Review Bang Up To The Elephant! - Denver

Evan Hofmockel
Awesome restaurant! Very comfortable climate on a hot day with excellent food for reasonable prices. I also had a fizzy drink, zero-proof cocktail, that was beyond my expectations. Service was quick, helpful and gregarious. My second visit was as lovely as the first. Great cauliflower wings and very relaxing vibe overall.

I came for an early dinner last night with my wife and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was open, festive and fun. While I am not a dedicated vegetarian/vegan, my wife is, but this place had wonderful options that left me quite satisfied. We started with the jerk edamame, which had a complex flavor profile I did not expect, but it drew you in with each bite. I also had the quesadilla, that had an equally deep set of flavors that were truly a wonderful mix. Overall, the sauces and spices were incredible and I would recommend to anyone in the area.

Enjoyed a fabulous meal here with friends in October 2023. The service was lovely, and as a party with allergies they ensured all of our food and drinks would be safe. We are very appreciative. The food was incredible and the atmosphere is so unique and fun. A true must stop spot while you're in Denver! We enjoyed the curry, sandwiches, fry bread and plantain chips. The fizzies are delicious mocktails. We had a great time.

Super cool vibe, cocktails were spot on & the food was out of this world! Highly recommended & certainly looking to visit again before we go back home!

So unique and delicious! Tried a few things, and a few cocktails both boozy and not, and it's all lovely. The bartenders were friendly and helpful and the food is interesting and tasty. Ever so slight criticism, I wish the sauces had a touch more salt and acid, but that's likely just a preference thing. I'm excited to try more dishes!

Yesssss denver. Gimme all the dairy free filling goodness!!! My big complaint is that you can hear the kitchen’s tunes which aren’t the same as what’s playing in the dining area. Ouf. I was here solo, perhaps I wouldn’t have noticed it if I had a co diner. Big wins in ambiance otherwise w wild decor in a big space with tall ceilings. Put this on your list for a chill hipster vibe spot. Cocktails have been inconsistent on quality over the few times I’ve visited.

Lots to love here, but the food was just okay. Not a lot of vegan restaurants in this world, so big love for them going for it. Decor and craft cocktails were tops, but the food was wanting. We had an Indian dish (bus up?), and a tofu pineapple dish. The Indian was the better of the two, but still too dry. Roti, potato, chickpeas- tasty but no balance. Needed more acid, more sauce, maybe a chutney, but it was better than the tofu dish which was over sweet and served with a side of plain steamed (or boiled?) broccoli. Not a good dish. The appetizer was chips and plantains with little plastic cups of indistinct sauce. Not worth ten bucks. Not likely to return, but it wasn’t horrible, it was just, meh.

We came in about 10 minutes before closing and were immediately greeted and sat my a very nice man. Our server came over and told us the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes and if we knew what we wanted. We asked for a couple minutes so we could pull up the menu on our phones. Server came back a few minutes later and we gave her the entire order. Drinks arrived after the food started being dropped off. The server also forgot to bring out the peas and rice we order because she never wrote our order down. Server only checked up on us once throughout the meal and when we asked for boxes, she dropped them off and gave us the check. Total experience was 55 minutes. Food was awesome! And the drinks were really fun. The fried cauliflower and coconut bread were incredible. A must have.

Awesome space with a genuinely interesting menu. Lots of safe options done right, and plenty of choices for the more adventurous.

The decor of this place is amazing! To bad the food is mediocre. We got a veggie noodle bowl that had no flavor, we added a lot of salt. The coffee and donuts were good though. Hope they tweak the menu a bit! Could be a awesome place!

This was a terrible dining experience.. Terrible drink menu for a restaurant claiming to have a Caribbean theme. I am a chef and the flavor and overall quality of the food was very poor to say the least. I am passionate about food and it really bothers me when a restaurants cuisine in no way reflects authenticity in light of its overall theme. The waitress was also impolite. We had ghe jerk Roti which was neither jerk nor roti and the chana dish abandoned any attempt to taste the way curried chana should. I was very disappointed because it seems management did no home work in producing this menu. Apart from all of this how do you under cook potatoes.. This restaurant fails at the very basics of what they are attempting to do. Bang up to the Elephant? Yeah that really evokes the idea of eating Caribbean food sea side. However Denver is starved for anything different so poorly done concepts like this can thrive in a such a culturally deprived city.

Delicious food, unlike any other place in Denver. If you love spicy food, try the wings! Great concept, design, and implementation. The perfect stay-cation. You’ve gotta check this place out! ���� I also loved the ribs, jerk chicken, and sweet plantains. Yum!
Anthony Sands
This place is amazing! Everything from the decor, lighting, menu, and service is all 5 star. Plus, I tried shark for the first time here and it was great. Seriously check this place out.
Christopher Jamie
The food sucked and the drinks sucked. The menu was slim pickings food could’ve had more flavor to it
Michael Joslin
Fun interior with a lot of color. Felt different than any restaurant in the cap hill area. Food had a good amount of spice without overpowering the flavors and the jackfruit was cooked perfectly. However, the roti had bad presentation as it looked like a grey brick on my plate. Excited to see what the restaurant is like in a few weeks/months once everyone gets settled. Really can’t state enough how great the vibe of the restaurant is.
Olivia Coyne
Worth visiting. Amazing food, innovative drink menu, great service
Edith Smith
Awesome spot with great ambience. You have to love the living wall! Cant wait for them to get the fountain working too. We also heard they're talking about building a wave pool on the roof (fingers crossed the rumors are true)!
Joseph Trujillo
Good prices. If you're not picky about food and surroundings, and are open-minded, then you'll enjoy the decor and vibe of the restaurant. I will go again!
Allie Verlaine
Checked this place out as a group of 4 and had a great time! Unique and fun, the drink names cracked us up all night. We will return!
Maxwell Edison
