    Really fun Christmas drinks! All the food had cheese which I can’t eat, but everything else was so fun! Such a great hidden holiday bar!

    Ordered sparkling wine and it was lukewarm. She gave me a large ice cube to put in it but that just watered it down

    Drinks were pretty good and the environment is adorable! Was not impressed with my fig jam and chili cheese dip, which I’m pretty sure was just Boursin cheese with store bought fig paste hastily spread across. Would go back for drinks but not food!

    The food was very underwhelming. Extremely expensive. Ambience and drinks were good.

    Not a lunch spot! Guy at the door hates life and didn’t even look up at us. Came for a 1 pm rez. We were one of 2 tables. Don’t need a rez during the day lol. Service was a bit slow. Was our anniversary. Will not be back. If you like run I guess a spot to grab a drink if your around.

    It was Sunday at 5 pm and the DJ played great music, but obnoxiously too loud -felt like it should’ve been a Friday night downtown. It would’ve been fine if they just turn down the music a notch so that people could enjoy a conversation.

    Music was way too loud, both inside and outside. Very difficult to have conversation.

    Pretty atmosphere, delicious cocktails & a lively DJ on the weekend: a TRIFECTA!! Please note that 20% gratuity will be automatically added to your check; not a problem but if I wouldn’t have noticed this and had added another 20%, I would have been upset in the morning.

    Being Latina, love finding spots in Denver that understand the Latin fusion feel correctly and Ay Papi nailed it! Will go back for more guava infused drinks and their phenomenal cubano sandwich and to visit the well looking and friendly staff :)

    Great location in Cherry Creek. This new spot will do well, but some tweaks are needed to the food and drink menus. The drinks we had were lackluster compared to other nearby spots. The food menu was limited, but our intent was just an app or two and cocktails. We will return once they workout some kinks.

    Coming from a Caribbean person who is from South Miami, I expected just a bit more. The service was great, all the staff were kind and helpful. However, the food was overpriced in my opinion for what they were offering but it’s in Cherry Creek so to be expected. And, the menu is deceiving. It’s just the same things in two different columns. All there is, is cubanos (sandwiches) and ceviche one with halibut and one with some type of watermelon feel which is authentic to whom? I don’t know. I expected way more variety of cuban/carribean cuisine personally. Drinks were decent and were aesthetically pleasing. The DJ was decent but could’ve had more flair. Just a few afrobeats and that was it, no latin music, no mix of reggae, etc. So overall it’s not a bad place but it’s not definitely not hitting the nail on latin flair and authenticity.
