Its mainly for the artsy crowd. Put on shows and mic nights and readings and bands. The build of the room is definitely meant for entertainment. Ive never been to a bar where everyone whispers!!!! The food is gas station food. One of my pics shows the gas station-type hotdog machine and nacho cheese. Only have a handful of beers on tap. This place is highly accessible however. ♿Ive been to this place three times on weekends and its not been packed. I dont know how it is still in business.Update: um apparently theres a dog that they have at this bar (see last 3 pics). It spends time serving beers and chilling on the countertop!! Im pretty sure that is against health codes!! Hence, 1 star!!!

Definitely a hole-in-the-wall (a small and often unpretentious out-of-the-way place) kind of place with a stage, a bar, a variety of seating, and some arcade games to round it out. I imagine the vibe changes depending on whos playing, but on my recent first visit for a showcase of 3 bands it was a good crowd and Ill definitely be back.The folks working A/V were clearly having a lot of fun with lights and even a smoke machine. The bar selection isnt huge, but they have a little bit of everything at reasonable prices.ETA: in response to the owners response - what I mean when I say hole-in-the-wall - a statement of what visitors should expect that isnt intended to be derogatory in any way!

First the manager wanted $50 for a table for my wife and I to sit at ,but he only charged us $40. Watched several people who just walked in and were not charged the food - was terrible. Gas station food is much better! then .the people standing in front of the stage blocking our view of the stage. $40 dollars for a table, what a joke. The worst was the people vaping passing the vaping pen to each other definitely smoking pot. Its against the law to vape in a bar. There were two different groups of people vaping!!! This is due to your manager not doing his job, dont waste your money. There are a lot better places to go on a Saturday night no wonder the place was empty. Visited on 8/10. Could be a great place with the right manager.

I owned this place when it was The Toad Tavern. Best live music in Littleton and the most fun you can have with your pants on!

A bit of a fustercluck as far as band booking -- the night I went three bands were booked but only the opening act showed up (but they were REALLY good) and even the sound guy was a last minute fill-in doing his best to deal with an underpowered PA. But its an interesting joint. A big long bar, a small seating area, a big, well-lit pool table room and a HUGE fully-furnished stage which can make the place seem a lot bigger than it is.

Bandoke karaoke with a live band what a great thing. And the food trucks that come here are good too! Love this place what a great vibe. Bartenders on point and very friendly inviting place.

I went for an all girl comedy event. My family and I had a blast! It was the bars first sold-out venue. The staff was wonderful. I wish they had hand chalk for playing pool and sawdust for the shuffleboard.

Review №8

Seriously terrible bar service. Tried for Chardonnay for my wife, they thought I meant Champaign. Guy next to me had to explain what a Black and Tan was. They had to look up the cost of a soda. Watched them make a Margarita out of unknown elements. And this was primetime Friday night...unless youre ordering tap beer, be careful. Cash was hard for them to manage. Sound man appeared to be deaf - one mic on stage and it sounded terrible.

Review №13

This place used to be a vibe: loved Christine, Amanda, and Alyssa. Tried to come tonight and they were refusing entry unless you paid 10$ entry fee. These “bands” are unknown and I’m not going to waste money to go drunk at bar and see some no name. Also doorman was so rude. You guys are a dive bar. Not a venue. I was a regular and won’t be returning. Lower your standards cuz you aren’t worth a cover fee hahahah

Real cool place. First time here and they had music students playing. Thanks for supporting your local music talent. Had to leave before 9pm but had a great time. Bartenders were great and fast, left a 50% tip for them. Lots of room to sit and plenty of extra bar games to play. Great staff and very friendly. Seems like the locals are very sociable, talked to many new people and made a few new friends. Great atmosphere. Seems like the owner and staff work hard to make the place a warm and friendly place to be. Ill be back for sure with friends.

