Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I had high expectations for Oblios after a few friends recommended it, but I was a bit disappointed by the service and food, not to mention the mopping of the floor that was going on when we walked in, leaving that vile bleach smell. We went for brunch and I got a very small plate that was poorly cooked eggs and reheated frozen potatoes. The $2 mimosas saved the experience slightly, as did the very nice albeit extremely slow staff. My friend got a traditional item on the menu and had a better food experience. I'd go back and sit outside, maybe order a pizza and try one more time, but that's far down on my list after this weekend's experience.

Great happy hour prices. Best Pizza downtown! My wife Ann and I had heard we should check it out. Really glad we did! Marinara sauce makes the pizza. Will try the Stromboli next time! Andy P

Love everything I have eaten here! Lobster roll, pizzas, wings, lobster Mac and cheese, salad and Moscow mules. Mmmmm. I try to try something new each time and it never disappoints! It's higher priced but the servers are great and food is great so it's worth it!
(5)Nickerbacher N.
Nothing spectacular, but a nice place to stop by for a pint. Pretty good bar selection and a friendly bartender. Nice outside seating space too. I nice tucked away gem of a bar.
(3)Rich P.
Pleasant looking interior and exterior decor but as others have stated in an odd location though living across the street I welcome it. Staff was cordial and well informed on the bar selection. Had two draws of the Graham Cracker stout which was very smooth with a good flavor. The Seared Tuna on a Caesar salad may not have been the best complimentary to the beer but was excellent. The tuna was seared on the outside and red on the inside just as it should be. The Soy Mustard dip was delicious. Bit pricey but with such a small seating not outrageous.

Good food and good variety of beers and spirits. Only qualm is the portion for the Lobster Rolls. For $18, and being that Lobsters are still going for the lowest per pound they ever have, would be nice if these lobster rolls at least were comparable to those of the East Coast. A little "over the top" would be nice. And the mayo was barely noticeable. With said, the rolls were delicious if not a little over toasted and with a bit much garlic slathered on the roll. I don't know if they make fries (Didn't see any on the menu, but might be a good idea to compliment several of the items on the menu (people get tired of chipa, but never fries. Also, a lobster roll goes well with a cool slaw side. Stopped for a bite and a brew to get out of some crazy traffic, and was not disappointed. May have to check it out on a Friday Night to see how business compares to today's mellow Sunday.

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I came here on a Friday for lunch a little after 1pm. There was no wait and we were told we could sit anywhere we want. I have mixed feelings about the decor. On one hand I liked the look and everything seemed cohesive from the bar to the booths to the lights, etc but then I felt I was sitting in a hotel bar or lounge. The server was ok. She was the only server there and didn't stand out to me. She wasn't enthusiastic or make any recommendations. Maybe other people are ok with that but I like when my servers build some rapport especially since it's a new restaurant. Finally the food - I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and my husband ordered the Italian calzone. My husband thought the calzone was good. Nothing really special but was decent. My lobster mac and cheese was a disappointment. I didn't expect to find the hearty lobster pieces cold on a hot bed of mac and cheese. I liked the amount of lobster in the dish but it was cold. The mac was too well done so it tasted a bit mushy and the cheese tasted like velveeta. The two breadsticks that come with this dish were probably the best part. I know this is a new restaurant and they're trying to figure out the kinks, but I don't think my experience makes me want to come try this restaurant again. Maybe others will have better luck.

Went last night for Happy Hour with a friend. We only had wine, no food. Our waitress was great. We were there for 3 hours and each only had two glasses of wine and the waitress never tried to rush us. The patio was super cute with a wonderful neighborhood feel. I will be going back.
(5)Nancy A.
I can't stop saying amazing things about oblios! First off, the service is phenomenal! The staff cares about their customers so much. I have been coming here since they opened and I always find myself here! The staff is what pulled me in, they remembered me and my name and I have always had a great experience here! If you haven't been here, you should!
(5)Kimberly I.
I love this place. It is nestled right in my neighborhood, its easy to walk to, and its cute! It will be great in the summer when they open the patio bar! It is a great hang out! Food food is great! Try the lobster mac and cheese! YUM! They also have a great selection of beers on tap! The service is awesome as well. They take pride in their food and their company here! I can tell it will be a neighborhood fav!
(5)Wyndi S.
It would have been five stars but service was slow for Sunday brunch. Someone either called in sick or they were under staffed on purpose. The guy was run ragged. The food was amazing and some of it gluten free and vegetarian yumminess. Their potatoes were seasoned perfectly and overall the food was better than watercourse foods. Pizzas were also great. Not the best I've had in Denver, but very good !
(4)Lisa S.
Went here for dinner- pizza and wings were excellent, house wine had a heavy pour, and the meatballs on the meatball sub were quite tasty. Two things I would like improved- one, I would like to see prices next to the beers on the menu, since everything else but the specialty cocktails had prices (and I mean, those could have prices too), two, the meatball sub was tasty and the lobster roll looks good as well, but LAYS as the side? Not the nicest complement to a fancy sammy. But hey, the place just opened, maybe an upscale chip is on it's way. Overall, I have high hopes for this place, with its comfortable seats, metal detailed bar, jazz music and beautiful antique design. They took an already interesting space and classed it up even further. Cheers!

I will not recommended this restaurant to anyone. I went in a Monday night at 6 with my kids and ordered a pizza for them and a salad for my mother and I to share. It took forever to get our appetizer and finally our salad came out and I asked when the pizza would be up, my kids were very hungry. She said the kitchen was backed up, even though we were one of the first ones there, but it should be out in 10 min or so. After about 20 minutes she came back and handed me the bill saying she took the pizza and salad off the bill. I asked when the pizza would be out and she said unfortunately they dropped the pizza. I asked if they were going to make another one and she said no. I was beside myself... My kids were so hungry. I told her to go back into the kitchen and have them fire a new one for my kids. She then went to another table and handed out silverware and then went to the bar and spoke to someone. By this time I was so fed up I walked up to her and said not to fire that pizza, we were leaving. I cannot believe they dropped our pizza and didn't make another one!? Rediculous. I not only won't recommend this place, I will tell my tail and caution those against it.

Gave Oblios a try for SuperBowl Sunday. Ali our bartender gave us world class service. The garlic and hot wings were bomb. I'll be back. Check em out!

Any place with good food, excellent booze, TVs, an old school building, comfy seats, a patio, and it's close enough to crawl home is my kind of establishment. Oblio's delivers all of this in full and is a welcome business in Cap Hill. It's one of the unique charms that make this neighborhood so great. You really can't go wrong when you stop in to this place. Got a hangover? Not after a stop off at Oblio's. They offer Bloody Mary's and Mimosa in addition to brunch/lunch menu items that will cure any ailment. Breakfast burritos, breakfast cocktails, salads, pizzas, flat bread, everything that you need to move on from the night before is all here. Even if you aren't hurting from a night on the town you can enjoy the food and drink and the really laid back feel. Most peeps go in for the Banker's Plate which is a pizza, salad and drink for $9.25. Not too shabby for a little place. Since this building became Oblio's it has gained so much personality. It's so easy going what with the big chairs, open patio, TVs for TV watching, courteous and prompt service. I have never had a bad time here - mostly I do daytime stops but a weekend evening excursion would be a lot of fun too. If you know and like the people in Cap Hill then you'll be in good company. What really stands out to me is that this place is so easy. Easy to get to, simple but delicious menus, effortless service, trouble-free clientele, straightforward Cap Hill goodness. I'm very glad this institution is part of the hood. Food, drink, and fun - need you ask for anything more?
(5)John D.
I dig the neighborhood vibe here. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly, and they have a great selection of drinks to choose from. I've never had the good here, but I'm told it's very tasty. Since their taps are always changing, you're going to find a different beer selection each time. I wish they had at least one good brown or stout on tap during my last visit, but their selection seemed to be geared towards lighter summer beers like lagers and IPAs, none of which I'm a fan of. I ordered a Moscow Mule, which has become my favorite summertime drink. They serve it in a copper mug, which makes for a better Mule, but aside from that I found it a bit overpriced for an underwhelming drink. It had too much lime juice and I could barely taste the ginger beer at all, so it tasted like an $8 vodka with lime. I'm hoping that next time I visit they'll let me introduce them to the best Mule ever (hint: angostura bitters), and then they can make it for you when you visit. Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of Oblio's. I love the decor, the bathroom is very neat (and I mean both clean and pretty cool), and it's a great place to spend time with friends after work. See you there!

Pros: right in cap hill where there aren't many other restaurants in walking distance, beautiful building/decor, you can't beat the price of the bankers plate-a drink, pizza, and salad for $10. Also the Stromboli app or the cookie pizza dessert are amazing Cons:been here probably 10 times and have never had quick or great service. Be prepared to wait for your food and wonder if your server forgot about you. I also attempted to go for lunch last week and they weren't open the hours listed online. No one was there when I went at around noon for lunch. I continue to go back for the great food but really wish they'd improve the quality of service and timeliness of the food.
(2)Katie S.
What a great place! Awesome pizza and a few other menu options. (Lobster mac and cheese is killer good) Service is great and super friendly. This is a real locals place, great covered patio and awesome selection of local on tap beers (Graham cracker porter!) Also you will not find a better deal than the Banker's plate, small pizza, side salad and PBR for 9 bucks!
(5)Ryan M.
I am buying a place across the street from Oblios, and I have now been a few times. I am a HUGE fan of the place. The service is always outstanding, and the happy hour specials are fantastic! They have a $5 stromboli that is to die for, $3 beers (mostly local), $5 cheese bread and $6 wings (for 12). Im looking forward to being across the street! I will frequent Oblios!
(4)Matt R.
The location of this spot is awesome. Away from most of the busier spots in cap hill. The selection of food is basically sandwiches, pizza and salads. All of which are pretty average, nothing to brag about. The service moves at the pace of a snail, unless you grab drinks from the bar. I most recently ordered the Mediterranean salad, it was tasty for sure. The one mistake the place made, was fixed and I got my food comped. Next time will just indulge in drinks, no food.
(3)Mari M.
We may have moved out of Cap Hill with our two dogs but we still return to Oblio's for the dryrub-wings. They are just good and everything a dryrubbed wing should be. Happy Hour wine is still tasty.
(5)Herman S.
Right around the corner from where we were staying. Walked right in and grabbed a table on the patio. Server was right there to get our drink order. Salad was dripping with dressing (maybe ask for dressing on the side) but it was tasty. The real star was the delicious think crust pizza. BBQ sauce, chicken and pineapple. Wonderful! We will return.
(4)Rebeca R.
This place rules! Brunch, late night, lunch, dinner - all appropriate and delightful. I love this location, vibe, and design! In a large space there are options to sit at the bar, slide into a booth, sit at a table or chill on the patio. There are some TVs for sports nuts, great music is always playing and they offer a myriad of excellent drinks and food options. Some out of town family loved this spot so much we went twice in three days! They have a selection of local brews, a full bar, and a sweet brunch mimosa deal. Everything I've had on the menu rocks. The banker's special is a favorite - a small pizza, a salad and a wine or PBR for around $9. The pizza is super good! The wings, breadsticks, salad, desserts are all tasty too! Plus, it is easy to take left overs as we live in the hood. The only issue is sometimes there isn't enough service as they often have a large crowd with few staff members. But, this is usually during the weird hours I end up there. At large meal times, they seem to be fully staffed. You have to see the place for yourself. A Victorian mansion meets modern functionality, in a great neighborhood to boot!
(5)Beezy J.
This place has a classy yet casual feel to it. Basic menu consists of good pizza and amazing wings. I always go with the original hot wings and they are always cooked perfectly. I would love to get their sauce recipe. I'm not a beer drinker, but they have a dish called the bankers plate which consists of a personal pizza, a side salad, and a PBR for under $10. That's a good deal even if you toss the beer. They have $2 mimosas for brunch which are basic, but not bad. I usually sit out on the back patio because even in the coldest weather it's nice out there because it is closed off and heated. Overall it's a great spot to go hang out and have a good lunch with a few drinks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
(5)Amy O.
I love restaurants that are tucked away in residential neighborhoods. Oblio's is a great spot with a really nice aesthetic. Only stopped in for drinks but they were great and the server was super friendly. I'd love to go back!
(5)Britnee A.
I like Oblios because it's literally less than a black away from my house. I feel like the kitchen should be open longer because their menu is amazing. They have lobster salad and gluten free pizza. Overall it's not my first choice, but it's a cute little place to go to.

