Spent a few days in Denver to see Stereolab at the Ogden Theatre. Our niece and her boyfriend met us at the train station upon arrival and, knowing our love of tiki, took us directly to Adrift. Due to family gatherings we didn't think we'd have time to make it over there on our trip but so very glad we did, as we had an excellent experience. We had quite a few different drinks between us and shared a bowl called the Voodoo Witchdoctor Funk to finish the night - all were excellent. Our niece's boyfriend Zack knew everyone there (hell, he even answered the phone) and kept coming back from the bar with these amazing shots that were like daiquiris on steroids. So good.

They were playing a black & white version of Poltergeist on the telly and blasting old school soul with the occasional more modern soul track here and there. If you're a purist who needs surf movies and "All Denny, All Day" music-wise, you probably would have hated it. However, my missus adores horror movies and I'm a DJ so we were dead pleased. Great vibe all around, with special mention to the super-friendly staff. At the end of the night I asked if I could take a menu with me and the lady was kind enough to go through them to "find one that isn't too dirty for you!"

Denver is a great town. Cannae wait to make it back with no family obligations.
