Secret Garden Bar & Café

you're on north williams street, deep in the cheesman park neighborhood, where denver gets quieter and more residential than the busier corridors a few blocks west. secret garden bar & café sits at 1290, and the fact that it doubles as a bar and a café isn't a gimmick, it's just what the space does. locals here tend to be particular about where they spend a slow morning or a late afternoon, and this place has held up under that scrutiny long enough to mean something. the cheesman park crowd doesn't hand out loyalty easily. if you make it over on a weekday afternoon, the coffee is the reason to stay, not a reason to leave quickly.
