About this restaurant

Innovative
Neighborhood gem
Romantic

Botellón, or Spanish for "big bottle," is a cultural phenomenon in which friends get together and pitch in on a bottle to share, so they can socialize & drink without breaking the bank. At our restaurant, we work to capture the essence of a Botellón by offering a well-rounded, upscale dining experience with a neighborhood feel.

At Botellón we take learned techniques from around the world, and apply them to what is usually known as traditional Spanish food. With a focus on the styles of the Basque region, combined with a little world influence, we are very excited to bring something vibrant and unique to Denver!

We had reservations and came 30 minutes early, but they allowed us to be seated. Very much appreciated! Service was attentive without being overbearing. We were a bit disappointed in the limited menu items. Typically tapas bars/restaurants offer many choices for sampling from different categories - appetizers, vegan, meat, and seafood. Botellon does offer all of these but again limited and three offerings were already sold out which limited choices even more. Food sizes were also on the small side even taking into consideration that they are tapas-sizes. We ordered Hangar Steak for $16 and got 4 small pieces of steak. I'd understand if the accompanying sauce or embellishments made up for it, but I can't even remember any. Appetizer with proscuitto was good with good portions of delicious proscuitto. It was probably the most generous portion of all items ordered. We also ordered the Seafood Paella which was very good. It was the largest portion with plenty of mussels but one scallop and one small piece of fish for $24. Overall, it was decent but a little disappointing in terms of food. Service was wonderful though.

Great food and ambiance. Reccomend patatas bravas and pulpo. Mostly caring and informative servers, others a tad pretentious, but didn’t take away from the overall experience. Second time here and would definitely return.

Server had an attitude. Food subpar for price. Brought three items we didn't order and charged for a more expensive glass of wine than we ordered. Won't go back.

After reading all of the great reviews, we were excited to try this new tapas restaurant on our girl's night out. We were seated right away, and the service was good, although, it felt a bit rushed. To me, Spanish Tapas restaurants should have a more laid-back feel, and we almost felt like we were being rushed out. We put in our order, two tapas plates and paella, and the two tapas plates came out almost immediately. I think from beginning to end, we were in the restaurant for under an hour. I would recommend to the managers/owners to pace the plates a bit better so your diners can have a chance to savor the food. The food itself was fine, however you really can't go wrong if everything is doused in garlic aioli.

Fun atmosphere and some good tapas. Octopus was the best I've ever had! The paella was a disappointingly small dish for $25+, would have expected it to be at least twice the size for sharing. Overall a bit pricey for what you get, and they should really turn off their large TV.
