Summer Soiree Elite Event @ CafeBar

This event was wonderful, I loved meeting so many Unilocalers! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming to an outsider of the elite community. I loved the duck raviolis!!!

This event was very laid back, and I had a great time. This was one of the most pleasurable Elite events that I’ve been to yet.
The venue at CafeBar was surprisingly nice for the neighborhood that was driven through to get there. It was very unexpected.
It was very relaxing to be on the patio. The vibe was comforting, and the atmosphere was nice and functional to encourage conversation to other Unilocalers. The group of people was diverse, and very interactive. The number of participants was also well paired with our patio capacity.
The food was great all around, and the staff was beyond helpful with any questions that I had. They were quick with the drinks too. I’d definitely return to the venue for an individual trip to experience it for a proper CafeBar review. I’ll be back to use the Denver Passport offer sooner than later too.

Excellent event!
Red Sangria was amazing, food was delicious, staff was on top of their game!
Love the idea of meeting new Unilocal folks — but as is always the case — my match was a no show. But I did say help and greet a couple of other new faces, so I made up for it!
Cute place, although a little dangerous to park on the wrong side of the street and run across — noted for next time!
Patio is adorable, and I will be back to enjoy the patio before the summer weather ends!
Thanks Frances (and Tiffany N) — great time!

What a fun event! Is there anything better than spending a beautiful summer afternoon on the shaded patio, sipping white sangria, enjoying some tasty bites and mingling with fellow Unilocalers? I think not!
I really enjoyed CafeBar. I could have drank those white mimosas all night, they were so amazing. My +1 (hubby Jeff) loved both of the Blue Nectar Tequila cocktails. We only had a small sampling of the food but everything was delicious! The duck raviolis and lemon ricotta gnocchi was great, but I really liked the potato and goat cheese pirogi! Yum! The crostini’s with artichoke tapenade were tasty too. I’ve never been to the CafeBar previously, but based on the tasty samples and excellent service, I will be sure to check them out again, soon.
I loved the idea of adding a random country or state to our name tag to encourage mingling. How fun! We met a few new Unilocalers and had some really nice conversations.
I already have my Denver Passport, so we didn’t pick one up at the event. However, I didn’t leave empty handed since we got a pair of Unilocal Elite socks. Fun! I tried to control my excitement at the time, but couldn’t wait to put them on when we got to the car after the event. They’re amazing!
Thanks so much to everyone who made this afternoon so much fun: Unilocal,Frances, Tiffany, CafeBar, Blue Nectar Tequila, and the Denver Passport! You all ROCK and made this a fantastic event!

Yet again another smashing with fellow Unilocaler’s. Thanks so much to CafeBar, Denver Off the Wagon, Blue Nectar, Imbibe, Francis and Tiffany. This event went quite smoothy. The drinks we’re very tasty and well made by the bartenders. The food was plenty and quite varied. I especially enjoyed the Pierogis with the goat cheese sauce. The nocchi we pretty good, maybe a bit more seasoning was needed. The duck Agnolotti was spot on and delicious. The olive crustini with maybe goat cheese was interesting and tasty as well. I know by now your thinking I should have just said every thing was good. It was all good. Service was good for the most part, towards the end the drink servers were a bit confused and maybe overwhelmed, oh well we never had an empty glass tho. I feel a UYE here would be a great idea like Demitri suggested.
Can’t wait to go back. Thanks again everyone who helped make this happen.

Great food and drinks and greater company!
Thanks Frances!

It was a perfect ending to my weekend — unique cocktails and outstanding food. The tequila lemonade was almost too good that you forgot it had alcohol in it and the duck ravioli was fantastic. It you get a chance to order it — do it!
Whether you eat inside or outside on the patio, CafeBar is surprising large and seemed to be able to accommodate a decent crowd.
It was great catching up with my old elite Unilocalers and meeting new ones too.
Thanks to Francis, CafeBar and the Denver Passport for their work and sponsorship.

What an Awesome Event and a great time to meet other Elites and Fellow Unilocalers. I didn’t meet the person Who also had Texas because were the same State. But I still talked to new Unilocalers and Old ones. And it was great seeing new faces.
It took place on the patio. I started off with a White Sangria. And Ate Something on bread with Olives in it. OK If you put Olives on a Pizza I don’t eat it. But this was delicious.
Then I Nom Nom Nomd on the Perogies and then something else that had spinach leafs.
All were delicious. And the Lemonade was great and the Red Wine Sangria.
This is a nice little spot and its quaint. And I seen some other couple order the Hangar Steak and the Burger with the Onion. I believe it was the Bison Burger.
And the Charcuterie plate looked delicious as well.
Another Great event put on by Frances and Tiffany. And I could see this as a Nice place for a UYE in the future on a warm summer night.
Am I right or Am I right?

Nothing like playing a lumerjack in the morning and working my ass off in the Waldo Canyon burn area to showing up and switching to fine dining in the evening. I had never heard of the CafeBar until this event. Like Arnold, «I’ll be back.» I don’t think I was a labor induced haze from earlier in the day, but the Duck Dumplings/​Raviolis were Di|vine! I wish there would have been little placards telling us what each of the items was at the self serve buffet area. Everything was good, but did I mention the Duck Dumplings were Di|vine??? I’ll plan on bringing some friends here just for that one thing.
It was great to see Frances and Tiffany again. They are always so cheerful. The Blue Nectar Tequila drinks were flowing very generously. As was the conversation.
I brought my daughter, who wants to be an elite too, and we had a GR|EAT time at this event! The staff was super friendly and helpful.
Thanks Frances, Tiffany, CafeBar, Blue Nectar Tequila and Unilocal

Unilocal Socks?! Awesome!
This was a great little soirée, and what a nice patio! I only sampled a bite of each of the noshes, as I left my appetite in my other pants. Which was probably a good thing because I would have eaten everything. Frances, you’re doing a great job encouraging us to mingle. I’m amazed I haven’t heard of this place before, but grateful to you for introducing me, so I can come back!
Win!