I have been here several times. The first time they forgot my drink, the next time they forgot our pizza. After 40 minutes, the waitress remembered us and came to inquire what we'd ordered- she had never even put the order in. We kept going back thinking they were just taking awhile to get all of the kinks of running a business worked out. Nope! The most recent time, they forgot us! My fiancé and I spoke with a staff member at the host station (presumably the hostess) and got on the wait list. Several minutes later, we saw the couple behind us speak with the bartender and she put them on a different list. We were confused so we went up to check that we were still on the list. It turns out there were "different" lists. The bartender told us in no uncertain terms that she had no idea about the list at the front hostess stand but that her list was the "real list" and that we could be put at the bottom of it. We said forget it and promptly left and haven't been back. How rude! Our friends went and described a similar experience. My experience is similar to some of the other one and two star reviews. Whereas this restaurant was once packed on Friday and Saturday nights, I now only see a couple of customers at any given time. Not surprising in the least. You can't treat customers like crap, or they won't be customers for long. UPDATE: In addition to being treated rudely while visiting this restaurant, the owner, Thomas G, posted an unhinged rant in response to my (fairly moderate) Yelp review above referring to it as "slander" and "feible critique". Within a few hours, his response was removed by Yelp because it was harassment. I'm also assuming he meant feeble but who knows? It's a bit shocking that the owner would continue disrespecting customers even after the visit. Due to my treatment after the fact, I definitely won't be back to this establishment and will ensure that I warn my friends as well.
(1)H R.
I have to say that the management has really redeemed itself here for now. The next time we tried Oblio's, we went purely for convenience and were ready for the worst. The service was still shamefully slow, but we were taking it lightly and not letting it get to us. At the end of the meal the manager came up and asked how it was. We told her pretty much the same thing we've reviewed, and she sat down with us, heard us out, and told us all of the great things they were doing to improve the place. It meant a lot that the manager seemed to be really interested in our constructive criticism, and that she took the time to make us feel heard and taken care of. We will be sure to continue to visit and see how the service improves.
(4)Jessie A.
Server really knew her wine, recommended an amazing sauvignon blanc. Pizza was great. I could tell she had a big section so service was a little slow, but still really good. Definitely will go back. Beautiful restaurant, lovely patio.
(4)Catie G.
My boyfriend and I had been here once before and were very happy with it. However, yesterday my mom and I choose this place for happy hour, got there right before 5:00 and there was one bartender serving the entire place. We wait to be seated for 10 minutes and once we were we waited another 10 minutes to get drinks. We were never helped. No "we'll be right with you" or anything, so we left. Very disappointing service, especially for a Friday afternoon. Not so sure I want to go back anytime soon.
(1)Isaac B.
3rd visit this time... 1st was not great the 2nd was ok so I thought I would try again... The third visit on the evening of May 15th was the worst. First, it took about 25 minutes to get a drink. My food (lobster mac and cheese) came around an hour after I ordered it. I have to say.. the menu says fresh flown in lobster. WOW... this was as frozen and tastless as I have seen before. The bartender did comp the ticket stating that they were actually just out of lobster. My question is why serve it at all? The bartender and the server were arguing back and forth the entire time I was there, which makes for a very uncomfortable guest atmosphere. While sitting at the bar aside from the arguing amongst the staff I watched a server stick his fingers into a drink and fish a garnish out of it, re-garnish it and then serve the drink. I wish you luck Oblios, it makes me sad to be a neighborhood person that loves local business. However your business is not for me.
(1)Justin G.
The pizza is pretty darn amazing. My mom was in town visiting and said it might be the best she's ever had.
(5)Allison O.
Great addition to the neighborhood! I have always loved their Park Hill location and I am very happy they have another location patronize. The patio looks like it will be great when the weather is good. Pizza is very good and great selection of beers, drinks, wine etc. Looking forward to spending some quality time at this location.
(4)Ray K.
Let me start by saying that we need this place. We are stoked its here and want it to succeed. Here are some observations from cap hill vets.. There is not really a decent ' nicer ' bar in the area besides Prohibition. The interior is nice and inviting, as are the staff. However , after having the breakfast pizza one day and a salad and breadsticks another night I have to be honest... This place needs to be more than a nicer pizza joint . Sliceworks kills it already and tony ps is close too. The atmosphere here makes me expect nicer food like calamari, salmon , high end burgers etc . Also crack some eggs and hashbrowns and bust out the benedicts for brunch ' breakfast pizza' just seems lazy kinda.... . The drinks are very good! Fix the menu and make it match the expectation set by the interior and neighborhood and it'll be great! Thanks ! We look forward to more!
(4)Cade M.
Had multiple items and they all were great. The Stromboli was spot on! Lobster roll was unbelievable-authentic Maine style. Good local beers and a fun atmosphere while enjoying the Broncos game. Strongly suggest to friends and families.
(5)Scott N.
This is a fantastic little tavern in the heart of the Hill. Very laid back atmosphere, great bar, good selection of beers on tap, and a great menu. The owners really did a great job at remodeling this spot from it's past bistro life. Summer time will be great here. 2 garage doors located behind the bar will be open to allow you to belly up from the patio. Great place to watch a game as well. 2 TV's for patio viewing too. Staff was friendly and immediately had recommendations. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Charlotte S.
This is a little gem in the CapHill neighborhood. We were really blown away by how nice it was inside, think plush chairs and lighting, and how perfect the little patio is. The bar opens to both the inside and outside for those nice summer days, and it's a great place to grab a drink. Full disclosure- it is a pizza place. We didn't order but they looked pretty damn good. I took off one star because the cannoli I ordered left something to be desired. The shell was overdone, and they were lazy on the filling. Also the generic chocolate syrup they used to make it look pretty ended up drowning the cannoli.
(4)Allyson M.
My roommate and I live in the Cap Hill area and this place is a great addition to the neighborhood! The decor on the inside has modern touches without losing the character of the building itself. We split the Margherita pizza and it did not disappoint! They have an awesome drink selection and good happy hours as well. The owners Shea and Tommy were so nice and welcomed us warmly. I highly recommend this place to anyone who just wants a chill night out with friends or for a large party because the back room is large enough to accommodate a big group. I had my birthday party here in their large back room and the service was great! Daniel and Ally were so accommodating and everyone at the party kept commenting on how awesome they were! The event coordinator worked with me on all the details from how many people would be coming to the music we wanted played. It was great to receive this kind of attention! I also just recently brought my family in for Easter brunch and it was still a great dining experience! Nancy was nice and attentive. We each ordered items off the brunch menu and were all pleased with what we ordered. The Breakfast Burrito was delicious! This is officially my new neighborhood bar and I am loving it every time I visit!
(5)Wes B.
Capitol hills best kept secret...until now. I always have a great time here. Amazing staff i cant believe this place is so close. All the staff is great but in particular Allie, Nancy and Molly. Please dont come here.
(5)Christine Y.
This place is average. Nothing really special and the drinks are ok. Their beer selection is a little bit better but not by much. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but the food is mediocre. The atmosphere of the place is nothing to rave about as well. Sort of dark and hard to see at night. They do have outdoor seating which is nice.
(3)L B.
Went here a little whole ago with my boyfriend. We were craving pizza (which happens often) and walked to this place since it's righty around the corner from my house. We say at the bar and it was all open air since it was beautiful out! Cool little place transformed into a restaurant. They had trivia that night which wasn't too bad. The pizza wasn't all that great. Super doughy and didn't seem fully cooked. Definitely not the type I liked. And they got the toppings wrong. Probably won't return unless we can't think of anywhere else to go. Overall a so-so place. There's plenty of other decent spots around.
(3)Justin W.
Great happy hour til 6. Get some half price wings and a $3 draft. I didn't know whether to remain a gentleman and stay quiet or scream for my team on TV - the atmosphere made me feel like a sports fan in the kings palace. #justsayin
(4)Michael R.
Got some delivery. I must say the first impression based on packaging was cheap quality. The food seemed to follow suit. Nothing memorable or worth ordering again. This is very basic cheap ingredient good that you can get in any small town in America.
(2)Timothy M.
Friendly staff, great food, great drinks! Caribbean jerk flavored wings are spectacular. Early Happy Hour and another one later in the evening so you can stop off on the way home or stop in after a post work nap ;) Nice little Bloody Mary bar during the weekend brunch.
(4)Chris D.
I found my lobster roll place in Denver! With big chunks of lobster and a good sized sandwich at a good price, this is the place to go. I'm sure their other food is great, but I think this is my go to. My only complaint is that the roll comes with what appear to be lays potato chips.
(5)Chris M.
This is my neighborhood bar. The draft selection is good, and the food never fails to satisfy. The staff is friendly and helpful with selections if you're not sure what you want. The ambiance is relaxed on the patio or in the back room, and they've got TVs at the bar to watch sports. I just love coming here.
(5)Andrea M.
This was a great place to hangout with friends and Lover's from another Mother(s). Delicious food with a decent drink selection. Awesome service-- if you happen upon a lovely waitress that says, "Trust me!" Do it. You won't be sorry. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars are the TVs on every wall.
(4)Brittany B.
I really wanted to like this place, great location, awesome building, nice staff but the food was less than mediocre and the beer was just barely chilled. If they can fix their beer lines and menu this could be a great place!
(2)Alysia C.
Eh. The outside patio is great. Like, really great. Awesome location. The beer selection is pretty decent. Except the last time I was there, trying to figure out which beers they had on tap was a lot more difficult than it should have been. Their food was decent. I'm just not really impressed by pizza. I'd give this place a solid B. I'd definitely return for the patio and local beer offerings.
(3)Kathleen A.
I just moved in across the street. (Literally, across the street. This is my view from my living room). On my first night at the new place, me and my new roommate checked this place out for dinner and a couple drinks. This place has only been open for a couple days, and like every new place, definitely has a couple kinks to work out but nothing that won't be worked out in the next few weeks. The pizza is FANTASTIC! This is coming from someone who is just a super snob about pizza in general. I had a pizza with artichoke hearts, garlic, and sausage (that I custom created). The sauce is superb, the crust is even very delicious and the ingredients were fresh. They offer a decent beer selection on tap offering a few local brews as well. This could be deadly..or awesome..living so close. keep up the good work and I look forward to many visits from here on out!
(4)Ituku A.
I grew up in a big Italian family in southern Connecticut, so I am -very- snobby when it comes to pizza (and bagels, but that's a different story). Is this place as good as what you'd find in New Haven? No. Is it one of the best places to get pizza in Denver? Yes and yes again. The crust is good, there's a good selection of toppings, and the mutz is nice and soft. Bonus points for having delicious appetizers, a good happy hour menu (try the Bankers plate- a small pizza, salad, and beer for under ten bucks), friendly servers, and a good bar. Not to mention a historic building and outdoor patio. The only downside I can think of is parking; it is Cap Hill, after all. But after 7 PM you can park right out front.
(5)Dave T.
I only came for drinks, hence the missing star. The food menu looked exciting and creative. The atmosphere of this place is great. Standalone in a part of Cap Hill would be a good biking destination in the summer. Inside/outside bar, antiquated on the inside. Only qualm so far is the price. We werent there for happy hour....A little unreasonable drink and food prices. Hopefully they should not be revelling in the novelty of the location. DT.
(4)Ashley K.
I love this tavern. The staff is incredibly friendly and the location + menu just can't be beat. You'll find a lot of New England-inspired fare on the menu, including the most amazing lobster roll sandwich you will ever have in your life. The back room is perfect for large/private parties and a new open air patio is perfect for summertime drinks. The décor is contemporary and upscale, and the 1901 Victorian building itself is a gem. Couldn't recommend this place more!
(5)Julio T.
Fleur burned out pretty badly in this location so I was unsure if Oblio's would be able to compete for Cap Hill hipster dollars in this kind of odd location. But after eating here once, I think they'll probably do just fine. The biggest improvement by far is very smart and extensive upgrades to the space. Eating at Fleur was kind of like eating in your rich aunt's parlor, but Oblio's looks like a great hipster date spot. I love the beaten tin bar and the grey and brown color scheme that accompanies it. The bar itself is pretty cool as it faces the patio, which can open up with a garage door. I can see that being very popular in the summer. Oblio's also opened up a previously unused back area as a dining room so it won't be nearly as crammed as Fleur (and they can make more money on those tables too!). When I went it was pretty crowded already despite not even having a web site and being open for less than a week. The menu looks good though it is a bit more limited than I was expecting. It's also probably a tad more expensive than it needs to be. I ordered a 11" pizza with two toppings and it was $16. Should probably be more around the $13 range in my opinion. The pizza was good with a savory pizza sauce and pretty quality ingredients. I am not he biggest fan of their pizza dough, which has a good texture but almost seems rolled like a cinnamon roll or something as parts of the crust would literally unravel and leave bits of toppings behind with nothing to contain them. As I am quickly approaching the time when I am leaving Capitol Hill for awhile, I am not sure how many more times I'll be able to return to Oblio's. But I'll definitely come back if I am in the area again.

We really wanted to like this place, but the mediocre food & terrible service coupled with an hour wait for food on a day with very few patrons, means we will likely not be back. The inside is gorgeous, and it's clear this is a historic building with a lot of potential. New management is desperately needed. Check out one of the awesome other places in Cap Hill, and save your money by going elsewhere.

