Things to Know

El Piñon is a retro-themed coffee shop and cocktail bar on East Colfax known for its immersive 1970s aesthetic across multiple levels and skillfully crafted cocktails, located in a historic venue space.

This place nails the retro time capsule experience with thoughtful design across three distinct levels—ground floor café, covered patio, and a basement that feels straight out of That '70s Show—all while serving excellent cocktails and coffee.

  • Exceptional bartending staff (Christine and Syd specifically praised) who craft top-notch cocktails
  • Unique multi-level space with ground-floor café seating, covered patio, and basement lounge with immersive 70s decor
  • Strong coffee and pastry offerings alongside the full bar, making it work for morning visits or evening drinks

How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it.

Such a unique and retro vibe in this place, well worth the visit! I was happy to see they carried Bear Creek whiskey and the cocktails/staff were top notch. Bring your friends and hop in this little time capsule!

Awesome new coffee shop and cocktail bar on east Colfax! We stopped by for hot drinks and pastries before school and had a great experience. Loved the retro vibe and the great service. We’ll definitely be back! Can’t wait to check out the patio when the weather warms up.

Great cocktails and beer selection in a very cute space with multiple options for adventure. Ground bar level with lots of chairs and tables and windows, a covered patio and “roof deck” on second floor as well as a vibey 70s themed basement.
