The place you bring friends and family from out of town to show them what Denver’s all about. The place you go for that after work cocktail, or your go to date spot, whether it’s your first or 50th date. The place you get the group together on a Saturday night, and where you recover together on a Sunday morning. Acova is the next Highlands institution, bearing vintage flair and contemporary charm that threads the past into the future. Acova brings you back time and again because you are part of this story now, and Acova is part of yours.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal during Happy Hour in the creatively decorated bar area. We ordered several items from the Happy Hour menu and had fun trying all the tasty food. It was a wonderful mix of flavors, and our server was very helpful in describing the entrees. The Lamb sliders, the arepas, the salad, and the sweet potato tots were all so delicious!!! It was my husband's birthday, and they brought us a nice little treat for dessert! The truffles were the most delicious I've ever had. We also split the banana cream pie, which was also tasty and prepared in a fresh way. I originally discovered this restaurant with a card coupon through Costco. ( I thought I had brought it along to the restaurant, but forgot to bring it--and was happily surprised when I realized we were there for Happy Hour. (An excellent value--and a great way to try an assortment of their dishes!) All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it!
