Cactus Grille
Loveland, CO✓ Verified
Golden Hour verified May 2026
Caesar's Take
Mike Severance ran Cactus Grille for 20 years, closed it in 2008, then brought it back in 2012. Five straight years winning Best Margarita, Best Patio, and Best Happy Hour in Loveland says the comeback worked. Downtown location, margarita soft serve, daily specials, and a happy hour every single day. A Loveland institution built over decades, not hype.
What to order
Fry bread and border dip appetizer, avocado egg rolls, crab enchiladas, and nachos are the most praised dishes. The Wicked Margarita is the signature drink. Margarita soft serve is a unique menu item worth ordering. The tap margarita is the happy hour anchor.
Patio
Voted Best Patio in Loveland per multiple local votes. Size and setup pending photo verification.

Signature move
Show up between 3 and 6pm any day, order a $7 tap margarita and $2 off appetizers, grab the fry bread and border dip to start, and stay long enough to order the crab enchiladas. Tuesday adds $2.50 wicked margaritas and $2.50 tacos on top.
Good to know
Saturday closes at midnight making it the late option of the week. Sunday closes earliest at 8pm. Margmosa Towers on Sunday are half off. The weekly special lineup covers every day so there is always a deal running.
