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 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!

    The food and drinks are amazing. I love that everything is vegan and tastes delicious. The curry has to be one of the best things on the menu.

    Every dish our group ordered was bursting with flavor. As an omnivore, I didn’t miss the meat! Fun, relaxed decor. Prices were reasonable. On street parking is a little tricky. Next time I will ride share to the location

    A true hidden Gen. Great food, great cocktails, great service. If walking from downtown convention center, consider an Uber. While the restaurant is on a very beautiful quant street, you will have to walk through an “at risk” neighborhood to get there.

    We like the atmosphere and vegan/ vegetarian options. I’ve been there twice now and have found the food bland. The mofongo is the best thing on the menu.

    We arrived and caught the end of happy hour, so awesome, The Double Double. We then split a quesadilla and we were stuffed. Connor was superb as our server. We’re looking forward to another summer evening with you soon!