My girlfriend and I both awoke this morning to hangovers and an empty fridge - going out for brunch sounded much more attractive than heading to the grocery store, so we walked over to Oblio's, about a block from where we live. This is a cool old building, that does well representing some of the unique architecture of Cap Hill. The interior has some odd design choices, but overall it was a comfortable space. No qualms here. The brunch menu is incredibly short. Omelet, pancakes, an egg scramble, and a breakfast burrito. We both ordered bloody marys, and both got scrambles after the waitress warned us away from the omelets (quote: "they're made in the pizza oven. They're not good."). They advertise a bloody mary bar, but that was nowhere to be seen. Instead, we simply ordered drinks from the bar. It appears that they use a bloody mary mix straight from the bottle, and it's just plain bad. Too sweet, and full of bits of whatever it's seasoned with. I really wanted to pour my drink through a sieve, though that still wouldn't have improved the flavor. Garnish for the drinks was 1/2 frozen celery (though somehow dried out at the same time), and a sad toothpick with the tiniest lime slice you've ever seen, and a couple of the cheapest Sysco green olives they could find. The egg scrambles are described on the menu as eggs, with your choice of 2 toppings, cheddar cheese, all served over red potato homefries. I ordered mine with black olives and tomatoes, and GF got hers with bacon, onions, and topped with pork green chili. Starting with hers, the "pork" green chili was clearly from a can, and didn't seem to have any actual pork in it. The "homefries" were nothing more than shoestring french fries, chopped up, deep fried, with nothing added to them, and no seasoning at all. My scramble was ordered with black olives (cheap Sysco canned olives again), and tomatoes (which were about 1/2 ripe). The eggs were horribly over cooked and brown, and were also completely unseasoned. My final conclusion: even though I like supporting local business, and this place is close enough to hit with a thrown rock, I can't see any reason to go back. There are too many other restaurants in or near Cap Hill where I can get a good bloody mary, a better selection of brunch dishes, or really good pizza. On the upside, I'll be looking forward to checking out whatever restaurant moves into this space once Oblio's fails.

Decent food and BETTER atmosphere. Situated in an old Victorian house in Cap Hill, this restaurant is great for day drinking/eating. The garage style doors open up behind the bar to a nice sized outdoor patio that gets busy during happy hour and on nice days. The Stromboli is greasy, but really good and the pizza is decent. They host Trivia during the week. One downside is they used to deliver, but have stopped which means I don't order nearly as much....really ever. If they would hire a delivery driver, I would be ordering much more. Otherwise, I pop in on nice days when I am looking for pizza, a beer, and decent atmosphere.
(3)Deginald W.
Friendly staff! Drinks were priced well and the food was good enjoyed how clean it was and have a good selection of drinks and menu items that will please a lot of people
(4)Christine Y.
This place is average. Nothing really special and the drinks are ok. Their beer selection is a little bit better but not by much. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but the food is mediocre. The atmosphere of the place is nothing to rave about as well. Sort of dark and hard to see at night. They do have outdoor seating which is nice.
(3)L B.
Went here a little whole ago with my boyfriend. We were craving pizza (which happens often) and walked to this place since it's righty around the corner from my house. We say at the bar and it was all open air since it was beautiful out! Cool little place transformed into a restaurant. They had trivia that night which wasn't too bad. The pizza wasn't all that great. Super doughy and didn't seem fully cooked. Definitely not the type I liked. And they got the toppings wrong. Probably won't return unless we can't think of anywhere else to go. Overall a so-so place. There's plenty of other decent spots around.
(3)Justin W.
Great happy hour til 6. Get some half price wings and a $3 draft. I didn't know whether to remain a gentleman and stay quiet or scream for my team on TV - the atmosphere made me feel like a sports fan in the kings palace. #justsayin
(4)Michael R.
Got some delivery. I must say the first impression based on packaging was cheap quality. The food seemed to follow suit. Nothing memorable or worth ordering again. This is very basic cheap ingredient good that you can get in any small town in America.
(2)Timothy M.
Friendly staff, great food, great drinks! Caribbean jerk flavored wings are spectacular. Early Happy Hour and another one later in the evening so you can stop off on the way home or stop in after a post work nap ;) Nice little Bloody Mary bar during the weekend brunch.
(4)Chris D.
I found my lobster roll place in Denver! With big chunks of lobster and a good sized sandwich at a good price, this is the place to go. I'm sure their other food is great, but I think this is my go to. My only complaint is that the roll comes with what appear to be lays potato chips.
(5)Chris M.
This is my neighborhood bar. The draft selection is good, and the food never fails to satisfy. The staff is friendly and helpful with selections if you're not sure what you want. The ambiance is relaxed on the patio or in the back room, and they've got TVs at the bar to watch sports. I just love coming here.
(5)Andrea M.
This was a great place to hangout with friends and Lover's from another Mother(s). Delicious food with a decent drink selection. Awesome service-- if you happen upon a lovely waitress that says, "Trust me!" Do it. You won't be sorry. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars are the TVs on every wall.
(4)Talon B.
This is a great place for hh or a lazy sat/sun afternoon snack and drink; I'm sure it's great at other times but that's when I've been there. Nice patio and inside ambiance, there's some great plaster work inside for those that appreciate it. The food is quite good and is consistent. Try the rotisserie wings extra crispy; they are ridiculous! The pizzas are quite tasty as well. They have a suite of TV's as well, viewable from the main room and patio for the sports fan. In general great neighborhood spot to meet friends or a group. My only complaint, which is improving every time I visit, is quality of service across the board (servers and bartenders), except for the chef/cook that always seems to deliver my food. He's a gent and just seems to loves his food and the people that eat it! It's definitely worth a visit, the service has improved and it shouldn't disappoint! T
(4)G R.
Yes Owner, I am sure I am talking about your restaurant. The other establishments I mention are actually quite close to you, not sure why you would say otherwise. Saw your (since deleted) rant at another yelper accusing him/her of being a competitor out to smear your restaurant. I know the yelper personally and happen to have been in your establishment for one of the incidents he/she reviewed. The review was accurate. Glad I did not take you up on the offer for a beer. Way to keep it classy Oblios.
(1)Anita S.
First time there the bartender was talkative and fun. Dinner with three friends. We all ordered the special which included a pizza and salad AND A GLASS OF WINE!! Delicious food and wonderfully beautiful space. I saw they had brunch on weekends and can't wait to try it!!!
(4)Rudy L.
Good food and good variety of beers and spirits. Only qualm is the portion for the Lobster Rolls. For $18, and being that Lobsters are still going for the lowest per pound they ever have, would be nice if these lobster rolls at least were comparable to those of the East Coast. A little "over the top" would be nice. And the mayo was barely noticeable. With said, the rolls were delicious if not a little over toasted and with a bit much garlic slathered on the roll. I don't know if they make fries (Didn't see any on the menu, but might be a good idea to compliment several of the items on the menu (people get tired of chipa, but never fries. Also, a lobster roll goes well with a cool slaw side. Stopped for a bite and a brew to get out of some crazy traffic, and was not disappointed. May have to check it out on a Friday Night to see how business compares to today's mellow Sunday.
(4)Allison N.
Love the neighborhood atmosphere. The service was great and I love the decor of the restaurant. We sat on the patio on a gorgeous night. The pizza was good but nothing to brag about. I'll probably be back but I have other favorite pizza places.
(4)Rebeca R.
This place rules! Brunch, late night, lunch, dinner - all appropriate and delightful. I love this location, vibe, and design! In a large space there are options to sit at the bar, slide into a booth, sit at a table or chill on the patio. There are some TVs for sports nuts, great music is always playing and they offer a myriad of excellent drinks and food options. Some out of town family loved this spot so much we went twice in three days! They have a selection of local brews, a full bar, and a sweet brunch mimosa deal. Everything I've had on the menu rocks. The banker's special is a favorite - a small pizza, a salad and a wine or PBR for around $9. The pizza is super good! The wings, breadsticks, salad, desserts are all tasty too! Plus, it is easy to take left overs as we live in the hood. The only issue is sometimes there isn't enough service as they often have a large crowd with few staff members. But, this is usually during the weird hours I end up there. At large meal times, they seem to be fully staffed. You have to see the place for yourself. A Victorian mansion meets modern functionality, in a great neighborhood to boot!
(5)Allyson M.
My roommate and I live in the Cap Hill area and this place is a great addition to the neighborhood! The decor on the inside has modern touches without losing the character of the building itself. We split the Margherita pizza and it did not disappoint! They have an awesome drink selection and good happy hours as well. The owners Shea and Tommy were so nice and welcomed us warmly. I highly recommend this place to anyone who just wants a chill night out with friends or for a large party because the back room is large enough to accommodate a big group. I had my birthday party here in their large back room and the service was great! Daniel and Ally were so accommodating and everyone at the party kept commenting on how awesome they were! The event coordinator worked with me on all the details from how many people would be coming to the music we wanted played. It was great to receive this kind of attention! I also just recently brought my family in for Easter brunch and it was still a great dining experience! Nancy was nice and attentive. We each ordered items off the brunch menu and were all pleased with what we ordered. The Breakfast Burrito was delicious! This is officially my new neighborhood bar and I am loving it every time I visit!
(5)Wes B.
Capitol hills best kept secret...until now. I always have a great time here. Amazing staff i cant believe this place is so close. All the staff is great but in particular Allie, Nancy and Molly. Please dont come here.
(5)Charlotte S.
This is a little gem in the CapHill neighborhood. We were really blown away by how nice it was inside, think plush chairs and lighting, and how perfect the little patio is. The bar opens to both the inside and outside for those nice summer days, and it's a great place to grab a drink. Full disclosure- it is a pizza place. We didn't order but they looked pretty damn good. I took off one star because the cannoli I ordered left something to be desired. The shell was overdone, and they were lazy on the filling. Also the generic chocolate syrup they used to make it look pretty ended up drowning the cannoli.
(4)Lauren L.
I stayed at an Air b&b across the street. Oblios was an extension of our house. We came here everyday for our brunch and lunch grub and drinks! The food and drinks were great. Erica and Megan were so friendly and accommodating! Hanging out here really made the trip a blast. I will be back! We had the to amazing pancakes, capital caesar sandwich, Mac & cheese, wings, calzones, etc... But nothing could beat the $2 mimosas
(5)Lesley H.
Great little neighborhood bar! Good beer selection AND lobster flown in daily! Our server, Erica, was fantastic! Mahalo from Hawaii visitors!
(5)Helen O.
It's my 3rd time here- I've had the lobster mac n cheese pizza, which has blown my mind twice and their cookie pizza is awesome too! The breakfast burrito wasn't bad but nothing to brag about..... The service on the other hand wasn't impressive :( this last time we came in the service honestly sucked, which is a real let down because this lobster pizza is amazing. Oh and their decor is beautiful vintage
(3)Richard R.
Any place with good food, excellent booze, TVs, an old school building, comfy seats, a patio, and it's close enough to crawl home is my kind of establishment. Oblio's delivers all of this in full and is a welcome business in Cap Hill. It's one of the unique charms that make this neighborhood so great. You really can't go wrong when you stop in to this place. Got a hangover? Not after a stop off at Oblio's. They offer Bloody Mary's and Mimosa in addition to brunch/lunch menu items that will cure any ailment. Breakfast burritos, breakfast cocktails, salads, pizzas, flat bread, everything that you need to move on from the night before is all here. Even if you aren't hurting from a night on the town you can enjoy the food and drink and the really laid back feel. Most peeps go in for the Banker's Plate which is a pizza, salad and drink for $9.25. Not too shabby for a little place. Since this building became Oblio's it has gained so much personality. It's so easy going what with the big chairs, open patio, TVs for TV watching, courteous and prompt service. I have never had a bad time here - mostly I do daytime stops but a weekend evening excursion would be a lot of fun too. If you know and like the people in Cap Hill then you'll be in good company. What really stands out to me is that this place is so easy. Easy to get to, simple but delicious menus, effortless service, trouble-free clientele, straightforward Cap Hill goodness. I'm very glad this institution is part of the hood. Food, drink, and fun - need you ask for anything more?
(5)Mari M.
We may have moved out of Cap Hill with our two dogs but we still return to Oblio's for the dryrub-wings. They are just good and everything a dryrubbed wing should be. Happy Hour wine is still tasty.
(5)Herman S.
Right around the corner from where we were staying. Walked right in and grabbed a table on the patio. Server was right there to get our drink order. Salad was dripping with dressing (maybe ask for dressing on the side) but it was tasty. The real star was the delicious think crust pizza. BBQ sauce, chicken and pineapple. Wonderful! We will return.
(4)John D.
I dig the neighborhood vibe here. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly, and they have a great selection of drinks to choose from. I've never had the good here, but I'm told it's very tasty. Since their taps are always changing, you're going to find a different beer selection each time. I wish they had at least one good brown or stout on tap during my last visit, but their selection seemed to be geared towards lighter summer beers like lagers and IPAs, none of which I'm a fan of. I ordered a Moscow Mule, which has become my favorite summertime drink. They serve it in a copper mug, which makes for a better Mule, but aside from that I found it a bit overpriced for an underwhelming drink. It had too much lime juice and I could barely taste the ginger beer at all, so it tasted like an $8 vodka with lime. I'm hoping that next time I visit they'll let me introduce them to the best Mule ever (hint: angostura bitters), and then they can make it for you when you visit. Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of Oblio's. I love the decor, the bathroom is very neat (and I mean both clean and pretty cool), and it's a great place to spend time with friends after work. See you there!
(4)Carly B.
Pros: right in cap hill where there aren't many other restaurants in walking distance, beautiful building/decor, you can't beat the price of the bankers plate-a drink, pizza, and salad for $10. Also the Stromboli app or the cookie pizza dessert are amazing Cons:been here probably 10 times and have never had quick or great service. Be prepared to wait for your food and wonder if your server forgot about you. I also attempted to go for lunch last week and they weren't open the hours listed online. No one was there when I went at around noon for lunch. I continue to go back for the great food but really wish they'd improve the quality of service and timeliness of the food.
(2)Katie S.
What a great place! Awesome pizza and a few other menu options. (Lobster mac and cheese is killer good) Service is great and super friendly. This is a real locals place, great covered patio and awesome selection of local on tap beers (Graham cracker porter!) Also you will not find a better deal than the Banker's plate, small pizza, side salad and PBR for 9 bucks!
(5)Ryan M.
I am buying a place across the street from Oblios, and I have now been a few times. I am a HUGE fan of the place. The service is always outstanding, and the happy hour specials are fantastic! They have a $5 stromboli that is to die for, $3 beers (mostly local), $5 cheese bread and $6 wings (for 12). Im looking forward to being across the street! I will frequent Oblios!
(4)Matt R.
The location of this spot is awesome. Away from most of the busier spots in cap hill. The selection of food is basically sandwiches, pizza and salads. All of which are pretty average, nothing to brag about. The service moves at the pace of a snail, unless you grab drinks from the bar. I most recently ordered the Mediterranean salad, it was tasty for sure. The one mistake the place made, was fixed and I got my food comped. Next time will just indulge in drinks, no food.
(3)Brittany B.
I really wanted to like this place, great location, awesome building, nice staff but the food was less than mediocre and the beer was just barely chilled. If they can fix their beer lines and menu this could be a great place!
(2)Alysia C.
Eh. The outside patio is great. Like, really great. Awesome location. The beer selection is pretty decent. Except the last time I was there, trying to figure out which beers they had on tap was a lot more difficult than it should have been. Their food was decent. I'm just not really impressed by pizza. I'd give this place a solid B. I'd definitely return for the patio and local beer offerings.
(3)Kathleen A.
I just moved in across the street. (Literally, across the street. This is my view from my living room). On my first night at the new place, me and my new roommate checked this place out for dinner and a couple drinks. This place has only been open for a couple days, and like every new place, definitely has a couple kinks to work out but nothing that won't be worked out in the next few weeks. The pizza is FANTASTIC! This is coming from someone who is just a super snob about pizza in general. I had a pizza with artichoke hearts, garlic, and sausage (that I custom created). The sauce is superb, the crust is even very delicious and the ingredients were fresh. They offer a decent beer selection on tap offering a few local brews as well. This could be deadly..or awesome..living so close. keep up the good work and I look forward to many visits from here on out!
(4)Ituku A.
I grew up in a big Italian family in southern Connecticut, so I am -very- snobby when it comes to pizza (and bagels, but that's a different story). Is this place as good as what you'd find in New Haven? No. Is it one of the best places to get pizza in Denver? Yes and yes again. The crust is good, there's a good selection of toppings, and the mutz is nice and soft. Bonus points for having delicious appetizers, a good happy hour menu (try the Bankers plate- a small pizza, salad, and beer for under ten bucks), friendly servers, and a good bar. Not to mention a historic building and outdoor patio. The only downside I can think of is parking; it is Cap Hill, after all. But after 7 PM you can park right out front.
(5)Dave T.
I only came for drinks, hence the missing star. The food menu looked exciting and creative. The atmosphere of this place is great. Standalone in a part of Cap Hill would be a good biking destination in the summer. Inside/outside bar, antiquated on the inside. Only qualm so far is the price. We werent there for happy hour....A little unreasonable drink and food prices. Hopefully they should not be revelling in the novelty of the location. DT.
(4)Ashley K.
I love this tavern. The staff is incredibly friendly and the location + menu just can't be beat. You'll find a lot of New England-inspired fare on the menu, including the most amazing lobster roll sandwich you will ever have in your life. The back room is perfect for large/private parties and a new open air patio is perfect for summertime drinks. The décor is contemporary and upscale, and the 1901 Victorian building itself is a gem. Couldn't recommend this place more!
(5)Julio T.
Fleur burned out pretty badly in this location so I was unsure if Oblio's would be able to compete for Cap Hill hipster dollars in this kind of odd location. But after eating here once, I think they'll probably do just fine. The biggest improvement by far is very smart and extensive upgrades to the space. Eating at Fleur was kind of like eating in your rich aunt's parlor, but Oblio's looks like a great hipster date spot. I love the beaten tin bar and the grey and brown color scheme that accompanies it. The bar itself is pretty cool as it faces the patio, which can open up with a garage door. I can see that being very popular in the summer. Oblio's also opened up a previously unused back area as a dining room so it won't be nearly as crammed as Fleur (and they can make more money on those tables too!).

