Motif in Old Colorado City

We did a quick post about Motif when they first opened and we went there for a drink. We recently went there two more times and had some of their yummy food. Just a warning, it is very small food. Like tiny. Don’t expect to have a meal there. But if you just want to have a couple of small snacks with your drinks you’ll do just fine.

They have live jazz every night inside, which is where you’ll probably want to hang out now that it’s cooler.

Even tho it was October, it was really nice out so we sat on the patio. Here’s a funny look at what this space looked like before Motif arrived.  Yea, they did a lot of work!

Since I was going thru my chai fascination at that time, I ordered the Pumpkin Spiced Chai Martini. It was really awesome.

We also ordered some deep fried artichoke hearts which were delish.

The dessert special was a plate of lollipops- two were cheesecake and two were chocolate truffle. Yum!
