up delicious, high quality, Colorado craft beers from Wynkoop Brewing, Breckenridge Brewery, Ska Brewing, Odell's, Avery, Left Hand and Del Norte Brewing

Those are some good beers...

This photo was from a while ago in the summer and the space looks much better now.

They forgot that the first step in laying down new landscaping is to kill all the weeds so the southernmost strip of streetlawn was full of bindweed. They've now fixed that with some rock, at least for a while...

Lunch hour at the Mile High Vienna Stand got to be standing room only last week. I guess business is doing well...

They've now opened an additional location at 1312 21st Street which seems perfect for some post-lodo-bars hot dogs...

This just in from the @breckbrew twitter account:


In recognition of their 20th anniversary, Breckenridge Brewery will release the Buddha’s Hand Witbier in limited supply to Old Chicago restaurant locations in Colorado. The beer will be released to the public at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, August 4 at all Colorado Old Chicago locations during a special tapping party and will be available until September 4 or while supplies last. Buddha’s Hand witbier, is brewed in the Belgian tradition with an American twist. Cascade hops along with a grain bill of Two Row, White Wheat, Caramel 30, Carapils and Torified Wheat afford this ale its 5.5% ABV and 17 IBU’s. What makes the hazy ale so unique is the addition of the fragrant Buddha’s hand citron plant fruit. The tropical fruit is segmented into finger-like sections, resembling the hand of Buddha, and responsible for a crisp, refreshing and lightly citrusy flavor perfect for summer enjoyment.