As I am quickly approaching the time when I am leaving Capitol Hill for awhile, I am not sure how many more times I'll be able to return to Oblio's. But I'll definitely come back if I am in the area again.
(4)Thaddius B.
My new favorite hangout on the Hill. After seeing this location fail a few times glad to see it is doing well. I have only had a few things on the menu and they were good. Although I do wish the menu had a little more diversity. The salads are good and so are the pizzas, Stromboli and wings. That's all I have had. But what I like about it is the atmosphere. The way they made it an open air bar is great. The staff is awesome and after only coming in a few times some of them knew me by name which is always nice. I see myself spending a lot of time here the rest of the summer sipping on cocktails.
(4)Marc A.
Good Bloodies, great pizza, fantastic wings... why havent I found you earlier, Oblios?! This is the neighborhood bar I wish was in Wash Park. I love the interior decor, and the servers and bartenders are super nice. I think this is my go-to place for the rest of the summer.
(4)Jenny S.
This is my first time in here and the vibe is cool! Great space and good people watching. The service, however, was horrible. A friend and I came and sat at the bar - we were the only ones at the bar - and not greeted at all. Only one other table in the restaurant. The bar top was dirty to start. We had to ask for drinks, a menu, and a rag to clean the bar. Then we had to ask to order food. When we did, they messed up our order - both size of pizza and toppings. The chef delivered the pizza and apologized for the size mistake. When we realized the topping mistake and told the bartender, she rolled her eyes and stormed back to the kitchen. It was corrected and the pizza was really good (hence the 2 stars). Our drinks were empty for 10 minutes (no joke - we timed it) before they were refilled. While we sat, we observed a few other things. The bartender started pouring a Stella, noticed a lipstick stain on the glass, got a new glass, poured the half beer into the new glass, and kept filling from the tap. It was served to the table behind us. A similar situation happened with a glass of wine and a chipped glass. When I was bartending, this was NEVER ok. You got a new glass and a new pour. We also saw them handling the glasses by the top and putting dirty hands where people would drink. In general, the bar service was slow and unsure. As we sat, others came and it was no different. They had to ASK for drinks or menus. The patio got busy and service seemed equally horrible out there. The most annoying part is that there were other waitstaff just sitting around. OMG! As I sit here and type this, we just saw a new bartender start to fill a beer from the tap, notice a lipstick stain on the glass, wipe off the glass, continue pouring beer in the SAME glass, and serve it to a customer. Gross. The food saved this place. I'll probably give it another chance - but not order a drink :)
(2)Richard F.
A fun place! I've only been once on a Sunday afternoon so far. We stumbled on this after getting a disinterested "it'll be an HOUR" from a nearby cool-kids brunch place (yawn, ok: keep your damn beets and eggs...) For food, we ordered up an Italian sandwich and some wings, both delicious. There is a limited brunch menu but they plan to expand on it. The previous place did a decent job on the building - Oblios took that a step further and made it fabulous. I can't wait to make it back to try the pizza!
(5)Steffani K.
Love this local gem. Go for the bankers plate; 2 topping personal pizza, a salad, and a PBR or house wine for ten bucks. Great staff and Sunday Ticket.
(5)Kimberly S.
We have eaten at the first Oblio's in Northern Denver, and loved it! Their pizza is very good! Now, let me start this review of the Oblios Cap Hill Tavern, by stating the following ratings for it: pizza = 4 stars interior/overall experience = 2 stars Oblios Cap Hill Tavern was once Fleur Bistro, once a flower shop, once a bridal shop. All are still invisible inside. The front room is the "bar area." The ornate ceiling is still there, from one of the previous establishments. This room is small and bright. There is a tv, and a nice atmosphere. The back room is definitely "the back room,' and not well thought out. We wondered if we were still in the same restaurant. There are purple "tiles" or what look like tiles, along the wall that is the exterior of the kitchen, which run along the length of this back room. There are two large L-shaped sectionals, and I mean LARGE, on each end of the room. Each of these can seat (but not comfortably) 8-10 people, so LARGE sectionals. Sitting on one of these L-shaped sectionals, either forces you to sit forward, at the end of the cushion, so you can reach the table. Or, if you sit way back, to try to be comfortable, you won't be able to reach the table. Did I mention the sectionals are LARGE! The tables in this back room, are large rectangular tables, which look they have were after thoughts. There are also smaller square tables, which could seat four people, but the type of chairs in this room are "lounge" type chairs, which cut the seating down to these smaller square tables to two. Maybe that is what they were going for, I don't know. There are three large screen tvs in this room. There is also a large (no LARGE) chandelier in the center of the room, which seems out of place. I'm assuming this is from when the place was a bridal shop. Can you see it now... the bride-to-be steps out of the dressing room, and steps onto the round circular platform that is in the center of the room, under the chandelier. She can see herself in the row of mirrors that were along the wall, between the two large L-shaped sectionals, where her family and friends were anxiously waiting to see her in her wedding gown. Oh, I digress. This is now Oblios Cap Hill Tavern. Are you getting the picture? The back room is dark, and nothing seems to fit, the back room seems like an after thought. Several other people walked in while we were there, and had odd expressions on their faces, as if they too questioned if this was the same restaurant. The food is good, and we still love the pizza! We have previously eaten at the first Oblios Pizza in Northern Denver, so we knew what to expect, at least the food anyways. Service - ok. Parking - street parking, and in this part of town, there are plenty of apartments, so plan on walking. Will we be back? Maybe in a year, when they finish the interior, and actually turn the place into a great restaurant, like the original Oblios. We'll see if they are still around.
(2)Jamie W.
Love everything I have eaten here! Lobster roll, pizzas, wings, lobster Mac and cheese, salad and Moscow mules. Mmmmm. I try to try something new each time and it never disappoints! It's higher priced but the servers are great and food is great so it's worth it!
(5)Nickerbacher N.
Nothing spectacular, but a nice place to stop by for a pint. Pretty good bar selection and a friendly bartender. Nice outside seating space too. I nice tucked away gem of a bar.

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I came here on a Friday for lunch a little after 1pm. There was no wait and we were told we could sit anywhere we want. I have mixed feelings about the decor. On one hand I liked the look and everything seemed cohesive from the bar to the booths to the lights, etc but then I felt I was sitting in a hotel bar or lounge. The server was ok. She was the only server there and didn't stand out to me. She wasn't enthusiastic or make any recommendations. Maybe other people are ok with that but I like when my servers build some rapport especially since it's a new restaurant. Finally the food - I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and my husband ordered the Italian calzone. My husband thought the calzone was good. Nothing really special but was decent. My lobster mac and cheese was a disappointment. I didn't expect to find the hearty lobster pieces cold on a hot bed of mac and cheese. I liked the amount of lobster in the dish but it was cold. The mac was too well done so it tasted a bit mushy and the cheese tasted like velveeta. The two breadsticks that come with this dish were probably the best part. I know this is a new restaurant and they're trying to figure out the kinks, but I don't think my experience makes me want to come try this restaurant again. Maybe others will have better luck.

Went last night for Happy Hour with a friend. We only had wine, no food. Our waitress was great. We were there for 3 hours and each only had two glasses of wine and the waitress never tried to rush us. The patio was super cute with a wonderful neighborhood feel. I will be going back.

I can't stop saying amazing things about oblios! First off, the service is phenomenal! The staff cares about their customers so much. I have been coming here since they opened and I always find myself here! The staff is what pulled me in, they remembered me and my name and I have always had a great experience here! If you haven't been here, you should!

I love this place. It is nestled right in my neighborhood, its easy to walk to, and its cute! It will be great in the summer when they open the patio bar! It is a great hang out! Food food is great! Try the lobster mac and cheese! YUM! They also have a great selection of beers on tap! The service is awesome as well. They take pride in their food and their company here! I can tell it will be a neighborhood fav!

It would have been five stars but service was slow for Sunday brunch. Someone either called in sick or they were under staffed on purpose. The guy was run ragged. The food was amazing and some of it gluten free and vegetarian yumminess. Their potatoes were seasoned perfectly and overall the food was better than watercourse foods. Pizzas were also great. Not the best I've had in Denver, but very good !

Went here for dinner- pizza and wings were excellent, house wine had a heavy pour, and the meatballs on the meatball sub were quite tasty. Two things I would like improved- one, I would like to see prices next to the beers on the menu, since everything else but the specialty cocktails had prices (and I mean, those could have prices too), two, the meatball sub was tasty and the lobster roll looks good as well, but LAYS as the side? Not the nicest complement to a fancy sammy. But hey, the place just opened, maybe an upscale chip is on it's way. Overall, I have high hopes for this place, with its comfortable seats, metal detailed bar, jazz music and beautiful antique design. They took an already interesting space and classed it up even further. Cheers!

