Caesar's Take
A true neighborhood gastropub in a 1915 renovated grocery store in the heart of Old Town Longmont. This is the kind of place that doesn't advertise because it doesn't need to. Seasonal menus, serious cocktails, fine whiskeys, and a patio with its own personality. The food is genuinely upscale for a neighborhood bar and the happy hour makes it accessible.
What to order
Tomato basil soup, Mac n' Cheese with English red cheddar and crispy prosciutto, and Steak Frites are the standouts. Duck Duck, Short Ribs, and the Fresh Catch are the more ambitious dinner options. Brunch runs Sundays with award-winning Bloody Marys and Mimosas at $12.
Patio
Outside patio has small gazebos to reserve, each with its own chandelier and twinkly lights, a community table in the center, and a bar. Heaters available for colder evenings. One of the more distinctive patio setups in Longmont.
