    Post on any of your socials if you’re going to be closed for events instead of putting a sign up at the entrance to drive business to your subpar restaurant next door.

    The Poka Lola was one of four venues that we booked for our customer appreciation events while we were attending a citywide conference in Denver. I Wish I could give them a higher rating. The ambience of the venue was exactly what we were hoping for, it was a cool hip and casual vibe. Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed with the experience based on the prices we spent. Attached is a photo of a $500 veggie tray to feed 50 people and a $675 charcuterie board to feed 75 people. We had a Food & Beverage minimum, but were still charged a room rental fee, 2 Bartender fees, 25% outlet fees and gratuities This was the only venue that we had all these “add on’s”. And we also had buyouts at the other venues. If you’re looking for event space in Denver, this would not be at the top of my recommendation list. I do want to give a positive shout out to our Bartender Lexi. She did a great job.

    Seasonal drink tasted terrible. Charcuterie board below average. Everyone was asked to leave early due to a private event.

    Great happy hour. Drinks are pretty good. Bartenders are a little standoffish

    The service was very disappointing. The bar was empty and several staff members were available. Our party sat at a table and nobody acknowledged us. We had to go to the bar and order. Very disappointing considering the amazing atmosphere.