I will not recommended this restaurant to anyone. I went in a Monday night at 6 with my kids and ordered a pizza for them and a salad for my mother and I to share. It took forever to get our appetizer and finally our salad came out and I asked when the pizza would be up, my kids were very hungry. She said the kitchen was backed up, even though we were one of the first ones there, but it should be out in 10 min or so. After about 20 minutes she came back and handed me the bill saying she took the pizza and salad off the bill. I asked when the pizza would be out and she said unfortunately they dropped the pizza. I asked if they were going to make another one and she said no. I was beside myself... My kids were so hungry. I told her to go back into the kitchen and have them fire a new one for my kids. She then went to another table and handed out silverware and then went to the bar and spoke to someone. By this time I was so fed up I walked up to her and said not to fire that pizza, we were leaving. I cannot believe they dropped our pizza and didn't make another one!? Rediculous. I not only won't recommend this place, I will tell my tail and caution those against it.

Gave Oblios a try for SuperBowl Sunday. Ali our bartender gave us world class service. The garlic and hot wings were bomb. I'll be back. Check em out!
(5)Megan S.
I had high expectations for Oblios after a few friends recommended it, but I was a bit disappointed by the service and food, not to mention the mopping of the floor that was going on when we walked in, leaving that vile bleach smell. We went for brunch and I got a very small plate that was poorly cooked eggs and reheated frozen potatoes. The $2 mimosas saved the experience slightly, as did the very nice albeit extremely slow staff. My friend got a traditional item on the menu and had a better food experience. I'd go back and sit outside, maybe order a pizza and try one more time, but that's far down on my list after this weekend's experience.
(3)Andy P.
Great happy hour prices. Best Pizza downtown! My wife Ann and I had heard we should check it out. Really glad we did! Marinara sauce makes the pizza. Will try the Stromboli next time! Andy P

This place has a classy yet casual feel to it. Basic menu consists of good pizza and amazing wings. I always go with the original hot wings and they are always cooked perfectly. I would love to get their sauce recipe. I'm not a beer drinker, but they have a dish called the bankers plate which consists of a personal pizza, a side salad, and a PBR for under $10. That's a good deal even if you toss the beer. They have $2 mimosas for brunch which are basic, but not bad. I usually sit out on the back patio because even in the coldest weather it's nice out there because it is closed off and heated. Overall it's a great spot to go hang out and have a good lunch with a few drinks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
(5)Amy O.
I love restaurants that are tucked away in residential neighborhoods. Oblio's is a great spot with a really nice aesthetic. Only stopped in for drinks but they were great and the server was super friendly. I'd love to go back!
(5)Britnee A.
I like Oblios because it's literally less than a black away from my house. I feel like the kitchen should be open longer because their menu is amazing. They have lobster salad and gluten free pizza. Overall it's not my first choice, but it's a cute little place to go to.

I have been here several times. The first time they forgot my drink, the next time they forgot our pizza. After 40 minutes, the waitress remembered us and came to inquire what we'd ordered- she had never even put the order in. We kept going back thinking they were just taking awhile to get all of the kinks of running a business worked out. Nope! The most recent time, they forgot us! My fiancé and I spoke with a staff member at the host station (presumably the hostess) and got on the wait list. Several minutes later, we saw the couple behind us speak with the bartender and she put them on a different list. We were confused so we went up to check that we were still on the list. It turns out there were "different" lists. The bartender told us in no uncertain terms that she had no idea about the list at the front hostess stand but that her list was the "real list" and that we could be put at the bottom of it. We said forget it and promptly left and haven't been back. How rude! Our friends went and described a similar experience. My experience is similar to some of the other one and two star reviews. Whereas this restaurant was once packed on Friday and Saturday nights, I now only see a couple of customers at any given time. Not surprising in the least. You can't treat customers like crap, or they won't be customers for long. UPDATE: In addition to being treated rudely while visiting this restaurant, the owner, Thomas G, posted an unhinged rant in response to my (fairly moderate) Yelp review above referring to it as "slander" and "feible critique". Within a few hours, his response was removed by Yelp because it was harassment. I'm also assuming he meant feeble but who knows? It's a bit shocking that the owner would continue disrespecting customers even after the visit. Due to my treatment after the fact, I definitely won't be back to this establishment and will ensure that I warn my friends as well.

