Bohemian Biergarten – Boulder, CO

I never expected to find a central European restaurant in the middle of Boulder, Colorado. When I saw Bohemian Biergarten and took a look at their menu I knew I had to check them out.

Their menu had foods from Germany, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, and Hungary. The restaurant was a beautiful historic building with vaulted ceilings and brick walls. It really helped capture an old world feel.

I had to order the Pierogies. I could not wait to try these homemade cheese and potato dumplings. I got them fried, but boiled is also an option. They were garnished with onions, garlic, and mushrooms. The filling was so creamy and the dough was tender. They served a spicy dipping sauce on the side that was unique, and it truly was spicy.

The Bavarian Poutine was spectacular. The fresh cut fries were sweet tasting and topped with melted Gruyere cheese, and a house creamy mushroom sauce. The mushrooms were a nice addition to the gravy, it added additional texture. It was a rich and savory poutine. It was great for sharing.

They had many beers and cocktails to choose from. I ordered one of the house specialties called The Honey Bite. This was a blend of wild cider, paulaner hefeweizen. There was a thin layer of foam that had honey drizzled on top. It was an amazing combination, the honey in each sip really made this drink delicious.

The food and drinks were amazing and I’m glad I came across this place. To my surprise when I went to the restroom, I saw that Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives had visited this place. I found Guy’s signature on the mirror. What a fun surprise. 

If you are in Boulder make sure to check them out.

Redstone Meadery – Boulder, CO

While traveling around the US, it is easy to come across a variety of wineries, breweries and distilleries. I always enjoy visiting those places. But in Boulder, Colorado, I got very excited when we came across a Meadery. These are not common to find and as someone who loves mead getting to visit Redstone Meadery was a nice surprise

It’s a small place, but they offer so many choices of meads that you can try and purchase.

The Passionfruit Nectar was one of my favorites. It had a tropical sweet flavor that became tart as I continue to drink, then at the end, it had a slight spicy taste.

Another favorite, which I bought a bottle of, was the traditional Mountain Honey Wine. I could taste the sweet honey flavors of Orange Blossom and Wildflower. It gave off a consistent taste of citrus with each sip.

The 2011 Peach Reserve was released in 2018. There was not much left. It was sweet for sure with a blend of three different honeys that included meadow foam. It has a great subtle flavor of peaches.

Red Raspberry Mountain Honey Wine had a medium sweet taste. The raspberry flavor blended well with the clover and orange blossom honey. It was very smooth and would taste delicious with dark chocolate.

An interesting mead was the Nectar of the Hops. This was a dry mead with very little sweetness. It was created with hops, so it had a subtle taste like you would find in beer. It even had a light bubbly feel to it. It was extremely interesting.

If you like mead or just want a unique experience, then check out Redstone Meadery. The staff is really friendly. Check them out at www.redstonemeadery.com

Tony P’s – Denver, CO

Tony P’s is a great neighborhood bar in Denver, Colorado.

You can sit at tables or at the bar. I love sitting at the bar and I got great service from the owner.

There are some must tries if you visit.

The garlic bread is freshly made breadsticks that are baked to perfection. They are topped with olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese. You can add mozzarella for extra, but it’s not necessary. They were delicious just on their own.

Pan roasted meatballs we perfect. These homemade meatballs are tender and juicy. The flavor was amazing. You get four big meatballs so it’s perfect for sharing. They serve their homemade marinara sauce on top. The taste of oregano and basil in their sauce is amazing. They serve grilled ciabatta on the side, which is perfect to soak up all the extra sauce

If you love brussels sprouts then order the Brussel sprouts with pancetta. This is a dish is char-roast  in their wood-burning oven. Then they drizzle balsamic glaze and olive oil on top. They sprinkle parmigiano Reggiano cheese to give a little extra salty taste. The crispy texture of the sprouts was perfect.

With a wood-burning oven ordering a pizza is a must. We ordered a small pepperoni pizza to share. The crust came out nice and crispy. I love the burnt spots on the crust. It had a great smoky taste. I enjoyed the homemade dough. It was sweet and complemented the salty taste of the cheese.

If you are still hungry, check out their assortment of homemade desserts. They are perfect to take to go. If you’re in the Highland area of Denver, make sure to check out Tony P’s. It was so delicious we visited twice.
