DENVER • When a menu deliberately lists desserts first, you know this is not a typical restaurant, which is true about Wild Corgi Pub in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It’s obvious from the name this is a bar, but the bill of fare proves it is more than that. Food and drinks are touted in equal measure, and we enjoyed both sides of Wild Corgi’s personality.
This is a lively place with creative entrees. So it’s a win-win-win for those who want a meal, alcoholic (or nonalcoholic) beverage and a dessert as decadent as tiramisu or as simple as a couple of freshly baked cookies. However, we went in a more traditional route and skipped past the dessert section to the appetizers.
We chose buffalo cauliflower wings ($12) for two reasons: I like the veggie and I was curious about how this would be prepared. Keeping with the wing theme, we added blue cheese dipping sauce to the order. This was a surprising 50 cents extra, but worth it.
Cauliflower florets coated with a tangy, not-overly-spicy buffalo sauce are baked to a crunchy finish. They aren’t very pretty, but the flavors hit the mark when thinking about wings. These also made us feel a little virtuous because we were eating vegetables.
Entrees include an array of sandwiches, burgers, traditional chicken wings and salads. The offerings were extensive, which made it difficult to make decisions. The uniquely named spicy luau pork delight ($16.
99) was ultimately ordered along with the Hawaiian chicken sandwich ($15.99). Wil.
