The Dickens Tavern - Longmont

Cocktails were terrible and overpriced. Also not a speakeasy by any definition of the word. Just heard the owner is trying to kill the 30 year old coffee shop upstairs. Go anywhere else.

This can't be Longmont, Colorado. But it is! How lucky are we? It was a quiet Tuesday. I wonder what the weekend is like? We only had one cocktail each but the decor was awesome and so was the bartender.

Ok, here’s the deal folks, if you’re a twenty-something who doesn’t know or care about how a cocktail tastes as long as you look cool holding it while (weirdly) flexing with the biker crowd, give this place a shot. The space is really cool and could be a wicked little jazz joint with top shelf world class cocktails, but that’s not who they choose to be and I suppose that’s fine. The drinks are notably sub-par while claiming to be more, it’s hot as balls in the coolest part of the space, and for the love of god, don’t make eye contact with the aggro bro crowd they’ve obviously sought to attract.

Great open mic but the bartenders seem to look down on you if you don’t order a drink with alcohol.

For the folks that gave this place a negative review, you need to grow tougher skin. This place has always been a pretty awesome place and I continue to go there. The drinks are a bit pricey but they're really good, the pool table have always been functional, the entertainment always has something going on and the staff has been really respectful. A very chill and relaxed vibe, so if you're coming here acting all tough due to insecurity issues, the problem isn't the place, its YOU. Look INWARD, I beg of you to not turn this place into a 3's. Thanks!
