Diner w tons of options - Edit
The menu was like half vegan which was awesome. The food is hit and miss though.
Read moreAll of their fries are great, the Philly is good, and the falafel is kinda bad.

Good bar food and bar! - Edit
I went here alone for some late night food and a drink on a Friday. It was busy but I was able to get a seat at the bar, and the other patrons and staff were friendly😄Good greasy fried pickles really hit the spot.

Best vegan option in Denver if you need a Coors to go with it - Edit
I've lived here for five years now and absolutely love this meal. Get the vegan spicy dipper with fries, habanero jam as the sauce. Have some habby jam for the fries and dump the rest in your beautiful vegan gravy. Dip the sammy and the fries into the new spicier gravy and thank me later. Best spot to get a meal as a vegan in Denver without question. Habanero jam will have you questioning your god.. five stars for sure but happy cow won't allow it since they have some non options
Read morePros: Beautiful gravy, Tasty sandwich, Wonderful environment

Good brunch options! - Edit
They serve brunch on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We went for brunch on a Friday and it was a very calm environment, I'm guessing very different from how it is in the evening! Vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu. I had the breakfast burrito and it was good, especially with a side of vegan ranch.

Cool venue - food lacking - Edit
Nice place - friendly staff - good music. Lots of interesting vegan sounding options but the ones I tried were sadly not great. Lack of flavor / texture/ just not that great - and not particularly cheap for bar food.
Read moreThey’d also run out of tofu when I was there - but other vegan options like jackfruit (which wasn’t particularly good).
Would come back again to try other options in the hope those are better / this was just a bad day for them - I want to like this place!

Great daytime diner feel - Edit
I’ve gone at night and during the day; I prefer lunchtime here for the chill beats, indie wall artwork and and awesome sandwich with potato shapes shared with friends.
Read moreI’ve found evenings can be quite loud and challenging to share the experience.
The food is easy to navigate with vegan options of just about everything all well labeled.

Pros: Easy menu to navigate, Great art and music, Queer friendly

Loud but yummy - Edit
Expensive, but the sandwich and fries I got were delicious. They also have a good selection of vegan sauces and non alcoholic drinks to choose from.
Read moreI didn't realize how loud the music would be until we walked in, so that was a surprise.

Best tofu of my life! - Edit
Eaten here a handful of times. Cheap beer, awesome vibes, fantastic food! We’ve had the Cubano, cauliflower tempura, banh mi, jackfruit tacos & the soul bowl. We’ve enjoyed each and everything dish. However the soul bowl is the absolute best! I’ve never had tofu that good in my life!

Average - Edit
I think this place relies on its customers being too inebriated to notice the mediocrity of the food.
Read moreI would recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun bar, but not for eating.
The mac & cheese was tasteless, but the kale salad was nice (though extremely garlicky). Falafel wrap was also ok, but the fries it came with were soggy.

Busy Signal - Edit
My husband and I drove almost an hour last night to try Sputnik since it was late and most other places were closed. We tried calling them the whole way down there and it was a continuous busy signal. I figured we could just place the order when we got there. When I went in I was told there had been an emergency and they shut the kitchen down. She gave me a little attitude and referenced a sign on the door that I didn’t see when I walked in. The emergency is of course understandable but I guess they left the phone off the hook as they couldn’t be bothered to answer. If they had it would’ve definitely saved me time and gas.

Great food & atmosphere - Edit
The food is so good, and it's a fun place to hangout. Has a bit of a 90's grunge vibe. Everything I've tried has been great. My only complaint is that they removed their vegan fried pickles from their menu and I miss them. They also change up their menu somewhat regularly, including the vegan options.
Read morePros: Tons of vegan options, Add new vegan items to menu regularly

Amazing Vegan Food! - Edit
Up in Denver for the day and read Sputnik was a Top 10 Vegan restaurant, and it really was!!!! The vegan Corn Dog was the best I’ve ever tried, but the Cubano was the fam favorite of the day! Jackfruit tacos 👍👍 and the Mac-cheese kept our kiddo smiling. This place did not disappoint. Family of 4 with 5 amazing items for under $60.

Don’t bother - Edit
Mega disappointing. This place used to be great years ago. However, now it is trash. Don’t bother to go in there. Unless you enjoy mega bland food and being ignored by servers.
Read moreAre used to work in the service industry and I am a palled at how aloof and uncaring the servers were. This woman ignored so many people that a bunch of people just left since they weren’t even greeted.
One time I got some bomb cauliflower wings from there! But every other time they’ve been bland and almost unpalatable. I will smother them in my own Buffalo sauce since they didn’t season or use Buffalo sauce for the Buffalo wings AT ALL.
Pros: Vegan option exist here, Open later
Cons: Terrible service, Bland food, Always close kitchen early

Rude Owner - Edit
Had an employee order lunch for our team and she was treated very rudely on the phone by owner Matt for not having every detail from 6 different people locked in. The call took only 4 minutes and Matt told her to look at the menu next time because he was busy. There was only 1 person in the whole restaurant 25 minutes later for pick up. When picking up the order, also from Matt, she calmly commented that we liked the food here but maybe he could be more polite on the phone. Matt doubled down and told her "Don't tell me how to do my [censored] job.". An entire order was also missing when we got back to the office but no one wants to deal with Matt again. I certainly won't ever be eating there in the future because of this, even though I am vegan and try to support all restaurants with vegan options.

Great bar food for vegans and non vegans - Edit
Nonvegan husband and I visited on our way into Denver based on suggestions and reviews from Happy Cow. Didn’t disappoint! I got the vegan corn dog, Mac and cheese, and kale Caesar. I normally don’t get a Caesar at a restaurant bc I make my own at home, but this one was really filling and flavorful - hit the spot! Vegan corn dog I think was a Lightlife sausage or similar. Fine, but wish it was more of a hot dog taste. (Breading was really good!)
Read moreQuirky hipster dive bar vibe! We sat outside — there were a few tables and cool “cabanas” constructed we’re assuming for Covid outdoor dining.
My husband was really happy with his non-vegan chicken fingers and fries.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Not too expensive

Food for the soul - Edit
As a visitor from Chicago I was excited to have my first vegan corndog! It did not disappoint; I would definitely get it again! I also tried the vegan mac. It was super tasty as well. I had tried to make vegan mac myself at home and it turned out pretty terribly so I was happily surprised that this tasted like real mac!
Read moreDue to the pandemic, take out was the only thing available so I don't have much to say about the service or atmosphere.
