Jake's specializes in beers from fairly obscure breweries from around the US. Having tried most of the ones on their menu, I can say that most are OK, nothing to write home about. Its main plus is it is not an obnoxious sports bar running ESPN all day. Comfortable atmosphere, friendly bartenders. But three things keep me from being a regular: closed Sundays, early closing hours for a bar, and another review noted it was "baby friendly". Really? Give me a break.
Review Source:I wish I could give this place a 5, but I went in tonight, and the coffee bar did not have coffee. Or, they did have coffee, they just didn't have the staff trained on making coffee drinks. Apparently, only the Friday night staff has a barista at this COFFEE bar. That just doesn't make sense to me. Anyhoo, perhaps I'll only go there on Friday nights then. But, I do believe customers deserve consistency and staff people that know how to offer what is advertised.
It's tough finding a place to hang out in Littleton that caters to non-drinkers with micro-brew loving husbands. The first time we went, we thought we found our place. They serve Corvus coffee, and it was the best latte I've had in Littleton - and, I've tried them all. It really was the perfect place for us, so I'm just slightly disappointed that it's only perfect some of the time, and not by accident.
If Ernest Hemingway were alive and lived in Littleton, he would go to Jake's everyday to write and have a (few) whiskey (whiskies). Jake's has that throw back atmosphere that I love and the small town feel that brought my husband and me to Littleton.
During the day, Jake's has great coffee. Â There's not really a menu, besides the little chalkboard with a few drinks scratched on it, but if you ask, they can make a lot of drinks for you. Â I can't speak for the beer list, but the bartender did kindly make this preggo a mocktail that was quite perfect and fooled me pretty well. My husband is having fun trying the different beer selections. Â
There's not a full menu, but if you want a restaurant, there are plenty down the street. Â Go to Jake's for the atmosphere and drinks- that's enough.
I am loving this place. While the night we went they could not make any coffee, the beer service was prompt and friendly, the suggestions were great, and I just like the small venue to enjoy some great drinks and chats.
This is definitely a place I plan to visit a number of times and hope their selection of beers stays diverse.
I know what you're thinking - "Gee Wiz, Vodka likes a bar. Â Who'da thunk it?" Â But here's the deal, good people - there's bars, and there's places like Jake's.
My first visit was to meet a good friend who had been here once before. Â The bartenders remembered her and were very friendly and welcoming. Â They took care of the entire bar without anyone running empty. Â Or at least I didn't. Â Which is all that really counts. Â It's spacious, has a nice patio on the street on downtown Littleton, and has a nice group of patrons.
Happy Hour consists of $3 Colorado beers, which is awesome. Â And no, that doesn't mean Coors light drafts. Â Real craft beers from our beloved state. Â The menu is just tapa's (hipster for "appetizers", but the queso dip and sausage platter were both hitting the spot. Â
This is a great bar. Â In fact, I think it's my favorite now. Â It's great to have a spot like like this near my new 'hood!
Oh and one more thing - next time I come here, I'm using the women's bathroom. Â I don't care if it gets me thrown out, it's far too beautiful to not open to the public. Â Trust me.
Littleton's newest cool spot!! Â The bartenders are super friendly and don't mind taking time to pair suitable beer selections with your specific tastes. Â Had a delicious glass of Lindeman's Framboise! Â Reminded me of my recent trip to Bruges, Belgium. Â First class service is a welcome arrival to ho hum Littleton!
Review Source:What a great place! Â The coffee is great, free WiFi with plenty of outlets, a large TV and ample seating including a patio out front. Â The breakfast burrito was fantastic as well. Â
To top it off, the staff are super nice. Â This is my first time here and I might make this my daily post-school study haunt.
Did I mention they have beer?
Excellent time there last night with my wife, it did not feel like a bar but three beers and several hours later I was in a very good place. Â Sat on the patio and next thing I know a bluegrass trio started playing on the sidewalk. Â Limited food menu is the only thing stopping me from giving them 5 stars but then again, it is a bar.
Review Source:Great idea to do a coffee shop in the morning and brew pub in the evenings. The coffee is excellent. They get pastries from a wonderful local bakery (Trompeau--yum!!). I don't know a lot about beer, but they seem to have a nice selection of craft beers to choose from and do happy hour weekdays (ends at 6). A broader selection of food would be nice, especially meatless.
The best part is the wonderful staff. Very friendly, helpful, you don't get the feeling you're annoying them if you ask for something (hello! why do so many servers have a problem with serving, and not only that but feel a need to make it obvious?)
Oh and nice bluesy music, not too loud, but just right. I'm glad that the TV's been off when we've been there because that's not our thing.
LOVE their chai! Not too sweet, thank God, and wonderfully gingery.
I'm so happy Jake's is here!