What a cute little event!
Most of the food was outstanding — the duck ravioli was my personal favorite! The lemon ricotta gnocchi was the perfect summer-​time comfort food — light and zesty, with the perfect fluffy texture. I was sadly underwhelmed by the perogies, but the other bites more than made up for it.
As for the white sangria… amazing. I could have sat outside and drank that all day.
All in all, great food and drink along with some sweet socks and company made for a lovely little Sunday afternoon/​evening event! Thanks, Frances!

I would venture to say this was the best Elite function I have been too. It was a really nice summer day. The crowd was lower key and a great mix of people I had met previously and those I have not run into. I found my California WOOHOO!!!
My non Unilocaler plus 1 had great time and is signing up as we speak. She has also volunteered to be my plus when whenever I need one.
Now the event… The space was great. I had no idea this place even existed and I have driven this neighborhood several times. The patio is lovely, the cool breeze was funneling through the several trees that lined the patio and lent a nice hint of nature to the patio area. The morsels provided were fresh and flavorful. A few of us were also told by the chef that the Duck Agnolotti would be offered on the Fall Menu. I will certainly be back for that as well as to sample some other things that caught my eye.
I was fortunate enough to win the The Denver Passport, so now I have a whole list of places to visit the remainder of the summer. I am pleased to say I did not spill a drop this event!
It was truly nice to meet some new faces and find a new point of view on a few things. Also to catch up with some I see in the crowd but never really got an opportunity to work my way to during other events. The big events are great, but the more intimate ones I appreciate.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was the chance to meet Andrew. As always it was especially wonderful to see Frances and Tiffany you have certainly passed the torch to a marvelous representative for us.
Thank you for a lovely summer Sunday afternoon.

This wonderful summertime Unilocal event was cool, intimate, and relaxed! The drinks delicious drinks never stopped flowing and the wonderful light bites were aplenty, thanks to the excellent service of the staff at CafeBar.
Thanks to Frances, Tiffany, and CafeBar for such a lovely late June evening spent on the patio!

What a lovely afternoon for white sangria, tasty bites, and patio socializing courtesy of the fantastic crews of Unilocal and CafeBar.
Despite being told my face broke the photographer’s camera (hope you scored at any rate, man [haha]), it was a lovely time. The food was deeeelish! My fave was the potato and goat cheese pirogi; close second was the gnocchi. The artichoke tapenade on crostini was nice but a little salty for my taste. But nothing a little white sangria couldn’t wash down!
Duder reported the duck raviolis as being tasty, and he enjoyed the Paloma drink and red sangria as well. Bartender and server were nice and attentive, and the food and drink were both a’plenty!
This was a nice, relaxing Unilocal event — perfect for a Colorado Sunday afternoon. Thank you to CafeBar, Frances, Tiffany N., and all the others involved in the planning and execution of this awesome event!

The patio at CafeBar is absolutely lovely and thus the perfect setting for a Summer Soirée of Unilocal Elites. The sun stayed behind the clouds and the rain kindly waited until after the party was over. And when the sangria is free flowing, is it possible not to have a good time?
I certainly enjoyed the pasta trio — pirogi, gnocchi, and ravioli — as well as the crostini. Everything was plentiful and flavorful. The CafeBar staff was super friendly and totally on the ball.
I can’t imagine wearing my Unilocal Elite socks at this point in the Summer but you can bet I’ll be sporting them this Winter (okay…I’m completely lying… I have them on right now!). I can only hope our Unilocal Sloshball players will adopt them as part of their uniform for the rest of the season (ahem).
Frances informed us that our Elite community is growing and that’s really exciting. I loved the idea of matching up with another Elite from the same country or state as you (Hey, Y’all — did you know I was from England?!?) to meet and talk with someone you probably have never met before. I was introduced to Heather and her husband, Ryan, expectant parents who recently moved to Denver from New England. Welcome to Denver, Y’all!
Thanks so much to Frances, Tiffany, and CafeBar for a wonderful Summer evening on the patio!

Sunday June 30^th 2013. Thank you Frances for the invite and CaféBar for hosting this Unilocal Elite event this evening. Right after entering this establishment greeted by our lovely peeps aka Tiffany N. and Frances G, with our name tag and the Unilocal Socks as the Swag. We ought to find our «match» thru our name tag but unfortunately my match was «MIA». *Sigh & Little Sad Face*
The food was lay out at the Patio. With the Perogies, Duck Dumplings and something Spicy Crostini that tantalize my tastebud. All in all, what I could recall were 3 items were Vegetarian and 1 item contains Duck. I decide to seat inside and chit chat with other Unilocalers alike since it was slightly hot outside to my liking.
Nevertheless, I had a fun evening and looking forward to meet other Elite Unilocalers too. Café Bar staffs are indeed inviting and welcoming. Found out one of the staffs is also a rider aka skater aka snowboarder…