I have to say that the management has really redeemed itself here for now. The next time we tried Oblio's, we went purely for convenience and were ready for the worst. The service was still shamefully slow, but we were taking it lightly and not letting it get to us. At the end of the meal the manager came up and asked how it was. We told her pretty much the same thing we've reviewed, and she sat down with us, heard us out, and told us all of the great things they were doing to improve the place. It meant a lot that the manager seemed to be really interested in our constructive criticism, and that she took the time to make us feel heard and taken care of. We will be sure to continue to visit and see how the service improves.
(4)Jessie A.
Server really knew her wine, recommended an amazing sauvignon blanc. Pizza was great. I could tell she had a big section so service was a little slow, but still really good. Definitely will go back. Beautiful restaurant, lovely patio.
(4)Catie G.
My boyfriend and I had been here once before and were very happy with it. However, yesterday my mom and I choose this place for happy hour, got there right before 5:00 and there was one bartender serving the entire place. We wait to be seated for 10 minutes and once we were we waited another 10 minutes to get drinks. We were never helped. No "we'll be right with you" or anything, so we left. Very disappointing service, especially for a Friday afternoon. Not so sure I want to go back anytime soon.
(1)Isaac B.
3rd visit this time... 1st was not great the 2nd was ok so I thought I would try again... The third visit on the evening of May 15th was the worst. First, it took about 25 minutes to get a drink. My food (lobster mac and cheese) came around an hour after I ordered it. I have to say.. the menu says fresh flown in lobster. WOW... this was as frozen and tastless as I have seen before. The bartender did comp the ticket stating that they were actually just out of lobster. My question is why serve it at all? The bartender and the server were arguing back and forth the entire time I was there, which makes for a very uncomfortable guest atmosphere. While sitting at the bar aside from the arguing amongst the staff I watched a server stick his fingers into a drink and fish a garnish out of it, re-garnish it and then serve the drink. I wish you luck Oblios, it makes me sad to be a neighborhood person that loves local business. However your business is not for me.
(1)Justin G.
The pizza is pretty darn amazing. My mom was in town visiting and said it might be the best she's ever had.
(5)Allison O.
Great addition to the neighborhood! I have always loved their Park Hill location and I am very happy they have another location patronize. The patio looks like it will be great when the weather is good. Pizza is very good and great selection of beers, drinks, wine etc. Looking forward to spending some quality time at this location.
(4)Ray K.
Let me start by saying that we need this place. We are stoked its here and want it to succeed. Here are some observations from cap hill vets.. There is not really a decent ' nicer ' bar in the area besides Prohibition. The interior is nice and inviting, as are the staff. However , after having the breakfast pizza one day and a salad and breadsticks another night I have to be honest... This place needs to be more than a nicer pizza joint . Sliceworks kills it already and tony ps is close too. The atmosphere here makes me expect nicer food like calamari, salmon , high end burgers etc . Also crack some eggs and hashbrowns and bust out the benedicts for brunch ' breakfast pizza' just seems lazy kinda.... . The drinks are very good! Fix the menu and make it match the expectation set by the interior and neighborhood and it'll be great! Thanks ! We look forward to more!
(4)Cade M.
Had multiple items and they all were great. The Stromboli was spot on! Lobster roll was unbelievable-authentic Maine style. Good local beers and a fun atmosphere while enjoying the Broncos game. Strongly suggest to friends and families.
(5)Scott N.
This is a fantastic little tavern in the heart of the Hill. Very laid back atmosphere, great bar, good selection of beers on tap, and a great menu. The owners really did a great job at remodeling this spot from it's past bistro life. Summer time will be great here. 2 garage doors located behind the bar will be open to allow you to belly up from the patio. Great place to watch a game as well. 2 TV's for patio viewing too. Staff was friendly and immediately had recommendations. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Rich P.
Pleasant looking interior and exterior decor but as others have stated in an odd location though living across the street I welcome it. Staff was cordial and well informed on the bar selection. Had two draws of the Graham Cracker stout which was very smooth with a good flavor. The Seared Tuna on a Caesar salad may not have been the best complimentary to the beer but was excellent. The tuna was seared on the outside and red on the inside just as it should be. The Soy Mustard dip was delicious. Bit pricey but with such a small seating not outrageous.
(4)Helen O.
It's my 3rd time here- I've had the lobster mac n cheese pizza, which has blown my mind twice and their cookie pizza is awesome too! The breakfast burrito wasn't bad but nothing to brag about..... The service on the other hand wasn't impressive :( this last time we came in the service honestly sucked, which is a real let down because this lobster pizza is amazing. Oh and their decor is beautiful vintage
(3)Richard R.
Any place with good food, excellent booze, TVs, an old school building, comfy seats, a patio, and it's close enough to crawl home is my kind of establishment. Oblio's delivers all of this in full and is a welcome business in Cap Hill. It's one of the unique charms that make this neighborhood so great. You really can't go wrong when you stop in to this place. Got a hangover? Not after a stop off at Oblio's. They offer Bloody Mary's and Mimosa in addition to brunch/lunch menu items that will cure any ailment. Breakfast burritos, breakfast cocktails, salads, pizzas, flat bread, everything that you need to move on from the night before is all here. Even if you aren't hurting from a night on the town you can enjoy the food and drink and the really laid back feel. Most peeps go in for the Banker's Plate which is a pizza, salad and drink for $9.25. Not too shabby for a little place. Since this building became Oblio's it has gained so much personality. It's so easy going what with the big chairs, open patio, TVs for TV watching, courteous and prompt service. I have never had a bad time here - mostly I do daytime stops but a weekend evening excursion would be a lot of fun too. If you know and like the people in Cap Hill then you'll be in good company. What really stands out to me is that this place is so easy. Easy to get to, simple but delicious menus, effortless service, trouble-free clientele, straightforward Cap Hill goodness. I'm very glad this institution is part of the hood. Food, drink, and fun - need you ask for anything more?
(5)Matt R.
The location of this spot is awesome. Away from most of the busier spots in cap hill. The selection of food is basically sandwiches, pizza and salads. All of which are pretty average, nothing to brag about. The service moves at the pace of a snail, unless you grab drinks from the bar. I most recently ordered the Mediterranean salad, it was tasty for sure. The one mistake the place made, was fixed and I got my food comped. Next time will just indulge in drinks, no food.
(3)Mari M.
We may have moved out of Cap Hill with our two dogs but we still return to Oblio's for the dryrub-wings. They are just good and everything a dryrubbed wing should be. Happy Hour wine is still tasty.
(5)John D.
I dig the neighborhood vibe here. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly, and they have a great selection of drinks to choose from. I've never had the good here, but I'm told it's very tasty. Since their taps are always changing, you're going to find a different beer selection each time. I wish they had at least one good brown or stout on tap during my last visit, but their selection seemed to be geared towards lighter summer beers like lagers and IPAs, none of which I'm a fan of. I ordered a Moscow Mule, which has become my favorite summertime drink. They serve it in a copper mug, which makes for a better Mule, but aside from that I found it a bit overpriced for an underwhelming drink. It had too much lime juice and I could barely taste the ginger beer at all, so it tasted like an $8 vodka with lime. I'm hoping that next time I visit they'll let me introduce them to the best Mule ever (hint: angostura bitters), and then they can make it for you when you visit. Aside from that, I'm a huge fan of Oblio's. I love the decor, the bathroom is very neat (and I mean both clean and pretty cool), and it's a great place to spend time with friends after work. See you there!
(4)Carly B.
Pros: right in cap hill where there aren't many other restaurants in walking distance, beautiful building/decor, you can't beat the price of the bankers plate-a drink, pizza, and salad for $10. Also the Stromboli app or the cookie pizza dessert are amazing Cons:been here probably 10 times and have never had quick or great service. Be prepared to wait for your food and wonder if your server forgot about you. I also attempted to go for lunch last week and they weren't open the hours listed online. No one was there when I went at around noon for lunch. I continue to go back for the great food but really wish they'd improve the quality of service and timeliness of the food.
(2)Katie S.
What a great place! Awesome pizza and a few other menu options. (Lobster mac and cheese is killer good) Service is great and super friendly. This is a real locals place, great covered patio and awesome selection of local on tap beers (Graham cracker porter!) Also you will not find a better deal than the Banker's plate, small pizza, side salad and PBR for 9 bucks!
(5)Aaron M.
This is one of my favorite places to have a quite brunch. I have to say, they have an epic bloody marry bar! They will bring you a class with ice and vodka than you get to go to their bloody marry bar and create your own masterpiece!!! Complete with cheeses, peppers, assorted mixes and BACON... All the bacon you want! To my satisfaction I have explored their brunch menu several times and the breakfast pizza is first-rate.
(4)Ryan M.
I am buying a place across the street from Oblios, and I have now been a few times. I am a HUGE fan of the place. The service is always outstanding, and the happy hour specials are fantastic! They have a $5 stromboli that is to die for, $3 beers (mostly local), $5 cheese bread and $6 wings (for 12). Im looking forward to being across the street! I will frequent Oblios!
(4)Allyson M.
My roommate and I live in the Cap Hill area and this place is a great addition to the neighborhood! The decor on the inside has modern touches without losing the character of the building itself. We split the Margherita pizza and it did not disappoint! They have an awesome drink selection and good happy hours as well. The owners Shea and Tommy were so nice and welcomed us warmly. I highly recommend this place to anyone who just wants a chill night out with friends or for a large party because the back room is large enough to accommodate a big group. I had my birthday party here in their large back room and the service was great! Daniel and Ally were so accommodating and everyone at the party kept commenting on how awesome they were! The event coordinator worked with me on all the details from how many people would be coming to the music we wanted played. It was great to receive this kind of attention! I also just recently brought my family in for Easter brunch and it was still a great dining experience! Nancy was nice and attentive. We each ordered items off the brunch menu and were all pleased with what we ordered. The Breakfast Burrito was delicious! This is officially my new neighborhood bar and I am loving it every time I visit!
(5)Rebeca R.
This place rules! Brunch, late night, lunch, dinner - all appropriate and delightful. I love this location, vibe, and design! In a large space there are options to sit at the bar, slide into a booth, sit at a table or chill on the patio. There are some TVs for sports nuts, great music is always playing and they offer a myriad of excellent drinks and food options. Some out of town family loved this spot so much we went twice in three days! They have a selection of local brews, a full bar, and a sweet brunch mimosa deal. Everything I've had on the menu rocks. The banker's special is a favorite - a small pizza, a salad and a wine or PBR for around $9. The pizza is super good! The wings, breadsticks, salad, desserts are all tasty too! Plus, it is easy to take left overs as we live in the hood. The only issue is sometimes there isn't enough service as they often have a large crowd with few staff members. But, this is usually during the weird hours I end up there. At large meal times, they seem to be fully staffed. You have to see the place for yourself. A Victorian mansion meets modern functionality, in a great neighborhood to boot!
(5)Herman S.
Right around the corner from where we were staying. Walked right in and grabbed a table on the patio. Server was right there to get our drink order. Salad was dripping with dressing (maybe ask for dressing on the side) but it was tasty. The real star was the delicious think crust pizza. BBQ sauce, chicken and pineapple. Wonderful! We will return.
(4)Wes B.
Capitol hills best kept secret...until now. I always have a great time here. Amazing staff i cant believe this place is so close. All the staff is great but in particular Allie, Nancy and Molly. Please dont come here.
(5)Charlotte S.
This is a little gem in the CapHill neighborhood. We were really blown away by how nice it was inside, think plush chairs and lighting, and how perfect the little patio is. The bar opens to both the inside and outside for those nice summer days, and it's a great place to grab a drink. Full disclosure- it is a pizza place. We didn't order but they looked pretty damn good. I took off one star because the cannoli I ordered left something to be desired. The shell was overdone, and they were lazy on the filling. Also the generic chocolate syrup they used to make it look pretty ended up drowning the cannoli.
(4)L B.
Went here a little whole ago with my boyfriend. We were craving pizza (which happens often) and walked to this place since it's righty around the corner from my house. We say at the bar and it was all open air since it was beautiful out! Cool little place transformed into a restaurant. They had trivia that night which wasn't too bad. The pizza wasn't all that great. Super doughy and didn't seem fully cooked. Definitely not the type I liked. And they got the toppings wrong. Probably won't return unless we can't think of anywhere else to go. Overall a so-so place. There's plenty of other decent spots around.
(3)Christine Y.
This place is average. Nothing really special and the drinks are ok. Their beer selection is a little bit better but not by much. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but the food is mediocre. The atmosphere of the place is nothing to rave about as well. Sort of dark and hard to see at night. They do have outdoor seating which is nice.
(3)Justin W.
Great happy hour til 6. Get some half price wings and a $3 draft. I didn't know whether to remain a gentleman and stay quiet or scream for my team on TV - the atmosphere made me feel like a sports fan in the kings palace. #justsayin
(4)Timothy M.
Friendly staff, great food, great drinks! Caribbean jerk flavored wings are spectacular. Early Happy Hour and another one later in the evening so you can stop off on the way home or stop in after a post work nap ;) Nice little Bloody Mary bar during the weekend brunch.
(4)Chris D.
I found my lobster roll place in Denver! With big chunks of lobster and a good sized sandwich at a good price, this is the place to go. I'm sure their other food is great, but I think this is my go to. My only complaint is that the roll comes with what appear to be lays potato chips.
(5)Michael R.
Got some delivery. I must say the first impression based on packaging was cheap quality. The food seemed to follow suit. Nothing memorable or worth ordering again. This is very basic cheap ingredient good that you can get in any small town in America.
(2)Chris M.
This is my neighborhood bar. The draft selection is good, and the food never fails to satisfy. The staff is friendly and helpful with selections if you're not sure what you want. The ambiance is relaxed on the patio or in the back room, and they've got TVs at the bar to watch sports. I just love coming here.
(5)Andrea M.
This was a great place to hangout with friends and Lover's from another Mother(s). Delicious food with a decent drink selection. Awesome service-- if you happen upon a lovely waitress that says, "Trust me!" Do it. You won't be sorry. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars are the TVs on every wall.
(4)Brittany B.
I really wanted to like this place, great location, awesome building, nice staff but the food was less than mediocre and the beer was just barely chilled. If they can fix their beer lines and menu this could be a great place!
(2)Alysia C.
Eh. The outside patio is great. Like, really great. Awesome location. The beer selection is pretty decent. Except the last time I was there, trying to figure out which beers they had on tap was a lot more difficult than it should have been. Their food was decent. I'm just not really impressed by pizza. I'd give this place a solid B. I'd definitely return for the patio and local beer offerings.
(3)Kathleen A.
I just moved in across the street. (Literally, across the street. This is my view from my living room). On my first night at the new place, me and my new roommate checked this place out for dinner and a couple drinks. This place has only been open for a couple days, and like every new place, definitely has a couple kinks to work out but nothing that won't be worked out in the next few weeks. The pizza is FANTASTIC! This is coming from someone who is just a super snob about pizza in general. I had a pizza with artichoke hearts, garlic, and sausage (that I custom created). The sauce is superb, the crust is even very delicious and the ingredients were fresh. They offer a decent beer selection on tap offering a few local brews as well. This could be deadly..or awesome..living so close. keep up the good work and I look forward to many visits from here on out!
(4)Ituku A.
I grew up in a big Italian family in southern Connecticut, so I am -very- snobby when it comes to pizza (and bagels, but that's a different story). Is this place as good as what you'd find in New Haven? No. Is it one of the best places to get pizza in Denver? Yes and yes again. The crust is good, there's a good selection of toppings, and the mutz is nice and soft. Bonus points for having delicious appetizers, a good happy hour menu (try the Bankers plate- a small pizza, salad, and beer for under ten bucks), friendly servers, and a good bar. Not to mention a historic building and outdoor patio. The only downside I can think of is parking; it is Cap Hill, after all. But after 7 PM you can park right out front.
(5)Dave T.
I only came for drinks, hence the missing star. The food menu looked exciting and creative. The atmosphere of this place is great. Standalone in a part of Cap Hill would be a good biking destination in the summer. Inside/outside bar, antiquated on the inside. Only qualm so far is the price. We werent there for happy hour....A little unreasonable drink and food prices. Hopefully they should not be revelling in the novelty of the location. DT.
(4)Ashley K.
I love this tavern. The staff is incredibly friendly and the location + menu just can't be beat. You'll find a lot of New England-inspired fare on the menu, including the most amazing lobster roll sandwich you will ever have in your life. The back room is perfect for large/private parties and a new open air patio is perfect for summertime drinks. The décor is contemporary and upscale, and the 1901 Victorian building itself is a gem. Couldn't recommend this place more!
(5)Julio T.
Fleur burned out pretty badly in this location so I was unsure if Oblio's would be able to compete for Cap Hill hipster dollars in this kind of odd location. But after eating here once, I think they'll probably do just fine. The biggest improvement by far is very smart and extensive upgrades to the space. Eating at Fleur was kind of like eating in your rich aunt's parlor, but Oblio's looks like a great hipster date spot. I love the beaten tin bar and the grey and brown color scheme that accompanies it. The bar itself is pretty cool as it faces the patio, which can open up with a garage door. I can see that being very popular in the summer. Oblio's also opened up a previously unused back area as a dining room so it won't be nearly as crammed as Fleur (and they can make more money on those tables too!). When I went it was pretty crowded already despite not even having a web site and being open for less than a week. The menu looks good though it is a bit more limited than I was expecting. It's also probably a tad more expensive than it needs to be. I ordered a 11" pizza with two toppings and it was $16. Should probably be more around the $13 range in my opinion. The pizza was good with a savory pizza sauce and pretty quality ingredients. I am not he biggest fan of their pizza dough, which has a good texture but almost seems rolled like a cinnamon roll or something as parts of the crust would literally unravel and leave bits of toppings behind with nothing to contain them. As I am quickly approaching the time when I am leaving Capitol Hill for awhile, I am not sure how many more times I'll be able to return to Oblio's. But I'll definitely come back if I am in the area again.
(4)Thaddius B.
My new favorite hangout on the Hill. After seeing this location fail a few times glad to see it is doing well. I have only had a few things on the menu and they were good. Although I do wish the menu had a little more diversity. The salads are good and so are the pizzas, Stromboli and wings. That's all I have had. But what I like about it is the atmosphere. The way they made it an open air bar is great. The staff is awesome and after only coming in a few times some of them knew me by name which is always nice. I see myself spending a lot of time here the rest of the summer sipping on cocktails.
(4)Marc A.
Good Bloodies, great pizza, fantastic wings... why havent I found you earlier, Oblios?! This is the neighborhood bar I wish was in Wash Park. I love the interior decor, and the servers and bartenders are super nice. I think this is my go-to place for the rest of the summer.
(4)Jenny S.
This is my first time in here and the vibe is cool! Great space and good people watching. The service, however, was horrible. A friend and I came and sat at the bar - we were the only ones at the bar - and not greeted at all. Only one other table in the restaurant. The bar top was dirty to start. We had to ask for drinks, a menu, and a rag to clean the bar. Then we had to ask to order food. When we did, they messed up our order - both size of pizza and toppings. The chef delivered the pizza and apologized for the size mistake. When we realized the topping mistake and told the bartender, she rolled her eyes and stormed back to the kitchen. It was corrected and the pizza was really good (hence the 2 stars). Our drinks were empty for 10 minutes (no joke - we timed it) before they were refilled. While we sat, we observed a few other things. The bartender started pouring a Stella, noticed a lipstick stain on the glass, got a new glass, poured the half beer into the new glass, and kept filling from the tap. It was served to the table behind us. A similar situation happened with a glass of wine and a chipped glass. When I was bartending, this was NEVER ok. You got a new glass and a new pour. We also saw them handling the glasses by the top and putting dirty hands where people would drink. In general, the bar service was slow and unsure. As we sat, others came and it was no different. They had to ASK for drinks or menus. The patio got busy and service seemed equally horrible out there. The most annoying part is that there were other waitstaff just sitting around. OMG! As I sit here and type this, we just saw a new bartender start to fill a beer from the tap, notice a lipstick stain on the glass, wipe off the glass, continue pouring beer in the SAME glass, and serve it to a customer. Gross. The food saved this place. I'll probably give it another chance - but not order a drink :)

A fun place! I've only been once on a Sunday afternoon so far. We stumbled on this after getting a disinterested "it'll be an HOUR" from a nearby cool-kids brunch place (yawn, ok: keep your damn beets and eggs...) For food, we ordered up an Italian sandwich and some wings, both delicious. There is a limited brunch menu but they plan to expand on it. The previous place did a decent job on the building - Oblios took that a step further and made it fabulous. I can't wait to make it back to try the pizza!

Love this local gem. Go for the bankers plate; 2 topping personal pizza, a salad, and a PBR or house wine for ten bucks. Great staff and Sunday Ticket.

