Bang Up to the Elephant blends the intimacy of indoor dining with the natural enchantment of the outdoors, providing a sultry space for escape and rejuvenation. The restaurant’s namesake, a Victorian-era phrase for 'properly done,' is reflected in every detail, from its spirited atmosphere to its thoughtfully prepared dishes, creating one of the more unique dining experiences in Denver.

Prioritizing the well-being of our life-sustaining oceans and land, the restaurant serves 100% plant-based dishes that are considerately crafted. Bang Up to the Elephant’s lush ambiance embodies our passion for focused and always-evolving menus that are globally inspired. With adventurous spices and heat, our ingredients are always vegan, fresh-from-scratch, and carefully sourced.

Amidst the tree–lined heart of our historically artistic Capitol Hill neighborhood, the restaurant hosts local art and entertainers through ongoing events – a must-visit for Denver's socially vibrant dining and arts scene.

    We’re located on the East side of Pearl between 13th and 14th Avenues. Don’t you bring that silly horseless carriage to Cap Hill- We’ve got 18 places to secure your 18 bicycles, all located right next to the restaurant. Otherwise, it’s street parking; totally doable -but plan for a little extra time ;)

    We are not vegetarians but enjoy a vegetarian meal, occasionally. And, after tasting the food at Bang Up To The Elephant, we will be eating plant-based more often. This will be our place! The food was absolutely amazing. The flavors and combinations were truly fabulous. We are already talking about when we will be going back again and bringing friends!

    Drinks and appetizers were good but then our waiter disappeared and the entrees were Meh. Thought we could save the meal with some dessert but sadly no dessert menu. Boo. This is why vegan and vegetarian restaurants struggle so much - mediocre food and poor service.

    The bat vibe in this place was wonderful, and there was great food for all of our vegan and omnivorous friends. We were a larger party from ages 17 to 83, and everyone was very happy there!

    We had the best experience! This restaurant is so much fun and a great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and unique tasty food. We had a large group for a birthday party and they were so accommodating. We got our drinks and apps quickly and all the food was amazing. The ambience has a tropical club vibe without it being loud tacky. Great place for a group to have a good time! Be aware, parking is VERY difficult to find!

    Great food and generous portions. Check for parking ahead of your visit somewhat limited in the area.
