Hey Denver Tribe...

Taking advantage of Denver's Restaurant Week Tammy and I took a trip to 8 Rivers, the Rum and Caribbean place in Lodo that CucamongaChango and I were discussing earlier.

Well I am pleased to report that my worries about it being a trustafarain wannabe place were not correct.
Very nice what I would expect of a high end Caribbean resort, not just a Bob Marley Bar.

The Rum selection is just what the website claims and the Owner and Bar staff were very nice and happy to talk Rums with us pulling down several bottles just to get the "nose of".
They were also quite honest about comparing/describing the different types by the same distillers.
I was also able to make my own "Flight" to compare 4 different rums that they have that I have never tried.

on to the food...

Some of you are aware that I spent some time living down island in the land of Jimmy...(they didn't play any)
I am very happy to report that the menu items that we tried were some of the best island fare I have ever had not just the standard throw some jerk on chicken and call it Jamaican.
Portions were large not what I would expect of a Lodo cuisine place

Tammy and I will be going back for sure.
