I had a happy hour drink yesterday afternoon with my friend Wally and sister Susan - seen in the photograph above - at a place with no name. Seriously. There was no sign outside telling what it is, except for a poster advertising free happy hour spaghetti between 3 and 6. I have driven past that storefront a number of times, and have occasionally seen people going in and out, but had no idea what it was until Wally showed me a mailing he received promoting it as a quiet neighborhood spot, and suggested we try it. It is located in the University of Denver neighborhood near the corner of University and Evans. This spot was formerly occupied by Asbury Provisions, and before that by Renegade Brewing Company, which is the last time I visited that space. It is indeed a nice quiet place, with an old wood bar, and seems to be frequented by locals, many of whom the bartender knew by name. And yes, we all tried the spaghetti, in addition to having drinks. It did not have much sauce on it, but was still tasty, and best of all, free. My favorite price point. Wally is doing well, and he and his wife Linda are making frequent trips out to the Bay Area to visit their son and daughter and their families. On their next trip they will be celebrating the 1st birthday of one of their grandkids. Hopefully they will have a little time left over to roam around that beautiful city for a bit. Great to see you, Wally!