Review №20

Ive seen a few decent bands there and the lighting was appropriate but the last 3 Saturday nights Ive been there, the place was lit up like I was shopping in a cvs. Its annoying & the lights are so bright its almost blinding, definitely ruined the vibe. Ive asked twice if they could lower the lights when they have live music but they must be playing bingo in the dance area or something because they just ignored me. Its astounding that nobody sees anything wrong with it. Now, I just drive by, if ALL the house lights are on like its closing time & theyre clearing out,....while the band is playing, I just keep driving on. Get it together please, I have no idea how anyone who works in a bar, or a patron who wants to hang out on a Saturday night wants to feel like theyre in a library, with lights blaring. I truly hope somebody reads this that works there & explains their theory on why they feel having the lights on full blast is a good idea.

Best bar around town. Was first introduced to fracos in February and have been coming back frequently. Especially on Friday nights for karaoke, Alyssa the KJ is wonderful. She’s so bubbly and makes the experience amazing. I will say what keeps me returning are the amazing bartenders. Every interaction I have with anyone who is working is always the best! But specifically Amanda, and Tomas are always on their A game, and truly what I believe makes fracos the bar that it is. Keep up the hard work the both of you! And thank you for all you do!!

Good atmosphere, clean bar, fair service. Pool, Foosball, a few video games, plenty of televisions. Didnt eat, but bar food options available. Didnt hear any complaints from those around me who ordered food. Good place to hear live music.

Review №35

The owner is trash and doesnt know how to pour a beer, or change a keg. Probably the reason his old bartenders (friends) are working somewhere else. Stay away from this place. Over priced no food.

Review №36

Weird spot, built into a strip mall kinda thing, but reasonable relaxed and normal bar inside. The hidden gem in this establishment is its incredible sound system. Highly recommend for live music, although the stage is set up in a way that makes it difficult to move about the bar without feeling like you are disrupting other patrons viewing experience. Bartenders are gruff but polite. Also are a few pool tables in the back.

Friday night and deadsville. Nothing happening. No entertainment except for the baseball game on. Big screen but not much help. Nothing to do but drink and argue. Had one drink and left. I blame the 10:00 last call. I wonder which speak easy the governor is hanging out at.

Tomas is the best bartender Ive ever had. He makes Fracos stupendously awesome, two thumbs up. It was better than Cats.

Review №46

Yes, if your a bigger individual, do not come here. Bartenders Ariel and Amanda stopped serving me and when i asked them why they told me because of my apperance and that they didnt want to serve me anymore. I was not drunk, no where near at all, but that is the answer I got after waiting 45 min for a drink. I have spent a lot here and have tipped very graciously, if you want reciepts I will upload them. Everytime im treated less than human and im either ignored or given rude remarks from them when i want to spend money. I have a designated driver and i told them that, but because of my appearance and size im always discriminated against. My friend who was my designated driver had no problem getting served the whole night and got all the drinks he wanted. They dont treat any other patrons like they treated me. Take it with a grain of salt, but please heed my warning before going to this establishment. I never have been treated like this at a bar before.

Just not a professional music venue. Our band wasnt able to play on a night when we were scheduled because time ran out. They still paid us our cut of the door but they kept their cut. So we had to pay our fans back with some of our own money.

Review №66

First date night my husband and I had had in over 6 months. Went to the bar waited almost 20 minutes before the waitress came up to the table. I asked for a sweet Margarita (strawberry, mango something sweet) and a menu. Was then told that they dont have a kitchen staff that they had pre-made burritos from earlier in the day. I declined, ordering chips and salsa, my friends ordered two burritos. Husband ordered a beer everyone else at the table ordered beer. Our order came out, I received a regular marg with a sugar rim, the burritos came out looking like the pre packaged ones from 7-11. Drank the drink after added 2 glasses of water to it to water down the sourness. I then ordered a peach schnapps, cranberry and orange juice. The orange juice was the cheap donald duck orange juice and the cranberry juice was the cheap fake cranberry juice. I didnt finish that drink. I actually got up and left went home, when my husband paid for the drinks both drinks were 9 bucks a piece. The chips and salsa were okay they were the 2 dollar bag of chips that you get from King Soopers and Pace Picante Salsa.I was more disapppointed in the fact the website hasnt been updated to let us know there is no menu or a limited menu. The band Mike Hornbuckle was AWESOME!.I wont be going back.
