One of Colorado’s Most-Unique Restaurants is In an Old Schoolhouse

It's great when a restaurant/pub in Colorado not only has a tasty menu, lots of whiskeys, beers and wines, but also is a destination. Here's your chance to go "back to school," and enjoy it.

No teachers, no classes, no exams, but this place really makes you feel your at school; it's just not your average school. It's a spot that Coloradans need to put on their list of "unique spots to check out," when it comes to a fun dining experience.

Plus, it's in a building that was once a school, over 100 years ago.
