Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, Ft. Collins CO

August 3, 2011


I met a friend at Buffalo wild wings for lunch. I got dropped off in one of the two handicap spots by the next store. One spot was on the side that we needed for the ramp part of the van, it was not a very big loading zone and if there was a car in the next spot there probably would not have been enough room to unload.

There are two sets of doors in the front with quite a bit of room in the front area and around the doors. The bathroom is fairly easy to get in it was one little tight around the door into the bathroom and the stall door since they were close together but there was enough room in the stall and quite a bit room in front of the sink area. I could get to most of the tables some of them were a little hard to get to but most of them will work fine for a wheelchair.

Hard Rock Cafe Denver CO

April 14, 2011


I came to the Hard Rock Cafe for an MDA support group. We have the meeting room upstairs. This is located right on the 16th St. mall and was easy to get into, you have to find somewhere to park which might be difficult we parked at a lot not too far away when we got inside the lady at the front told us MDA group was upstairs and she pushed the elevator button for us. Upstairs there is a bathroom with an accessible stall and a sink that worked well.

The bathroom was good and would normally work great, but there was a wait because everyone needed the accessible stall. The meeting room is large even with a bunch of wheelchairs that take up a lot of space.

Choice City Butcher

June 3, 20011
There was a handicapped spot just down the road. There would not have been enough room to unload with a car in the next spot. Around the corner was another spot that would have worked better with enough room. When you go inside you immediately turn and go down a ramp which made it hard for someone to hold the door. My friend was there to help, but it was hard for him to do this. They had a sign at the bottom of the ramp that made me turn short and kind of off the side of the ramp which wasn't too high of a drop off. Inside was very crowded especially for a wheelchair. You have to order at one counter and go to another to pay. The counter to order at was fairly easy to get to, but it was hard for me to get to the counter where we had to pay so my friend took my money to pay for me. I probably could have got there, but it was crowded.

Tres Margaritas

March, 2011
There were two handicap spots with the loading zone in between in front of the restaurant. They both happened to be full at the time. When you get onto the sidewalk to the restaurant there are steps up to the door. I had to go around a couple of trees to a ramp that goes up to the door. Inside they have tile floors which were rough for me driving my wheelchair across. There were steps and a ramp to get to the main seating area, the ramp was slightly out of my way but not too bad. The table was okay but not great, there was enough room on the table and to get to the table.

La Casa Del Rey, Commerce City, CO

July 15, 2011

There were two handicap spots directly in front of the door with a big loading zone, but when we arrived they were both full. There were very many cars in the parking lot at this point, so we parked in a spot with no one around it so we could unload. It was easy to get inside and when inside they told us to sit wherever we would like. The first section was just booths, which would not work for me. Further into the restaurant there were multiple tables that were accessible. The table was a good height for my wheelchair and had enough room. The one problem I had, since I can't lift my drink glass I have to slide it, the table had a tablecloth that wasn't easy to slide things along so I had to be careful not to spill my drink. The bathrooms were in front of the restaurant I did not use them though, my mom did say the women's room was accessible.