My girlfriend and I both awoke this morning to hangovers and an empty fridge - going out for brunch sounded much more attractive than heading to the grocery store, so we walked over to Oblio's, about a block from where we live. This is a cool old building, that does well representing some of the unique architecture of Cap Hill. The interior has some odd design choices, but overall it was a comfortable space. No qualms here. The brunch menu is incredibly short. Omelet, pancakes, an egg scramble, and a breakfast burrito. We both ordered bloody marys, and both got scrambles after the waitress warned us away from the omelets (quote: "they're made in the pizza oven. They're not good."). They advertise a bloody mary bar, but that was nowhere to be seen. Instead, we simply ordered drinks from the bar. It appears that they use a bloody mary mix straight from the bottle, and it's just plain bad. Too sweet, and full of bits of whatever it's seasoned with. I really wanted to pour my drink through a sieve, though that still wouldn't have improved the flavor. Garnish for the drinks was 1/2 frozen celery (though somehow dried out at the same time), and a sad toothpick with the tiniest lime slice you've ever seen, and a couple of the cheapest Sysco green olives they could find. The egg scrambles are described on the menu as eggs, with your choice of 2 toppings, cheddar cheese, all served over red potato homefries. I ordered mine with black olives and tomatoes, and GF got hers with bacon, onions, and topped with pork green chili. Starting with hers, the "pork" green chili was clearly from a can, and didn't seem to have any actual pork in it. The "homefries" were nothing more than shoestring french fries, chopped up, deep fried, with nothing added to them, and no seasoning at all. My scramble was ordered with black olives (cheap Sysco canned olives again), and tomatoes (which were about 1/2 ripe). The eggs were horribly over cooked and brown, and were also completely unseasoned. My final conclusion: even though I like supporting local business, and this place is close enough to hit with a thrown rock, I can't see any reason to go back. There are too many other restaurants in or near Cap Hill where I can get a good bloody mary, a better selection of brunch dishes, or really good pizza. On the upside, I'll be looking forward to checking out whatever restaurant moves into this space once Oblio's fails.

Decent food and BETTER atmosphere. Situated in an old Victorian house in Cap Hill, this restaurant is great for day drinking/eating. The garage style doors open up behind the bar to a nice sized outdoor patio that gets busy during happy hour and on nice days. The Stromboli is greasy, but really good and the pizza is decent. They host Trivia during the week. One downside is they used to deliver, but have stopped which means I don't order nearly as much....really ever. If they would hire a delivery driver, I would be ordering much more. Otherwise, I pop in on nice days when I am looking for pizza, a beer, and decent atmosphere.
(3)Deginald W.
Friendly staff! Drinks were priced well and the food was good enjoyed how clean it was and have a good selection of drinks and menu items that will please a lot of people

This is a great place for hh or a lazy sat/sun afternoon snack and drink; I'm sure it's great at other times but that's when I've been there. Nice patio and inside ambiance, there's some great plaster work inside for those that appreciate it. The food is quite good and is consistent. Try the rotisserie wings extra crispy; they are ridiculous! The pizzas are quite tasty as well. They have a suite of TV's as well, viewable from the main room and patio for the sports fan. In general great neighborhood spot to meet friends or a group. My only complaint, which is improving every time I visit, is quality of service across the board (servers and bartenders), except for the chef/cook that always seems to deliver my food. He's a gent and just seems to loves his food and the people that eat it! It's definitely worth a visit, the service has improved and it shouldn't disappoint! T
(4)Anita S.
First time there the bartender was talkative and fun. Dinner with three friends. We all ordered the special which included a pizza and salad AND A GLASS OF WINE!! Delicious food and wonderfully beautiful space. I saw they had brunch on weekends and can't wait to try it!!!

Yes Owner, I am sure I am talking about your restaurant. The other establishments I mention are actually quite close to you, not sure why you would say otherwise. Saw your (since deleted) rant at another yelper accusing him/her of being a competitor out to smear your restaurant. I know the yelper personally and happen to have been in your establishment for one of the incidents he/she reviewed. The review was accurate. Glad I did not take you up on the offer for a beer. Way to keep it classy Oblios.

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I came here on a Friday for lunch a little after 1pm. There was no wait and we were told we could sit anywhere we want. I have mixed feelings about the decor. On one hand I liked the look and everything seemed cohesive from the bar to the booths to the lights, etc but then I felt I was sitting in a hotel bar or lounge. The server was ok. She was the only server there and didn't stand out to me. She wasn't enthusiastic or make any recommendations. Maybe other people are ok with that but I like when my servers build some rapport especially since it's a new restaurant. Finally the food - I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and my husband ordered the Italian calzone. My husband thought the calzone was good. Nothing really special but was decent. My lobster mac and cheese was a disappointment. I didn't expect to find the hearty lobster pieces cold on a hot bed of mac and cheese. I liked the amount of lobster in the dish but it was cold. The mac was too well done so it tasted a bit mushy and the cheese tasted like velveeta. The two breadsticks that come with this dish were probably the best part. I know this is a new restaurant and they're trying to figure out the kinks, but I don't think my experience makes me want to come try this restaurant again. Maybe others will have better luck.

Went last night for Happy Hour with a friend. We only had wine, no food. Our waitress was great. We were there for 3 hours and each only had two glasses of wine and the waitress never tried to rush us. The patio was super cute with a wonderful neighborhood feel. I will be going back.
(5)Nancy A.
I can't stop saying amazing things about oblios! First off, the service is phenomenal! The staff cares about their customers so much. I have been coming here since they opened and I always find myself here! The staff is what pulled me in, they remembered me and my name and I have always had a great experience here! If you haven't been here, you should!
(5)Kimberly I.
I love this place. It is nestled right in my neighborhood, its easy to walk to, and its cute! It will be great in the summer when they open the patio bar! It is a great hang out! Food food is great! Try the lobster mac and cheese! YUM! They also have a great selection of beers on tap! The service is awesome as well. They take pride in their food and their company here! I can tell it will be a neighborhood fav!
(5)Wyndi S.
It would have been five stars but service was slow for Sunday brunch. Someone either called in sick or they were under staffed on purpose. The guy was run ragged. The food was amazing and some of it gluten free and vegetarian yumminess. Their potatoes were seasoned perfectly and overall the food was better than watercourse foods. Pizzas were also great. Not the best I've had in Denver, but very good !
(4)Ray K.
Let me start by saying that we need this place. We are stoked its here and want it to succeed. Here are some observations from cap hill vets.. There is not really a decent ' nicer ' bar in the area besides Prohibition. The interior is nice and inviting, as are the staff. However , after having the breakfast pizza one day and a salad and breadsticks another night I have to be honest... This place needs to be more than a nicer pizza joint . Sliceworks kills it already and tony ps is close too. The atmosphere here makes me expect nicer food like calamari, salmon , high end burgers etc . Also crack some eggs and hashbrowns and bust out the benedicts for brunch ' breakfast pizza' just seems lazy kinda.... . The drinks are very good! Fix the menu and make it match the expectation set by the interior and neighborhood and it'll be great! Thanks ! We look forward to more!
(4)Cade M.
Had multiple items and they all were great. The Stromboli was spot on! Lobster roll was unbelievable-authentic Maine style. Good local beers and a fun atmosphere while enjoying the Broncos game. Strongly suggest to friends and families.
(5)Scott N.
This is a fantastic little tavern in the heart of the Hill. Very laid back atmosphere, great bar, good selection of beers on tap, and a great menu. The owners really did a great job at remodeling this spot from it's past bistro life. Summer time will be great here. 2 garage doors located behind the bar will be open to allow you to belly up from the patio. Great place to watch a game as well. 2 TV's for patio viewing too. Staff was friendly and immediately had recommendations. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Rich P.
Pleasant looking interior and exterior decor but as others have stated in an odd location though living across the street I welcome it. Staff was cordial and well informed on the bar selection. Had two draws of the Graham Cracker stout which was very smooth with a good flavor. The Seared Tuna on a Caesar salad may not have been the best complimentary to the beer but was excellent. The tuna was seared on the outside and red on the inside just as it should be. The Soy Mustard dip was delicious. Bit pricey but with such a small seating not outrageous.

We have eaten at the first Oblio's in Northern Denver, and loved it! Their pizza is very good! Now, let me start this review of the Oblios Cap Hill Tavern, by stating the following ratings for it: pizza = 4 stars interior/overall experience = 2 stars Oblios Cap Hill Tavern was once Fleur Bistro, once a flower shop, once a bridal shop. All are still invisible inside. The front room is the "bar area." The ornate ceiling is still there, from one of the previous establishments. This room is small and bright. There is a tv, and a nice atmosphere. The back room is definitely "the back room,' and not well thought out. We wondered if we were still in the same restaurant. There are purple "tiles" or what look like tiles, along the wall that is the exterior of the kitchen, which run along the length of this back room. There are two large L-shaped sectionals, and I mean LARGE, on each end of the room. Each of these can seat (but not comfortably) 8-10 people, so LARGE sectionals. Sitting on one of these L-shaped sectionals, either forces you to sit forward, at the end of the cushion, so you can reach the table. Or, if you sit way back, to try to be comfortable, you won't be able to reach the table. Did I mention the sectionals are LARGE! The tables in this back room, are large rectangular tables, which look they have were after thoughts. There are also smaller square tables, which could seat four people, but the type of chairs in this room are "lounge" type chairs, which cut the seating down to these smaller square tables to two. Maybe that is what they were going for, I don't know. There are three large screen tvs in this room. There is also a large (no LARGE) chandelier in the center of the room, which seems out of place. I'm assuming this is from when the place was a bridal shop. Can you see it now... the bride-to-be steps out of the dressing room, and steps onto the round circular platform that is in the center of the room, under the chandelier. She can see herself in the row of mirrors that were along the wall, between the two large L-shaped sectionals, where her family and friends were anxiously waiting to see her in her wedding gown. Oh, I digress. This is now Oblios Cap Hill Tavern. Are you getting the picture? The back room is dark, and nothing seems to fit, the back room seems like an after thought. Several other people walked in while we were there, and had odd expressions on their faces, as if they too questioned if this was the same restaurant. The food is good, and we still love the pizza! We have previously eaten at the first Oblios Pizza in Northern Denver, so we knew what to expect, at least the food anyways. Service - ok. Parking - street parking, and in this part of town, there are plenty of apartments, so plan on walking. Will we be back? Maybe in a year, when they finish the interior, and actually turn the place into a great restaurant, like the original Oblios. We'll see if they are still around.
(2)Jamie W.
Love everything I have eaten here! Lobster roll, pizzas, wings, lobster Mac and cheese, salad and Moscow mules. Mmmmm. I try to try something new each time and it never disappoints! It's higher priced but the servers are great and food is great so it's worth it!
(5)Nickerbacher N.
Nothing spectacular, but a nice place to stop by for a pint. Pretty good bar selection and a friendly bartender. Nice outside seating space too. I nice tucked away gem of a bar.
(3)Lisa S.
Went here for dinner- pizza and wings were excellent, house wine had a heavy pour, and the meatballs on the meatball sub were quite tasty. Two things I would like improved- one, I would like to see prices next to the beers on the menu, since everything else but the specialty cocktails had prices (and I mean, those could have prices too), two, the meatball sub was tasty and the lobster roll looks good as well, but LAYS as the side? Not the nicest complement to a fancy sammy. But hey, the place just opened, maybe an upscale chip is on it's way. Overall, I have high hopes for this place, with its comfortable seats, metal detailed bar, jazz music and beautiful antique design. They took an already interesting space and classed it up even further. Cheers!

I will not recommended this restaurant to anyone. I went in a Monday night at 6 with my kids and ordered a pizza for them and a salad for my mother and I to share. It took forever to get our appetizer and finally our salad came out and I asked when the pizza would be up, my kids were very hungry. She said the kitchen was backed up, even though we were one of the first ones there, but it should be out in 10 min or so. After about 20 minutes she came back and handed me the bill saying she took the pizza and salad off the bill. I asked when the pizza would be out and she said unfortunately they dropped the pizza. I asked if they were going to make another one and she said no. I was beside myself... My kids were so hungry. I told her to go back into the kitchen and have them fire a new one for my kids. She then went to another table and handed out silverware and then went to the bar and spoke to someone. By this time I was so fed up I walked up to her and said not to fire that pizza, we were leaving. I cannot believe they dropped our pizza and didn't make another one!? Rediculous. I not only won't recommend this place, I will tell my tail and caution those against it.
(1)Rudy L.
Good food and good variety of beers and spirits. Only qualm is the portion for the Lobster Rolls. For $18, and being that Lobsters are still going for the lowest per pound they ever have, would be nice if these lobster rolls at least were comparable to those of the East Coast. A little "over the top" would be nice. And the mayo was barely noticeable. With said, the rolls were delicious if not a little over toasted and with a bit much garlic slathered on the roll. I don't know if they make fries (Didn't see any on the menu, but might be a good idea to compliment several of the items on the menu (people get tired of chipa, but never fries. Also, a lobster roll goes well with a cool slaw side. Stopped for a bite and a brew to get out of some crazy traffic, and was not disappointed. May have to check it out on a Friday Night to see how business compares to today's mellow Sunday.
(4)Allison N.
Love the neighborhood atmosphere. The service was great and I love the decor of the restaurant. We sat on the patio on a gorgeous night. The pizza was good but nothing to brag about. I'll probably be back but I have other favorite pizza places.
(4)Ashley H.
We really wanted to like this place, but the mediocre food & terrible service coupled with an hour wait for food on a day with very few patrons, means we will likely not be back. The inside is gorgeous, and it's clear this is a historic building with a lot of potential. New management is desperately needed. Check out one of the awesome other places in Cap Hill, and save your money by going elsewhere.
(2)Lauren L.
I stayed at an Air b&b across the street. Oblios was an extension of our house. We came here everyday for our brunch and lunch grub and drinks! The food and drinks were great. Erica and Megan were so friendly and accommodating! Hanging out here really made the trip a blast. I will be back! We had the to amazing pancakes, capital caesar sandwich, Mac & cheese, wings, calzones, etc... But nothing could beat the $2 mimosas
(5)Lesley H.
Great little neighborhood bar! Good beer selection AND lobster flown in daily! Our server, Erica, was fantastic! Mahalo from Hawaii visitors!
(5)Thaddius B.
My new favorite hangout on the Hill. After seeing this location fail a few times glad to see it is doing well. I have only had a few things on the menu and they were good. Although I do wish the menu had a little more diversity. The salads are good and so are the pizzas, Stromboli and wings. That's all I have had. But what I like about it is the atmosphere. The way they made it an open air bar is great. The staff is awesome and after only coming in a few times some of them knew me by name which is always nice. I see myself spending a lot of time here the rest of the summer sipping on cocktails.
(4)Marc A.
Good Bloodies, great pizza, fantastic wings... why havent I found you earlier, Oblios?! This is the neighborhood bar I wish was in Wash Park. I love the interior decor, and the servers and bartenders are super nice. I think this is my go-to place for the rest of the summer.
(4)Jenny S.
This is my first time in here and the vibe is cool! Great space and good people watching. The service, however, was horrible. A friend and I came and sat at the bar - we were the only ones at the bar - and not greeted at all. Only one other table in the restaurant. The bar top was dirty to start. We had to ask for drinks, a menu, and a rag to clean the bar. Then we had to ask to order food. When we did, they messed up our order - both size of pizza and toppings. The chef delivered the pizza and apologized for the size mistake. When we realized the topping mistake and told the bartender, she rolled her eyes and stormed back to the kitchen. It was corrected and the pizza was really good (hence the 2 stars). Our drinks were empty for 10 minutes (no joke - we timed it) before they were refilled. While we sat, we observed a few other things. The bartender started pouring a Stella, noticed a lipstick stain on the glass, got a new glass, poured the half beer into the new glass, and kept filling from the tap. It was served to the table behind us. A similar situation happened with a glass of wine and a chipped glass. When I was bartending, this was NEVER ok. You got a new glass and a new pour. We also saw them handling the glasses by the top and putting dirty hands where people would drink. In general, the bar service was slow and unsure. As we sat, others came and it was no different. They had to ASK for drinks or menus. The patio got busy and service seemed equally horrible out there. The most annoying part is that there were other waitstaff just sitting around. OMG! As I sit here and type this, we just saw a new bartender start to fill a beer from the tap, notice a lipstick stain on the glass, wipe off the glass, continue pouring beer in the SAME glass, and serve it to a customer.

It's my 3rd time here- I've had the lobster mac n cheese pizza, which has blown my mind twice and their cookie pizza is awesome too! The breakfast burrito wasn't bad but nothing to brag about..... The service on the other hand wasn't impressive :( this last time we came in the service honestly sucked, which is a real let down because this lobster pizza is amazing. Oh and their decor is beautiful vintage

Gave Oblios a try for SuperBowl Sunday. Ali our bartender gave us world class service. The garlic and hot wings were bomb. I'll be back. Check em out!
(5)Megan S.
I had high expectations for Oblios after a few friends recommended it, but I was a bit disappointed by the service and food, not to mention the mopping of the floor that was going on when we walked in, leaving that vile bleach smell. We went for brunch and I got a very small plate that was poorly cooked eggs and reheated frozen potatoes. The $2 mimosas saved the experience slightly, as did the very nice albeit extremely slow staff. My friend got a traditional item on the menu and had a better food experience. I'd go back and sit outside, maybe order a pizza and try one more time, but that's far down on my list after this weekend's experience.
(3)Andy P.
Great happy hour prices. Best Pizza downtown! My wife Ann and I had heard we should check it out. Really glad we did! Marinara sauce makes the pizza. Will try the Stromboli next time! Andy P
(4)Beezy J.
This place has a classy yet casual feel to it. Basic menu consists of good pizza and amazing wings. I always go with the original hot wings and they are always cooked perfectly. I would love to get their sauce recipe. I'm not a beer drinker, but they have a dish called the bankers plate which consists of a personal pizza, a side salad, and a PBR for under $10. That's a good deal even if you toss the beer. They have $2 mimosas for brunch which are basic, but not bad. I usually sit out on the back patio because even in the coldest weather it's nice out there because it is closed off and heated. Overall it's a great spot to go hang out and have a good lunch with a few drinks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
(5)Amy O.
I love restaurants that are tucked away in residential neighborhoods. Oblio's is a great spot with a really nice aesthetic. Only stopped in for drinks but they were great and the server was super friendly. I'd love to go back!
(5)Britnee A.
I like Oblios because it's literally less than a black away from my house. I feel like the kitchen should be open longer because their menu is amazing. They have lobster salad and gluten free pizza. Overall it's not my first choice, but it's a cute little place to go to.
(4)B D.
I have been here several times. The first time they forgot my drink, the next time they forgot our pizza. After 40 minutes, the waitress remembered us and came to inquire what we'd ordered- she had never even put the order in. We kept going back thinking they were just taking awhile to get all of the kinks of running a business worked out. Nope! The most recent time, they forgot us! My fiancé and I spoke with a staff member at the host station (presumably the hostess) and got on the wait list. Several minutes later, we saw the couple behind us speak with the bartender and she put them on a different list. We were confused so we went up to check that we were still on the list. It turns out there were "different" lists. The bartender told us in no uncertain terms that she had no idea about the list at the front hostess stand but that her list was the "real list" and that we could be put at the bottom of it. We said forget it and promptly left and haven't been back. How rude! Our friends went and described a similar experience. My experience is similar to some of the other one and two star reviews. Whereas this restaurant was once packed on Friday and Saturday nights, I now only see a couple of customers at any given time. Not surprising in the least. You can't treat customers like crap, or they won't be customers for long. UPDATE: In addition to being treated rudely while visiting this restaurant, the owner, Thomas G, posted an unhinged rant in response to my (fairly moderate) Yelp review above referring to it as "slander" and "feible critique". Within a few hours, his response was removed by Yelp because it was harassment. I'm also assuming he meant feeble but who knows? It's a bit shocking that the owner would continue disrespecting customers even after the visit. Due to my treatment after the fact, I definitely won't be back to this establishment and will ensure that I warn my friends as well.
(1)H R.
I have to say that the management has really redeemed itself here for now. The next time we tried Oblio's, we went purely for convenience and were ready for the worst. The service was still shamefully slow, but we were taking it lightly and not letting it get to us. At the end of the meal the manager came up and asked how it was. We told her pretty much the same thing we've reviewed, and she sat down with us, heard us out, and told us all of the great things they were doing to improve the place. It meant a lot that the manager seemed to be really interested in our constructive criticism, and that she took the time to make us feel heard and taken care of. We will be sure to continue to visit and see how the service improves.
(4)Jessie A.
Server really knew her wine, recommended an amazing sauvignon blanc. Pizza was great. I could tell she had a big section so service was a little slow, but still really good. Definitely will go back. Beautiful restaurant, lovely patio.
(4)Catie G.
My boyfriend and I had been here once before and were very happy with it. However, yesterday my mom and I choose this place for happy hour, got there right before 5:00 and there was one bartender serving the entire place. We wait to be seated for 10 minutes and once we were we waited another 10 minutes to get drinks. We were never helped. No "we'll be right with you" or anything, so we left. Very disappointing service, especially for a Friday afternoon. Not so sure I want to go back anytime soon.
(1)Isaac B.
3rd visit this time... 1st was not great the 2nd was ok so I thought I would try again... The third visit on the evening of May 15th was the worst. First, it took about 25 minutes to get a drink. My food (lobster mac and cheese) came around an hour after I ordered it. I have to say.. the menu says fresh flown in lobster. WOW... this was as frozen and tastless as I have seen before. The bartender did comp the ticket stating that they were actually just out of lobster. My question is why serve it at all? The bartender and the server were arguing back and forth the entire time I was there, which makes for a very uncomfortable guest atmosphere. While sitting at the bar aside from the arguing amongst the staff I watched a server stick his fingers into a drink and fish a garnish out of it, re-garnish it and then serve the drink. I wish you luck Oblios, it makes me sad to be a neighborhood person that loves local business. However your business is not for me.
(1)Justin G.
The pizza is pretty darn amazing. My mom was in town visiting and said it might be the best she's ever had.
(5)Allison O.
Great addition to the neighborhood! I have always loved their Park Hill location and I am very happy they have another location patronize. The patio looks like it will be great when the weather is good. Pizza is very good and great selection of beers, drinks, wine etc. Looking forward to spending some quality time at this location.

Check out one of the awesome other places in Cap Hill, and save your money by going elsewhere.

We have eaten at the first Oblio's in Northern Denver, and loved it! Their pizza is very good! Now, let me start this review of the Oblios Cap Hill Tavern, by stating the following ratings for it: pizza = 4 stars interior/overall experience = 2 stars Oblios Cap Hill Tavern was once Fleur Bistro, once a flower shop, once a bridal shop. All are still invisible inside. The front room is the "bar area." The ornate ceiling is still there, from one of the previous establishments. This room is small and bright. There is a tv, and a nice atmosphere. The back room is definitely "the back room,' and not well thought out. We wondered if we were still in the same restaurant. There are purple "tiles" or what look like tiles, along the wall that is the exterior of the kitchen, which run along the length of this back room. There are two large L-shaped sectionals, and I mean LARGE, on each end of the room. Each of these can seat (but not comfortably) 8-10 people, so LARGE sectionals. Sitting on one of these L-shaped sectionals, either forces you to sit forward, at the end of the cushion, so you can reach the table. Or, if you sit way back, to try to be comfortable, you won't be able to reach the table. Did I mention the sectionals are LARGE! The tables in this back room, are large rectangular tables, which look they have were after thoughts. There are also smaller square tables, which could seat four people, but the type of chairs in this room are "lounge" type chairs, which cut the seating down to these smaller square tables to two. Maybe that is what they were going for, I don't know. There are three large screen tvs in this room. There is also a large (no LARGE) chandelier in the center of the room, which seems out of place. I'm assuming this is from when the place was a bridal shop. Can you see it now... the bride-to-be steps out of the dressing room, and steps onto the round circular platform that is in the center of the room, under the chandelier. She can see herself in the row of mirrors that were along the wall, between the two large L-shaped sectionals, where her family and friends were anxiously waiting to see her in her wedding gown. Oh, I digress. This is now Oblios Cap Hill Tavern. Are you getting the picture? The back room is dark, and nothing seems to fit, the back room seems like an after thought. Several other people walked in while we were there, and had odd expressions on their faces, as if they too questioned if this was the same restaurant. The food is good, and we still love the pizza! We have previously eaten at the first Oblios Pizza in Northern Denver, so we knew what to expect, at least the food anyways. Service - ok. Parking - street parking, and in this part of town, there are plenty of apartments, so plan on walking. Will we be back? Maybe in a year, when they finish the interior, and actually turn the place into a great restaurant, like the original Oblios. We'll see if they are still around.

This is a great place for hh or a lazy sat/sun afternoon snack and drink; I'm sure it's great at other times but that's when I've been there. Nice patio and inside ambiance, there's some great plaster work inside for those that appreciate it. The food is quite good and is consistent. Try the rotisserie wings extra crispy; they are ridiculous! The pizzas are quite tasty as well. They have a suite of TV's as well, viewable from the main room and patio for the sports fan. In general great neighborhood spot to meet friends or a group. My only complaint, which is improving every time I visit, is quality of service across the board (servers and bartenders), except for the chef/cook that always seems to deliver my food. He's a gent and just seems to loves his food and the people that eat it! It's definitely worth a visit, the service has improved and it shouldn't disappoint! T

Yes Owner, I am sure I am talking about your restaurant. The other establishments I mention are actually quite close to you, not sure why you would say otherwise. Saw your (since deleted) rant at another yelper accusing him/her of being a competitor out to smear your restaurant. I know the yelper personally and happen to have been in your establishment for one of the incidents he/she reviewed. The review was accurate. Glad I did not take you up on the offer for a beer. Way to keep it classy Oblios.

First time there the bartender was talkative and fun. Dinner with three friends. We all ordered the special which included a pizza and salad AND A GLASS OF WINE!! Delicious food and wonderfully beautiful space. I saw they had brunch on weekends and can't wait to try it!!!

A fun place! I've only been once on a Sunday afternoon so far. We stumbled on this after getting a disinterested "it'll be an HOUR" from a nearby cool-kids brunch place (yawn, ok: keep your damn beets and eggs...) For food, we ordered up an Italian sandwich and some wings, both delicious. There is a limited brunch menu but they plan to expand on it. The previous place did a decent job on the building - Oblios took that a step further and made it fabulous. I can't wait to make it back to try the pizza!

Love this local gem. Go for the bankers plate; 2 topping personal pizza, a salad, and a PBR or house wine for ten bucks. Great staff and Sunday Ticket.

Love the neighborhood atmosphere. The service was great and I love the decor of the restaurant. We sat on the patio on a gorgeous night. The pizza was good but nothing to brag about. I'll probably be back but I have other favorite pizza places.
